Loan request delayed anew
BY GILBERT BAYORAN

The P180 million loan requested for approval by Governor Alfredo Marañon Jr., for the construction of phase two of the Negros First Cyber Center and six additional classrooms for the Negros Occidental High School in Bacolod City, was again not acted upon yesterday by the Sangguniang Panlalawigan, due to lack of quorum.

Vice Governor Genaro Alvarez, the presiding officer, was forced to cancel and adjourn their regular session, due to the non-appearance of eight of the 15 board members.

Board Member Raul Rivera, a member of the SP committee on Finance, yesterday said that members of the committee will again meet next week to deliberate on the proposed loans.moremoremore
