St. Peter & Paul Church in Ormoc City could be one of the oldest church in western Leyte if it was not reduced to rubble during the Spanish era. Erected as a parish in 1850, when it was declared by the Governor General separating Ormoc from its mother parish in Palompon. Now only a portion of the wall of the church remains the remnant of the old church here.

The suspects were identified as Geronimo Ramirez, 18 of Brgy. Cantandoy; Genesis Abecia, 18 of Brgy. Guiwan I; and Jovice Rebise and Roderic Suarez, both 17 and residing at Toril here. They were implicated in the ransacking of the administrative offices and cyber library of PIT. The suspects carted off with a truckload of computers, printers and accessories which they piled inside the dilapidated comfort room of the nearby athletic field. It is not only PIT which the group victimized but other establishments as well like Sara Lee, CKL Pawnshop and the rented apartment of the Mormon church.

Rebise pointed to his companions upon interrogation. Other cops who took part in the arrest were SPO1 Cesar Merino, PO1 Rogelio Rojas Jr., SPO2 Rolando Mahusay, and SPO1 Roger Subere, SPO2 Joel Clitar.

CODILLA ALLOTS 6.1 M FOR ANTI-DENGUE DRIVE

The Congressional office is intensifying its drive against dengue through fogging in various barangays covered by the 4^th district. Congressman Codilla allocated P 6.1 Million this time for the said activity.

Two weeks ago, the fogging operations started in Palompon Poblacion said Eddie Codilla that includes the barangays of Guiwan I, II, Central I, II, III, Ipil I,II, III and Mazawalo. They also sprayed at barangays, elementary schools, and other places possibly inhabited by adult mosquitoes. Municipal Information Officer William B. Merin said that the team also operated in a densely populated Brgy Ipil III, near Drydock area to get rid of disease-carrier mosquitoes. Recently, the team did a round to some barangays within Ormoc City.

It was learned from the Department of Health that from July 1 until October are considered as peak periods of mosquito activities. Doctors advised that by reducing outdoor exposure at dawn dusk and early evening, the dengue fever could be avoided. Another is to avoid areas where mosquitoes tend to concentrate like thus it is advisable that grassy areas, dense brush and other vegetation be mowed and removed. Mosquitoes likewise concentrate in tall grass, margins of wooded areas and other vegetation. Wearing dark colors should also be avoided because mosquitoes and other biting flies are attracted to dark green, brown, or black. They are less attracted to light colors.

Fogging is the most common practice by way of mixing Deltacide ED concentrate with kerosene or diesel and it is disperse through a hot air using swingfog fogging machine. This is effective in large scale areas like fields, barangays, towns or even densely populated areas. Deltacide ED is the only Deltamethrin in the market that has 3 active ingredients for total and maximum control against insect pest.

Another method included in this activity is the professional compressed sprayer such as Agrofog compressed sprayer in which small amount of droplet of insecticide is being dispersed. K-Othrine WG is diluted with water for surface spray treatment.

To supplement the space and surface treatment approach, larvaciding is the common day practice. Baytex EC-as a larvacides, can be applied on canals, waterways, stagnant waters and all other mosquitoes breeding place.
