THE Department of Budget and Management (DBM) has released a total of P91.283 billion from 2021 to 2024 for the Public Health Emergency Benefits and Allowances (Pheba) for all healthcare workers, both in public and private hospitals.In a statement on Wednesday, March 20, 2024, the DBM said that the funds had been released to the Department of Health (DOH), designated as the implementing agency for distributing mandatory emergency benefits and allowances to the country’s healthcare workers.It said P12.1 billion were released in 2021, P28 billion in 2022, P31.1 billion in 2023 and P19.962 billion so far for 2024.The DBM said the funds include P73.26 billion for Health Emergency Allowance (HEA)/One Covid-19 Allowance (OCA), P12.90 billion for Special Risk Allowance (SRA), P3.65 billion for Covid-19 Sickness and Death Compensation, and P1.4 billion for other benefits, such as meal, accommodation, and transportation allowance.However, the agency said that based on the DOH report, out of the said amount, it was able to release only a total of P76 billion to pay for 8,549,207 claims from July 1, 2021, to July 20, 2023.“In a meeting held earlier this year between the DBM and the DOH, it was agreed that there is a need for the DOH to urgently finalize the computation of the HEA claims in arrears to enable the DBM to determine if additional funding requirements are necessary despite the cumulatively released Pheba allocations for our healthcare and non-healthcare workers,” the DBM said.DBM suggested that the DOH develop a HEA mapping that will capture and present all Pheba claims and payments by Region/Health Facilities for the period covered by the benefit.“The information gathered from the HEA mapping shall be used in expediting final determination of the amount of deficiency to cover the full settlement of arrears. The DBM likewise recommended that the said record be published on the DOH website for transparency to all claimants and stakeholders alike,” it said.“The DOH committed to submit the aforementioned HEA mapping with the final amount of computed Pheba deficiencies not later than March this year, subject to the DBM’s validation based on submitted documents and the amounts reflected in the Health Emergency Allowance Processing System,” it added.In a letter to DBM, Health Undersecretary Ma. Carolina Vidal-Taiño said they are yet to complete the HEA mapping where both the released funds and the remaining funds required for the aforementioned grant will be outlined.

Farmer Emelio Secretaria of Sudlon 2, Cebu City has decided to give away these tomatoes, saying that the drought brought by the El Niño weather phenomenon affected their growth, making them unsalable.

LarismaTHE unsellable conditions of his tomato harvest led to a loss of over P1 million in expected profits within a month for a farmer in Barangay Sudlon 2, Cebu City.Emelio Secretaria, former president of the Cebu City Farmers’ Federation, made rounds on social media after giving away 15,000 kilos of his tomato harvest for free. He owns a four-hectare farm in Sudlon 2.In an interview on Monday, April 22, 2024, Secretaria said that selling the tomatoes would only yield P300,000 in sales, significantly less than his farming expenses of P800,000. He, however, did not specify why his tomatoes are no longer sellable.Secretaria said his farm is affected by the ongoing drought, caused by the El Niño phenomenon. He said they do not have enough water to sustain his crops. Crops and plants need water not only to survive but also to bear good fruits.However, instead of focusing on the negative side, he said he wanted to turn the situation into something positive by giving the tomatoes for free and to prevent them from going to waste.He said that by giving them away, they wanted consumers to understand the plight of the farmers.“Gidawat namo nga pildi na. So para mapuslan pa sa mga tawo ug sa nga nanginahanglan mao amo gi-post nga ihatag namo nga libre ug aron ma-feel pud sa mga consumer kung unsay kinabuhi sa farmer,” Secretaria said.(We have accepted our loss. So that it can still be of use to people in need, that’s why we posted [on Facebook] that we will give [the tomatoes] for free. In this way, consumers can also understand the life of a farmer.)He said this was not the first time he donated his harvests for free. His family has been doing it since 2011.Among Secretaria’s beneficiaries are orphanages and educational institutions like Boys and Girls Towns. Secretaria is an alumnus of the Sisters of Mary Boys Town in Minglanilla, Cebu.He said he also lost 11 of his 15 workers as he could no longer sustain their salaries.Secretaria said that in March, he thought the water supply would not reach a critical level. He thought the heat would be a typical summer, as his workers were still able to harvest and sell some of their tomatoes.However, in April, the water supply began to decline critically, prompting them to dig some holes to search for water.Due to lack of water supply, Secretaria said they could no longer sustain their tomatoes. Other than tomatoes, they also planted ampalaya, which was also affected by the drought. He said that while they had experienced El Niño before, they were unable to prepare as the water receded rapidly by the start of April.Secretaria also owned a water impoundment from which his workers get their water for their plants. But is has already dried up but due to El Niño.He said if the drought persists, his strategy to minimize damage would involve shifting from planting hectares of land to planting by square meters.“Sugal kay na kay wa pata kabalo kon mahurot unya ang tubig. So, pildi na sad na, pero isip usa ka farmer nga naa tay obligasyon nga mo-provide og pagkaon, pildi or daug, tanom gyud ta,” Secretaria said.(It’s a gamble because we never know when the water will run out. So, it’s another setback when it happens, but as a farmer with the obligation to provide food, whether we succeed or fail, I will still plant.)He said he is willing to take the risk of still planting crops even if he is unsure how long the El Niño phenomenon will last.Meanwhile, Ciriaca Ambrad, 54, a farmer for several decades from Mantalongon, Dalaguete in southern Cebu, said their tomato harvest has not been significantly affected by the drought so far.“Nagbaligya mi kahapon og usa ka kaeng. Wa man hinuon (nadaot). Mas daot ang kamatis og ting-ulan,” she said on Monday.(We sold one crate yesterday. Fortunately, it did not get damaged. Tomatoes are more susceptible to damage during the rainy season.)“Nag-harvest sad ko last month; init na to. Mga gwapa man (I also harvested last month; it was already hot. The crops turned out good),” she added.Her daughter, Lorraine Mitzi, said the presence of springs in their location provides an alternative source of water.Aside from tomatoes, Ambrad’s family also plants chayote, beans and cabbage.“In fairness sa bukid man gud, bisan init kaayo diri, sa amo kay mag fog gihapon.

