Mayoral Spokesperson Janboy Actub acknowledged operational shortcomings and lapses during recent road clearing drives in Cagayan de Oro, explaining that minimal force was applied due to persistent non-compliance by recurring illegal vendors.

Following calls from local officials, including Vice Mayor Jocelyn B. Rodriguez, for enforcement with greater public compassion, Actub assured that Mayor Klarex Uy’s office is refining protocols for future operations to balance legal compliance with humane treatment.
