no show at arraignment
BY CHRYSEE SAMILLANO
A medical certificate issued by the Bacolod City Health Office stating that he is suffering from hypertension due to stress led the Sandiganbayan Fourth Division to reset the arraignment of the criminal case filed against Bacolod Mayor Monico Puentevella to May 22, when he failed to show up at the hearing yesterday.
The case involves the questionable Information Technology package worth about P26 million purchased from his Priority Development Assistance Fund when he was yet congressman of Bacolod City .
The Court, however, also denied the request of Puentevella to travel to Switzerland, as well as his motion to defer his arraignment due to his pending petition in the Supreme Court..

‘Change airport's name'
BY JUANCHO GALLARDE
The Dumaguete Airport is located within the jurisdiction of Sibulan, Mayor Emmanuel Diputado said and the Sangguniang Bayan has passed a resolution requesting the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines to change its name to Sibulan-Dumaguete Airport.
He said the confusion will not be much as it can be done by simply putting the word “Sibulan” in its name.
Meawhile, Diputado said he is against proposals to extend and expand the present airport sideward without a thorough study involving environmental concerns, security and social acceptability of the project
