BY CARLA GOMEZ
Elected officials in Negros Occidental crossed party lines at a dinner in Bacolod City Saturday night hosted by Judy Araneta Roxas, mother of Interior and Local Government Secretary Mar Roxas, where she and Gov. Alfredo Marañon Jr. rallied Negrense support to put an Ilonggo in Malacañang in 2016.
At the dinner at the Araneta ancestral home in Bacolod, Marañon introduced Mrs. Roxas as the mother of the next president of the Philippines.
“We belong to different political parties but we have only one purpose to put an Ilonggo, a Negrosanon, in Malacañang,” Marañon said.

NegOr gang leader escapee
killed in shoot-out with cops
BY GILBERT BAYORAN
His luck finally came to an end.
A suspect linked to a shooting incident, who was killed May 28 in a shoot-out with policemen in Kabankalan City, Negros Occidental, turned out to be a “high risk” suspected leader of a carnapping-robbery group, who had escaped from jail in Negros Oriental, in March this year.
Chief Inspector Eduardo Corpuz, Kabankalan police officer-in-charge, yesterday identified the slain suspect as Ricardo Ebasan, 44, of Sibulan, Negros Oriental.
