in murder of 2 cops
BY GILBERT BAYORAN
Negros Occidental Gov. Alfredo Marañon Jr. yesterday ordered Senior Supt. Milko Lirazan, provincial police director, to further intensify their anti-drug campaign and immediately investigate policemen suspected of being involved in the illegal drug trade.
This was after Marañon also noted that the killing of two policemen within a month, may have been drug-related, and the suspects are also police officers.
The three policemen linked to the deaths of SPO4 Roger Canete and PO2 John Gallenero in EB Magalona and La Carlota City, Negros Occidental, respectively, have already been charged for murder before the Provincial Prosecutor’s Office.

NegOr judges pay tribute
to PNP-SAF ‘Fallen 44’
BY JUDY F. PARTLOW
Members of the judiciary in Negros Oriental have called on the Philippine National Police to be circumspect in their day to day functions of keeping the peace following the January 25 Mamasapano bloodbath.
At least seven judges and the provincial legal officer joined the Negros Oriental PNP Office in the Monday morning flag-raising ceremony where a wreath-laying activity was held to honor the 44 commandos of the PNP’s Special Action Force killed last month in Maguindanao province.
Negros Oriental Executive Judge Gerardo Paguio Jr., in a message addressed to his colleagues and the PNP, slammed the killings and described it as “lawlessness in its vilest form”.
