The annelids, which farmers call bileg, do not actually feed on crops. However, they burrow into the soil when the rice paddies are irrigated. Water flows through their burrowed paths, causing the paddies to dry up, sag and erode, eventually adversely affecting the crops.

Chosen as gubernatorial bet was Vice Gov. Diogracias Victor Savellano and his brother, board member Jerry Singson, for vice governor.


Several mayors from the province’s two districts were reportedly rooting for a Jerry Singson-Efren Rafanan ticket but the governor ruled out any of his relatives as his successor.
