The Board of Directors of Central Negros Electric Cooperative yesterday terminated the services of CENECO general manager Sulpicio Lagarde Jr. for loss of trust and confidence.
The Board passed a resolution to terminate Lagarde, and designated Ceneco finance manager Chuchie Destriza as acting general manager for 60 days until they can find a replacement.
Except for director Edward Gasambelo, who abstained during the voting due to personal reasons, those who voted to terminate Lagarde were Board president Arnel Lapore, vice president Mike Maravilla, secretary Paul Lizares, Robert Javellana, Zenaida Lacson, and Joyce Cuenca.

Thousands evacuated as
Queenie swells rivers
BY JUDY F. PARTLOW & JUANCHO GALLARDE
More than 2,000 individuals were evacuated from river banks in Dumaguete City and Tayasan town as tropical depression Queenie sliced across the province yesterday, bringing heavy rains that caused flooding in many areas in Negros Oriental.
A number of persons were reported missing in various parts of the province, and authorities continue to search for them even after the storm had already passed Negros Oriental and was on its way to Palawan by mid-morning.
In Dumaguete City, around 1,200 individuals from 14 barangays were transferred to temporary shelters after Mayor Manuel Sagarbarria ordered a pre-emptive evacuation as of 8 a.m.
