2 Cebu City brgys get new police station, water system

The Aboitiz Foundation Inc. partnered with the Cebu City government and the Cebu City Police Office (CCPO) for the construction of a new police station in barangay Parian and a water system in barangay Bacayan.

Aboitiz Foundation president Jon Ramon Aboitiz, Cebu City Mayor Michael Rama, CCPO Chief Senior Supt. Melvin Buenafe and representatives from Cebu Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CCCI) led the signing of agreement for the two projects last April 13. A groundbreaking activity was also held beside the old Parian police station.

This is the second police station that will be constructed by the Aboitiz Foundation.  The first one was the Mabolo police station and its fire department building.

Aboitiz said the project was in support to the Adopt-a-Precinct program of the city and the CCCI.

“This project in Parian will be our contribution to the local police force. This will ensure that the police will be efficient in providing peace and order services to our people,” Aboitiz said.

He also challenged the CCPO to take good care of the new building and maximize its use.

Mayor Rama and Buenafe expressed their thanks for the project.

The design of the new Parian police station building will complement the rich heritage of barangay Parian.

The project, which costs P2.64 million, is estimated to be finished in August. The building will be turned over to the CCPO after the construction.

Also on the same day, the foundation signed an agreement with the Bacayan barangay officials for the construction of the water system in the mountain barangay.
