ON 2 ‘MISSING’ FARMERS
BY MARICAR ARANAS
The Philippine Army in Negros Oriental yesterday said it welcomes investigations by the Commission on Human Rights or any other government agency on the alleged disappearance of two farmers in Brgy. Talalac, Sta. Catalina town.
In a press statement, the 61st Infantry Battalion under the 302nd Infantry Brigade, said the inquiry in the barangay conducted by Maj. Anastacio Sugaybaguio, on the disappearance of Reynold Yanoc, yielded a negative result.
Sta. Catalina Mayor Ruben Melodia and village officials confirmed that they received no report on the disappearance of two persons in their municipality.
| Establish BADC demo farms Provincial Agriculture Officer Gregorio Paltinca yesterday ordered all agriculture technicians to establish 500-square meter demonstration farms in every Barangay Agricultural Development Center in Negros Oriental. The demo farms will boost the campaign for bio-intensive gardening through organic farming methods, Patinca said. The province has set a target to improve the production of high-value vegetables and fruits, especially with the increasing market demand of organically grown farm products, he added. |
| Provincial dads ok PHINO The Sanggunian Panlalawigan recently approved a resolution creating the Provincial Health Insurance of Negros Oriental, authored by Board Member Marcelo Adanza, chairman of the Committee on Health. Considered as a pet project of Gov. Emilio Macias II, the PHINO was unanimously passed during the regular session of the council at the Provincial Capitol, in Dumaguete City. It is aimed at providing sustainable health insurance for Negrense indigents, Adanza said, adding that even those not covered by PhilHealth Insurance may also avail of the benefit. |
