ruling on graft raps
BY JUANCHO GALLARDE
More than 200 local chief executives throughout the country, at least ten of them from Oriental Negros, are awaiting the findings of anti-graft cases filed against them before the office of the Ombudsman.
Provincial legal officer Erwin Vergara yesterday disclosed
that, those facing graft charges before the Ombudsman are Mayors Rodrigo
Alanano of Dauin, Jonifer Villegas - Vallehermoso, Ernesto Reyes - Guihulngan,
Rodolfo Yee - Bacong, Hector Villanueva - Bais City, with his Vice Mayor
Francisco Villanueva, Mayors Jocelyn Limkaichong of La Libertad, and
German Saraņa (Bayawan City), his Vice Mayor Rene Gaudiel, the entire
Sanggunian Bayan of Bayawan and councilors, and several other barangay
captains in the province.

3-cornered
battle in 1st district Pre-campaign sorties are heating up among congressional bets in the First Congressional District of Oriental Negros where intense political rivalry is expected in the May 14 polls. Vying for the position are Olive Paras, wife of Rep. Jing Paras
(Neg. Or., 1st district) his brother, former congressman Jerome
Paras, and Mayor Jocelyn Limkaichong of La Libertad. Limkaichong
said she considers herself the underdog in the three-cornered fight,
but believes that the more than 18 years of reign by the Parases
is enough, and there should be new breed of leaders to effect a
change. |

NFA
intensifies campaign The National Food Authority in Oriental Negros has intensified its campaign of putting up Tindahan Natin outlets. Gil Ibarra, newly-installed general manager of the NFA, said there are now 160 Tindahan Natin stalls located in different barangays throughout the province. He added that, based on records, NFA rice consumption in the different
outlets is increasing because of the price increase of commercial
rice and corn grits in the market. |
