COUNTERING THE FLU -- City mayor Reinaldo Bautista Jr., councilor Erdolfo Balajadia, health and school officials, and Girl Scouts of the Philippines lead in the hand washing campaign that kicked off at SM City Baguio and was held simultaneously in all SM malls across the country last Wednesday. The activity was to draw awareness on the importance of personal hygiene and cleanliness in combating the dreaded Influenza A H1N1 virus which, when matched with having the right information and proper health care, are the best lines of defense.

City officials last week fiercely denied applying for lots and receiving lot donations from the tracts of lands within the Forbes Park forest reservation recently issued Certificates of Ancestral Land Title (CALTs).



Mayor Reinaldo Bautista Jr. Thursday brushed off said allegation broached by the Linis Gobyerno anti-graft entity as plain rumor.
