City Information Office (CIO) head Harvey Lanticse said the city continues to coordinate with the Department of Education (DepEd) and the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) to ensure the welfare and security of learners.
Mayor Baste Duterte has directed the Security Cluster, through the Public Safety and Security Office (PSSO), to deploy additional security personnel in and around learning facilities.
Lanticse said the enhanced security measures will continue as the city reinforces its culture of security and preparedness.
He also expressed the city government’s sympathy and prayers for the victims of the Zamboanga incident and their families.
Authorities appealed to the public for cooperation as the city implements the strengthened security protocols.
