The return of Mana-ay to Cadiz City was requested by Escalante from Chief Supt. Cipriano Querol, regional police director of Western Visayas, Guisihan said.

Senior Inspector Gil John Despi, who served as Cadiz police officer-in-charge for a month, is returning to his old position as deputy police chief.
