for TRO on suspension
BY CHRYSEE SAMILLANO
The Supreme Court has denied the petition for certiorari with application for a temporary restraining order yesterday on the preventive suspension issued against Mayor Monico Puentevella by the Sandiganbayan Fourth Division pending the investigation of his graft case involving alleged overpriced computer packages.
This was confirmed by the legal counsel of Puentevela yesterday.
Ralph Sarmiento said the TRO is already moot and academic and has already served its purpose. So, its denial has no effect on the Mayor's case..

An alleged co-founder of a carnapping-robbery group operating in Negros Oriental, was killed in a shootout with policemen, while trying to elude arrest, in Barangay Bulwangan, Hinobaan town, Negros Occidental, around noon yesterday.
The slain fugitive, identified as Jimmer Dinglasa, had pending arrest warrants for two counts of robbery and carnapping, issued by Judge Winston Villegas. He sustained a gunshot wound in the head, and died on the spot, Senior Inspector Roberto Indiape Jr., Hinobaan police chief, said.
Police alleged that Dinglasa, alias Mameng, was co-founder of the Ebasan-Dinglasa robbery group, that has been linked to numerous robbery and carnapping incidents in Negros Oriental.
