COLOMBIAN GOES BERSERK IN LAPU

A FEMALE Colombian tourist was arrested for allegedly going berserk in a beach resort in barangay Marigondon, Lapu-Lapu City.

Paula Cardona was accused of destroying the things inside her room at Pado Beach Resort where she had been staying for 11 days before the incident happened yesterday morning.

Cardona complained to the resort management that she didn’t like the resort’s tablecloths.

The woman allegedly ripped off the tablecloths and was reprimanded by Resort manager Jasper Amores Bulgar.

Bulgar told the guest that they appreciated her suggestion of having the tablecloths changed but she had no right to implement her suggestions.

After being reprimanded, the woman went to her room.

Inside the room, Cardona allegedly smashed the glass windows and destroyed the door.

The management then called the police.

Damage in the hotel was not immediately determined.

PO1 Alfredo Olinares of the Marigondon police station Cardona will be charged for malicious mischief./UP INTERN VICTOR ANTHONY V. SILVA
