GUAGUA Mayor Dante Torres said the municipal government is set to donate a piece of land to the Philippine National Police for the construction of their own municipal police station.

Torres said the property is located at the government center in Barangay San Antonio, near the offices of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources and the Department of Public Works and Highways.

“This will enable them to have a bigger and better space for a police station,” Torres said.

He noted that the current police station merely shares office space with the other municipal government departments at the Mang Andres Goseco Building in front of the municipal hall.

Torres said he hopes to start construction of the new police station soon.

WHERE’S THE WATER? Water is sparse at the Jaclupan wellfield in Talisay City in this photo provided by the Metropolitan Cebu Water District (MCWD) on Friday, April 26, 2024. Completed in 1998, MCWD’s Jaclupan facility, officially known as the Mananga Phase I Project, catches, impounds and pumps out around 30,000 cubic meters of water per day under normal circumstances. However, on Friday, MCWD spokesperson Minerva Gerodias said the facility’s daily production had plummeted to 8,000 cubic meters per day, or just about a quarter of its normal capacity, as Cebu grapples with the effects of the drought caused by the El Niño phenomenon, which is expected to persist until the end of May. The facility supplies water to consumers in Talisay City and Cebu City. /