So, pildi na sad na, pero isip usa ka farmer nga naa tay obligasyon nga mo-provide og pagkaon, pildi or daug, tanom gyud ta,” Secretaria said.(It’s a gamble because we never know when the water will run out. So, it’s another setback when it happens, but as a farmer with the obligation to provide food, whether we succeed or fail, I will still plant.)He said he is willing to take the risk of still planting crops even if he is unsure how long the El Niño phenomenon will last.Meanwhile, Ciriaca Ambrad, 54, a farmer for several decades from Mantalongon, Dalaguete in southern Cebu, said their tomato harvest has not been significantly affected by the drought so far.“Nagbaligya mi kahapon og usa ka kaeng. Wa man hinuon (nadaot). Mas daot ang kamatis og ting-ulan,” she said on Monday.(We sold one crate yesterday. Fortunately, it did not get damaged. Tomatoes are more susceptible to damage during the rainy season.)“Nag-harvest sad ko last month; init na to. Mga gwapa man (I also harvested last month; it was already hot. The crops turned out good),” she added.Her daughter, Lorraine Mitzi, said the presence of springs in their location provides an alternative source of water.Aside from tomatoes, Ambrad’s family also plants chayote, beans and cabbage.“In fairness sa bukid man gud, bisan init kaayo diri, sa amo kay mag fog gihapon. (To be fair, in the countryside, even though it’s very hot here, we still experience fog),” she said. / AML, WBS licensed online casinos 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

NOT ENOUGH WATER. Farmer Emelio Secretaria of Sudlon 2, Cebu City has decided to give away these tomatoes, saying that the drought brought by the El Niño weather phenomenon affected their growth, making them unsalable. On Monday, April 22, 2024, he told SunStar Cebu that crops need water not only to survive but also to bear good fruit. Arkeen M. LarismaTHE unsellable conditions of his tomato harvest led to a loss of over P1 million in expected profits within a month for a farmer in Barangay Sudlon 2, Cebu City.Emelio Secretaria, former president of the Cebu City Farmers’ Federation, made rounds on social media after giving away 15,000 kilos of his tomato harvest for free. He owns a four-hectare farm in Sudlon 2.In an interview on Monday, April 22, 2024, Secretaria said that selling the tomatoes would only yield P300,000 in sales, significantly less than his farming expenses of P800,000. He, however, did not specify why his tomatoes are no longer sellable.Secretaria said his farm is affected by the ongoing drought, caused by the El Niño phenomenon. He said they do not have enough water to sustain his crops. Crops and plants need water not only to survive but also to bear good fruits.However, instead of focusing on the negative side, he said he wanted to turn the situation into something positive by giving the tomatoes for free and to prevent them from going to waste.He said that by giving them away, they wanted consumers to understand the plight of the farmers.“Gidawat namo nga pildi na. So para mapuslan pa sa mga tawo ug sa nga nanginahanglan mao amo gi-post nga ihatag namo nga libre ug aron ma-feel pud sa mga consumer kung unsay kinabuhi sa farmer,” Secretaria said.(We have accepted our loss. So that it can still be of use to people in need, that’s why we posted [on Facebook] that we will give [the tomatoes] for free. In this way, consumers can also understand the life of a farmer.)He said this was not the first time he donated his harvests for free. His family has been doing it since 2011.Among Secretaria’s beneficiaries are orphanages and educational institutions like Boys and Girls Towns. Secretaria is an alumnus of the Sisters of Mary Boys Town in Minglanilla, Cebu.He said he also lost 11 of his 15 workers as he could no longer sustain their salaries.Secretaria said that in March, he thought the water supply would not reach a critical level. He thought the heat would be a typical summer, as his workers were still able to harvest and sell some of their tomatoes.However, in April, the water supply began to decline critically, prompting them to dig some holes to search for water.Due to lack of water supply, Secretaria said they could no longer sustain their tomatoes. Other than tomatoes, they also planted ampalaya, which was also affected by the drought. He said that while they had experienced El Niño before, they were unable to prepare as the water receded rapidly by the start of April.Secretaria also owned a water impoundment from which his workers get their water for their plants. But is has already dried up but due to El Niño.He said if the drought persists, his strategy to minimize damage would involve shifting from planting hectares of land to planting by square meters.“Sugal kay na kay wa pata kabalo kon mahurot unya ang tubig.
