FOR A local antique dealer in Cebu City, religious items and antiques should belong to churches, claiming that religious items offered and displayed in antique shops are often stolen artifacts.Raphael Ojales, co-owner of Raphael’s Antiques, an antique store that opened in the 1990s located in Barangay Kamputhaw, said his shop avoids acquiring and selling religious items because of the sensitive nature of the items. He also believes that religious items should be in churches.“I really don’t deal with or focus on church (antiques). It’s a really sensitive topic,” said Ojales in an interview with SunStar Cebu on Monday, March 4, 2024.Ojales acknowledged the recent issue surrounding the ownership of the pulpit panels of the Archdiocesan Shrine of the Nuestra Señora Patrocinio de Maria Santisima in Boljoon, Cebu, and says this is among the reasons he avoids acquiring and selling religious items. After decades of being missing since these were reported stolen in the 1980s, the four wooden panels that belong to the Archdiocesan Shrine of the Nuestra Señora Patrocinio de Maria Santisima in Boljoon, Cebu resurfaced on Feb. 14, 2024.These resurfaced after being donated by a private collector to the National Museum of the Philippines (NMP). The town of Boljoon has urged the NMP to return the four pulpit panels to reclaim a significant part of its cultural and religious heritage. The NMP, for its part, said the panels are “legitimately procured.”Ojales added that there is a possibility that there are people within the church who could be tempted to take a religious item.“Well, it’s clear naman for church items kinawat g’yud na (were stolen). I mean they’re made exclu­sively for the church,” said Ojales.Ojales said he was advised by his father to deal only with vintage furniture and other items, instead of religious items.Raphael’s Antiques is a shop that was originally located on General Maxilom Avenue but closed in 2014 when Ojales’ mother got sick. The antique shop reopened in 2020 and has been moved to its current location. The shop curates vintage items such as furniture, lamps and other household decorations.Ojales said they acquire antique pieces by traveling and visiting ancestral homes of people and inquiring about vintage pieces that are available for sale or having canvassers in other areas inquire for them. He said he has canvassers in other municipalities in Cebu, such as Balamban and areas outside the province like Bohol.Ojales said when it comes to items like furniture and other pieces, authentications are not often necessary because they are obtained from individuals who are elderly and are genuinely from older eras. However, art pieces, particularly those with signatures, require authentication through a certificate of authenticity. / RJM Is there a basketball World Cup? Philippines CEBU City Mayor Michael Rama was not pleased with the move of Cebu Governor Gwendolyn Garcia and her nephew, Cebu City Vice Mayor Raymond Alvin Garcia, who both called for a halt of the civil works for the Cebu Bus Rapid Transit (CBRT) project.Rama said the governor should not meddle in the city project.“Dili mag-apil apil ang gobernador,” he said.Rama said the move of the vice mayor, meeting with his aunt Governor Garcia and discussing matters about CBRT, was a stab on the back.Rama said he was quite unhappy with Vice Mayor Garcia’s privilege speech, saying he did not even like the Capitol's measure, which issued a memorandum in relation to the CBRT.He said Vice Mayor Garcia’s speech is a matter that could be discussed privately.Rama said the matter is also his concern, considering he is also into preserving heritage.Through a memorandum, Governor Garcia told the contractor of the CBRT to cease all civil works within Capitol-owned lots due to the alleged lack of a documentary permit.In a now-deleted post on the Provincial Government’s social media arm on Tuesday night, February 27, 2024, Garcia issued Memorandum 16-2024 ordering Hunan Road and Bridge Construction Group Ltd. to immediately stop the construction of the bus station in front of the Capitol building along Osmeña Blvd. in Cebu City.Vice Mayor Garcia, in a privilege speech during the regular session on Wednesday, February 28, echoed his aunt's call, calling for the stoppage of the civil works pertaining to the CBRT project along Osmeña Boulevard due to lack of permits coming from the NHCP.In his speech, the vice mayor requested the Cebu City Office of the Building Official to issue a cease-and-desist order against the contractor responsible for the offending design.He proposed that the contractor halt construction until a better design can be submitted and proposed to the appropriate bodies, including but not limited to the National Commission on Culture and Arts, the Cultural and Historical Affairs Office of Cebu City (CHAC), and the Cebu City Council.He also urged CHAC to collaborate with their counterparts in the Province of Cebu to explore alternative designs, ensuring they are more complimentary and in conformity with existing laws and policies.

The strike is scheduled to start on Monday, April 15, 2024, in protest of the government’s Public Utility Vehicle Modernization Program (PUVMP), which has an upcoming deadline for traditional jeepney operators’ consolidation.Greg Perez, leader of Pagkakaisa ng mga Samahan ng Tsuper at Opereytor Nationwide (Piston) in Cebu, said they will instead hold protests on major roads in Metro Cebu and outside the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) 7 office in Cebu City. After the protests, they will continue driving their traditional jeepneys and serving their routes, Perez told SunStar Cebu on Thursday, April 11.Piston Cebu has over 500 drivers and operators as members.“Padayon ang among paglaban sa mga kaigsonan drayber ug mga opereytor para sa pangkabuhayan... ug ang ilahang pamilya pud nga makulban unya og kaldero,” Perez said.

This consolidation will later require the replacement of traditional jeepneys with modern units featuring Euro 4-compliant or electric engines to reduce pollution.Piston Cebu has said its call to scrap the PUVMP remains, as the program forces traditional jeepney operators to not only give up their individual franchises and vehicles but also to buy, using debt, what he called imported, expensive, non-sustainable and frail vehicles, which the operators and drivers would now struggle to pay for.President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. affirmed on Wednesday, April 10, that the April 30 deadline for PUV consolidation is final. Marcos maintains that the PUVMP will not burden drivers and operators, as the National Government offers subsidies for those acquiring modern jeepneys. The program provides drivers/operators with a government subsidy between P200,000 and P300,000 per vehicle and assists with bank financing.Piston and Manibela previously held a transport strike in January over the same issue.A modern PUV (MPUV) can cost around P2.7 million, which means that if acquired through government banks that provide a seven-year term for loans to purchase MPUVs, the monthly amortization would work out to around P30,000. As of March 2024, the LTFRB Central Office reported, 80 percent of PUVs nationwide had complied with the consolidation policy. Philippine National Police (PNP) spokesperson Col. Jean Fajardo announced in a press conference at Camp Crame that the PNP is prepared to assist commuters affected by the transport strike. / EHP, TPM / SunStar Philippines
