IN WESTERN UNION HEIST
Cops still facing blank wall
The Philippine National Police in Dumaguete City is still facing a blank wall on the broad daylight robbery of the RCPI Western Union money transfer office at Gov. Mariano Perdices Street, Dumaguete Monday.
Hot pursuit operations proved futile and no identification of the suspects has resulted although security guard Joey Salcedo had pinpointed two characters in the rogue's gallery of the city police office.
The unidentified culprits carted away about P150,000
in cash, and jewelry items of employees.

P53,000
for mentally-ill patients About P53,000 intended for the food subsistence of mentally-ill patients at the Talay Rehabilitation Center was reported stolen from the dietary services office of the Negros Oriental Provincial Hospital Sunday night or early Monday. Police investigations showed that the culprit must have been sure that the cash was in one of the drawers of the steel cabinet, because the other shelves were untouched. Sabrina Fuentes, assistant head of the NOPH dietary services,
said the amount was for the purchase of milk, viands and other needs
of the Talay patients for the fourth quarter of this year. . |

First
mover incentive The Dumaguete City Sanggunian will discuss this week a proposal to grant a first-mover incentive for the first call center to open in the city. The incentive will give the first call center to operate in the city a three-year breathing space without competition from similar businesses. Mayor Agustin Perdices said he expects the proposed ordinance
not to specify any company, and that the first-comer will automatically
benefit from the business for the next three years. |
