“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.”
