B16 NATION Thursday, 4 July 2019 Daily Tribune City mayor’s Angat Dam water rises The water level, however is still far from the 181.72-meter rule curve elevation son nabbed Some P1 million worth of party drugs including ecstasy, cocaine and kush and drug paraphernalia were seized from the suspects The son of the incumbent Cagayan de Oro City mayor and seven others were recently arrested by anti-narcotic operatives during a buy-bust operation in Angeles City. Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) Director General Aaron Aquino, identified the arrested suspects as Sean Moreno, 42, son of Cagayan de Oro City Mayor Oscar Moreno; Bernice Fabiosa, 31; Gregorio Imperial, 36; Bernadette Saavedra, 19; Jamie Abaygar, 20; Jessa Scott, 19; Maria Isabel Lawas, 19 and Aileen Jane Baldon, 23. Aquino said the suspects were arrested in an operation conducted Duterte help sought to end energy woes Damasco said the members of the board of PALECO were all inutile that must be remove at once By Andrio Antienza by the PDEA in the evening of 29 June in front of Lewis Grand Hotel, Malabanias Road, Angeles City. Some P1 million worth of party drugs including ecstasy, cocaine and kush and drug paraphernalia were seized from the suspects. Aquino said the suspects will be charged for violation of Section 5 (Sale of Dangerous Drugs), Section 11 (Possession of Dangerous Drugs), Section 12 (Possession of Drug Paraphernalia), Section 26 in relation to Section 5 (Attempt/Conspiracy), Republic Act 9165 or the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002. By Korinah Saromines The recent monsoon rains that fell across the metro finally had Angat Dam’s water level to rise — which stood at 161.08 meters by 6 a.m. on Wednesday, according to report. This was higher than the water level recorded at 6 a.m. on Tuesday, which was 160.29 meters. The water level, however is still far from the 181.72-meter rule curve elevation. Meanwhile, the water level at La Mesa Dam also rose on Wednesday — from 72.23 meters at 6 a.m. on Tuesday to 72.35. The water level at Pantabangan Dam in Nueva Ecija also went up on Wednesday to 191.74 meters from Tuesday’s 191.71 meters. Despite the rising water levels at Angat Dam, the Manila Water management made it clear that the water supply shortage is far from solved. Manila Water technical spokesman Donna Perez explained that in the worst cases, the water company is now able to provide at least 8 hours of water service, while in the best cases, customers have running water for longer than 12 hours a day. She said that 99.85 percent of customers in the East Zone franchise area now have notably improved water service. “We are still only getting 36 cubic meters per second allocation, so there has been no change in the volume of water we can give,” said Perez. Perez however explained that the improved water service today is not the result of the very modest rise in Angat Dam’s water level. Instead, it came as a result of changes in the way the company allocates available water supply, resulting in more equitable distribution, she added. Puerto Princesa City Councilor Elgin Robert Damasco will lead a signature campaign to remove the entire board of directors of the Palawan Electric Cooperative (PALECO) as ultimate solution to resolve the series of power outages in the city. “In the signature campaign against PALECO, it’s not only the city officials but also the public will sign in the petition and we will bring it the Office of the President,” said Damasco, who is the current chair of the committee on energy in the local government of Puerto Princesa. Damasco said despite the warning of President Rodrigo Duterte to PALECO last November 2018, there was no improvement in the perennial brown outs. Aside from the signature campaign, Damasco said he will also file a resolution urging the Senate to conduct an investigation into the matter. “I will file a resolution asking the Senate to conduct an investigation in aid of legislation. There was a Senate investigation before that was conducted by Senator Sherwin Gatchalian but nothing happened,” Damasco said. He said he would be asking the help of newly elected Senators Bong Go and Ronald dela Rosa since he originally came from Davao province. Damasco said the incessant problem of PALECO that has been a decade old is besetting not only the entire residents in the city but of the whole province of Palawan since PALECO has the monopoly of power supply. Damasco said nothing has changed when administrator Edgardo Masongsong of National Electrification Administration (NEA) intervened in the management and operation of PALECO on 10 December 2018 to resolve the power problems by having designated Engr. Nelson Lalas as project supervisor and acting general manager. “NEA took over in the administration of PALECO. They put a new manager. We thought it would be alright. But it seemed (that) the new manager was eaten up by the rotting system. At first he was good, but it turned out as bad,” Damasco said. Damasco said the NEA is mandated under the law to exercise power to remove the sitting directors if found inefficient and not performing. “NEA can remove them, and can change them even there was no election of the electric copperative cooperative,” Damasco said. “I think that is the only way to have improvement of electricity here in Puerto Princesa and province of Palawan,” Damasco said. DPWH constructs more roads to link provinces in the country. THE water level in Angat Dam rises to 161.08 meters on Wednesday. P11.7-B earmarked for local dev’t projects Año also said that the municipal mayor, as the local chief executive shall be primarily accountable for the overall implementation of the projects A total of P11.714-billion has been earmarked this year to finance local development projects in 1,373 municipalities across the country under the Assistance to Municipalities (AM) Program of the Department of the Interior and Local Government.

Roads linking provinces ready in 2020 The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) assured the public yesterday that agency is constructing more roads that will link provinces. This was declared by the agency during the first leg of the Dagyaw 2019: Open Government and Participatory Governance Regional Dialogues that was held at the Bren Guiao Convention Center on Tuesday. DPWH said it is constructing a 68.845-kilometer Capas-Botolan Road that will reduce travel time between the provinces of Tarlac to Zambales to only one hour and 20 minutes. “This road opening project intends to directly link the provinces of Tarlac and Zambales and to serve as access road leading to New Clark City,” said DPWH Assistant Regional Director Loreta Malaluan. The P8.33 billion undertaking is one of the biggest interconnectivity projects of the agency to date. For the Visayas, Año said P1-billion is allocated for 173 projects in 136 towns of Eastern Visayas; P965-million for 169 AM projects in 117 towns of Western Visayas; and P834-million for 196 projects in 116 towns of Central Visayas. Meanwhile, for Mindanao, Año said P553-million has been appropriated to fund 103 AM projects in 103 towns of Zamboanga Peninsula; P673-million for 116 projects in 84 towns of Northern Mindanao; P304-million for 74 projects in 43 towns of Davao Region; P387-million for 71 projects in 45 LGUs of SOCCSKSARGEN; and P551-million for 76 projects in 67 LGUs of CARAGA. The DILG chief said the AM program seeks to equitably assist all municipalities in the delivery of basic services by providing a financial subsidy to municipalities for the implementation of their priority programs and projects. FTW Malaluan also said that the P922 million Pulilan-Baliuag Diversion Road will be completed in 2020. “Located in the western part of Bulacan linking the municipalities of Pulilan and Baliuag, the 9.6 kilometer four lane bypass road will divert traffic flow from the congested Pulilan-Calumpit Road-Daang Maharlika Intersection by providing an alternate route connecting the Pulilan-Calumpit Road near NLEX exit to the Baliuag section of Daang Maharlika,” she said. She added that upon completion, travel time from Pulilan-Calumpit Road to Daang Maharlika will be reduced from one hour to 30 minutes. Meanwhile, the San Rafael-San Ildelfonso-San Miguel Bypass Road will be completed by 2022. The official stated that the 22.14 kilometer four-lane bypass project aims to provide an extended alternate route from the congested Daang Maharlika from San Rafael to San Miguel.
