sign revised pact for
BY JUANCHO GALLARDE

The national government has acceded to the demands of local chief executives in Negros Oriental headed by Gov. Roel Degamo in amending certain provisions of a Memorandum of Agreement to effectively implement the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program.

Degamo was in Malacañang yesterday for the signing of the MOA between the Department of Social Welfare and local chief executives on the implementation of the program to benefit the poor.

The MOA signing was held in abeyance a few weeks ago when Degamo and some mayors questioned the requirement for the beneficiaries to enroll first with PhilHealth, when the province has its own insurance system that is extending the same services.

LTO in province

BY JUANCHO GALLARDE

Seventy-seven police officers in Negros Oriental were issued deputation orders by the Land Transportation Office in Region 7 to help in the enforcement of Republic Act No. 4136, or the Land Transportation Code of the Philippines.

PNP provincial director, Senior Supt. Rey Lyndon Lawas, received recently the deputation orders of the 77 police officers signed by LTO regional director Raul Aquilos.

He directed police stations all over the province to conduct as many checkpoints as they can, to deter the commission of crimes.

Three Girl Scouts from Dauin town in Negros Oriental were awarded the Chief Girl Scout Medal Award for successfully implementing community projects.

Princess Abellon, 16, Jerrah Mae Tupas, 15, and Krizel Jane Ariz, 15, were given the highest award by the Girl Scouts of the Philippines during the awarding ceremony recently, at SMX Convention Center in Pasay City.

Abellon, a senior high school student of Dauin National High School, implemented a one-year ecological project called “Beautification of a Neglected Area”. Tupas, a junior high schooler from Antonio B. Alejado Municipal High School undertook a health project called “Help Children Grow” at Purok 6 in Brgy. Magsaysay, while Ariz, a fellow junior student from the same school, carried out an ecological project on “Zero Waste Management” in Brgy. Panubtuban.
