THE first package of the Cebu Bus Rapid Transit (CBRT) project may not be operational in July 2024.“Ni-commit ta’g July, pero naay stoppage nga nahitabo. Normal nga ma-delay jud, pero bisan tuod nga wala sila nakatrabaho didto, naa pa man lain nga stations nga angay trabahoon,” said Norvin Imbong, CBRT project manager, in a phone interview on Monday, March 25, 2024.(We initially said it would be operational by July, but a portion of the project has been put on hold. A delay is only normal, but even though they cannot work near the Capitol there are other stations that they can work on.)The first package covers a distance of 2.38 kilometers from the Cebu South Bus Terminal along N. Bacalso Ave. to the front of the Capitol building along Osmeña Blvd.He said they initially thought there was no problem regarding the installation of the bus station near the Capitol because Cebu City’s Cultural and Heritage Affairs Office did not alert them when they presented the plan in 2020.He said the only condition given to them was not to destroy structures with historical value.He said the bus station in question is 120 meters from the Capitol building, so they never thought they could have a violation, he added.SunStar Cebu tried to contact Vice Mayor Raymond Alvin Garcia, head of the Cultural and Heritage Affairs Commission, to verify the information, but was unable to as of press time.In response to the Feb. 27, 2024 cease and desist order issued by Gov. Gwendolyn Garcia, Imbong said they had already asked the Philippine Historical Commission for clearance to continue with the project.Despite the rift between Cebu City Mayor Michael Rama and Governor Garcia over the CBRT project, Imbong assured that they would continue with civil works.He said when they received the notice for the stoppage of construction on Province-owned lots on Osmeña Blvd. amid its potential violation of the Philippine Heritage Law for appearing to be located within the buffer zones of heritage zones, they simply transferred and worked on the bus station near the CSBT.He said the bus station near the CSBT is almost done, saying they have already installed the roofing.Meanwhile, Imbong said they respect the governor’s order, adding that it was valid because they were not able to secure a clearance. He said higher officials advised them to secure the necessary permits.He hopes to have them as soon as possible, he said.The CBRT project has been marred by several delays since its targeted implementation in 2016.The groundbreaking of Package 1, which the Cebu City Government had set for Feb. 2, 2023, was moved to Feb. 24 because President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. was only available on the latter date.The original target completion date of Package 1 was in the last quarter of 2023 only to be moved to the first quarter of 2024.The Department of Transportation initially aimed to complete the CBRT project in 2025 but moved it to 2027 due to design changes. These changes include the addition of Package 4 that will feature a dedicated lane from Bulacao to Mambaling; extension of the alignment from Ayala to Cebu IT Park; a rotunda underneath the Mambaling flyover; and the conversion of a mixed traffic lane along the coastal road at the South Road Properties and F. Vestil St.The CBRT project is one of the top priorities of the Marcos Jr. administration with a budget allocation of P28.78 billion. / AML What does sportsbook mean? Philippines MORE than 10,000 farmers in Cebu City have continued to endure the effects of the El Niño weather phenomenon since February 2024, saying they had not yet received any assistance from the City Government.Casimero Pilones, head of the Alliance of Cebu City Farmers Association, said they had been invited to executive sessions by the Cebu City Council to voice their concerns, but to date, they had not received any assistance.Asked about the situation of farmers in Cebu City during this El Niño period, Pilones said the farmers are in a very pitiful state, as there is no water available for their crops.“Ang mga farmers karon nagkinahanglan jud support sa Cebu City... Kung makapangita untag tubig nga magamit namo, kay luoy kaayo ang mga mag-uuma. Wala jud makaon,” Pilones told SunStar Cebu on Friday, April 5, 2024.(Farmers today really need the support of Cebu City to find water that we can use because the farmers are in a sorry state. They have nothing to eat.)Pilones said what farmers need now is a good amount of water supply, suggesting that the City Government could provide them with water pumps and drills so they can search for water in springs.He said they had requested materials from the Cebu City Agriculture Department (CAD) such as water tanks, hoses, barrels and sprayers, but the department had not provided them with these materials this year.He added that the farmers would like to request the City Government to provide them with high-quality seedlings, as low-quality seedlings would affect the quality of vegetables they harvest later, leading to lower prices.The Alliance of Cebu City Farmers Association is composed of 72 farmer associations, with each association having at least 200 to 300 members.NegligenceCebu City Councilor Pastor Alcover Jr., chairman of the committee on agriculture and rural development, has