The owners of the Boro-Boro Springs in Brgy. Alangilan, Bacolod City are amenable to discuss a possible settlement with the Bacolod City Water District, their lawyer Romeo Natino said yesterday.

Baciwa had filed an injunction case on Jan. 10 against Edmundo Sausi and children so its personnel could enter the property to inspect their facilities after receiving reports on Jan. 8 that Spring No. 2 was sabotaged and its water diverted.

Baciwa personnel were only able to enter the area on Jan. 13 after the Regional Trial Court issued the temporary restraining order sought by Baciwa against the owners. The TRO is effective for 20 days.

More call centers
eyeing Bacolod

Another US-based call center is eyeing Bacolod City as a possible site, Bacolod Councilor Jocelle Batapa-Sigue said Friday.

Batapa-Sigue said the call center is interested to locate to Bacolod City although its representatives do not want to reveal yet the name of their company. She said last Friday, the group visited some of the schools and did random interviews with college students.

Batapa-Sigue said the group was impressed and for them it was something that made a difference in their decision. They said our students were quite shy but they were good in English, she said. "Although we have nice buildings and sites, their concern was our fluency in English," she added.
