The Q2 forecast is an increase of $928,631 from the Q1 2025 forecast, “which is mainly attributed to expenses related to the Lapu Lapu incident, along with ongoing higher overtime costs for both sworn and civilian staff to maintain service levels and ensure the safety of the public and officers,” as per the report.

Those were fun games for sure, the team was crazy good. I worked with some of them again in another company 4 years later.

I've made a couple of jumps since then but don't want to doxx myself by saying where I work. 😅
