'Criminal negligence': Treñas mulls charges vs power barge owner
Excerpt
The city government mulls filing a string of charges such as criminal negligence against AC Energy Corp., owner of the power barge that spilled thousands of liters of bunker oil into this city’s waters following an explosion on July 3. Mayor Jerry Treñas also lamented the condition of displaced people in evacuation centers. Physical distancing was not being observed and food rations were not delivered on time, he said. Last night, however, AC Energy started transferring the evacuees to three hotels along the Sen. Benigno Aquino Jr. Avenue in Mandurriao district to address the mayor’s concerns, according to Barangay Councilman James Conlu of Barangay Bo. Obrero, Lapuz district.
