ALTHOUGH the construction of the Cebu Bus Rapid Transit (CBRT) project’s “Link to the Port” feature has yet to begin, several motorists and officials are already anticipating its negative effects on the traffic in the downtown area.The feature, according to CBRT project manager Norvin Imbong, will start at the intersection of P. del Rosario St./N. Bacalso Ave. and Osmeña Blvd. to M.J. Cuenco Ave. in front of the Plaza Independencia.Imbong, in a text message to SunStar Cebu on Friday, April 5, 2024, said the stretch will be improved by asphalting the road, fixing the drainage system, and installing street lights.He also clarified that no BRT buses will traverse the route.Imbong said the road will be closed once implementation starts, but its effect will only be “minimal.”“Kapag may road closure the effect is minimal kasi (If there is road closure the effect is minimal as the) asphalting will be done in the evening,” he said.Cebu City Transportation Office (CCTO) legal officer Kent Francesco Jongoy, in a chat message to SunStar Cebu on Sunday, April 7, pointed out that the “Link to the Port” feature will also include extending the sidewalk, which “will greatly affect the existing traffic flow in the area.”Jongoy said the City Government has only approved the asphalting, adding that the sidewalk extension design is still subject for approval.The road closure will start at the intersection of P. Del Rosario St./ N. Bacalso Ave. and Osmeña Blvd. to M.J. Cuenco Ave. in front of the Plaza Independencia.That stretch is one of the busiest streets in the city as it connects the downtown area to the uptown area. It is usually filled with all sorts of public utility vehicles (PUVs) as well as private vehicles.Noeh Godinez, who passes Osmeña Blvd. every day to get to his work in Lapu-Lapu City, said he welcomed the installation of street lights in the area, but he questioned the need to asphalt the road.Godinez, who rides a motorcycle to work, said the move may worsen traffic congestion.“There’s no need to destroy the road and asphalt it because there’s nothing wrong with the road in the Colon area. If they proceed with asphalting, this will only add to the existing traffic in the area,” he said in Cebuano.Another motorist was confused as to why the downtown area was included in the CBRT project when none of its roads are part of the route.“It will only cause heavy traffic, considering the narrow road in Colon area while there are so many jeepney stops and pedestrian,” said John Aguaviva.Cebu City Councilor James Anthony Cuenco, in a text message to SunStar Cebu on Sunday, said he is aware of the “Link to the Port” feature.He said he will only object to asphalting existing roads that are “evidently still in good order and condition.”He said the council learned during its executive session last Wednesday, April 3, that there was no need to destroy the existing road and apply new cement for the bus lanes along the first package route since the new cemented roads are still on the same level as those that were destroyed.“Such wasteful practice of spending public funds, not to mention the gross inconvenience it has caused the public, should be condemned and those found responsible be held accountable,” he said.Jongoy said this part of the project should have been discussed during the inception of the construction in 2023 so the CCTO could prepare a traffic management plan, particularly to address PUV routes.PUVs coming from the southern part of Cebu City, including those coming from cities of Naga and Talisay, pass by the Osmeña Blvd. and the downtown area.However, he said there will be no road closure as long as the design is not amenable to the City Government.Jongoy said some portions of Osmeña Blvd. going to the Plaza Independencia require maintenance, but since it is a national road, it is under the jurisdiction of the Department of Public Works and Highways.Imbong said on Sunday that they are still waiting for the City to approve the “Link to the Port” feature, which is in line with Cebu City’s goal to pedestrianize the city’s heritage district, which is the downtown area.On Saturday, April 6, the CBRT posted on its Facebook page that construction of the bus station near the Cebu Normal University has already started, while the infrastructure works on the foundation of the bus station near the Cebu South Bus Terminal are nearing completion. / JJL Which app is best for earning money? Philippines POPE Francis washed and kissed the feet of 12 women inmates at a Rome prison during a Holy Thursday, March 28, 2024, ritual meant to emphasize his vocation of service and humility.The 87-year-old Francis performed the ritual from his wheelchair, after recent ailments have compounded his mobility problems. The Rebibbia prison venue was outfitted to accommodate his needs: The women sat on stools on a raised-up platform, enabling the pope to move down the line with ease from his