MARIVELES, Bataan— More than 100 Chinese workers in a coal-fired power plant here
have been afflicted with the dengue virus, a health official said.

According to Dr. Rosanna Buccahan, Bataan provincial health officer, the

Chinese was employees of GNPower Ltd., which operates the 600-megawatt power
plant in the coastal village of Alas-asin here.

She said 94 of the Chinese workers contracted the virus at it’s barracks inside
the plant from May to July. The remaining 24 cases were recorded this month and
most of them were taken to Pampanga Medical Specialist Hospital in Guagua town,
Pampanga province, she said.

About 400 Chinese, mostly construction workers, has been employed by

GNPower.

Health and sanitation personnel from the local government inspected the
premises of GNPower and found several feeding grounds of mosquitoes in July and
August.

“After the inspections, we declared a dengue outbreak inside the power plant,”
Buccahan said.

She said they carried out three cycles of fogging operation to destroy the
breeding grounds that were found near the workers’ barracks.

“These Chinese workers have already recovered and we asked their company
to practice preemptive measures to avoid new dengue cases [inside the plant],”
Buccahan said.

Bataan Board Member Godofredo Galicia Jr., chair of the provincial board’s
committee on health, said local health officials should monitor the dengue cases in
this town.
 “Dengue is a sanitation problem … a search and destroy campaign should be
done in all Bataan municipalities,” he said.

Apart from the Chinese workers, 278 other dengue cases have been reported
in this town this year, she said.

MANILA, Philippines – Nasa malubhang kalagayan si dating

Pangasinan Governor at dati ring Congressman Amado “Ama”
Espino Jr. matapos siyang tambangan at pagbabarilin ng hindi pa
nakilalang armadong kalalakihan na ikinasawi ng 5 bodyguard nito
sa Brgy. Magtaking, San Carlos City, kahapon ng hapon.

Base sa inisyal na ulat ng Pangasinan Provincial Police Officer

(PPO), sinabi ni PNP Spokesmen Brig. Gen. Bernard Banac, dakong
alas-4:30 ng hapon habang bumabagtas sa nasabing lugar ang
behikulo ni Banac nang bigla na lamang itong paulanan ng tubig ng
mga suspek.

Sinabi ni Banac na ang dating kongresista ng ikalimang distrito

ng Pangasinan ay nagtamo ng malubhang sugat at patuloy na
isinasalba ang buhay sa Holy Blessed Family Hospital sa San Carlos
City.

“We just learn that former governor and Cong. of Pangasinan

Amado Espino, Jr. has just been ambushed and is now fighting for
his life in a hospital in Pangasinan. All 5 of his bodyguards heroically
shielded Espino with their bodies and they all perished,” ayon
naman kay Senador Richard Gordon sa kanyang post sa Twitter.

Nakakaawa naman ang kanilang pamilya sa nangyari. Kalunos

lunos ang kanilang sinapit kaya nararapat lamang na tugisin ng
pulisya ang mga salarin upang mapanagot sila sa kasalanang
nilang ginawa.
 Si Espino ay dating napasama sa sa pagsasabing mali ang
