BY ROMY AMARADO

Valencia , Negros Oriental, is offering a bounty for the arrest and prosecution of “serial” killers of cows in the town, Mayor Rodolfo Gonzales said.

Gonzales said a P10,000 cash reward will be given to any person who will give information leading to the apprehension of the suspects in the slaughter of the animals.

Three cows in the town have been killed by unidentified culprits, while being grazed by their owners in the past months, Gonzales said.

A grenade blast blew off a house made of bamboo, Wednesday evening, in Sitio Bangkal, Brgy. Old Namangka, Mabinay, Negros Oriental.

The police said yesterday that the owner, Domeciano Escribano, 52, a farmer survived the blast.

Investigation revealed that at about 8 p.m. Wednesday, Escribano was alone in his house fixing his flashlight when he noticed that his dog was barking furiously, prompting him to put out his kerosene lamp and check outside his house.

Escribano said he noticed a strong thud caused by an object that hit the outer wall of his house, followed by an explosion that shattered his bamboo house. He said he then heard two successive bursts of gunfire and went to his son's house nearby.

Give clothing allowance directly
BY ROMY AMARADO

Board Member Leah Ga Bromo said Thursday she wants the P4,000 clothing allowance released to Negros Oriental government Capitol employees immediately, not in July.

Bromo, in the regular of the Sangguniang Panlalawigan, said the employees need the money and it should be given to them directly, otherwise, money making could happen.

“I don't want that somebody to earn a commission on this,” she said.
