CEBU CITY – No guts, no cash.
Such was the case for a 26-year-old man in Lapu-Lapu City who received P10,000 for being the oldest individual who was circumcised during the “Operasyon Libreng Tuli” (Operation Free Circumcision) in Lapu-Lapu City on Friday, June 21.
Lapu-Lapu Mayor Junard “Ahong” Chan identified the man as a certain Alfredo Jr., a resident of Barangay Basak, Lapu-Lapu.
Chan handed the P10,000 cash to Alfredo, who was among the 1,350 individuals who availed of the free circumcision spearheaded by volunteer schools and the Department of Health-Central Visayas.
“Pagka-swerte ni Alfredo. Na-ulitawo na gani, naka-P10,000 pa gyud! (Alfredo is very lucky. Aside from becoming a real man, he also got P10,000!),” Chan said.
Chan said Binibining Lapu-Lapu 2023 Cheron Kisses Co was also there to assist Alfredo during the circumcision.
Free ice cream and burgers were given to those who were circumcised at the Hoops Dome in Barangay Gun-ob, Lapu-Lapu.
With the theme “Transforming lives, one cut at a time,” the city government started the free circumcision last June 14.
Another Operation Tuli will be held on June 28 in nine areas in the city. (Calvin Cordova /mb)
