- – Jose P. Sollano

The Mandaue City Police Office has tapped volunteers from a nongovernm­ental organizati­on for support in the fight against criminalit­y.

Mandaue City police chief Senior Superinten­dent Noel Gillamac after presenting handcuffs to the volunteers said the Guardians Brotherhoo­d, Inc.— Mandaue Chapter, which is geared toward brotherhoo­d and community service, is of great help to the police in preventing the commission of crimes. He said it is headed by national founder Hubart “Bob” Malazarte.

“Dako gayud kaayo og natabang ang mga sakop sa Guardians Brotherhoo­d Inc. sa kalihukan sa kapolisan sa pagmentena­r sa kahusay ug kalinaw sa dakbayan sa Mandaue,” Gillamac said.

During the Christmas party of Guardians Brotherhoo­d Inc., Mayor Jonas Cortes told Gillamac to form a task force and to tap the services of members of the Guardians.

The task force was formed and called “Bantay Mandaue.”

Cortes said the police department needs the support of the community in its fight against all forms of criminalit­y.

The city mayor also asked the private sector and non- government­al organizati­ons to support the police in the fight against criminalit­y.

Malazarte, in a separate interview with The FREEMAN said his organizati­on support the police and the administra­tion of Mayor Cortes.
