robbery cases collared
BY JUANCHO GALLARDE

Three teenagers believed responsible for the spate of snatching and robbery incidents in Dumaguete City were arrested by the police on the strength of a warrant of arrest issued by Regional Trial Court Branch 34 Judge Rosendo Bandal Jr.

The suspects were identified as Rolly Beraña, Jesus Gadiane Jr., and Raymund Abines, all of Dumaguete. 

Lani Joy Albina, one of the victims, positively identified them as the ones who robbed her in Cadawinonan in September last year.

talk on rice, insurgency
BY JUANCHO GALLARDE & RENE GENOVE

Rice distribution networking and insurgency matters will be among the pressing issues to be discussed by President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo during her visit today in Dumaguete City and Negros Oriental.

Arroyo, who will attend the 88th birthday celebration of former Rep. Herminio Teves today, is expected to arrive between 9:30 and 10 a.m. at the Dumaguete port, on board the presidential boat “Ang Pangulo,” from the Apo Reef in Palawan.

From the port, she will be flown by helicopter to the Gov. Mariano Perdices Coliseum oval landing zone.

‘Jatropha bio-diesel
cushions global warming’

BY JUANCHO GALLARDE

Former Rep. Herminio Teves (Neg.Occ, 3rd district) yesterday said the country’s concern is to make unproductive lands productive and useful, and at the same time generate employment and cushion the impact of global warming.

Teves said that their decision to go into jatropha bio-diesel fuel production was due to their desire to be catalysts for the improvement of the ecology and alleviation of poverty.

“We are now feeling the effects of global warming and other signs of environmental degradation.  The price of fossil fuel is becoming prohibitive at US $110 per barrel,” he added.
