Now a cleaner beach

Rubbish attack … Residents of Baranggay Parang, in Mambulao, CamNorte, have joined forces to spruce up the shoreline. This has been a regular activity since the beach made its debut as a beach fit for strolling and bathing as well. The locals, specially the shoreline residents, are now part of the clean-up brigade recently formed by Baranggay chairman Willie Relao. The resurrection of Parang Beach was big news for all Mambulaoans, especially the OFWs, who are now eager to see the beach of their childhood. The development of the beach into another tourist destination is one of the tourism programs being pursued by the local government under the supervision of Councilor Artem Andaya, who was named Mambulao’s “tourism tzar” by Mayor Ricarte “Dong” Padilla. – Photo courtesy of WILLIE RELAO/Facebook
