+ April 21, 2021 THE Cebu City government won’t ask for permits from individuals and groups who plan to organize community pantries around the city.
But Cebu City Mayor Edgardo Labella urged community pantry organizers to coordinate with their respective barangays first before holding their activities so that barangay officials can monitor them for health protocol compliance.
