00:00Cebu City's national football team is doing well.

00:03Meanwhile, Cebu City LGU is worried about the taxi drivers

00:09who are overpriced when they ask passengers to give them a massage.

00:13This is what Jesse Atienza of PPV Cebu reported.

00:18Athletes are being rushed to the infirmary in Cebu City Sports Center.

00:24Most of them have minor injuries.

00:27One of them is basketball player from Caraga Region, Irvin,

00:32who can't play in the remaining days of the competition.

00:36When I block, I don't have balance when I kick.

00:40I don't have strength because I can only get up when it's my turn.

00:45According to the management of Cebu City Medical Center,

00:48there are more than 100 athletes who were rushed to the hospital

00:52who suffered injuries.

00:54Most of them suffered from fever, cough,

00:57and there are 12 cases of dengue.

01:01Most likely before they left because at least one of the delegates,

01:06one of the athletes was having fever already before they left their place.

01:11So, and then you know, it takes three, four days for them to manifest.

01:16So I think most of them or a majority really got it before they came here.

01:22In the monitoring of the organizers of Palarumpang Bansa,

01:26the running of the competition is going well.

01:29So far, so good. We have medals already awarded.

01:34During day one, the weather is quite good yesterday,

01:38although there were rains at night,

01:40but we're able to finish the football competition here at the Cebu City Sports Center.

01:48So we have less complaints or less issues being raised to the organizers,

01:57less concerns.

01:58Meanwhile, a turnover ceremony was held at Cebu City Hall.

02:03Eight police vehicles and high-powered firearms were given by the LGU to the PNP,

02:08which is a big help in ensuring the safety of the competition.

02:13Cebu City Acting Mayor Raymond Alvin Garcia did not hesitate to report

02:19that some of the last taxidrivers overpriced their delegations.

02:25That's why we have exerted so much effort in the billeting quarters.

02:29We have exerted so much effort in the preparation of our track oval,

02:32our Cebu City Sports Center, and everything.

02:35Our police, safety, peace and order, we brought everything.

02:40No stone left unturned.

02:43There are just one or two or three individuals that we can rely on.

02:51So I'm very serious about this.

02:55As the competition continues, the authorities are on high alert

03:00in the billeting quarters, playing venues, and public places

03:04to ensure the safety and security of the national football in the Queen City of the South.
