Movement lauds vice mayors
for opposing Tañon oil drilling
The Save Tañon Strait Citizens Movement yesterday lauded the Vice Mayors League in Negros Oriental for passing a resolution opposing any extension of oil drilling or any oil exploitation at the protected seascape of Tañon Strait.
This is a “tipping point” in the citizens’ campaign to stop the oil hunt at the Tañon Strait Protected Seascape, the group said in a statement, about the resolution passed by the League recently.
Vince Cinches of the STSCM said the resolution is commendable and was not passed through patronage and corruption. The group also lauded the collective opposition by local government officials, including the proponent, Bindoy Vice Mayor Valente Yap.
| Legislative offices inaugurated The P12.15-million legislative building of Negros Oriental was inaugurated recently in rites led by Gov. Emilio Macias II, Vice Gov. Jose Baldado and members of the Provincial Board. The structure will house the offices of the three representatives of the province, the Vice Governor and Provincial Board Members and records staff, and the Sangguniang Panlalawigan Session Hall. Macias thanked former governor, now Rep. George Arnaiz (NegOr, 2nd district), for initiating the project, whose construction had been delayed by budget constraints. |
| 2 drug suspects nabbed Two drug suspects were collared by Task Force 24 operatives in a buy-bust operation about 11 a.m. Wednesday in Barangay Poblacion 2, Lukewright Street, Dumaguete City. Seized from suspects Jerry Alviola and Rogin Indoso, both of legal age and residents of the barangay, were three sachets believed to contain shabu. National Bureau of Investigation agent Mike Dungog said Alviola had been under surveillance for selling illegal drugs, while Indoso is believed to be a drug user and thief. |
