NegOr farmers score

BY RENE GENOVE

Members of the Negros Farmers Council met with Provincial Agrarian Reform Officer Grace Fua Tuesday, about their opposition to Department of Agrarian Reform Secretary, Nasser Pangandaman's reversal of a decision made by then Secretary Ernesto Garilao on case involving Don Gaspar Vicente Inc.

The group who held a three-day camp-in in front of the DAR Office, in Barangay Bantayan, Dumaguete City cited the act of Pangandaman in lifting the Notice of Coverage, and granting DGVI its application for land conversion.

The Integrated Provincial Health Office in Dumaguete City will construct a P4.5-million water treatment facility this year, and his office is now looking for an additional P2.5 million, Provincial Health Officer Dante Domingo said yesterday.

“We have to construct the facility within this year, otherwise, we will be jailed,” Domingo said in jest.

Community Environment and Natural Resources Officer Charlie Fabre said all establishments, including hospitals have to set up water treatment facility to ensure that their liquid wastes are sanitized before being thrown out to the canal en route to the sea.

BY JUANCHO GALLARDE

The province of Negros Oriental is in need of medico-legal doctors, sketch artists, pathologists and polygraph examiners, National Bureau of Investigation chief Dominador Cimafranca said.

Cimafranca raised the concern at a forum of the Metro Dumaguete Peace Advocates, Tuesday, held at the press club building, Rizal Boulevard , Dumaguete City .

He said this request has fallen on deaf ears, despite the rising incidents that need their expertise.