called for the resignation of Cebu City Agriculture Department (CAD) head Joselito Baclayon due to gross negligence of duty.In his privilege speech last Wednesday, April 3, Alcover accused Baclayon of not having plans to address the plight of farmers who are affected by the El Niño phenomenon.Alcover said there will be around 11,000 farmers, excluding their families, who will suffer from hunger due to the drought brought by the phenomenon.Unfulfilled, unspentAlcover said farmers in rural areas submitted requests for farming equipment last year, but these requests had not been fulfilled.He added that the CAD failed to utilize the allocated budget for farmers in 2023, with a significant portion remaining unspent.According to Alcover, the City Government allocated P85.9 million for farmers, but only P21 million was spent, with the remaining P64 million returned to the government treasury.He added that another P7 million, included in the P19 million Bayanihan program in 2021, was also returned to the government’s treasury. Only P12 million of the allocated amount was spent for the farmers.SunStar Cebu tried to get the side of Baclayon on the matter through text message and calls, but to no avail.Last yearAs early as March 2023, when El Niño was still just a possibility and after the Metropolitan Cebu Water District (MCWD) announced a drop in water production due to the onset of summer, Cebu City Mayor Michael Rama already ordered water supply secured for agriculture to ensure food security.The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) subsequently declared the start of the El Niño phenomenon in the Philippines on July 4, 2023, saying it may go on until the first quarter of 2024.El Niño increases the likelihood of below-normal rainfall, which could bring dry spells and drought.Baclayon said then that the CAD would identify water sources that could be used to sustain farming areas and expressed optimism that the City was prepared for the El Niño phenomenon because of earlier steps it had already taken to address the threat.Three months earlier, in April 2023, as some city farmers experienced a 60 percent plunge in their yields after the heat index in Cebu reached 41 degrees Celsius, Baclayon said half of the city’s 11,000 farmers had already received drums in which to store water, and hoses to enable farmers to connect to more distant springs or rivers.Baclayon also said farmers from Cebu City’s 28 upland barangays produce vegetables, fruit crops and livestock, among others, while Mindanao, Cebu towns and neighboring provinces are the source of the rest of the city’s food supply.This yearAs the Pagasa forecast, it indeed declared Cebu under a dry spell in the last week of February 2024, and then as undergoing drought in March 2024.Last March 26, state meteorologist Jhomer Eclarino warned that the heat index in Cebu in the coming months could go up further to the “dangerous” 51 degree Celsius level.On Thursday, the MCWD announced a 16 percent drop in its water production for April 3, 2024 to only at least 258,548 cubic meters of water.The water district said its usual daily production was 310,000 cubic meters a day before the occurrence of the El Niño.

INSTEAD of going after delinquent employers, the Social Security System (SSS) has changed its approach to encourage them to seek assistance from their respective SSS offices on how to fulfill their obligations. This, after the SSS noticed a significant number of employers, particularly in Cebu and Bohol, have yet to register their businesses under SSS in 2023.In a press conference on Wednesday, March 20, 2024, Alberto Montalbo, head of SSS Visayas Central 1 Division, discussed the rebranding of their “Race” campaign. Previously defined as “Run Against Contribution Evaders,” Race now stands for “Relief Afforded to Challenge Employers.”Montalbo said the campaign rebranding that began in 2022 and will be further strengthened in 2024, has produced more positive results than the previous Race campaign.He said the campaign aims to encourage more investors to venture, especially in Cebu, and to alleviate their fear towards SSS.Installment Montalbo said the SSS is planning to allow employers to pay their unpaid contributions through installments.This will enable employers to pay at least five percent of their total computed delinquency as downpayment. The duration of the installment payment will be assessed based on the employer’s total amount of delinquency and penalties.The new payment scheme could last up to 24 months or two years. Employers are advised to prioritize remitting SSS contributions for employees who highly need SSS benefits while availing of installment payments.Delinquents Unesco Pacarro Jr., head of the SSS legal department, reported during the press conference that around 193 employers were targeted by the Race campaign in the provinces of Cebu and Bohol in 2023.Of this number, 65 were discovered to have failed to register their businesses under SSS, 40 fully paid their delinquencies, 10 chose to partially pay their unpaid contributions, and five were found to have closed their companies.As a result of the Race campaign, an estimated P36 million worth of unpaid contributions or delinquencies from employers were recorded.Montalbo said as of March, the