“ I am Grace Poe. A Filipino. A daughter, wife and mother. And with God's grace, I offer myself for the country's highest calling as your President”, the senator finally declared last night.
Poe, whose mother is from Negros Occidental, declared her bid to run for president in 2016 before a crowd of more than 5,000, inculding some Negrense officials and supporters, at the University of the Philippines Bahay ng Alumni in Diliman, Quezon City.
Poe's adoptive mother Susan Roces, was born Jesusa Purificacion Sonora in Bacolod City on July 28, 1941 to Dr. Jesus Tonggoy Sonora and Purificacion Levy, is a member of the Locsin clan of Negros.

BY GILBERT BAYORAN
A suspected drug personality arrested Tuesday by the police in Binalbagan, Negros Occidental, turned out to be one of the suspects in the assassination of Board Member Renato Malabor on June 28 in Isabela town, Police Supt. Antonietto Canete yesterday said.
The suspect linked to the killing of Malabor, identified as Eduardo Jugos, alias Bongbong, was apprehended by the combined team of the Provincial Anti-Illegal Drugs Special Operations Task Group in the 5th and 6th districts, and the Binalbagan police during a buy-bust operation in Brgy. Enclaro, Binalbagan.
The arrest of Jugos yielded an estimated P10,000 in suspected shabu.

Hospital Central Block
building 51% complete
BY JUANCHO GALLARDE
The building that will address the lack of beds at the Negros Oriental Provincial Hospital is 51 percent complete, and Gov. Roel Degamo led provincial officials, engineers and health personnel, headed by Dr. Henrissa Calumpang, in the traditional topping activity as proof that the structure has already reached the fourth floor.
Target completion of the Central Block Building, that is being constructed based on the standards of the Department of Health, is December 31, 2015.
Provincial engineer Franco Alpuerto said the super structure beams and columns have been completed, minus the finishing touches, like piping, electrical, ceilings, and windows, among others, that comprise 49 percent of the remaining work to be done.