wheelchair without having to strain himself.Many of the women wept as Francis washed their feet, gently pouring water over one bared foot and patting it dry with a small towel. He finished the gesture by kissing each foot, often looking up to the woman with a smile.The Holy Thursday foot-washing ceremony is a hallmark of every Holy Week and recalls the foot-washing Jesus performed on his 12 apostles at their last supper together before he was crucified.Francis revolutionized the ritual for the Vatican by insisting, from his very first Holy Thursday as pope in 2013, to include women and people of other faiths among the 12. Previously, popes performed the ritual on Catholic men only at a Rome basilica.Francis has traveled each year to a prison, refugee center or youth detention facility to emphasize his belief that a priest’s vocation is to serve especially those most on the margins. In his brief homily, delivered off-the-cuff, Francis explained the meaning of the gesture.“Jesus humiliates himself,” Francis said. “With this gesture, he makes us understand what he had said: ‘I am not here to be served, but to serve.’”“He teaches us the path of service,” Francis said.Francis appeared in good shape at the prison, even after presiding over a long Mass earlier in the day in St. Peter's Basilica. During the morning liturgy, he delivered a lengthy homily with a set of marching orders to Rome-based priests at the start of a busy few days leading to Easter.Francis has been hobbled by a long bout of respiratory problems this winter and in recent weeks has asked an aide to read aloud his remarks to spare him the strain. On Palm Sunday, he skipped his homily altogether.But Francis seemed energized by his visit to the Rebibbia prison, where he was given a basket of vegetables grown in the prison garden as well as two liturgical stoles embroidered by the inmates.Francis, for his part, regifted a framed image of the Madonna that he had been given, saying as soon as he received it he thought of the women at Rebibbia. He also gave a big chocolate Easter egg to the young son of one of the inmates.Even with Holy Thursday events wrapped up, Francis has a busy few days coming up that will test his stamina.On Friday, he is due to travel at night to the Colosseum for the Way of the Cross procession re-enacting Christ’s crucifixion. On Saturday, he presides over an evening Easter Vigil in St. Peter’s Basilica followed a few hours later by Easter Sunday Mass in the piazza and his big noontime Urbi et Orbi (to the city and the world) speech highlighting global conflicts and disasters afflicting humanity.

AMID the lack of traffic enforcers and the challenges posed by the El Niño-induced hot weather, an official of the Cebu City Transportation Office (CCTO) has appealed to motorists to uphold road discipline among themselves.CCTO assistant head Kent Francesco Jongoy, in an interview with SunStar Cebu on Thursday, April 4, 2024, reminded motorists to adhere to traffic signs and markings and avoid other traffic violations, even in the absence of traffic enforcers, saying it is crucial for their safety and for maintaining smoother traffic flow.Caught on cameraSunStar Cebu sought an interview with Jongoy following netizens’ reactions to a contributed video posted on SunStar Cebu’s Facebook page. The video shows motorcycle drivers making U-turns despite the “No U-turn” signage along Gorordo Ave. corner Sudlon St. in Barangay Lahug, Cebu City, on Tuesday afternoon, April 2.Some netizens called out the violators, while the contributor noted that there were no enforcers seen manning the traffic or apprehending the violators.Netizens commented that the area is notorious for heavy traffic congestion during peak hours. However, there have been instances where violators continued to make U-turns despite the presence of traffic enforcers in the area.Some netizens suggested putting up fences, while others suggested equipping the city’s traffic enforcers with the Temporary Operator’s Permit (TOP) to deter these violators.TOP is the ticketing system used by the personnel of the Land Transportation Office and its deputized enforcers that includes confiscation of the driver’s license and a higher penalty than the citation ticket by CCTO.SunStar Cebu visited the area on Friday afternoon, April 5, and observed several motorcycle riders violating the “No U-turn” signage. Motorists coming from Sudlon St. or Salinas Drive were observed making sudden U-turns back toward Barangay Apas or Busay.Traffic builds up along Gorordo Ave. corner Sudlon St. as it is the intersection that leads to inner residential areas exiting toward Gorordo Ave. and Salinas Drive.The City Government has placed “No left turn” signs from Sudlon St. to Gorordo Ave. for enforcement from 6 to 9 a.m. and between 4 to 7 p.m. or during peak hours, which may have forced the exiting motorists to make the U-turn.Motorists who want to traverse