An "ill-motivated" move carried out by a "sinister clique" - that is what a group of consumers supporting Central Negros Electric Cooperative president, Eddie Guillem, called the suspension of Guillem and four other CENECO officials

The Concerned CENECO Consumers, led by convenor Germale Federico, in their statement of support issued yesterday, said that "the sinister clique is operating within and outside CENECO and conspiring with some National Electrification Administration officials whose ultimate aim is to control (CENECO) for their narrow economic and political ends."

Caucus held on Bacolod
port's rental value

An executive-legislative caucus was held at the Bacolod City Hall Saturday for the City Council to take up the request of the Mayor for authority to file a case for judicial determination of the fair rental value of the management and operation of the Bacolod port.

Mayor Evelio Leonardia, in his letter to the Sangguniang Panlungsod dated March 1, said records will show that the re-negotiation between the city and the Bacolod Real Estate Authority on the matter had failed and that, after a year, the SP has not yet decided on what action to take. Meanwhile, the status quo is not proving to be beneficial to the city, he said and it is for the best interest of the city that they come up with a clear policy direction on the subject, he added.
