The Carmen Municipal Government in northern Cebu approved the purchase of a P7.12 million closed-circuit television system. The system includes multiple cameras, but several are reported to be non-functional.

The decision was made despite concerns about the system’s effectiveness. Local officials acknowledged the issue but stated that the project would proceed. The system is intended to improve public safety and security in the area.

The approval comes amid ongoing discussions about modernizing municipal infrastructure. Previous reports highlighted the need for reliable security systems in public spaces. This case reflects broader challenges in ensuring that public funds are used effectively.