Brgy. Busay or Apas during peak hours have to take a longer route by turning left from Gorordo Ave. to N. Escario St. going to Archbishop Reyes Ave. before turning left to reach Salinas Drive.Lack of manpowerJongoy said the lack of manpower to station enforcers at major thoroughfares during peak hours remains a challenge for the CCTO.He added that the intense heat of the sun, due to El Niño, has also limited traffic enforcers’ ability to man traffic in the middle of the day.Jongoy said the CCTO has reduced the hours during which enforcers are exposed to the sun, and the Traffic Management and Coordinating Council is considering allowing their patrol vehicles to regularly distribute refreshments to the enforcers in the field.The CCTO has around 400 personnel, including job order employees. Jongoy said this is a decrease from the 700-manpower count when he first joined the agency.“Ideally we need more, considering that there are many roads in the city. What we are doing right now, we are encouraging the City government to quickly implement City Ordinance 2131 and our ordinance on road closure due to construction works,” Jongoy said during an interview with “Beyond the Headlines,” SunStar Cebu’s online news and commentary program.Jongoy said that under these ordinances, it will not be the CCTO that will be responsible for managing traffic but the contractor in accordance with the traffic management plan, along with the assistance of traffic marshalls.Modernization programHe added that the CCTO has not yet completed its modernization initiative, which includes installing closed circuit television (CCTV) cameras and modern traffic lights in strategic locations. These measures will help manage and monitor daily traffic and identify violators.He said the project is still under negotiation and review before the contractor can turn the project over to the City Government. He said the City Government has around 80 intersections, 18 of which are part of Phase 1 of the modernization project, and another 27 will be included in the ongoing Phase 2 implementation.He stressed that discipline on the road not only ensures a smooth flow of traffic but it also lessens vehicular and road accidents. / EHP

POPE Francis washed and kissed the feet of 12 women inmates at a Rome prison during a Holy Thursday, March 28, 2024, ritual meant to emphasize his vocation of service and humility.The 87-year-old Francis performed the ritual from his wheelchair, after recent ailments have compounded his mobility problems. The Rebibbia prison venue was outfitted to accommodate his needs: The women sat on stools on a raised-up platform, enabling the pope to move down the line with ease from his wheelchair without having to strain himself.Many of the women wept as Francis washed their feet, gently pouring water over one bared foot and patting it dry with a small towel. He finished the gesture by kissing each foot, often looking up to the woman with a smile.The Holy Thursday foot-washing ceremony is a hallmark of every Holy Week and recalls the foot-washing Jesus performed on his 12 apostles at their last supper together before he was crucified.Francis revolutionized the ritual for the Vatican by insisting, from his very first Holy Thursday as pope in 2013, to include women and people of other faiths among the 12. Previously, popes performed the ritual on Catholic men only at a Rome basilica.Francis has traveled each year to a prison, refugee center or youth detention facility to emphasize his belief that a priest’s vocation is to serve especially those most on the margins. In his brief homily, delivered off-the-cuff, Francis explained the meaning of the gesture.“Jesus humiliates himself,” Francis said. “With this gesture, he makes us understand what he had said: ‘I am not here to be served, but to serve.’”“He teaches us the path of service,” Francis said.Francis appeared in good shape at the prison, even after presiding over a long Mass earlier in the day in St. Peter's Basilica. During the morning liturgy, he delivered a lengthy homily with a set of marching orders to Rome-based priests at the start of a busy few days leading to Easter.Francis has been hobbled by a long bout of respiratory problems this winter and in recent weeks has asked an aide to read aloud his remarks to spare him the strain. On Palm Sunday, he skipped his homily altogether.But Francis seemed energized by his visit to the Rebibbia prison, where he was given a basket of vegetables grown in the prison garden as well as two liturgical stoles embroidered by the inmates.Francis, for his part, regifted a framed image of the Madonna that he had been given, saying as soon as he received it he thought of the women at Rebibbia. He also gave a big chocolate Easter egg to the young son of one of the inmates.Even with Holy Thursday events wrapped up, Francis has a busy few days coming up that will test his stamina.On Friday, he is due to