Mayor: City will ensure
peace, order at port
BY MARICAR ARANAS
Mayor Agustin Perdices yesterday said he will support the local police in implementing peace and order at the reopened Dumaguete port zone, even as strikers said they will continue to block all cargo that will pass through the area.
Perdices said the strike area is part of the port zone, and the local police will support only the port police. The dispersal of the strikers will be done by port policemen while the local police will provide the support, he added.
Port manager Renato Tolinero said he needs the support of the local PNP because the situation cannot be solely handled by the Philippine Ports Authority. 
| Three killed, DUMAGUETE CITY – Three people were killed and 23 injured when the mini-dump truck they were riding rolled over when it lost its brakes as it was traversing a rough road to Balanan Lake in Siaton town, Negros Oriental, Sunday afternoon. The truck, owned by Barangay Bonawon, was carrying winners of the recent Ms. Bonawon beauty contest, trainers, dancers and other people on their way to celebrate their victory at the tourist destination, Balanan Lake. A report reaching Camp Fernandez in Agan-an, Sibulan town said the truck, driven by a certain Noel Pajulas, of legal age, single, and a resident of Bonawon, Siaton town, collided with a motorcycle driven by Elmer Alfonte, 17, single, of Bayawan City. |
| IN AYUNGON Another member of the New People's Army also gave himself up Saturday to a CAFGU detachment in Ayungon, Negros Oriental, together with an M-16 assault rifle, to avail of the Balik-Baril program of the government, the military said. Col. Honorato de los Reyes, 303rd Infantry Brigade commander, however, withheld the identity the rebel returnee, for security reasons. The surrender Saturday came three days after Randy de Baguio, alias Ka Rex, also surrendered to the 61st IB Charlie Company in Kabankalan City, Negros Occidental. |
