Two 'terrorists'
ordered released

The two brothers who had been arrested on suspicion of being terrorist dissidents were ordered released Monday by the Regional Trial Court Branch 41, following the recommendation of the City Prosecutors' Office in Dumaguete City, Oriental Negros.

Presiding Judge Araceli Alafriz of RTC Branch 41issued the release order dated Jan. 16 to Daniel and Editho Bubila, residents of Kabasalan, Sibulay, Zamboanga del Sur, who had been charged with illegal possession of incendiary device, punishable under Republic Act 1866. Upon perusal of city prosecutor Ma. Angelita Alcoran's findings, Judge Alafriz said there is no cause of action against both accused, as the items seized from them by the security escorts of Super Ferry 2 vessel yielded negative to the tests for the presence of explosive ingredients.

DLR launches Larena ARC

The Department of Land Reform recently launched the 6th Agrarian Reform Community in Siquijor province in simple rites at the Dionaldo Building, Larena, Siquijor.

The new ARC is composed of 34 barangays, 19 of these are in the town of Larena, 12 in Enrique Villanueva, and three in Maria, covering a total area of 7,300 hectares with a total population of 15.249, a DLR press release said. This area will benefit from the five-year Agrarian Reform Community Development Plan formulated by community leaders in coordination with the local government units, people's organizations and the DLR, the press release said.

Dog bite cases down
last year, CVO says

Cases of dog bites in Dumaguete City, Oriental Negros, went down from 149 recorded in 2004 to 142 last year.

City veterinarian Dr. Lourdes Socorro attributed the decline to the public's continuing consciousness against being bitten by dogs and she hoped the incident would continue to go down this year.

Socorro said she was happy that aside from the reduced number of dog bites, road accidents involving stray dogs also went down to only 12 last year.
