Woman doctor faces
mauling complaint
BY JUDY F. PARTLOW

A woman sought the assistance of the Commission on Human Rights in Negros Oriental for an alleged mauling incident involving a doctor assigned at the Negros Oriental Provincial Hospital in Dumaguete City.

CHR-Negros Oriental special investigator, Jess Cañete, declined to name the complainant and the doctor until he has started a formal investigation on the incident.

But he said the woman and some companions appeared at his office yesterday to file a complaint against the government doctor, a female, who, Cañete said, has been the subject of past media reports for similar complaints of alleged maltreatment of patients.

58 Caritas households
to be energized
BY JUANCHO GALLARDE

Fifty-eight low cost housing units of Caritas Phase I in Barangay Bajumpandan, Dumaguete City, will be energized starting tomorrow at ceremonies to be attended by city and the Negros Oriental II Electric Cooperative officials.

Expected to attend are Mayor Manuel Sagarbarria, the Noreco 2 board of directors, headed by Fe Marie Dicen-Tagle, and general manager Dionefred Macahig, and barangay officials, who have been making follow-ups for the completion of the project.

The energization was held pending for several months, in spite of the approval of the Noreco Board, due to other priorities. It was fast-tracked upon the assumption of Macahig, former finance manager of the electric cooperative.
