Prov'l dev't plan Intense deliberations ensued during the Provincial Development Council meeting Thursday to craft a five-year development plan for Negros Oriental. Of around 30 members who attended the meeting, 24 voted to approve the plan, while four to six others opposed it. It was noted that during the approval of the enhanced Provincial Development and Physical Framework Plan (PDPFP) and the Provincial Development and Investment Program (PDIP) for 2014-2019, those who registered their objections, pending more clarificatory questions, belong to the opposite political camp. Rep. George Arnaiz (Neg. Or., 2 nd District) and Board Member Arnie Teves pointed out that they would only want a very good plan to be implemented by whoever wins in next year's elections. |

Arham Diamaden Alimoden and Ryan Manan Lumangcolob, all of Basak, Lapu-lapu City in Cebu, were assisted by their temporary counsel, Gary Guido Tabios of the Public Attorney's Office during inquest proceedings Wednesday, conducted by assistant provincial prosecutor II Ethyl Eleccion-Vidal at the Hall of Justice in Dumaguete City. A third suspect was ordered to be placed in the custody of the social welfare office in Sibulan, Negros Oriental, for being a minor. |
