Five Cadiz City residents were sentenced yesterday to reclusion perpetua, or 40 years imprisonment, for the murder of a 19-year-old man whom they stabbed and beat to death.
Cadiz City Regional Trial Court Executive Judge, Renato Muñez, found Renante Hinojales Dawa Sr., alias Negro, Chris Orlando Magalona, alias Panok, Nestor Catalan Garcia Jr., alias Tonton, Joemar Catalan Sayam, alias Dumdum, and Allan Sayam Ribo, alias Tata, who are all detained, guilty beyond reasonable doubt of murder, private prosecutor Roem Arbolado said.
The judge ordered the five to jointly pay the heirs of their victim, Michael Adelantar, P75,000 as indemnity for his death, P75,000 in moral damages, P50,000 in exemplary damages and P277,000 in funeral expenses without subsidiary imprisonment in case of insolvency. 
Ouster decision
not final – Ramos
BY CHRYSEE SAMILLANO
Marichi Ramos yesterday said she is still a director of the Bacolod City Water District since the decision of the Court is not yet final and executory.
This was her reaction to the decision of the Regional Trial Court ordering her ouster as member of the Baciwa Board of Directors, representing the professional sector, and declaring Ramiro Garcia Jr. as the duly appointed member.
Garcia had filed a petition for quo warranto against Ramos on August 20 asking the Court to declare her not entitled to sit as member of the Baciwa Board representing the professional sector, ousting her from the position, and to declare him as the person entitled to be a member of the Baciwa Board.

Noreco 2 gets lower
rates for customers
The Negros Oriental II Electric Cooperative and Green Core Geothermal Inc. signed yesterday an amendment to their power supply agreement for a P0.45 per kilowatt hour rate reduction effective October 26 this year.
The extended term will be from December 25, 2020 to December 25, 2035 to ensure power supply security for its consumers.
The amended contract will benefit Noreco 2 customers as it provides for the delivery of 25-megawatt of clean geothermal power at reduced rate pursuant to the re-pricing provisions and market-based structure in the original ten-year PSA, the Energy Development Corporation said
