No House okay yet
for CARP extension
BY CARLA GOMEZ
The House of Representatives has yet to deliberate on its counterpart bill to the one just approved by the Senate allowing the Department of Agrarian Reform to continue issuing Notices of Coverage and accepting voluntary offers to sell by landowners of agricultural lands until June 30, 2016.
Abang Lingkod Partylist Rep. Stephen Paduano said yesterday that Senate Bill No. 2278 can only become a law after it is reconciled with its House version and signed by the president.
Paduano said the House version of SB 2278 has yet to be placed on the agenda of the Committee on Agrarian Reform where there is a pending bill, not for the extension of land acquisition, but for the creation of a committee to investigate the circumvention of the CARP implementation..

Martial law ‘victims’
file claims application
BY JUANCHO GALLARDE & JUDY F. PARTLOW
More than 200 flocked to the Negros Oriental Convention Center in Dumaguete City to file and process claims for benefits for victims of martial law.
A team from the Human Rights Claims Board arrived in Dumaguete Wednesday for the three-day processing until today, as part of the six-month campaign for claims of victims of abuse during the martial law years.
Glenda Litong of the Claims Board said that due to limited time and personnel, they can only accept the applications of an average 150 claimants each day.
