BY JUDY F. PARTLOW

Mayor Neil Credo of Dauin, Negros Oriental said the town aims for an increase in revenues this year, mostly from the town’s thriving tourism industry.

Dauin is the host municipality of the internationally famed dive destination, Apo Island, and has the most number of beach resorts in the province totaling 14, Credo added.

Credo also said Dauin earned more than P12 million in 2010 and it hopes to increase this by at least P1 million this year.

Local government units and  barangay officials in Negros Oriental must take a more active role in preventing and responding to disasters amid visible changes in weather patterns brought about by climate change, Allen Cabaron, Civil Defense coordinator of Negros Oriental, said yesterday.

Cabaron  admitted the need to strengthen coordination among major players in disaster risk reduction and management, because of  observations about the absence of uniform reporting in the  recent flooding incident that claimed the lives of at least four people.
