Negros pugs waiting
for mayors' incentives
MANILA --- Two Negrense boxers who won gold medals in the 23rd Southeast Asian Games in Bacolod City said Saturday they are still waiting for the incentives promised by two city mayors after their triumph in the biennial meet last year.
Talisay City-born pug Joan Tipon, the SEA Games bantamweight champion, said he and pinweight gold medalist Juanito Magliquian have yet to receive the P20,000 incentive committed by Mayor Anthony Lizares.
Lady boxer Mitchel Martinez, who hails from Pulupandan
before moving to Bacolod in the 1990s, said she is waiting word from
the Bacolod Mayor's Office as to when she will get her bonus promised
her by Mayor Evelio Leonardia.
