Study effects of cityhood
requirements, Lina urges
BY JUANCHO GALLARDE
Former Interior and Local Government Secretary Jose Lina Jr. said he is not in favor of amending provisions of the Local Government Code, particularly on the proposed creation of cities.
Lina, who was the guest of honor at the launching of the Character First Movement held at the Bethel Guesthouse in Dumaguete City recently, said the House of Representatives has not yet made a study on the effects of the amendment on provincial governments, and small municipalities.
Newly created cities will no longer share their real property taxes with the provincial government, after their conversion into component cities, he pointed out. 
| PhilHealth The PhilHealth Central Visayas office will give away P50,000 in cash and gift items, in celebration of its 13th anniversary this year. Its branch in Dumaguete City re-launched recently the Member-Get-Member promo where prizes are up for members who can recruit the most number of individuals into the PhilHealth's Individually-Paying Program, from January 1 to September 30. Each calendar quarter, the top three recruiters will take home cash prizes, while another 10 will be given gift items from PhilHealth, Maritess Que, chief social insurance officer of the PhilHealth in Dumaguete, said. |
| Cold storage facility Installation of P800,000 cold storage facility in City fish terminal The Department of Agriculture will install a 20-footer double chamber cold storage facility at the Dumaguete Fish Terminal next month, Market Enterprise chief Jose Ronnie Fortin said. He said the P800,000 storage facility was given through a grant from the DA, whose representatives visited the city recently, to finalize the requirements for the installation. |
