PRESS RELEASE

CLOSAP Conducts Surprise Drug Test on City Clearing Team Workers

Personnel from the City of Lapu-Lapu Office of Substance Abuse Prevention (CLOSAP) surprised workers of the City Clearing Team with an unannounced drug test on Wednesday, December 11.

City Clearing Team head, Retired Colonel Noli Sernio, said he ordered all 42 members of his team — 35 job-order employees and 7 casual workers — to submit urine samples to CLOSAP personnel who arrived at their office unexpectedly.

Media members followed CLOSAP personnel as they supervised the testing and covered the event.

CLOSAP personnel closely monitored each worker as they provided urine samples, ensuring the samples were properly collected in small bottles.

Sernio told the media that any worker who tests positive for drugs will undergo a second test to confirm the results. If the second test is also positive, their fate will be decided by Mayor Junard “Ahong” Chan, who will determine whether they will be dismissed from City Hall or given a second chance to reform through drug rehabilitation.

Sernio stated that this is the first drug test conducted by his office this year, adding that more tests will follow in the future.

Morning Prayer🙏

PAG-AMPO NGADTO SA INAHAN SA KANUNAYNG PANABANG

O Inahan sa Kanunayng Panabang,
tan awa kami imong mga anak.
Among himaya nga kami imong mga anak
ug kalipay namo ang pagtawag kanimo nga among Inahan.
Apan daghan pa kaayo kami ug kulang
busa midangop kami kanimo among Inahan.
Andam ikaw kanunay sa pagdawat
bisan unsay among kahimtang karon aron pagdasig kanamo
sa pagdugang pagpaningkamot sa pagka-maayo
bisan pa sa tanang mga pag-tental ug sa among kahuyang.

Sa among pagtan-aw sa imong larawan
nahinumdom kami sa imong kinabuhi dinhi sa kalibutan.
Nahiagum ka sa daghang mga krus ug mga pagsulay
apan naantigo ka sa pagsagubang kanila.
May pagtoo ka ug pagsalig sa Dios.
Nagsalig ka sa iyang mahigugmaon ug amahanon nga kaayo.
Tabangi kami sa pagsunod kanimo.
Nahiagom usab kami sa mga pagsulay ug kagul-anan.
Sa makadaghan naguol kami ug nalibog.
Tagai kami sa kaisog.
Lig-ona ang among pagtoo.
Tabangi kami sa pagpadayon sa dugang pagpaningkamot
sa higayon nga kawad-an kami sa paglaum.

Sa imong pagbarog sa tiilan sa krus
nalibog ug naglisud ka sa pagsabot
ngano nga mitugot man ang Dios nga ang iyang Anak
nag-antus sa ingon nga kasakit.

Apan bisan pa niana, wala gayod ikaw kawad-i sa pagtoo.
Tabangi kami nga makakat-on gikan sa imong panig-ingnan
sa pagharong sa mga pagsulay
uban sa paglaum ug pagsalig sa Dios.

Usahay mahigugmaong Inahan,
hilabihan ang among kaguol tungod sa among mga suliran
mao nga nahikalimot na lamang kami sa Dios
ug sa mga kinahanglanon sa uban.

Buot kami nga mahisama kanimo.
Nahikalimot ka sa imong kaugalingon ug sa imong mga suliran
diha sa pagkakita nimo sa uban nga nagkinahanglan.
Tabangi kami sa paghinumdom
nga ang mga kaguol ug kasakit sa uban
usahay mas dagko pa kaysa amoa.

Busa, Maria among Inahan, bisan nagaampo kami kanimo
alang sa mga lain-lain namong mga tuyo among giapil silang tanan nga imong mga anak
nga nanginahanglan ang mga masakiton ug himalatyon,
ang mga gimingaw ug naguol, ang mga kabus ug mga linupigan, sa usa ka pulong ang tanan nga nagkinahanglan sa imong kanunayng panabang.

Amen.

LOOK | The City Government of Lapu-Lapu issued a formal Cease and Desist order against Mr. Kim Young Wook, the owner of Zyrena Mactan Resort Hotel, on December 9, 2024. The resort is located in Barangay Subabasbas, Lapu-Lapu City.

The order mandates that Mr. Kim immediately cease all rip-rap activities and demolish any structures related to illegal construction at his own expense. This action follows an investigation prompted by a viral video showing footage of a ransacking incident at the resort in September 2024.

In response to the video, which gained widespread attention online, Lapu-Lapu City Mayor Junard "Ahong" Chan visited the resort on December 4, 2024, to personally assess the situation. His visit was live streamed on Facebook.

Subsequently, city officials conducted a thorough ocular inspection, which revealed multiple violations of both local and national regulations. These violations directly led to the issuance of the Cease-and-Desist order. PIO
