‘Dumaguete dumpsite to
face space problem’
BY JUANCHO GALLARDE
The Dumaguete City Ecological Park dumpsite, a Galing Pook national awardee, turned 11 years old on May 1, but is facing a problem of space with 30 to 40 tons of garbage brought daily to the area.
Environment and Natural Resources Officer Rolly Clamonte’s assessment disclosed that the controlled dumpsite may not be able to last for more than two years.
It is for this reason that upon instructions of Mayor Agustin Perdices, that in the last five to 10 years composted garbage is being removed from the dumpsite and used as fill-back materials in areas where it is needed, one of which is the ravine near the housing project in Barangay Cadawinonan.
| Mental patient hangs A mental patient at the Negros Oriental Mental Rehabilitation Center was found dead hanging from the iron bars with his belt in his cell Thursday in Talay, Dumaguete City. The patient identified as Dindo Colina, 35, married and a resident of Barangay Tugas in Tanjay City, Negros Oriental, is believed to have committed suicide. Dr. Angelo Jesus Arias, chief of the NOPH-Psychiatric Ward said the victim came to him alone at about 11:30 a.m. Thursday, purportedly to submit himself to treatment. |
| No second installation, Forty-one agrarian reform beneficiaries were installed Wednesday in the land formerly owned by the Moras Vicente Agricultural Corp. in Novallas, Tanjay City, Negros Oriental. Provincial Agrarian Reform officer Grace Fua said they were installed after it was ascertained that there is no legal problem on the landholding. Fua also stressed to the beneficiaries that they must not leave the landholding after the installation, because there will be no second one. |
