The city government of Dagupan in Pangasinan has taken on the role of a fish sanctuary, adopting crates upon crates of homeless bangus.
Mayor Belen Fernandez defended the move, expressing her government’s inability to stomach seeing Dagupan’s beloved bangus roaming the streets aimlessly.
The decision came after a social media post advertised homeless bangus for sale. Mayor Belen assured concerned citizens that the homeless milkfish would be housed in refrigerated warehouses until the upcoming bangus festival, where they’ll hopefully find sanctuary in proper home kitchens or festival grills.
Critics, however, are left wondering if the fish are receiving better treatment than the city’s human inhabitants.
In a bizarre turn of events, Davao City Mayor Baste Duterte has expressed grave concern over the soaring prices of illegal drugs in his jurisdiction. In a statement that left many scratching their heads, Mayor Duterte lamented, “It is not fair that while drug prices and those of other basic commodities are on a downward trend, Davao City’s are on the rise.” The mayor’s unexpected sympathy for drug dealers and users has sparked speculation about the city’s economic policies and law enforcement strategies. Critics are quick to point out the irony of a city known for its tough stance on drugs now grappling with exorbitant prices in the black market.
Meanwhile, citizens are left wondering if this newfound concern will lead to innovative solutions or simply more head-scratching moments from City Hall.
