Schools in Mandaue and Lapu-Lapu cities have increased security measures, including the use of transparent bags, to improve campus safety. Education officials and local authorities are implementing these changes in response to recent concerns about student safety. Transparent bags are now required for students and staff to ensure that no prohibited items are brought onto school premises. The move follows a series of discussions between school administrators and local government units. The new rules aim to prevent the entry of dangerous objects and promote a safer learning environment. Schools are also reviewing other security protocols to complement the transparent bag policy.
