The front and rear sides of the vehicle were also filled with garbage.
“Reminder to car owners: Please make sure you do not park in areas designated by barangays for trash pick-up,” the Baguio City SP said on Facebook. The post has amassed 34,000 laugh reactions, 4,000 shares and over 300 comments so far. The picture was initially posted on Barangay Pinget ‘s Facebook page on May 22.
It was captioned with an ellipsis and a gold trophy emoji. In another Facebook post, the barangay said it conducted its “KALINISAN” activity with residents, volunteers and barangay officials on the 20th week. “KALINISAN” stands for “Kalinga at Inisyatiba para sa Malinis na Bayan.
