BY JUANCHO GALLARDE
Six unidentified suspects robbed a cell shop just before closing time
Tuesday night of P175,000 cash, P100,000 worth of cell cards, and 12 assorted cellphones, and shot the security guard at Noblefranca Street, in Dumaguete City.
The robbers barged into the Kent's Cellphone, Repair Parts and Accessories owned and managed by Kent Lariosa, 35, and his wife Chingky, 10 minutes before 8 p.m., frisked security guard Donald Omoyon, and declared a robbery.
Omoyon said he tried to resist, prompting the suspects
to squeeze the trigger, hitting his back. He is now recuperating at
the Holy Child Hospital.

'Not all trike drivers sell flesh' Dumaguete City Mayor Agustin Perdices said he wants to clarify a publication that quoted him as saying that drivers also sell flesh at the Rizal Boulevard, in Dumaguete. The mayor said only a few drivers seen in front of the Why Not disco at the boulevard, possibly arranging with pimps and allowing their tricycles to be used for a fee. Perdices said that the more than 2,400 tricycle drivers, not even
one percent could be doing that, based on the report of the anti-indecency
board. |

Don't
sell your bonus, Oriental Negros Gov. George Arnaiz appealed to all provincial government employees not to sell their bonus money and to use it for their families. Arnaiz made the appeal Monday during the regular flag-raising ceremony in front of the Capitol as he announced that the employees would get their productivity and enrolment bonuses in May. The governor said many workers tend to sell their bonus even it
is released and then spend the money unwisely. The practice is to
get a lesser amount in advance from someone who will get the full
sum later. |
