No major damage,
death in Ruby wake
BY JUDY F. PARTLOW
The Negros Oriental Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council, chaired by Gov. Roel Degamo, yesterday said no major damage to lives and properties were reported in the wake of “Ruby” in the province.
Provincial and local government officials in Negros Oriental prepositioned logistics and manpower resources, and implemented pre-disaster plans as early weather forecasts showed that the powerful and damaging storm will possibly cut across the Visayas.
Except for some persons who had sustained injuries, no typhoon-related deaths were reported to the Council, so far, PDRRMC executive officer Adrian Sedillo said.

Bishop calls for compassion Dumaguete Bishop Julito Cortes called for understanding, respect, compassion and mercy to people living with the human immunodeficiency virus infection and acquired immune deficiency syndrome, or HIV/AIDS. He aired this during his homily at a mass Sunday at the St. Catherine of Alexandria Cathedral in Dumaguete City, in celebration of the national Catholic AIDS Compassion. Many are affected, stigmatized and rejected for this disease, and are not given or getting proper treatment or interventions, Cortes said. When Jesus Christ came to this world, He taught about helping others, giving love and compassion to the poor and the needy, he added. |

Army hit for death of rebel The Leonardo Panaligan Command of the New People’s Army alleged that the 11th Infantry Battalion violated the Comprehensive Agreement on Respect for Human Rights, in the death of one of its red fighters during the November 9 encounter in Guihulngan City, Negros Oriental. Ka JB Regalado, spokesman of the Leonardo Panaligan Command, in a statement he issued, accused the 11th IB of inflicting injuries to Ka Dennis, who was captured during an encounter, that caused his death. The rebel group and the National Democratic Front-PKM Central Negros condemned the killing of Ka Dennis. |
