NORECO
2 loan offer
refusal 'set-up': mayor
SPECIAL ASSEMBLY PUSHED
BY JUANCHO GALLARDE
Dumaguete City Mayor Agustin Perdices Tuesday accused some Negros Oriental 2 Electric Cooperative board members and an unnamed political leader of orchestrating the non-approval of the interest-free P27 million loan offered by the city and provincial governments to NORECO.
"It was a set-up," said Perdices at a Rotary Club forum in Dumaguete City.
Perdices said the refusal was approved by less than only
1,000 votes when the entire cooperative membership is over 24,000, and
with 80,000 connections throughout its coverage area.

Dads
vote today on trike The Dumaguete Sangguniang Panlungsod will vote on Councilor Saleto Erames' repeal measure of City Ordinance No. 88 during its regular session today. This comes in the wake of a snowballing demand from pedicab drivers and operators to scrap the controversial measure that hiked the mayor's permit fee from P27 to P400 and the franchise fee from P460 to P860. Dicen authored the measure which had been returned to its origin by the city council for deficiency. The city, though, has implemented the measure. |

'Delinquent
taxpayers A number of landed individuals in Dumaguete City who failed to pay real property taxes are being compelled to settle their obligations, lest their landholdings will be confiscated or they be exposed as delinquent taxpayers. Provincial treasurer Danilo Mendez said many taxpayers have already settled their obligations, for fear that their properties will be subjected to public auction. He said these taxpayers also did not want to be identified as
tax evaders or delinquent taxpayers. |
