What about us?
The question was raised by Negros Occidental Board Member Miller Serondo, in reaction to the offer of the Energy Development Corp. to lower the electric rates in Negros Oriental.
Serondo expressed dismay that EDC is nowhere to be found, after failing to hit its target of getting 40 megawatts of geothermal power from Bago City, Negros Occidental, despite its entry into the Mt. Kanlaon Natural Park that was vehemently opposed by environmentalists.
airport questioned

Puentevella said he is a member of the Regional Development Council 6 headed by Negros Occidental Gov. Alfredo Marañon Jr.
He said that according to Abang Lingkod Rep. Stephen Paduano the matter will still be taken up in a meeting and they will still be looking for a private investor. “So this is way beyond reality,” he said.