travel at night to the Colosseum for the Way of the Cross procession re-enacting Christ’s crucifixion. On Saturday, he presides over an evening Easter Vigil in St. Peter’s Basilica followed a few hours later by Easter Sunday Mass in the piazza and his big noontime Urbi et Orbi (to the city and the world) speech highlighting global conflicts and disasters afflicting humanity. (AP) licensed online casinos AMID the lack of traffic enforcers and the challenges posed by the El Niño-induced hot weather, an official of the Cebu City Transportation Office (CCTO) has appealed to motorists to uphold road discipline among themselves.CCTO assistant head Kent Francesco Jongoy, in an interview with SunStar Cebu on Thursday, April 4, 2024, reminded motorists to adhere to traffic signs and markings and avoid other traffic violations, even in the absence of traffic enforcers, saying it is crucial for their safety and for maintaining smoother traffic flow.Caught on cameraSunStar Cebu sought an interview with Jongoy following netizens’ reactions to a contributed video posted on SunStar Cebu’s Facebook page. The video shows motorcycle drivers making U-turns despite the “No U-turn” signage along Gorordo Ave. corner Sudlon St. in Barangay Lahug, Cebu City, on Tuesday afternoon, April 2.Some netizens called out the violators, while the contributor noted that there were no enforcers seen manning the traffic or apprehending the violators.Netizens commented that the area is notorious for heavy traffic congestion during peak hours. However, there have been instances where violators continued to make U-turns despite the presence of traffic enforcers in the area.Some netizens suggested putting up fences, while others suggested equipping the city’s traffic enforcers with the Temporary Operator’s Permit (TOP) to deter these violators.TOP is the ticketing system used by the personnel of the Land Transportation Office and its deputized enforcers that includes confiscation of the driver’s license and a higher penalty than the citation ticket by CCTO.SunStar Cebu visited the area on Friday afternoon, April 5, and observed several motorcycle riders violating the “No U-turn” signage. Motorists coming from Sudlon St. or Salinas Drive were observed making sudden U-turns back toward Barangay Apas or Busay.Traffic builds up along Gorordo Ave. corner Sudlon St. as it is the intersection that leads to inner residential areas exiting toward Gorordo Ave. and Salinas Drive.The City Government has placed “No left turn” signs from Sudlon St. to Gorordo Ave. for enforcement from 6 to 9 a.m. and between 4 to 7 p.m. or during peak hours, which may have forced the exiting motorists to make the U-turn.Motorists who want to traverse Brgy. Busay or Apas during peak hours have to take a longer route by turning left from Gorordo Ave. to N. Escario St. going to Archbishop Reyes Ave. before turning left to reach Salinas Drive.Lack of manpowerJongoy said the lack of manpower to station enforcers at major thoroughfares during peak hours remains a challenge for the CCTO.He added that the intense heat of the sun, due to El Niño, has also limited traffic enforcers’ ability to man traffic in the middle of the day.Jongoy said the CCTO has reduced the hours during which enforcers are exposed to the sun, and the Traffic Management and Coordinating Council is considering allowing their patrol vehicles to regularly distribute refreshments to the enforcers in the field.The CCTO has around 400 personnel, including job order employees. Jongoy said this is a decrease from the 700-manpower count when he first joined the agency.“Ideally we need more, considering that there are many roads in the city. What we are doing right now, we are encouraging the City government to quickly implement City Ordinance 2131 and our ordinance on road closure due to construction works,” Jongoy said during an interview with “Beyond the Headlines,” SunStar Cebu’s online news and commentary program.Jongoy said that under these ordinances, it will not be the CCTO that will be responsible for managing traffic but the contractor in accordance with the traffic management plan, along with the assistance of traffic marshalls.Modernization programHe added that the CCTO has not yet completed its modernization initiative, which includes installing closed circuit television (CCTV) cameras and modern traffic lights in strategic locations. These measures will help manage and monitor daily traffic and identify violators.He said the project is still under negotiation and review before the contractor can turn the project over to the City Government. He said the City Government has around 80 intersections, 18 of which are part of Phase 1 of the modernization project, and another 27 will be included in the ongoing Phase 2 implementation.He stressed that discipline on the road not only ensures a smooth flow of traffic but it also lessens vehicular and road accidents. / EHP
