Overpass
warning signs
road hazard -- motorists
The president of the Silliman University Alumni Association has echoed the complaint of motorists and pedestrians against the huge warning signs at the overpass undergoing construction, in front of the SU high school and elementary campus, at Hibbard Avenue in Dumaguete City, Oriental Negros.
Regional Trial Court Judge Candelario Gonzales Jr., the alumni head, said the signs do not serve any purpose, as they would cause motorists and pedestrians to look upwards and lead to traffic accidents.
He suggested that a net be placed to prevent the public
from looking at the signs. He also said the contractor should consider
other safety measures instead of the signs.

policemen The Philippine National Red Cross collected more than 40 bags of blood from members of the Philippine National Police in Oriental Negros in a blood-letting activity held yesterday in Aga-an, Sibulan town. The activity was part of the yearly "Dugo Para sa Bayan" program of the provincial police to mark the Philippine National Police Day scheduled Thursday next week. Police provincial director, Senior Supt. Melvin Ramon Buenafe,
who led the blood donors encouraged Negrenses to also donate their
blood to the Red Cross. |

60
easy-ride operators About 60 easy-ride operators from Bacong town, Oriental Negros have reiterated their request to be allowed entry into the streets of Dumaguete City. Bacong Mayor Rudolfo Yee and a Sangguniang Bayan Member presented
their request to allow public utility jeepneys from Bacong to unload
passengers along Sta. Rosa Street in the city to Dumaguete Traffic
Management officer Paulino Honculada. Honculada, however, said granting
the request would set a precedent to other transport groups in the
province. But he added that he will submit Yee's request to the
Traffic Regulatory Board of the city government for consideration.
