Thirty-four college student leaders in Negros Oriental and Occidental completed the three-day BINHI Youth Camp-Negros held at the Energy Development Corporation’s Energy Camp in Valencia town, Negros Oriental, recently.

BINHI is the greening program of EDC, with focus on reforestation and emphasis on the prime endangered species in the country.

Seventeen delegates each from the two Negros provinces converged for the youth camp that ended Saturday night, and aimed to provide the participants with the experience on “how energy can be in harmony with nature,” Dwight Maxino, EDC vice president for the Negros Island Business Unit, said.

Arnaiz seeks
intelligence fund details

Rep. George Arnaiz (Neg. Or., 2nd District) sought for details of how the peace and order budget is allocated and spent, during the Provincial Development Council meeting held recently in Dumaguete City.

Arnaiz said Governor Roel Degamo did not answer directly the query, and added the purpose of his question was to check if there were duplications.

The discussion of the proposed expenditures, particularly the P10 million intelligence fund for 2015, was done amid claims that such funding was not authorized in the 2014 annual budget but was already spent.
