IF CEBU City Mayor Michael Rama had his way, residents of Cebu City would be able to vote for the governor.“Being the capital of the whole Cebu Island, Cebu City should not suffer disenfranchisement,” Rama said during his regular online program, “Ingna’ng Mayor,” on Tuesday, Feb. 20, 2024.The mayor, who was accompanied by his son Mikel, said he came up with the proposal to fulfill the One Cebu Island principle.However, he said there should be a status quo on the existing political and territorial boundaries between Cebu City and Cebu Province.He said Cebu City is a highly urbanized city (HUC) and must remain independent from the Provincial Government.Still, the mayor emphasized the importance of respect, collaboration, and cooperation between the two local governments units (LGUs).Rama said that as president of the League of Cities of the Philippines, he has witnessed conflicts between a mayor of an HUC and a governor due to political indifference. “I don’t want to mention nga bullyhon sila sa (that they are being bullied by the) governor just because they are independent and (different) from the component (cities). That should never be,” Rama said. “As a president of League of Cities of the Philippines, I am organizing Alce, an Association of Local Chief Executive on a friendship alliance,” he added. PreparationRama said this will allow mayors from HUCs and component cities to converge and collaborate. He said this will prepare component cities to be more competitive in local governance and later lead their constituents if they become an independent component city and an HUC. Meanwhile, Rama denied he has any plans to run for governor in the future.But he pointed out that he has relatives who had been officials in the Cebu Provincial Government, including an uncle who served as governor from 1969 to 1976 and from 1986 to 1988.“Who will stop me from running for governor if I do decide to run? I can always move to Aloguinsan,” he said, adding that his wife Malou is a resident of the southwestern town.To push forward the initiative, Rama asked his son Mikel, a lawyer, to look into the proposal and collaborate with Cebu South District Rep. Eduardo Rama Jr. for legislative measures. Mikel, who will be running for councilor in the south district in the 2025 midterm elections, explained that Batas Pambansa 51 of 1979 explicitly prohibits voters from HUCs to elect officials in the provincial government. Under the Local Government Code (LGC) of 1991, HUCs must be independent from the province.Mikel said they discovered that residents of Mandaue City were initially not able to vote in the provincial elections due to Republic Act 5519, or the Charter of the City of Mandaue City. One identityHowever, the City’s charter was amended to allow city residents for provincial officials, he said. With Cebu City celebrating its Charter Anniversary on Feb. 24, Mikel suggested using the time to review the City’s charter, as well as revisit the LGC.Mikel said Cebu City voters and provincial voters share one identity that is rooted in their devotion and faith in the Señor Sto. Niño de Cebu. “Ang mga Sugbuanon (Cebuanos) were meant to be united and to have a common heart and have common dreams and hope,” Mikel said.

The City should also install closed-circuit televisions so pedestrians will not hesitate to use them, he added.Rama earlier said skywalks have become an interim drop-in center for some mendicants.Cuenco said the City Council can also pass an ordinance penalizing street dwellers who use skywalks as shelters and repositories of human waste.He said the Prevention Restoration Order Beautification Enhancement team and Department of Social Welfare Services personnel should be asked to patrol these places and round up mendicants and transfer them to more suitable facilities.He said the City has a lot of more urgent and pressing concerns that need to be addressed like drought, water shortages, flooding, and traffic, which City officials need to focus on considering the City’s limited financial resources.Rama’s plan to remove the remaining skywalks came after two skywalks along Osmeña Blvd., the one near Fuente Osmeña Circle and the other near Cebu Normal University, were demolished last February to pave the way for the implementation of the first package of the Cebu Bus Rapid Transit (CBRT) project.The government spent over P9 million to build the two skywalks around three decades ago.Skywalks of “concern”In an earlier report of SunStar Cebu, Rama identified several skywalks which concerned him.The skywalk in Barangay Day-as has one end connected to a sidewalk, he said, while in Barangay Banilad, one side of the sidewalk ends on a sidewalk and the other end leads to a jeepney stop.

