Forty-two boxes of "imported" pyrotechnics and firecrackers were seized by the Bacolod police in a buy-bust operation at the J.T. Marketing at Luzuriaga Street in Bacolod City at about 3:30 p.m. yesterday.

The Bacolod City Mobile Group led by Chief Insp. Armando Tubongbanua and BCPO Firearms, Explosives Security Agency and Guards Section led by SPO4 Mildred Sanglap, recovered boxes of assorted pyrotechnics and firecrackers worth about P20,000.

Sanglap said they raided the establishment after a police poseur-buyer handed P1,000 in marked money to the cashier and positively identified the pyrotechnics stored in a bodega. moremoremore

Hilmarc to study lowering of price for
government center construction
BY CHRYSEE SAMILLANO

The president of Hilmarc's Construction Corp. said yesterday that they will try to find a way to lower the bid price for the construction of the Bacolod government center without sacrificing the quality of the materials to be used.

Engineer Efren Canlas said they cannot decide on their own and will have to consult first with all the designers involved in the plan.

The HCC representatives were invited yesterday by the Bids and Awards Committee to discuss their comments and observations on the prices of materials.

"These overall figures are generally the same as those recorded in July 2006," it said, referring to an earlier survey. moremoremore
