(File photo) CEBU CITY - It's all systems go for the visit of President Rodrigo Duterte for the opening ceremony of the Cebu-Cordova Link Expressway (CCLEX) on April 27, Mayor Michael Rama said on Friday. Rama said a presidential inaugural marker will be installed in the iconic bridge, an 8.9-kilometer toll-way bridge project connecting this capital with the island town of Cordova. He said the city police here has put in place a security master plan to secure the CCLEX and the periphery, with details on the security aspect of the preparation were already discussed during his meeting with CCLEX Bridge Management Board on Wednesday. Rama said security is among the major concerns as no less than the President is expected to grace the launching of the iconic bridge. "The President's presence is important because no matter what, he is part of (the milestone) in the past six years. He came in and the whole bridge proceeded," he added. Duter
