Manila Mayor Lito Atienza said the city government has replaced benches in public parks with ones that can be fastened by bolts to the ground.


This developed after 25 of the 30 benches that line the stretch of Roxas Boulevard were stolen one rainy night last month. After a two-week search, the benches were found in the possession of Maximo Viola, a restaurateur in Malate, who admitted stealing them for fun.
