[Title] => Lapid in legal tussle with Malacañang anew
[Summary] => CITY OF SAN FERNANDO, Pampanga — Gov. Lito Lapid is again embroiled in a legal battle with Malacañang over control of the lucrative lahar sand quarrying in the province.

Lapid has petitioned the local court for a preliminary injunction against the MGB’s takeover of quarrying operations that earned the provincial government some P25 million last year.

[Title] => Quarrying blamed for Pampanga megadike damage
[Summary] => SAN FERNANDO CITY, Pampanga — Local officials have blamed unhampered sand quarrying for the breaching of the eastern flank of the P1.4-billion, anti-lahar megadike at the Pasig-Potrero River.
Fourth district Rep. Oscar Rodriguez who, along with local leaders, inspected the damaged section of the U-shaped, 54-kilometer megadike in Barangay Calzadang Bayu in Porac town, said floodwaters that eroded the megadike could have come from the river’s heavily quarried upper sections.
