The governor, who heads the United Negros Alliance, said he also believes the majority of the Love Negros mayors will support his re-election bid and that of his runningmate, Rep. Jeffrey Ferrer (Neg. Occ., 4 th District).

moves vs. suspension
BY CHRYSEE SAMILLANO
Bacolod Mayor Monico Puentevella yesterday denied reports that he went to the Sandiganbayan Thursday to file a motion for reconsideration to the 90-day suspension order issued against him.
The order was issued in connection with a graft case filed against him for the purchase of alleged overpriced Information Technology packages amounting to P26 million.
“You should ask my lawyers. We do not have to telegraph our punches. I will tell you what happens when it happens,” Puentevella said when questioned by the media yesterday.

IN DUMAGUETE
Another police asset killed
BY JUANCHO GALLARDE
Another police asset was gunned down by men on a motorcycle at about 1:15 a.m. yesterday morning at the housing site in Cadawinonan, Dumaguete, considered as one of four hot spot areas in the proliferation of illegal drugs in the city, which also resulted to the wounding of a civilian.
Harris Deguilo Alivio, 39, of Villarosa Subdivision in Tubtubon, Sibulan town, Negros Oriental, a former jail guard, was declared dead past 2 a.m., by Dr. Clay Gumalo. Alivio sustained at least five gunshot wounds.
Initial investigation showed the victim, an asset of the Special Operations Group, arrived at the housing site at about 11 p.m. Oct. 1 to meet with a certain Tata Agui. He would have left a few minutes later, but the headlight of his Honda Econo Power motorcycle malfunctioned and needed to be repaired. A motorcycle mechanic, identified as Rico Sapio, was asked by Alivio to do repairs.
