Provincial treasurer Danilo Mendez said the provincial government had collected about P1.9 million from sand and gravel extraction in 2009, then P3.1 million in 2010, and P3.5 million last year.

From January to August 2012, the collection was at P801,538.O

The consumers’ cooperatives in Japan, through the Alter Trade Japan and Alternative People’s Linkages in Asia, recently donated a 5,156 square-meter lot in Brgy. HumayHumay, Guihulngan, Negros Oriental, where a school will be established, Gilda Caduya, Alter Trade Corporation president, said yesterday.

Caduya said the donation will answer the need for a relocation site, after the Department of Environment and Natural Resources-Mines and Geosciences Bureau declared the HumayHumay Elementary School area as susceptible to landslide.

AJT president Makoto Ueda attended the turnover rites and gave the deed of donation to Mario Andong of the Department of Education Schools Division of Negros Oriental.

to attend SP hearings lamented

BY ROMY AMARADO

Some members of the Sangguniang Panlungsod of Dumaguete City expressed disappointment over the continued absence of Negros Oriental 2 Electric Cooperative representatives invited to explain the loan agreement on the purchase of electric posts from China.

Vice Mayor Allan Gel Cordova said the management of NORECO 2 had been invited to attend the session of the SP and then a committee meeting of the council.

After the third invitation, the Board of Directors of NORECO 2, through its secretary, James Juper Aguilar, wrote to the SP saying that “due to voluminous records concerning the contract…the Board cannot attend the meeting.”
