BY ROMY AMARADO
The Dumaguete City council has created a multi-sectoral group to formulate policies and plans to prevent and control the spread of sexually transmitted diseases.
The Dumaguete City Multi-Sectoral STI/HIV Council for the Prevention and Control of Sexually Transmitted Diseases was created by a city ordinance, authored by Councilor Noel de Jesus.
The council is also directed to identify and prioritize related activities, De Jesus said. 
| ‘Crisis committee sole The Philippine National Police reiterated yesterday it will only take orders from the Dumaguete City Crisis Committee, after insinuations and reports reached Camp Crame in Quezon City, saying that the police is not doing its job in addressing violent activities at the city port. In his meeting with Mayor Agustin Perdices yesterday, PNP regional director Chief Supt. Ronald Roderos assured the mayor that ground commanders of the PNP will not just accept orders from anybody else in keeping the peace at the port area. |