Technically speaking, the deal was not valid,” Osmeña said.However, the Provincial Government under the administration of Gov. Gwendolyn Garcia earlier insisted that it owns portions of Osmeña Blvd. “We will see each other in court,” Osmeña said, referring to the Province’s claims.“It’s all part of the Cebu Heights (Inc.) and it’s owned 100 percent by my father. Even the part of the Fuente Osmeña (Circle) is owned by my father. I even have the title for it,” he said.If the Provincial Government insists on stopping the CBRT project citing its ownership of the lot, Osmeña said he will reclaim the property.Administrative Order 253Then President Carlos Garcia signed Administrative Order 253 on Oct. 7, 1957, where he exonerated Serging, who was then governor, and three others for dishonesty and grave misconduct in office allegedly committed in connection with the execution of a deed of exchange involving certain parcels of land by and between the Province and Cebu Heights.Garcia then withheld action on the deed of exchange executed in November 1954.The exchange involved three big lots of the Province and 14 smaller lots of Cebu Heights, which formed part of two national roads in Cebu City.Meanwhile, the former mayor reacted negatively to the two resolutions passed by the Provincial Board (PB) on Monday demanding the stoppage of the CBRT implementation, and the Feb. 21 motion of the Cebu City Council, pushed by City Councilor James Anthony Cuenco, which called for the suspension of scheduled civil works for CBRT Packages 2 and 3.He said the National Government will not heed the call of the PB and City Council to halt the project’s civil works.He said both PB and the council have “no teeth” to stop the project.Osmeña said stopping the project will not solve the problem, but only worsen it.The CBRT was Osmeña’s brainchild. He had pushed for it when he was still mayor and then congressman.During the press con, he said he envisioned the CBRT to alleviate the commuting woes of residents in Barangay Talamban and Bulacao going to and from the downtown area, citing that a dedicated bus lane will be beneficial to Cebuanos who cannot acquire motor vehicles.Discussions on the proposed BRT system started during his term.In 1997, Osmeña visited Curitiba, Brazil, where the first BRT was implemented in 1974.Possible repercussionsIn 2008, the Asian Development Bank, World Bank and Overseas Economic Cooperation Fund of Japan approved the project’s pre-feasibility study, according to Osmeña.He said stopping the CBRT may result in a negative credit rating for the Philippine Government in terms of foreign financing and funding agreements with international financial institutions.“The Philippine Government will never have an international bilateral agreement because if you do that you will be blacklisted from all donors and donations around the world,” Osmeña said. “They will not spoil their international credit rating just because Councilor Cuenco and some crazy Provincial Board members start ego tripping and say we should stop CBRT.”He pointed out that the CBRT was funded not only by the World Bank but also by the French Development Agency and the Philippine Government.The CBRT took 20 years to get off the ground.The entire CBRT system is composed of three packages:Package 1 consists of a 2.38-kilometer segregated bus lane with four bus stations and 1.15 kilometers of pedestrian improvements from the Cebu South Bus Terminal to the Capitol building.Package 2 features a 10.8-kilometer segregated bus lane with 13 bus stations, including a bus terminal at the South Road Properties, a roundabout facility in Cebu IT Park, and a depot in SRP.Package 3 includes the construction of a 22.1-kilometer feeder route, with 76 bus stops including feeder terminals in Barangay Talamban in Cebu City and in Talisay City. / EHP

CEBU City Mayor Michael Rama should stop daydreaming and copying cities he has visited recently.This was the suggestion of City Councilor James Anthony Cuenco, committee on transportation chairman, after Rama announced that he wanted all 10 remaining skywalks in the city removed because they no longer served their purpose.Rama instead suggested replacing them with underpasses or underground pedestrian crossings, which he deemed to be more effective.The mayor had pointed out that Melbourne, Australia and other countries did not have skywalks.Rama took a leave of absence from Oct. 31, 2023 to Dec. 16 to be in Australia with his family.“We do not need to copy other world cities where the mayor has visited recently. We only need to use our heads,” said Cuenco in a text message to SunStar Cebu on Sunday, March 17, 2024.