LAND ROW
CRUZTELCO offers
P6.4 M in settlement
BY JUANCHO GALLARDE

After almost 10 years of litigation, the Cruz Telephone Company has agreed to negotiate for a settlement with the Oriental Negros government on the ejectment case filed by the province against the company.

In a letter to the province last month, Cruztelco area manager Renato Azanza said the company had signified its intention to negotiate for the payment of the land and to pay the back rentals.

Its proposal is to pay the province the sum of P6,043,712.50 for the real property including the back rentals thereon, from 1985 to the present.

Politics in the 1st Congressional District in Oriental Negros is not dependent on whether or not President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo is supporting who," last-termer Rep. Jacinto Paras said Monday at the Dumaguete Airport while waiting for the arrival of the President.

"We earned it through our own merits," Paras said.

He claimed he as well as his wife, Olive, who is running for the congressional seat in the first district have the support of the President.

"If a dog will run against Dodo Macias, I will support the dog", Bais City Mayor Hector Villanueva said as he expressed his resentment against Rep. Emilio Macias II (2nd Dist. NegOr) for allegedly trying to hinder the distribution of Certificates of Entitlement for Lot Allocations Monday in Bais City.

Villanueva said he believes the motive of Macias was politically tainted.

He added that Macias had claimed that the CELA is illegal because there is a pending bill in Congress concerning the area to be awarded to beneficiaries.
