''' | '''Observe ‘carrying capacity’ as Boracay open to sinkholes: DENR'''.<br> | ||
ILOILO CITY – The Mines and Geosciences Bureau of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (MGB-DENR) said the carrying capacity of Boracay island must be observed, as it is vulnerable to sinkholes. “Sinkholes are land depressions due to the removal of support underneath due to earthquake, or due to the lowering of the ground waters. These sinkholes are not found in other types of rocks but exclusively in limestone areas,” said engineer Mae Magarzo, chief of the MGB Geosciences Division during a media forum on Monday. Boracay Island, one of the world's top island destinations, is entirely limestone. Its chemical composition, which is calcium carbonate, gradually melts when it comes in contact with acid, especially acid rain. And sinkholes are formed in limestone, she said. | |||

''' | '''Police operation vs. NPA prompts classes suspension in Antique'''<br> | ||
SAN JOSE DE BUENAVISTA, Antique – Classes in eight schools in the municipality of San Remigio have been suspended indefinitely effective Monday to ensure the safety of learners and teachers when government forces conducted an operation against members of the New People’s Army (NPA). | |||
San Remigio Mayor Margarito Mission ordered the suspension of classes, to give way to the military and police operation after a firefight ensued at Sitio Gahit, Barangay Osorio II at around 12:30 p.m. Sunday. This developed when at least 16 armed men reportedly vandalized the Greenhouse Orchard and Vegetable Farm of the Office of the Provincial Agriculturist (OPA), and later on engaged responding policemen in a firefight. Two policemen were wounded in the incident which lasted for about 10 minutes. | |||
