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.

Resigned prov'l
administrator returns to Capitol

Resigned provincial administrator and concurrent provincial legal officer, Richard Enojo, returned to work yesterday after having announced late last week he needed at least two days to reconsider his resignation.

Enojo made the official announcement of his change of heart in yesterday's flag raising ceremony, said Capitol information officer Adrian Sedillo.

Governor Roel Degamo was not present during the regular first Monday of the month activity but he and Enojo had a meeting afterwards at the Capitol, Sedillo added.
