BY
JUANCHO GALLARDE & MARICAR ARANAS
A woman was killed and another was injured when a landslide hit the quarry area where they were working in Barangay Pinalubngan, Tayasan town, in northern Negros Oriental, Monday.
A belated police report yesterday identified the victims as Emie Sabanal, 35, who died in the landslide, and Antonio Tanilon, 49, married, of Sitio Bangcol, Pinalubngan, who is still recuperating at the Negros Oriental Provincial Hospital in Dumaguete City. The incident was blamed on the heavy rains that inundated some areas of the province in the past week.
Interviewed at the hospital by the police, Tanilon said that he and 14 other people,
including Sabanal, were working Monday morning at a quarry site at Sitio Cansaluning,
Barangay Pinalubngan, when the landslide took place. 
| Woman
gets life for drugs A woman was sentenced to life imprisonment yesterday by the Regional Trial Court for violating the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002, at the Hall of Justice, Barangay Piapi, Dumaguete City. Marsha Azores Caday, of Barangay Looc, Dumaguete, was found guilty beyond reasonable doubt of possessing 13 heat-sealed transparent sachets containing 27.91 grams of shabu, seized during a raid at her residence in August, 2005. RTC Branch 30 Judge Crescencio Tan Jr. also ordered Caday to pay a fine of P450,000.
Court records show that on March 18, 2005, police operatives saw John Ray Tan
and Melanie Diez standing and talking with each other and noted that Caday holding
a transparent sachet of shabu and Tan was holding a bamboo clip with an empty
plastic sachet. Both suspects were brought to the Dumaguete City Police Station
for investigation, along with the seized items. |
