The electronic boards pegged at P6 million each will be installed in skywalks in barangay Jagobiao, Subangdaku, United Nations Avenue, barangay Looc and barangay Centro.

Mandaue City Administrator James Abadia said there was a private company that offered free electronic boards on the condition that they will place advertisements on its sides.
