CEBU, Philippines — The Cebu City Police Office is looking into a reported riot during a basketball game in Apas, Cebu City.
Police Lieutenant Col. Janette Rafter, deputy director for operation and spokesperson at CCPO, said they are coordinating with the organizer since the incident was not reported to them.
“I will advise the station commander to conduct investigation on this matter,” said Rafter.
The police also have advised the organizer to ensure security during the game to avoid trouble since the goal is to strengthen friendship among the young people.
“Again sa mga nagpasiugda niana mas maayo gyud og itaho pud sa atong kapulisan ba nga ilabi na kanang medyo dako-dako na, kabalo mo daghan og tawo mo-attend ana, mga dagko nga barangay mas maayo gyud inyong itaho sa atong kapulisan,” said Rafter.
Rafter also advised the public to avoid betting since it would only cause chaos among supporters. — (FREEMAN)
