SP
nods power, water buy-back
By
KIT BAGAIPO | | | The
Sangguniang Panlalawigan (SP) unanimously granted "blanket authority"
to Gov. Erico Aumentado to negotiate for the reacquisition of the water and power
utilities controlled by majority shareholder Salcon group during a special conference
last Monday at the Bohol Beach Club in Panglao town.
This,
in effect, provides the governor a freehand to "take appropriate action"
on what he deems necessary to protect the welfare of the consumers of Bohol Water
Utilities Inc. (BWUI) and Bohol Light Company Inc. (BLCI).

CHRISTMAS| | |  | | It
is a good thing to observe Christmas Day. The mere marking of times and seasons,
when men agree to stop working and make merry together, is a wise and wholesome
custom. |
It
helps one feel the supremacy of the common life over the individual life. It reminds
a man to set his own little watch, now and then, by the great clock of humanity
which runs on sun's time.
