'E-campaigning
ineffective: Comelec exec
BY RENE GENOVE

Provincial election supervisor Manuel Advincula said he sees E-campaigning as an ineffective tool compared to political rallies where the public can personally listen to candidates.

Aside from its economic advantages, Advincula said he does not see any other benefits from the e-campaign compared to posters and flyers where the public can always identify the candidates. "People use the Internet mostly for chats and text messages sent containing campaign agenda are more likely irritating to the subscribers," he said.

The Commission on Elections Office in Oriental Negros has not received any memorandum or notice from its national office pertaining to E-campaigning, Advincula said.

LTO-Bayawan office opens

A new extension office of the Land Transportation Office was inaugurated Saturday in the Poblacion area of Bayawan City, Oriental Negros.

Bayawan Mayor German Saraña described the new LTO building as a dream-come-true for the city government and the LTO.

He said statistics show that LTO Bayawan has a large number of registration compared to Dumaguete City. The LTO Bayawan City is also serving the nearby municipalities of Negros Occidental. Saraña said he is challenging the LTO officials to make LTO Bayawan a district office.
