Lato-lato banned in GenSan school

A school in General Santos City has prohibited its students from playing “lato-lato”.

Dadiangas South Central Elementary School banned the popular toy due to noise and dangers it poses, according to a report on BaliTanghali Monday.

The school’s principal likewise conducted a surprise inspection and confiscated the toy products.

For its part, the General Santos City Schools Division supported the institution and urged other principals to take action for the sake of their students.

The Department of Trade and Industry earlier said the sale of the popular toy "lato-lato" should be stopped as it has yet to secure proper documentation from the concerned government agency.—Sundy Locus/LDF, GMA Integrated News
