The Cebu City Council’s committee on infrastructure chairman Cebu City Councilor Jerry Guardo said that the Prevention, Restoration, Order, Beautification, and Enhancement (PROBE) were sent to assist the residents who are leaving the area.

There 34 households were given financial aid worth P35,000 to each household affected by the relocation.
