Negros Occidental: No state of calamity

BACOLOD CITY — Negros Occidental Gov. Eugenio Jose Lacson said there will be no declaration of a state of calamity even as the Office of the Provincial Agriculturist reported agricultural damage of P296,150,706.64.

'No, we will not declare a state of calamity,' uttered Lacson on September 26. 'I mean, everybody has returned to almost normal conditions. Our concern now is really Kanlaon.'
