BAGUIO CITY — All eyes were on Patrolman Elyson Sarmiento, hours before this year’s Baguio Flower Festival parade started on Session Road here last weekend.
Simulating what airline attendants or cabin crew do to demonstrate safety tips on a flight, Sarmiento pulled out a backpack and showed how it should be strapped around the chest to protect personal belongings.
“Embrace your bag like it is your ‘forever,’” Cpl. Brishelle Balinte, using the sound system of a patrol car, said in Filipino, drawing laughter from the crowd.
