Preview of the week's headlines
RIFT OVER BAGUL WORSENS
PDEA, prosecutors trade bribery raps
THE word war between the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) and the City Prosecutors Office in Dagupan has escalated with the former insinuating that money changed hands when the latter resolved to release arrested drug lord Datu Michael Bagul.
      
In the complaint filed by PDEA before the Regional State Prosecutor, the agency assailed the resolution and implied thatmembers of the City Prosecutor's office received a bribe for Bagul's release.
Timor Leste's 2nd top official enjoys Dagupan Bangus Fest
WITH the huge crowd that mobbed the opening of the Dagupan Bangus Festival on April 15, the presence of the second highest official of Timor Leste and his family who joined the celebration was hardly noticed.
       
But those at home watching the live coverage of the festival's opening on cable television through Urban Satellite Vision (USATV) got a closer view of Fernando La Sama De Araojo, president of the National Parliament of Timor Leste, and his family, while they jostled their way into the milling crowd.

THREE Chinese companies have qualified to bid for the construction of the P4.5-billion re-regulating pond of the San Roque Multi-purpose Dam project in San Manuel town.
      
The project, which will irrigate an additional 70,000 hectares of rice farms in the provinces of Pangasinan, Tarlac and Nueva Ecija, will be financed through a loan from the Export Import Bank of China.

E-mail a crime in Sta. Barbara

BARANGAY Lucao's street dancers topped the Gilon! Gilon! Ed Baley street dancing competition, the opening day highlight of the 2009 Bangus Festival on April 15.
