'''PUVs protest excessive terminal fee hike in Bataan'''.<br>
'''MisOr guv calls for probe on illegal drug trade inside jail'''.<br>
BALANGA CITY, Bataan – Public utility vehicles (PUVs) on Tuesday stopped using the private terminal here in protest of alleged excessive increase in the terminal fees. Cris Mira, chairperson of the Kaisahan ng mga Sasakyang Namamasada sa Bataan (Kasakbayan), said the terminal fee hikes are untimely, especially now the country is still grappling with the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic restrictions. Passenger jeepneys, he said, have now to pay PHP35 per dispatch as compared to the previous PHP5 only per dispatch while terminal fees for mini-buses increased up to PHP80 per dispatch and for UV Express up to PHP50.
CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY - Misamis Oriental Governor Yevgeny Vicente Emano on Wednesday ordered an investigation on the provincial jail after a pregnant woman was caught trying to deliver illegal drugs inside the facility. In an interview, Emano said the foiled drug trade on Tuesday evening can be an indicator that it has been going on for quite some time now. "If they (the police) can discover it with that big (amount of illegal drugs), then it might have started small before," he said. On February 1 at 9:22 p.m., a pregnant Alyssah Ashlimar Rashid, 24, was allegedly caught by the police trying to bring in 28.5 grams of shabu with an estimated market value of PHP193,800.

The Bar examination was supposed to be held here on January 16, 23, 30, and February 6 but was postponed due to the surge of coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) cases.
