‘powerhouse cast'
BY CARLA GOMEZ
Bacolod Rep. Evelio Leonardia, chairman of the Nationalist People's Coalition in Bacolod City, said yesterday that the party has drawn up a complete slate of their candidates for the election next year and that it is going to be a “powerhouse cast”.
At the meeting of the NPC District Sunday, he told the group to go “full speed ahead” with the work for the elections.
He did not disclose the names of the NPC candidates, but confirmed that they already have candidates for congressman, mayor, vice mayor and for the 12 seats in the city council. They also have a line-up of alternate candidates, and added that they had a hard time choosing because of the number of good choices.
Bacolod Rep. Evelio Leonardia is part of the five member Philippine panel discussing current Southeast Asian issues at the week-long 36th ASEAN Inter-Parliamentary Assembly (AIPA) in Malaysia that started Sunday.
Leonardia flew to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia Sunday with the Philippine delegation composed of Rep. Al Francis Bichara (Albay, 2 nd District), Rep. Raul Del Mar (Cebu, 1 st District) Rep. Jose Christopher Belmonte (Quezon City, 6 th District), and Rep. Raymond Democrito Mendoza (TUCP Partylist), a press release from his office said yesterday.
Bichara is chair and Leonardia is a member of the Congressional Committee on Foreign Affairs and Inter-Parliamentary Relations.

MGB 7 urges vigilance vs.
Mabinay sinkholes
BY JUDY F. PARTLOW
A senior official of the Mines and Geo-Sciences Bureau of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources in Region 7 cautioned officials and residents of Mabinay, Negros Oriental, to be vigilant and continue monitoring the sinkholes that have formed in that upland municipality.
Cebu-based Ma. Elena Lupo, MGB-7 senior geologist, said yesterday in a telephone interview that the sinkholes along the riverbed in Barangay Hagtu, Mabinay currently do not pose an immediate threat to the residents there.
However, constant monitoring is required especially during heavy and continuous downpour as the current condition of the underground cavities could not yet be ascertained, Lupo said.
