250 cops deployed for vice mayors' convention in CDO

CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY — At least 250 police personnel were deployed Monday, 9 November, to secure more than 800 delegates expected to attend the 30th Vice Mayors' League of the Philippines (VMLP) National Convention from 10 to 13 November.

Cagayan de Oro City Police Office spokesperson Maj. Amelita Simon said personnel would be stationed in strategic locations, particularly around the Limketkai Complex, where delegates from across the country will gather.

Personnel from the Philippine Army, Philippine Coast Guard and Bureau of Fire Protection will also assist in securing convention venues, ports, bus terminals and other areas of convergence.

Vice Mayor Jocelyn "Bebot" Rodriguez and the 21st City Council will welcome the delegates to the four-day gathering.

Carrying the theme "One Legislature, One Digital Future," the convention will highlight the introduction of the eLegis Reference System, a digital platform designed to connect local legislative councils and strengthen collaboration among local governments.

The event follows the city's hosting of a League of Cities of the Philippines gathering in October.
