Philippines: Mayor lifts Roxol suspension

La Carlota City mayor Luis Jalandoni III on Thursday lifted the cease and
desist order he issued against Roxol Bioenergy Corp., a subsidiary of Roxas
Holdings Inc. in Nagasi, La Carlota City, Negros Occidental

"In a memorandum, Mayor Jalandoni noted that the lifting of the CDO, which
takes effect immediately, is based on the results of the city governments
unit's inspection and verification of the mitigating measures that RBC
implemented since the time of the closure up to the present," Roxas Holdings
said in a disclosure.

The mayor issued the 30-day suspension order on Sept. 9 to the bioethanol
plant of Roxol because of alleged foul odor.

"The lifting order, served today [Thursday], also directed RBC to
appropriately inform the Office of the City Mayor upon resumption of its
operations," it said.

The local government earlier said the order could be lifted as soon as Roxol
Bioenergy demonstrated a substantial mitigation of the complained odor.

The Roxol ethanol facility, which started production in 2011, is capable of
producing 30 million liters of ethanol annually. Roxas Holdings also owns
another ethanol plant, San Carlos Bioenergy, in San Carlos City, Negros
Occidental.
