Upland
folk stage
peace caravans
BY GILBERT BAYORAN
Anti-communist groups whose members are victims of rebel atrocities, also marked the 37th founding anniversary of the New People's Army on March 29 by holding a peace caravan in Vallehermoso and Guihulngan towns in Oriental Negros, which was participated in by about 1,000 people, the military said.
The peace caravan also coincided with the launching of the 303rd Infantry Brigade's "Oplan Kingfisher", which is aimed at dismantling existing guerilla fronts of the New People's Army in Negros.
Lt. Col. Jess Manangquil, 11th Infantry Battalion commander,
yesterday said the peace caravan participants, majority of whom came
from the upland barangays of San Carlos City, Negros Occidental and
Guihulngan and Vallehermoso in Oriental Negros, have again denounced
the atrocities committed by the New People's Army in Negros island.

Battery-operated
motorcycles The Dumaguete City Land Transportation Office will not register battery-operated motorcycles, unless its central office issues guidelines, local LTO chief Ely Cabanag said. Cabanag disclosed that a local motorcycle dealer came to his office to inquire if his units can be registered with the LTO. He, however, said that, in the absence of guidelines and directives
from their national office, such motorcycles run the risk of being
flagged down for violating existing rules. |
