LAPU-LAPU City Mayor Paz Radaza tasked several government agencies in the city to check barangays for the presence of cybersex dens.
The Department of Social Welfare and Development, Barangay Peacekeeping Action Team and the barangay tanods were tasked to inspect barangays especially Marigondon, Maribago and Basak.
The barangays were earlier reported to have cybersex dens by Supt. Anthony Obenza, city police chief.
No cybersex dens were found in initial investigations, but Radaza said city government agencies should be vigilant and check the barangays periodically.
The mayor said she hopes the city’s policemen can do more and apprehend cybersex den operators.
Radaza is still waiting for Obenza to submit a report on cybersex dens in Lapu-Lapu City.
The mayor in her State of the City Address challenged the police to intensify their fight against crime in the city.
She gave them until December to bring down the crime rate./Correspondent Norman V. Mendoza
