Zubiri: Let's give helmet law
a try in Dumaguete, Neg.Or.
BY JUANCHO GALLARDE

“Let's give it a try,” former Senator Miguel Zubiri said about the impending implementation of the national helmet law in Dumaguete City and Negros Oriental in July this year.

Zubiri said it is the right of every individual to raise concerns about the so-called impracticability of the helmet law in a small city like Dumaguete, but as government officials, “You cannot just disregard the safety of constituents and motorists alike,” he said.

Last week, more than a thousand motorists in Dumaguete signed a petition in connection with the filing of a class suit against the implementation of the helmet law, spearheaded by the city council.

Church wishes to inspire
young people for vocation
BY MARICAR ARANAS

The Roman Catholic Church wishes to inspire more young people to respond to the call for religious vocation as priests and nuns.

Fr. Jesus Dajac, official guardian of the relic of Saint Clare of Assisi and under the Missionaries of Faith from the Holy See, said the presence of young people during the mass celebration in the Diocese of Dumaguete is an inspiration to call for more postulants in religious vocation.

He added that young people are vital in making the church more vibrant. He invited more Roman Catholic people to live by the words of God, and to realize that life is precious and beautiful.

CHR airs stand on eviction:
No relocation, no demolition

MANLA – “If there is no proper issuance of A court order and a provision of adequate relocation, there must be no demolition or eviction” the government press release said.

Commission on Human Rights Chairperson Loretta Ann P. Rosales made this statement, referring to all violent demolitions as violations of human rights, as she briefly mentioned Monday's violence-marred demolition in Paranaque City during the press briefing on the CHR 1st Quarter Human Rights Report on Tuesday at the CHR Office in Quezon City.
