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.

Mario Aragon of the Forest Resources Development Division of the DENR in Region 7 said that while the conservation and development project was hatched several years ago, it was only this year when the DENR central office contracted the services of Lichel Technologies Inc. to undertake a study and prepare a master plan it. |
