A grown up woman and two kids drew people's attention as they frolic in the rain on one side of Colon St. An Ear informer reports that the woman attracted more attention as she kept soaping her thighs with what looked like Tide detergent.

Belmonte told Frederika Rentoy, EPWD chief to mobilize residents along waterways to help in preventing the illegal dumping of garbage in their respective localities. The mayor appealed after he personally saw piles of garbage in one of the major creeks in the city.

Mayor Feliciano Belmonte Jr. said that this would ensure the prevention of any flashfloods, particularly in the Balingasa creek — which covers Barangays Apolonio Samson, Manresa, and Balingasa.


"This clean-up drive at the creek will surely be appreciated once the rainy season starts. It may still be months away, but it is very important we start this project early," Belmonte said.
