A fact-finding team from the National Electrification Administration arrived in Bacolod City yesterday to look into the case of the Board of Directors of Central Negros Electric Cooperation against dismissed Ceneco general manager Sulpicio Lagarde Jr.
The team was composed of lawyers Ricardo Orias and Goldileo Rivera, head of NEA Legal Department, and Financial and Operations Committee head, respectively.
The Ceneco Board terminated the services of Lagarde on November 26, with seven directors voting in the affirmative and Director Edward Gasambelo abstaining.

Villanueva won’t
recognize Garcia
BY CHRYSEE SAMILLANO
Despite the decision of the Court declaring Ramiro Garcia as the duly appointed member of the Bacolod City Water District Board of Directors, he was not recognized during the Board meeting held yesterday attended by seven members, including director Marichi Ramos.
Garcia yesterday said that at the outset, chairman of the Board Lawrence Villanueva refused to recognize him, so it was a stalemate and the Board decided to adjourn the meeting early.
Also present at the meeting were directors Lorendo Dilag, Ma. Aida Torre, Cecilia Henares, and Alfredo Bayanin, representing the Local Water Utilities Administration.

Guv files libel suit vs. dad,
two broadcast journalists
BY JUDY F. PARTLOW & JUANCHO GALLARDE
Negros Oriental Gov. Roel Degamo filed the first of a series of libel complaints against a member of the Sangguniang Panlalawigan and two block-time announcers of a local radio station in Dumaguete City before the City Prosecutor’s Office Thursday.
Degamo filed three separate charges of libel against Board Member Mellimoore Saycon, Meljun Banogon and Jimmy Cataylo, with a battery of lawyers and supporters.
The libel complaints stemmed from what Degamo describes as “personal” and “below the belt” attacks against him by the three respondents in their block-time programs at a local FM station.
