Heavy rains kill 2 persons,
destroy 35 houses in NegOr
BY JUANCHO GALLARDE

At least two people were reported dead while 35 houses were destroyed as heavy rains continued to flood parts of Oriental Negros for almost a week now.

Police reports reaching Camp Fernandez in Agan-an, Sibulan town on Thursday, said the bodies of a woman and a teenaged boy were recovered in Pamplona and in Mabinay towns.

Sofronio Montecino, 17, of Barangay Manlingay, Mabinay was believed to have been swept by strong currents while he was fishing along the Ilog River in the barangay on Wednesday afternoon. Farmers and policemen in the town recovered his body at around 4 p.m. Thursday, a police report said.

NORFA XI battles
NCR for PFF title

Two goals in each half and a resolute defense yesterday ensured Negros Oriental F.A.'s first finals appearance in the PFF-National Women's Open Championships at the slippery Silliman University pitch in Dumaguete City.

Getting goals from four different players, the hosts shut out Cebu, 4-0, to claim the first championship slot.

Negros Oriental collides with National Capital Region, which dethroned defending champion Davao with a 3-1 penalty shootout victory, after normal and extra time ended at 1-all. Strikers Rodelyn Calbog and Ruthel Tolentino, defender Jissey Estosota and Jessica Moldez found the back of the net on a day when poor field condition hampered the attacking form of both teams.

Business sector backs PNP

The business sector is willing to extend support to the police in curbing criminality provided the law enforcers show results.

With the launching of the provincewide campaign against all forms of criminality, criminals will have to think twice, Alex Sy, president of the Filipino-Chamber of Commerce and Industry said.

Sy had joined local officials in the parade and ceremony at the Lamberto Macias Sports Complex on Thursday. He said the community is expecting results with justice given to the victims when crimes are committed.
