Nasty beach reef … Two kids find a grand time
picking up small shells on the beach sand of Baranggay Pag-asa in Mambulao,
CamNorte. The beach has become popular among overseas Mambulaoans who are
unwilling to take the troubles of boating to a famous island-resort called
Kalalanay Island off the coast of Larap. Visitors, however, have complained of
the many sharp-edged reef stones scattered across the bottom in the shallow bay
water. Sometime last year, the Mambulao government worked to collect much of
the reef stones in an effort to improve the swimming quality of the water. Many
rocks are still waiting to be hauled off the bottom of the beach waters. The
baranggay council who looks after the beach is reportedly raising funds from the beach entrance fees for
the clearing of the “tihim-bato” all over the
beach water area. – Text by APHERNANDEZ /photo courtesy of JHUN REUYAN/MetroM