SSS already collected P30 million of the P36 million unpaid contributions from employers.Criminal cases for violation of Republic Act 1161, or the SSS Law, were also filed against nine out of the 193 employers; while the rest of the employers availed of installment, restructuring, and condonation programs offered by SSS to settle their contribution disputes.Employers who violate the SSS law may be fined up to P500,000 or face a minimum of six months imprisonment, or both, depending on the court’s decision. The law requires employers to register their business under SSS, report their employees from the first day of their employment, and pay their contribution a month after employment.Race 2024From January to March 2024, 56 employers were subjected to Race operations in the cities of Cebu, Mandaue, Lapu-Lapu and Talisay.The operations recorded roughly P9.6 million in delinquencies and also identified non-SSS registered companies.On Wednesday, a simultaneous Race operation was conducted across five SSS branches in the cities of Cebu, Mandaue, Lapu-Lapu, Talisay and the Cebu-North Reclamation Area.The operation found that a computer supplier company based in Mandaue was the most delinquent with 17 employees, surpassing P1 million in SSS delinquencies since 2019.The SSS ended the press conference by reminding employers to prioritize their employees’ future by providing them with SSS benefits.The SSS said this would be advantageous to the company in the long run, as it would encourage employees to stay and perform their best for the company. / HIC

These changes include the addition of Package 4 that will feature a dedicated lane from Bulacao to Mambaling; extension of the alignment from Ayala to Cebu IT Park; a rotunda underneath the Mambaling flyover; and the conversion of a mixed traffic lane along the coastal road at the South Road Properties and F.

MORE than 10,000 farmers in Cebu City have continued to endure the effects of the El Niño weather phenomenon since February 2024, saying they had not yet received any assistance from the City Government.Casimero Pilones, head of the Alliance of Cebu City Farmers Association, said they had been invited to executive sessions by the Cebu City Council to voice their concerns, but to date, they had not received any assistance.Asked about the situation of farmers in Cebu City during this El Niño period, Pilones said the farmers are in a very pitiful state, as there is no water available for their crops.“Ang mga farmers karon nagkinahanglan jud support sa Cebu City... Kung makapangita untag tubig nga magamit namo, kay luoy kaayo ang mga mag-uuma. Wala jud makaon,” Pilones told SunStar Cebu on Friday, April 5, 2024.(Farmers today really need the support of Cebu City to find water that we can use because the farmers are in a sorry state. They have nothing to eat.)Pilones said what farmers need now is a good amount of water supply, suggesting that the City Government could provide them with water pumps and drills so they can search for water in springs.He said they had requested materials from the Cebu City Agriculture Department (CAD) such as water tanks, hoses, barrels and sprayers, but the department had not provided them with these materials this year.He added that the farmers would like to request the City Government to provide them with high-quality seedlings, as low-quality seedlings would affect the quality of vegetables they harvest later, leading to lower prices.The Alliance of Cebu City Farmers Association is composed of 72 farmer associations, with each association having at least 200 to 300 members.NegligenceCebu City Councilor Pastor Alcover Jr., chairman of the committee on agriculture and rural development, has called for the resignation of Cebu City Agriculture Department (CAD) head Joselito Baclayon due to gross negligence of duty.In his privilege speech last Wednesday, April 3, Alcover accused Baclayon of not having plans to address the plight of farmers who are affected by the El Niño phenomenon.Alcover said there will be around 11,000 farmers, excluding their families, who will suffer from hunger due to the drought brought by the phenomenon.Unfulfilled, unspentAlcover said farmers in rural areas submitted requests for farming equipment last year, but these requests had not been fulfilled.He added that the CAD failed to utilize the allocated budget for farmers in 2023, with a significant portion remaining unspent.According to Alcover, the City Government allocated P85.9 million for farmers, but only P21 million was spent, with the remaining P64 million returned to the government treasury.He added that another P7 million, included in the P19 million Bayanihan program in 2021, was also returned to the government’s treasury. Only P12 million of the allocated amount was spent for the farmers.SunStar Cebu tried to get the side of Baclayon on the matter through text message and calls, but to no avail.Last yearAs early as March 2023, when El Niño was still just a possibility and after the Metropolitan Cebu Water District (MCWD) announced a drop in water production due to the onset of summer, Cebu City Mayor Michael Rama already ordered water supply secured for agriculture to ensure food security.The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) subsequently declared