DESPITE Cebu City Councilor Pastor Alcover Jr.’s call for the resignation of City Agriculture Department (CAD) head Joelito Baclayon due to alleged ineffectiveness, Cebu City Mayor Michael Rama reiterated his decision to retain Baclayon, citing his management prerogative.Meanwhile, the Metropolitan Cebu Water District (MCWD), under lawyer Jose Daluz III, deployed mobile siphon trucks (MST) to mountain barangays.“It is only a call, but the mayor wants him to stay. They can have their call, but I have my management prerogative,” Rama said in a press conference on Monday, April 8, 2024.Asked if he is satisfied with Baclayon’s performance, Rama said he knew his department heads more than anyone else.In his privilege speech on April 3, Alcover accused Baclayon of lacking plans to address the plight of farmers in the city affected by the El Niño phenomenon. He noted that requests for farming equipment made by farmers last year allegedly remained unfulfilled.When asked about the distribution of water hoses and barrels to farmers, Rama said they had been distributing these ever since.However, in a prior interview with Casimero Pilones, head of the Alliance of Cebu City Farmers Association, Pilones said they have not received any assistance from the City Government this year.He said the farmers are in a dire situation, noting the lack of water for their crops.Pilones also suggested that the city could just provide them with drills so they could look for new sources of water, particularly in springs.However, Rama assured that part of their long-term plan is to search for new water sources, emphasizing hoses and barrels would not be much of a problem.Rama added that a private institution has committed to providing 11 water tankers, which the city can use to store water once they find new sources.MST deploymentMeanwhile, in a statement released on Monday, April 8, MCWD said that in collaboration with the City government, it had deployed two mobile siphon tanks (MSTs) in barangays Cambinocot and Bonbon to mitigate the impact of the El Niño phenomenon in the mountain barangays of Cebu City.The truck-mounted MST in Cambinocot, valued at approximately P15 million, can produce up to seven cubic meters of potable water per hour or 168 cubic meters of water per day. Similarly, the stationary MST in Bonbon, valued at P7.5 million, can produce up to 20 cubic meters of potable water per hour or 480 cubic meters of water per day.Both MSTs were donated to MCWD by the Japan International Cooperation Agency in 2016.The water from these units can be shared with residents of Pulangbato, Binaliw, Sirao, Buot, Pamutan, Sapangdaku and Babag, providing potable water to these areas. All other barangays are also permitted to collect water from these MSTs. The Cebu City government will cover the fuel expenses for operating the machines and the expenses of the personnel from barangays, and the Cebu City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office will ensure the security of the MSTs.MCWD has deployed personnel to operate the machines and will cover expenses for purifying agents in these areas.These mountain barangays are currently not served by MCWD, as distribution lines are yet to be installed. / AML Who is the best filipino soccer player?

THE continued lack of a septage treatment facility inside the male dormitory of the Cebu City Jail (CCJ), which is home to almost 9,000 persons deprived of liberty (PDL), is an environmental disaster waiting to happen.City Councilor Nestor Archival said a budget of around P100 million was allocated for a sewage treatment plant to collect and treat wastewater at the facility during the term of the late mayor Edgardo Labella.However, the project has yet to be bid out four years after it was proposed, Archival told SunStar Cebu’s online news and commentary program “Beyond the Headlines” on Monday, March 25, 2024. The CCJ male dormitory is located in the uptown barangay of Kalunasan across the Cebu Provincial Detention and Rehabilitation Center (CPDRC). Both facilities are close to the Guadalupe River.On Feb. 21, 2024, a motion was carried in the City Council for the executive department to prioritize the construction of the wastewater treatment facility at the CCJ.“Naa gyud na gilabay sa kanal or padulong sa river, so it’s really a disaster. Timan-i kanang Guadalupe River kay usa na sa gikuhaan nato og water kay naa nay tubig sa ilawom,” Archival said. (Some of the wastewater is thrown directly into the canal or river, so it’s really a disaster. Take note that Guadalupe River is one of the places where we take our water because there is water beneath.)He said the septic tank at the male dormitory is already full, and overflows whenever one of the PDL goes to the bathroom. “Imagine, there are 9,000 PDL who use the CR (comfort room) twice or thrice in one day and all of this are going down into the canal, going down to the river,” he said in a mix of Cebuano and English.The local legislator said the CCJ has been forced to discharge wastewater into bodies of water despite potential violations of environmental laws. “How are you going to manage? If you don’t release the waste in one week, the whole facility will be covered in human waste,” he said in a mix of Cebuano and English.At the start of the 16th City Council in 2022, Archival said he passed a resolution that created a technical working group (TWG) led by City Councilor Francis Esparis, chairman of the committee on social service, to fast-track the bidding process. “Until now, hapit na lang mag-eleksyon (with the next election already near), that bidding has not been conducted,” Archval said. He said he received an unverified report that 50 percent of the project’s budget was realigned to other programs. Archival said he could not validate the report due to the inefficient workflow and process at City Hall in terms of following up on paperwork and documents. During Labella’s term, the male dormitory was described to be in a “state of disaster” due to the lack of an adequate sewage treatment facility, he said.He said the vice mayor now Mayor Michael Rama had tasked him to allocate funding for the project.SunStar Cebu tried to contact CCJ information officer JO1 Thea Bation for comment, but to no avail.In 2018, a complaint was lodged before the Cebu City Environment and Natural Resources regarding a “persistent pungent smell” from the CCJ posing health and environmental risks to inmates and nearby residents.In 2019, the Environmental Management Bureau 7 of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources 7 issued a cease and desist order to the CCJ for failing to meet wastewater standards. It recommended overhauling and retrofitting the facility’s wastewater system.Reactive Meanwhile, Archival described the City Government’s approach to problems as “reactive,” citing the City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office’s (CDRRMO) recent resolution that declared 28 upland barangays under a state of calamity. He pointed out that advisories and warnings on the dry spell were publicized a year ago, but the City Government did not capitalize on these to prepare to secure a steady source of water. Farmers from upland barangays struggle to plant crops due to the lack of water, he said. Without water, farmers have fewer produce to sell, adding to their financial burden.Once the council approves the CDRRMO’s declaration, affected barangays can use their calamity funds, while the City Government can use the P600 million in its calamity and quick response fund and the P100 million under the Local Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Fund for necessary programs to address the problem. “Karon nangayo na og tubig ang kabukiran. Instead nga ang bukid ang source sa atong tubig, ang bukid na ang nangayo og tubig nato diri sa ubos,” Archival said. (The mountain barangays are now asking us in the lowlands for water when they are supposed to be the source of our water.)Archival said the City Government could have pushed for the construction of gabion dams upstream and retention ponds to store water during downpours. During the interview on “Beyond the Headlines,” Archival also expressed his concern over the non-issuance of excavation permits to the Metropolitan Cebu Water District (MCWD) for its pipeline activities.He said he withdrew his resolution to ask the mayor to grant MCWD’s request because other council members are questioning the validity of the water district’s contract with a private supplier.Archival has announced that he might run for mayor in the midterm elections in 2025 with former mayor Tomas Osmeña as his running mate. However, the minority floor leader said his final decision will rest on securing enough financial support to fuel a campaign. / EHP

