JOAVAN IN ANOTHER FEEDING PROGRAM

THE Cebu City police will invite Joavan Fernandez to  its feeding program for street children next week.

Senior Supt. Melvin Ramon Buenafe, chief of the Cebu City Police Office, said the adopted  son of Talisay City Mayor Socrates Fernandez, should continue participating in civic  activities and stay away  from illegal activities.

Joavan had promised to reform following his several brushes with the law.

Buenafe offered to be his mentor.

Joavan is scheduled to join another activity to build shelters for poor families in one of the barangays in Talisay City./CORRESPONDENT CHITO O. ARAGON
