Swimming naked in floodwaters?

SWIMMING IN FLOODWATERS. A Cebuano resident in Southern California said in an e-mail to his brod in Cebu that he saw on TV some Pinays swimming naked in the floodwaters somewhere outside Manila. He said the TV network that carried the footage was a Middle East outfit. There was no mention of the nationality of the women but the TV reporter said he was covering the flood “somewhere outside Manila.”

COMPLAINT. The Cebuano informer said a neighbor of his called up the TV outfit to register his complaint not necessarily as a Filipino but as a TV viewer against indecency. But he got no answer.
