NOT AGAIN? The Ear again heard of the same modus operandi reported to The Ear yesterday about people who board jeepneys asking money from passengers to supposedly "help" the disabled buy wheelchairs. The informer said that this has been happening everyday this week. "Nahitabo sab ni last year. Morag ni-take advantage ni sila sa daghang tawo sa Sinulog."

The city government rounded up 96 mendicants and street people-36 of them juveniles-from the Fuente Osmeña area the other night, as part of its campaign against mendicancy and rid the streets of these people.


Rezza Boy Omega, information officer of the Office of the Mayor, said the city conducted the operation, or what it termed as "rescue", of street people in compliance with Presidential Decree 1563, which calls for an integrated system to control and eradicate mendicancy.
