Rugby boys, girls near 'Lapu police station

September 13, 2010 | 12:00am

YOUNG ADDICTS. A local tourist visited Opon recently and was very shocked to see very young boys and girls, some ages 7 or 8, sniffing rugby. What was worse, she said, was that the police station was just a few meters away. She said, “Haven’t they seen those acts? Nakakapangilabot tingnan!”

ACT ASAP. The local tourist is appealing to the local police and politicians to immediately act on this problem. She said, “Do something while it’s not too late. Nakakaawa ang kinabukasan ng mga kabataang ito.”
