By: Angelica UyA 5-year-old innocent girl was shot dead by an unidentified riding-in-tandem in Mayombo, Dagupan on August 23.
Three days after her grandfather, Maximo Garcia, surrendered to the police, after knowing that he was on the drug watchlist, the gunmen opened fire at their home at 12:30 p.m. Unfortunately, Danica Garcia, the granddaughter of Garcia, was hit in the head by a bullet intended for Mr.Garcia. Danica was rushed to the hospital but later died. Her grandfather has a bullet wound on his stomach yet survived. Chief Neil Miro, Dagupan police chief said that they have a witness that will identify the gunmen but, for some reasons, they will withhold the name of the suspect. They are still investigating the real motive, but they believe that the attack has something to do with the grandfather's drug activities.

by Angelica UyAlaminos City will no longer be producing ‘bangus’ (milkfish) to protect its tourism industry, specifically the Pangasinan’s prime tourist destination, the Hundred Islands National Park.
Mayor Arturo Celeste of Alaminos City, said that the commercial feeds used in culturing bangus had polluted the seas, so instead of bangus they will rather culture tulya (oysters) and tahong (mussels), the so-called janitors of the sea which clean the marine ecosystem. The shutdown of the milkfish industry will serve as a great help to prevent contaminating the waters of the said tourist spot and might not influence the province’s bangus industry. However, about 50 fish pens located at Mona, Tanaytay and Cayacay will be affected. High price of the alternative culture’s commercial feeds is expected, but some fishpen owners were willing to sacrifice their fishpen to Celeste’s decision, in protection of the Hundred Islands National Park. |
