Capitol
to look into
unpaid Paglaum bills
BY CHRISTIAN IRL TAN
The Provincial Government of Negros Occidental is looking into the unpaid bills of the Paglaum Sports Complex to the Bacolod City Water District that amounts to P215,703.77, and to the Central Negros Electric Cooperative of P381,419.99, incurred from 1990 to 1995, vice-gov. Isidro Zayco said yesterday.
The PSC, the water supply and electricity of which were disconnected after the SEAGames in November and December last year, is the training venue for the Negros contingent in the Western Visayas Regional Athletics Association Meet in Roxas City, Capiz next month.
With the problem on the unpaid bills, the practices of
the Negros athletes aiming to retain the overall championship of the
regional meet have been hampered because of the inconvenience, coaches
said.

Also joining the team are ex-RP XI mainstays Ali Bernard Rojas,
veteran striker Reydric Viliran and Ziggy Tonog. Pasinabo, Rojas

opposes POC proposal Bacolod Rep. Monico Puentevella yesterday said he is not amenable to the proposal of Philippine Olympic Committee president Jose "Peping" Cojuangco to allow the country's new cage body to retain the name of Basketball Association of the Philippines. Puentevella, who is the vice-president of the POC, however, said
that he agrees with Cojuangco that only Joey Lina, president of
the old BAP, will be retained as a member of the Philippines' new
basketball body from the old set of officers. "I totally agree with
Peping's decision (on keeping Joey Lina), but I have my own reservations
when it comes to still name the new basketball body as BAP," Puentevella
told the DAILY STAR. |