the start of the El Niño phenomenon in the Philippines on July 4, 2023, saying it may go on until the first quarter of 2024.El Niño increases the likelihood of below-normal rainfall, which could bring dry spells and drought.Baclayon said then that the CAD would identify water sources that could be used to sustain farming areas and expressed optimism that the City was prepared for the El Niño phenomenon because of earlier steps it had already taken to address the threat.Three months earlier, in April 2023, as some city farmers experienced a 60 percent plunge in their yields after the heat index in Cebu reached 41 degrees Celsius, Baclayon said half of the city’s 11,000 farmers had already received drums in which to store water, and hoses to enable farmers to connect to more distant springs or rivers.Baclayon also said farmers from Cebu City’s 28 upland barangays produce vegetables, fruit crops and livestock, among others, while Mindanao, Cebu towns and neighboring provinces are the source of the rest of the city’s food supply.This yearAs the Pagasa forecast, it indeed declared Cebu under a dry spell in the last week of February 2024, and then as undergoing drought in March 2024.Last March 26, state meteorologist Jhomer Eclarino warned that the heat index in Cebu in the coming months could go up further to the “dangerous” 51 degree Celsius level.On Thursday, the MCWD announced a 16 percent drop in its water production for April 3, 2024 to only at least 258,548 cubic meters of water.The water district said its usual daily production was 310,000 cubic meters a day before the occurrence of the El Niño. licensed online casinos INSTEAD of going after delinquent employers, the Social Security System (SSS) has changed its approach to encourage them to seek assistance from their respective SSS offices on how to fulfill their obligations. This, after the SSS noticed a significant number of employers, particularly in Cebu and Bohol, have yet to register their businesses under SSS in 2023.In a press conference on Wednesday, March 20, 2024, Alberto Montalbo, head of SSS Visayas Central 1 Division, discussed the rebranding of their “Race” campaign. Previously defined as “Run Against Contribution Evaders,” Race now stands for “Relief Afforded to Challenge Employers.”Montalbo said the campaign rebranding that began in 2022 and will be further strengthened in 2024, has produced more positive results than the previous Race campaign.He said the campaign aims to encourage more investors to venture, especially in Cebu, and to alleviate their fear towards SSS.Installment Montalbo said the SSS is planning to allow employers to pay their unpaid contributions through installments.This will enable employers to pay at least five percent of their total computed delinquency as downpayment. The duration of the installment payment will be assessed based on the employer’s total amount of delinquency and penalties.The new payment scheme could last up to 24 months or two years. Employers are advised to prioritize remitting SSS contributions for employees who highly need SSS benefits while availing of installment payments.Delinquents Unesco Pacarro Jr., head of the SSS legal department, reported during the press conference that around 193 employers were targeted by the Race campaign in the provinces of Cebu and Bohol in 2023.Of this number, 65 were discovered to have failed to register their businesses under SSS, 40 fully paid their delinquencies, 10 chose to partially pay their unpaid contributions, and five were found to have closed their companies.As a result of the Race campaign, an estimated P36 million worth of unpaid contributions or delinquencies from employers were recorded.Montalbo said as of March, the SSS already collected P30 million of the P36 million unpaid contributions from employers.Criminal cases for violation of Republic Act 1161, or the SSS Law, were also filed against nine out of the 193 employers; while the rest of the employers availed of installment, restructuring, and condonation programs offered by SSS to settle their contribution disputes.Employers who violate the SSS law may be fined up to P500,000 or face a minimum of six months imprisonment, or both, depending on the court’s decision. The law requires employers to register their business under SSS, report their employees from the first day of their employment, and pay their contribution a month after employment.Race 2024From January to March 2024, 56 employers were subjected to Race operations in the cities of Cebu, Mandaue, Lapu-Lapu and Talisay.The operations recorded roughly P9.6 million in delinquencies and also identified non-SSS registered companies.On Wednesday, a simultaneous Race operation was conducted across five SSS branches in the cities of Cebu, Mandaue, Lapu-Lapu, Talisay and the Cebu-North Reclamation Area.The operation found that a computer supplier company based in Mandaue was the most delinquent with 17 employees, surpassing P1 million in SSS delinquencies since 2019.The SSS ended the press conference by reminding employers to prioritize their employees’ future by providing them with SSS benefits.The SSS said this would be advantageous to the company in the long run, as it would encourage employees to stay and perform their best for the company. / HIC
