A BACKHOE is hauling heaps of garbage from the trash-clogged Bitan-ag creek along CM Recto Avenue in Barangay Lapasan on October 11, 2019.

The "Hapsay Sapa" team, led by Patrick Gabutina, in coordination with the village officials conducted the regular clean-up and declogging of the creek to prevent urban flooding in the area during heavy downpour. (Photo courtesy of Hapsay Sapa)
