The Regional Development Council of Central Visayas should encourage local governments to carry out a containment program against a deadly pest that had been threatening the $760-million coconut industry in the country.


This was the plan of the Philippine Coconut Authority-7, which disclosed that it would soon submit a resolution calling on the RDC to encourage LGUs for the adoption of a containment program against the coconut hispine beetle, or the Brontispa Longissima Gestro.
