Meniong severes ties
with guv, backs Petit
BY JUANCHO GALLARDE
Former Rep. Herminio “Meniong” Teves (Neg.Or., 3rd District), tagged as the political kingpin in Negros Oriental, has officially confirmed he has severed political ties with incumbent Gov. Emilio Macias II in what was described as an end to the merry days forged by the two camps back in 2007.
Teves said he is withdrawing his support for Macias and will be campaigning for Vice Gov. Jose “Petit” Baldado in the 2010 elections.
He added that Macias had chosen Mayor German Saraña Jr. as his vice gubernatorial candidate purposely to get votes from Bayawan City, and not for the mayor to win. 
| Sojor denies forced Dr. Henry Sojor, president of the Negros Oriental State University, has denied reports the school was enforcing an add-on fee of P3,000 for graduating Education students for an on-campus board examinations review. He said it was not compulsory for graduating students to pay such fee which is way below the current review rates being charged by other schools and review centers outside of Dumaguete City. He said some review centers in Cebu would charge as high as P15,000 to P20,000 per person. |