“He should stop daydreaming,” he said.Special purposeCuenco said skywalks were built to serve a special purpose, which was to safely allow pedestrians to cross one side of a busy thoroughfare to the other and allow traffic below to flow seamlessly without having to stop every so often.The local legislator said the solution does not require digging costly tunnels which will take years to build.He said the City only has to be “resourceful and innovative” like deploying personnel of the Department of Public Services (DPS), job order employees, and other City Hall personnel in the skywalks to ensure their proper use and cleanliness. The City should also install closed-circuit televisions so pedestrians will not hesitate to use them, he added.Rama earlier said skywalks have become an interim drop-in center for some mendicants.Cuenco said the City Council can also pass an ordinance penalizing street dwellers who use skywalks as shelters and repositories of human waste.He said the Prevention Restoration Order Beautification Enhancement team and Department of Social Welfare Services personnel should be asked to patrol these places and round up mendicants and transfer them to more suitable facilities.He said the City has a lot of more urgent and pressing concerns that need to be addressed like drought, water shortages, flooding, and traffic, which City officials need to focus on considering the City’s limited financial resources.Rama’s plan to remove the remaining skywalks came after two skywalks along Osmeña Blvd., the one near Fuente Osmeña Circle and the other near Cebu Normal University, were demolished last February to pave the way for the implementation of the first package of the Cebu Bus Rapid Transit (CBRT) project.The government spent over P9 million to build the two skywalks around three decades ago.Skywalks of “concern”In an earlier report of SunStar Cebu, Rama identified several skywalks which concerned him.The skywalk in Barangay Day-as has one end connected to a sidewalk, he said, while in Barangay Banilad, one side of the sidewalk ends on a sidewalk and the other end leads to a jeepney stop. There are also skywalks which have one end connected to a sidewalk and the other end leading to establishments.The one along Escario St. obstructs the sidewalk, he said.City Councilor Jerry Guardo, committee on infrastructure chairman, said five skywalks are expected to be affected by the CBRT construction.These are the skywalk in Barangay Pardo in front of the Sto.

CEBU City Mayor Michael Rama should stop daydreaming and copying cities he has visited recently.This was the suggestion of City Councilor James Anthony Cuenco, committee on transportation chairman, after Rama announced that he wanted all 10 remaining skywalks in the city removed because they no longer served their purpose.Rama instead suggested replacing them with underpasses or underground pedestrian crossings, which he deemed to be more effective.The mayor had pointed out that Melbourne, Australia and other countries did not have skywalks.Rama took a leave of absence from Oct. 31, 2023 to Dec. 16 to be in Australia with his family.“We do not need to copy other world cities where the mayor has visited recently. We only need to use our heads,” said Cuenco in a text message to SunStar Cebu on Sunday, March 17, 2024.“He should stop daydreaming,” he said.Special purposeCuenco said skywalks were built to serve a special purpose, which was to safely allow pedestrians to cross one side of a busy thoroughfare to the other and allow traffic below to flow seamlessly without having to stop every so often.The local legislator said the solution does not require digging costly tunnels which will take years to build.He said the City only has to be “resourceful and innovative” like deploying personnel of the Department of Public Services (DPS), job order employees, and other City Hall personnel in the skywalks to ensure their proper use and cleanliness. The City should also install closed-circuit televisions so pedestrians will not hesitate to use them, he added.Rama earlier said skywalks have become an interim drop-in center for some mendicants.Cuenco said the City Council can also pass an ordinance penalizing street dwellers who use skywalks as shelters and repositories of human waste.He said the Prevention Restoration Order Beautification Enhancement team and Department of Social Welfare Services personnel should be asked to patrol these places and round up mendicants and transfer them to more suitable facilities.He said the City has a lot of more urgent and pressing concerns that need to be addressed like drought, water shortages, flooding, and traffic, which City officials need to focus on considering the City’s limited financial resources.Rama’s plan to remove the remaining skywalks came after two skywalks along Osmeña Blvd., the one near Fuente Osmeña Circle and the other near Cebu Normal University, were demolished last February to pave the way for the implementation of the first package of the Cebu Bus Rapid Transit (CBRT) project.The government spent over P9 million to build the two skywalks around three decades ago.Skywalks of “concern”In an earlier report of SunStar Cebu, Rama identified several skywalks which concerned him.The skywalk in Barangay Day-as has one end connected to a sidewalk, he said, while in Barangay Banilad, one side of the sidewalk ends on a sidewalk and the other end leads to a jeepney stop. There are also skywalks which have one end connected to a sidewalk and the