Fake money circulating in Bani reported 

IN a bid to thwart circulation of fake money bills in the town, a fake money detector scanner was installed at the wet section of the town’s market after the   Bani local government received that some local vendors were paid with  fraudulent bills by still unidentified persons.

An investigation is ongoing to determine if any of the victimized vendors can recognize any of the persons that paid with fake bills. The police cautioned vendors, local traders and other owners of businesses to carefully examine the money they are being paid with and asked them to report the passing off of fake bills immediately so the suspects can be tracked.

Christmas celebration peaceful, orderly in Pangasinan 

THE celebration of Christmas in Pangasinan this year, the first after two years of the pandemic, was peaceful and orderly.

In a survey conducted by iFM Dagupan, people said the traditional merry-making on Christmas that the Filipinos are noted for, i.e., packed churches for the Misa de Gallo, reunions of families, exchange of gifts, Christmas parties and others.

The “pailaws” in every town and city are back as nightly sensations during the entire Christmas season.

However, more adults and elderlies were still apprehensive about the possible spread of  COVID-19 virus in big gatherings and during Christmas parties, aware that a surge in  pandemic had returned in other countries, like China. (Jon Caranto)
