CEBU CITY, Philippines -- The chief of police in Cebu City is asking the public to bear with the traffic congestion in some of the major roads in the city, now that it under general community
said that traffic congestion is expected mainly because of two reasons–the increase in number of people coming in the city and the continuous checkpoints being conducted by the police in some streets in the city.“Expect that there will be heavy traffic because aside from the many [people] coming in, police are also conducting checkpoints everywhere. We are checking because we are still in community quarantine,” said Ligan.
Ligan estimates that at least 80 percent of the vehicles are out on the streets on Monday, which is the reason why he believes checkpoints are important since this will make sure that people going out have valid reasons.
