BY JUANCHO GALLARDE
A deep penetration police agent was shot dead Thursday night in Purok Sampaguita, Sitio Canday-ong in Barangay Calindagan, Dumaguete City.
Police identified the fatality as Felixberto Somoza II, 36, of Magatas in Sibulan town, Negros Oriental. He sustained multiple gunshot wounds when three suspects, who were in their 20s and 30s, shot him with .45 caliber pistols.
Somoza was a member of the radio communications group React, married with two little children. Law enforcement units admitted that he was a deep penetration agent in Canday-ong, whose activity resulted to the arrests of several drug personalities in the area, adding he may have been pinpointed as the informant in the latest drug operation in the barangay, particularly involving the Melon residence.

‘CCTVs should
be operational' The Highway Patrol Group in Negros Oriental stressed the need for closed-circuit television cameras to be operational 24 hours a day, to help in the anti-criminality campaign in Dumaguete City. HPG chief, Insp. Robelito Mariano, said he observed that some CCTV units of several business establishments are not really working at all. He made the observation while looking for leads on a carnapped motorcycle that was parked outside an establishment at Perdices Street in Dumaguete, where CCTV cameras are installed. |

Instructional materials The Department of Education Negros Oriental Division launched recently the division-initiated “K to 12 Localized Instructional Materials” or “Big Books”, where stories and legends of all the barangays within the district are printed for school children to read and understand. The launching was graced by Luz Jandayan, chief of the Curriculum Learning and Management Division of DepEd Region 7, and was attended by about 2,000 teachers from 700 schools in the Negros Oriental Division, with Gov. Roel Degamo, Vice Gov. Edward Mark Macias and some board members. DepEd Negros Oriental Division schools superintendent, Salustiano Jimenez, said the idea came about while visiting schools in the division. He said when asked about their histories or legends, the students and even the teachers could not answer him. |
