SP denies P10M for
NOHS classrooms With a vote of seven against five, the Sangguniang Panlalawigan of Negros Occidental yesterday disapproved the P10 million loan being proposed by Governor Alfredo Marañon Jr. to be used in the construction of six classrooms at the Negros Occidental High School in Bacolod City. The division of the house, which was moved by Board Member Renato Gustilo, was triggered by the suggestion of Board Member Pedro Zayco, chairperson of the SP committee on Education, that, instead of securing a loan at the Land Bank of the Philippines, the funds for additional classrooms should be taken from the 2013 budget, from the school board, or the general funds. |
