Striking porters comply
with restraining order
BY RENE GENOVE, JUANCHO GALLARDE
AND MARICAR ARANAS
Police authorities broke the picket line blocking entrance and exit at the port of Dumaguete City Saturday, in compliance with the Temporary Restraining Order issued by the National Labor Relations Commission in Cebu.
The NLRC Fourth Division in Cebu has issued a 20-day temporary restraining order to prevent the strikers from obstructing a public street, and effectively denying free ingress to and egress from the port premises.
The petitioners, which included the Prudential Customs Brokerage Services Inc., said that since assuming the cargo handling operations, the Dumaguete Port Workers Multi-Purpose Cooperative had continually coerced and intimidated them with actual and threatened violence, effectively denying them entry to the port.
| Court acquits The Regional Trial Court has acquitted a suspect charged with three offenses “out of respect for his rights.” Presiding Judge Crescencio Tan Jr. of the RTC Branch 30 said he has no other recourse but to acquit Ernesto Sonjaco of charges of illegal possession of shabu paraphernalia, firearms and ammunition as the evidence gathered against him was rendered inadmissible in court for being “fruits of a poisonous tree. Tan said he discovered a very glaring violation of the constitutional guarantee against unreasonable arrest and illegal searches conducted in the residence of Sonjaco, more than two years ago in West Balabag, Valencia, Negros Oriental. |
