Woman
found dead; Valentine's Day turned violent for an aging couple from Brgy. Manseje, Bindoy, Oriental Negros. On that day, the body of a 62-year-old woman was found and less than an hours later, her husband tried to kill himself but was stopped by his young adopted son. Police identified the couple as Juanito and Epifania Acebes. Juanito's brother, Flaviano, said he found Epifania's body by
a cliff. He became apprehensive as she had been missing since the
day before, and Juanito had told him she had left but did not say
where she was going. |

Bindoy
watershed restricted Bindoy Mayor Valente Yap has prohibited any anti-environmental activities at the Anolod watershed that supplies the water needs of at least eight barangays in the town. Yap stressed the need to protect the watershed to avoid experiences that have ravaged the area and threatened the water system of the place. He cited the drying-off of Lake Mantahaw many years ago by treasure
hunters who wanted to dig at its bed. |
