Mayor hits lack of govt aid on diesel spill

CAVITE: Mayor Jose Ricafrente of Rosario town in Cavite decried the national and provincial governments’ failure to render aid to the beleaguered municipality whose 11 barangays were severely affected by the recent diesel spill on portions of the Manila Bay.

“We don’t beg, we do our own shares, we don’t rely on others in spite of the problem [caused] to our peoples livelihood. We depend on our own people’s initiatives, supporting each other . . . we can survive” Mayor Ricafrente told The Manila Times in an interview.
