Those squatters' houses under the bridge are tourist attraction?
LEAVE THEM ALONE. There is a move to wipe out, so to speak, the cluster of houses below the Marcelo Fernan Bridge because "they constitute an eyesore." A Cebuano businessman doing business in Bandar Seri Begawan suggests: "Leave those sea houses alone. They are not eyesores but tourist attractions." He says this cluster of sea houses has the looks of the Water Village in Bandar Seri Begawan, the number one tourist attraction in Brunei. SON OF A COP. A third year high school student is proud of his being a son of a police officer. "He is so proud," says an Ear reader, "that at one time he was heard telling a bakeshop tindera 'papa ko polis.'" This he said when the tindera refused to give him "pakapin" or a freebie to the amount of bread he had bought.
