Negrenses laud Senate
decision to impeach CJ

BY JUDY F. PARTLOW & MARICAR ARANAS

The decision of 20 senator-judges to convict Chief Justice Renato Corona earned varied reactions from residents of Dumaguete City and neighboring areas.

Msgr. Gamaliel Tulabing, administrator of the Diocese of Dumaguete, has called for sobriety, saying that people should remain calm and pray for peace to prevail in the nation.

Reiterating the call of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines, Tulabing said that the best way to peace is to accept whatever the decision of the Senate that sat as an impeachment court so that “we can continue with whatever progress this country can have”.

BY JUDY F. PARTLOW

About 68 priests from the dioceses of Dumaguete in Negros Oriental, San Carlos in Occidental, and other religious congregations, paid their last respects to the late Rev. Monsignor Bienvenido Antonio Escalambre Vicente, who was laid to rest yesterday afternoon.

Msgr. Gamaliel Tulabing, administrator of the Diocese of Dumaguete, officiated at the concelebrated funeral mass at the St. Catherine of Alexandria Cathedral in the city.

Vicente, 77, died of a lingering illness on May 21 at the Holy Child Hospital in Dumaguete. He had served various assignments and positions in the Diocese, since he was ordained to the priesthood on June 17, 1966 in Logroño, Spain.

Lanao Council forms
Sultanate of Panay

BY GILBERT BAYORAN

The Sultanate of Panay is the newest addition to the existing sultanates in the Philippines as declared by the Lanao Advisory Council.

Senior Insp. Sally Manuel of Police Regional Office 6 said the completion of the administrative structure made Panay the youngest of 21 sultanates in the Philippines. The others are 16 in Lanao del Sur, three in Maguindanao, and one in Sulu.

This was after Topaan Disomimba, sultan of Masiu and chairman of the LAC, in a Royal Decree signed May 26 in Roxas City, Capiz, confirmed the organization of the Sultanate of Panay, subject to the Code of Rules and Protocol inherent and attached to the sultanate system, he added.