other end leading to establishments.The one along Escario St. obstructs the sidewalk, he said.City Councilor Jerry Guardo, committee on infrastructure chairman, said five skywalks are expected to be affected by the CBRT construction.These are the skywalk in Barangay Pardo in front of the Sto. Tomas de Villanueva Parish, the skywalk near the University of San Jose-Recoletos Basak campus, the skywalk near Cebu Institute of Technology-University and the skywalks in Barangays Kamputhaw and Banilad. / JJL licensed online casinos FORMER Cebu City mayor Tomas “Tommy” Osmeña has challenged the Cebu Provincial Government’s ownership of the lot along Osmeña Blvd. where the Cebu Bus Rapid Transit (CBRT) project is being implemented.During a press conference on Tuesday, March 5, 2024, he warned that if this fiasco continues, he will be forced to exercise his rights and reclaim the ownership of Osmeña Blvd., which had been donated by his late father Sergio “Serging” Osmeña Jr.Osmeña said Osmeña Blvd., which the CBRT traverses, and its surrounding premises used to belong to Cebu Heights Inc.He said his father was its president and principal stockholder.“My father gave the Province properties, in exchange for other properties, which my father did not get. Technically speaking, the deal was not valid,” Osmeña said.However, the Provincial Government under the administration of Gov. Gwendolyn Garcia earlier insisted that it owns portions of Osmeña Blvd. “We will see each other in court,” Osmeña said, referring to the Province’s claims.“It’s all part of the Cebu Heights (Inc.) and it’s owned 100 percent by my father. Even the part of the Fuente Osmeña (Circle) is owned by my father. I even have the title for it,” he said.If the Provincial Government insists on stopping the CBRT project citing its ownership of the lot, Osmeña said he will reclaim the property.Administrative Order 253Then President Carlos Garcia signed Administrative Order 253 on Oct. 7, 1957, where he exonerated Serging, who was then governor, and three others for dishonesty and grave misconduct in office allegedly committed in connection with the execution of a deed of exchange involving certain parcels of land by and between the Province and Cebu Heights.Garcia then withheld action on the deed of exchange executed in November 1954.The exchange involved three big lots of the Province and 14 smaller lots of Cebu Heights, which formed part of two national roads in Cebu City.Meanwhile, the former mayor reacted negatively to the two resolutions passed by the Provincial Board (PB) on Monday demanding the stoppage of the CBRT implementation, and the Feb. 21 motion of the Cebu City Council, pushed by City Councilor James Anthony Cuenco, which called for the suspension of scheduled civil works for CBRT Packages 2 and 3.He said the National Government will not heed the call of the PB and City Council to halt the project’s civil works.He said both PB and the council have “no teeth” to stop the project.Osmeña said stopping the project will not solve the problem, but only worsen it.The CBRT was Osmeña’s brainchild. He had pushed for it when he was still mayor and then congressman.During the press con, he said he envisioned the CBRT to alleviate the commuting woes of residents in Barangay Talamban and Bulacao going to and from the downtown area, citing that a dedicated bus lane will be beneficial to Cebuanos who cannot acquire motor vehicles.Discussions on the proposed BRT system started during his term.In 1997, Osmeña visited Curitiba, Brazil, where the first BRT was implemented in 1974.Possible repercussionsIn 2008, the Asian Development Bank, World Bank and Overseas Economic Cooperation Fund of Japan approved the project’s pre-feasibility study, according to Osmeña.He said stopping the CBRT may result in a negative credit rating for the Philippine Government in terms of foreign financing and funding agreements with international financial institutions.“The Philippine Government will never have an international bilateral agreement because if you do that you will be blacklisted from all donors and donations around the world,” Osmeña said. “They will not spoil their international credit rating just because Councilor Cuenco and some crazy Provincial Board members start ego tripping and say we should stop CBRT.”He pointed out that the CBRT was funded not only by the World Bank but also by the French Development Agency and the Philippine Government.The CBRT took 20 years to get off the ground.The entire CBRT system is composed of three packages:Package 1 consists of a 2.38-kilometer segregated bus lane with four bus stations and 1.15 kilometers of pedestrian improvements from the Cebu South Bus Terminal to the Capitol building.Package 2 features a 10.8-kilometer segregated bus lane with 13 bus stations, including a bus terminal at the South Road Properties, a roundabout facility in Cebu IT Park, and a depot in SRP.Package 3 includes the construction of a 22.1-kilometer feeder route, with 76 bus stops including feeder terminals in Barangay Talamban in Cebu City and in Talisay City. / EHP
