CLO orders closure of
insurance company
FIRM LACKS PERMIT FROM SEC, MAYOR
BY JUANCHO GALLARDE

The City Legal Office ordered the closure of an insurance company operating in Dumaguete City without mayor's permit and authority from the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Neil Ray Lagahit, city legal officer, said a notice of closure order will be immediately issued against Phil-Asia, which was given five days to voluntarily padlock its office.

Lagahit said it is the policy of the city government to require insurance companies to present certification of good standing from the SEC, before it is issued a mayor's permit. Clients of Phil-Asia Care Plans Inc. in Dumaguete and Oriental Negros were advised to file necessary civil action if they intend to recover their investments, the CLO said.

awareness lectures

Bomb experts from the Explosive Ordnance Division of the Philippine National Police have started a series of lectures on bomb awareness in all police stations, business houses, and schools throughout the province.

SPO4 Hilbert Arinaza, police provincial intelligence unit chief, said the lectures aim to make participants aware of the danger posed by explosives and what to do in case of emergencies. Arinaza said the information drive is only part of the ongoing campaign of the PNP to strengthen security measures in places vulnerable to terroristic activities.

He said the PNP has intensified security measures in bus terminals and seaports throughout the province.

BY RENE GENOVE

Finance Secretary Margarito Teves is in the list of candidates for the 2006 Most Outstanding Negrense awards to be given during the 2006 Buglasan Festival of Festivals in October.

The Sangguniang Panlalawigan recommended Teves to Gov. George Arnaiz through a resolution sponsored by Board Member Ernesto Tijing of the 3rd District and unanimously approved by the SP in their recent session.

The resolution cited Secretary Teves, son of Rep. Herminio Teves (3rd District, Oriental Neg.) as a pride of the Negrenses for his contribution not only to the province but to the whole country.
