IN DUMAGUETE
Tolentino urges public to file
complaint against erring cops
BY JUDY F. PARTLOW

Supt. Crisaleo Tolentino, chief of police of Dumaguete City, is urging the public to file complaints against police personnel for lapses in their duties, especially in checkpoints.

Tolentino was reacting to reports that policemen chased motorists who evaded checkpoints, and pointed their guns at the drivers.

A recent incident involved a male teenager who turned around and drove off after seeing the checkpoint at a Dumaguete boundary. He admitted he was driving without a license, and claimed that the two policemen, who caught up with him on a motorcycle, cocked their guns while scolding him for fleeing.

DSWD ready to turn over
houses to ‘Ondoy' victims
BY JUDY F. PARTLOW

The Department of Social Welfare and Development Region 7 is waiting for the Dumaguete City government to submit complete paperwork before it can turn over the housing units to victims of tropical storm “Ondoy”.

Aileen Lariba of the DSWD said yesterday that all the 60 housing units at the project site in Barangay Bajumpandan are funded by the national government through the Core Shelter Program and will be given free to the victims.

But since the city had provided the lot, the local government unit told the DSWD it intends to collect from the beneficiaries a certain amount for a number of years as amortization to offset its expense in buying the property so the money can be used for similar projects in the future, she added.

The Dumaguete City government will start the construction of houses for victims of tropical storm “Sendong”, this month, Mayor Manuel Sagarbarria said.

He said the project had been delayed by paperwork and other requirements in the memorandum of agreement between the city, the National Housing Authority and the Department of Social Welfare and Development.

The deed of absolute sale of the property owned by the Tale family in Barangay Banilad, Dumaguete, has also been completed, Sagarbarria said.
