POLICE are looking into the possibility of shutting down mobile phone signals again during the Sinulog fiesta next year.
Senior Superintendent Renato Dugan, Police Regional Office-Central Visayas's Community Relations Division chief, said Wednesday, November 14, that they have not reached a final decision yet but they are entertaining the possibility.
He said they will conduct a meeting to discuss more of the plan.
"Our priority is security regardless of everything," he said.
The National Telecommunications Commission approved for the first time in January 2017 the request of PRO-Central Visayas to shut down some cell sites of mobile companies.
The move was aimed at preventing possible terrorist attacks.
Dugan said the military and police will have no problems in communicating with each other as they have radios. (KAL/VoxPop Cebu)
