The Department of Agrarian Reform has given P90 million with more to come to Agrarian Reform Beneficiaries Organizations of Negros Occidental through support services, DAR Undersecretary Rosalina Bistoyong, said yesterday.

Bistoyong, who was in Bacolod City, said it will be even more beneficial when Negros Occidental and Oriental are part of the Negros Island Region for more focused and concentrated support services and additional budget.

Aside from support services given, Negros Occidental also received P360 million in credit assistance from DAR through its Agrarian Production Credit Program as of September 2015, the biggest chunk from the P1.5 billion rolled out for this year, she said.

Former Bacolod City Water District internal general manager Mario Macatangay yesterday said they are not withholding the release of former general manager Juliana Carbon's retirement incentive.

Macatangay said Carbon inquired about her retirement benefits and they explained that are still waiting for the legal opinion of the Office of the Government Corporate Council on the matter after former union president Ramon Lopez warned members of the Baciwa Board that he will file charges if they grant her additional retirement benefits.

Lopez had said that only rank and file employees are entitled to receive additional retirement benefits under the Collective Negotiation Agreement between the union and Baciwa.
