The New People’s Army made its presence felt again in southern Negros, when men believed to be its members burned heavy equipment of a private construction firm contracted by the government to rehabilitate and repair farm to market roads in Cauayan, Negros Occidental, Monday night.
Lt. Col. Ariel Reyes, 47th Infantry Battalion commander, yesterday said about 30 armed men, who introduced themselves as NPA members, burned a dump truck and a backhoe owned by the HLJ construction firm in Sitio Buta, Brgy. Caliling, Cauayan.
Damage has been placed at P1.8 million.
vs. fake dentist
BY CARLA GOMEZ
A complaint for homicide and violation of the Philippine Dental Act of 2007 was filed yesterday against a man practicing dentistry without a license, who allegedly caused the death of a 28-year-old resident of Manapla town in Negros Occidental, by extracting five of his teeth at the same time.
The complaint was filed before the Negros Occidental Provincial Prosecutor’s Office at the Bacolod Hall of Justice against Diosdado Salas Mahilum of Barangay Punta Mesa, Manapla, for the death of Jerry Deocampo Aguirre on Aug. 19, 2014, at the rented house of his sister in Barangay 2-A, Manapla.
Violeta Aquirre, mother of the victim, said in her complaint affidavit that Mahilum, who is not a licensed dentist, extracted five of her son’s teeth at the same time on Aug. 1, 2014, causing his death 18 days later, from septic embolism secondary to dental foci.

Dumaguete Comelec notes
low SK registration turnout
BY JUANCHO GALLARDE
A reduction in the number of Sangguniang Kabataan registrants is seen in Dumaguete, with only a little more than 600 new ones being added to the previous list.
Before the 10-day registration period that ended September 29, there were 2,367 registered SK voters but more than 1,045 were deleted having reached, or reaching the age of 18 on or before the election on February 21, 2015.
There are now 1,322 in the list with ages 15 to 17 years, plus the new registrants of about 600, most of whom are from high schools in Dumaguete. The number could be lower when hearings start.
