BACOLOD City – Twenty Chinese investors arrived yesterday to explore possible business ventures in the city and Negros Occidental.
The businessmen expressed interest in tourism development projects, like the proposed Sum-ag river project, the organic farm in Alangilan, and the economic zones in Bacolod, said City Development Council vice chairman George Zulueta.
The city plans to initiate a sister-city relationship with the group whose members are from the Overseas Chinese Trade and Investment Mission and the Philippine-Chinese Chao Shan Youth Chamber.
Zulueta, also a member of the Bacolod Investment Board, said the city also considers an exchange of trade delegates with China.
Department of Interior and Local Government undersecretary Jesus Hinlo Jr. said the visit was a result of the Provincial Tourism Summit in this city on May 14.
Kevin Lim, president of the Philippine-Chinese Chao Shan Youth Chamber of Commerce, attended the summit.
Lim had brought delegations of potential investors to Negros Occidental, Hinlo said.
“We hope our visit will promote further cooperation between the Philippines and China,” Lim said./PN
‘NPA rebels’ burn
heavy equipment
SIATON, Negros Oriental – Suspected members of the New People’s Army (NPA) torched two heavy equipment of a construction company in Barangay Caticugan, Siaton, Negros Oriental.
Armed men on board a motorcycle barged into the quarry site of Medalla Construction owned by Medalla Yocor Sia, police investigation showed.
The armed men set a Komatsu backhoe and a payloader on fire.
Construction workers heard them shout, “Mabuhay ang (Long live) NPA!”
No one was reported killed or injured.
The municipal police, Philippine Army, Regional Public Safety Battalion, and the Provincial Public Safety Company guarded the area.
Siaton police head Inspector Varie Villanobos said they want to prevent any rebel-staged ambush, like what happened in Guihulngan City. (RMN Bacolod/PN)
