PCA orders moratorium
on cutting of coco trees
BY MARICAR ARANAS
The Philippine Coconut Authority in Negros Oriental issued a moratorium to all coconut lumber dealers, to stop cutting coconut trees starting March 10 this year, under the provision of Republic Act 8048 or the Coconut Preservation Act.
National administrator Oscar Garin of the PCA sent memorandum notices to all PCA provincial offices, canceling all issuances of cutting permits.
PCA manager Brendan Trasmonte said the moratorium will be strictly enforced and those found violating it will be penalized. 
| P30-M dressing plant Dumaguete officials are planning to acquire a complete dressing plant facility worth P30 million for the city slaughterhouse through a grant from a funding agency, or through a firm, for a possible build-operate-transfer scheme. Chief Jose Ronnie Fortin of the Market Enterprise said, all documents needed are being processed as part of the grant requirements. Nothing is fixed yet, though, until a memorandum of agreement will be signed by Mayor Agustin Perdices, Fortin said. |
| Breast cancer awareness The Cancer Support Group in Negros Oriental will hold a Mini Cancer Fair in Mabinay, Negros Oriental, on March 9 and in Sta. Catalina on March 29, organizers said. The project is in line with the Breast Cancer Awareness Campaign nationwide. There will be free breast consultation and a conference with different women organizations, in order to help increase breast cancer awareness. |
