Vice Governor Roel Degamo has ordered the grounding of all vehicles of the Provincial Government after office hours, except when used for official purposes. {{more}}
Degamo made the order in a memorandum to all department heads last Thursday.
The memorandum was made after rumors circulated that a vehicle of the Province was spotted at a motel in Sibulan sometime last week.
Arnel Francisco, the Vice Governor’s chief of staff, said the memorandum was made to address the rumors, but said they have yet to verify if the rumors are true.
“So far, there has yet been no investigation to verify the rumor,” Francisco told the MetroPost.
Degamo is the acting governor of Negros Oriental in the absence of Gov. Agustin Perdices, who is seeking treatment for cancer in Manila.
