BY CHRYSEE SAMILLANO
The Bacolod Sangguniang Panlungsod and the Utility Consumers Alliance of Negros will file a petition asking the Energy Regulatory Commission to hold the next hearing of the application for approval of the amended memorandum of agreement and its supplemental agreement between Ceneco and Energreen Power Development and Management Inc. in Bacolod City, Vicente Petierre, counsel for the SP, said yesterday.
The hearing on the application was presided over by ERC hearing officer Ronel Marasigan at the Ceneco office yesterday.
Petierre, with UCAN and Councilor Alex Paglumotan, chairman of the SP Committee on Energy, opposed the provisional authority requested by Ceneco, saying there is no basis to grant it. 
UNDOC to hold
protest vs. City
BY CHRYSEE SAMILLANO
The United Negros Drivers and Operators Center will stage a protest on September 30 against the alleged failure of the city government and the Bacolod Sangguniang Panlungsod to act on their complaints against the operation of the Bacolod Traffic Authority Office.
UNDOC secretary general Diego Malacad also said yesterday that they had submitted a petition letter to the SP on September 10, seeking the replacement of BTAO head Reynaldo Ebreo because they were not satisfied with the way he has been implementing certain traffic ordinances of the city. He said they will submit their position again to the SP, reiterating their demand.
“This is just an opening salvo. We will also write Congress to seek a congressional inquiry on our concerns,” he said..

Maxino said this before the Sangguniang Bayan of Valencia because of apprehensions of environmental groups about the issuance of a tree-cutting permit for the Nasulo project of the EDC by the DENR.
He said the company complements its operations with a comprehensive water management and community partnerships program, forest restoration, upland community management, forest protection, biodiversity conservation and monitoring, health promotions, education, livelihood development and community environment in its concern to save Mt. Talinis from further denudation..
