Priest who enjoyed the "lantaka" now approves its banning

“LANTAKA” BANNED. The police have banned the “lantaka”, the toy cannon made of bamboo, which the boys long ago had fun toying with. A priest was heard commenting on the banning of this toy cannon: “Sa bata pa ko, enjoy kaayo ko ining kanyon-kanyon nga among pabuthon uban sa kong mga kababata atol sa Pasko ug Bag-ong Tuig.” He said no one was hurt by “lantaka.”

BANNING OK. The priest, now in his mid-sixties, blame the “new generation of young people” for tampering with the toy cannon. “Ilang balahan of basiyong tin can o ba kaha garapa diin daghan na ang nangaangol,” the priest said adding: “Mayrang giban na kining luwas unta ang kalingawan sa mga bata.”
