CTMS Chief Mario Napule thanked the company for the donation, saying the vests are of big help to them.
He said the vests are very useful for the safety of CTMS personnel in manning the traffic.
In a separate development, 40 CTMS enforcers will undergo a two-day seminar to be spearheaded by the city government.
The seminar will start today, March 8, and will conclude tomorrow. It will be held at the hall of the Lapu-Lapu City Tourism Office.
It will be done in two batches in coordination with the Lapu-Lapu City Police Office -Traffic Enforcement Unit.

"We are coordinating with the traffic police. They will be the first batch to undergo the seminar," Radaza said.
