‘Be always prepared and pray’

BACOLOD CITY: Negros Occidental Gov. Alfredo Maranon Jr., on Friday called on Negrenses to “be always prepared and pray” after a 6.5 earthquake hit Eastern Visayas that caused only minimal effect on the province with a few hours power interruption.

“The effects in the province were minimal,” Maranon said, “but the best way to be prepared for any calamity is to be like a Boy Scout.”
