Hunting hotspots
under close watch
BY RENE GENOVE
Six areas in Negros Oriental have been identified as hunting “hotspots,” Vice Gov. Jose Baldado yesterday said, as he reiterated the immediate need for a wildlife rescue center where wildlife species saved, especially those near extinction, can be kept and bred in captivity.
The hunting hotspots are Basay, Sta. Catalina, Siaton, Mabinay, Ayungon and Guihulngan, Baldado said.
Provincial Environment and Natural Resources officer Oscar Magallones said illegal hunting activities are prevalent in these hotspot areas. 
| Veggie shortage Negros Oriental is experiencing a shortage of vegetable supply due to a very low production following the series of typhoons that brought heavy rains that affected most vegetable crops, provincial agriculturist Gregorio Paltinca yesterday said. He said most vegetables sold at the Tabo sa PAO have increased in prices because of the low production. Farmers reported that their crops were rotten and attacked by pests because of strong rains. Paltinca said majority of the vegetable production areas in the mountains experienced strong rains because of the typhoons. These areas include Canlaon City, Barangay Kalinawan, Dob-dob and Tamlang Valley. |
