COTABATO CITY – A college dean, his nephew, and a village health worker and her husband were killed in separate attacks by still unidentified gunmen in Sultan Kudarat province on Thursday.
Diocesan priest Charlie Dorado Celeste, president of Notre Dame of Salaman College (NDSC) in Lebak town, Sultan Kudarat, posted on his social media page that Henry Acha Racho, 52, and his nephew, Erick James Moyet, were ambushed in Barangay Marigaeg of Kalamansig town.
While the Marcos administration has been exerting efforts to attract more green power developments to the market, the sector may be dealing with some hitches as the projects are now “being processed for termination” due to the companies’ failure to meet committed timelines, the agency noted Sunday.