SEVERAL mountain barangays in Cebu City are suffering from a lack of water and experiencing incidents of bush fires as a result of the dry hot season.This prompted the City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (CDRRMC) to pass a resolution declaring 28 barangays under a state of calamity following the adverse impact of the weather phenomenon El Niño on the farmers in these areas.These include the barangays of Budlaan, Binaliw, Paril, Taptap, Pulangbato, Guba, Cambinocot, Pamutan, Sirao, Sapangdaku, Sudlon 1, Sudlon 2, Bonbon, Buot, and Tagbao.City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (CDRRMO) head Harold Alcontin, in a phone interview on Sunday, March 24, 2024, said over 500 farmers have stopped planting their usual crops due to damage caused by the lack of water which is a result of the dry spell.He was unable to provide a complete list of affected barangays.In an earlier report, City Agriculturist Joelito Baclayon said there are 115 hectares of farm lands in the 28 barangays affected by the extreme weather condition as of March.There are currently 10,719 registered farmers in Cebu City growing lettuce, cabbages, cauliflower, cucumber, eggplants, sweet corn and tomatoes, among others.According to a previous SunStar report, Cebu City’s agriculture industry could produce between P500,000 to P1 million worth of crops daily. The figures could go as high as more than a million a day during peak season.“We have to act now. We will not wait for the worse to come,” Alcontin said in a mix of Cebuano and English.Alcontin said the CDRRMC resolution has been endorsed to the office of City Councilors Phillip Zafra and Joel Garganera for the City Council to adopt it.Once the council declares these barangays under a state of calamity, Alcontin said the barangays can use their calamity funds, while the City Government can use its Local Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Fund (LDRRMF).He said the City currently has P600 million in its calamity and quick response fund and P100 million in its LDRRMF.He said Mayor Michael Rama instructed them to first use the P100 million LDRRMF, considering it’s only the first quarter of the year.The City Agriculture Department (CAD) has prepared P97 million which will be used for assistance to the farmers.SunStar Cebu tried to reach Baclayon on Sunday to get more details, but to no avail.Alcontin said one of the measures they are implementing now is distributing water in the mountain barangays.He said they are also coordinating with the Metropolitan Cebu Water District to deploy their trucks for water rations in Barangays Buot and Pulangbato.In previous reports, Baclayon said 40 percent of the city’s food supply come from its mountain barangays.Alcontin said one of their assignments is to ensure that the city’s food supply is not hampered, hence the declaration of a state of calamity.Alcontin said the CAD and the Department of Veterinary Medicine and Fisheries are also tasked to ensure food supplies in the city remain stable amid the El Niño.The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) declared on Friday, March 22, the start of the “Philippine Summer.”Alfredo Quiblat Jr., chief of Pagasa Visayas, earlier announced that Cebu has officially been under a dry spell since the last week of February.A dry spell refers to three consecutive months of below-normal rainfall, or a drop of 21 percent to 60 percent, or two consecutive months of way below-normal rainfall, or a drop of more than 60 percent.The El Niño phenomenon leads to decreased precipitation or, in some cases, a complete absence of rainfall, which can significantly impact crop yields and pose various environmental and economic challenges.Pagasa also warned that the phenomenon may persist until the end of May. / JJL Who is the best filipino soccer player? .

They can have their call, but I have my management prerogative,” Rama said in a press conference on Monday, April 8, 2024.Asked if he is satisfied with Baclayon’s performance, Rama said he knew his department heads more than anyone else.In his privilege speech on April 3, Alcover accused Baclayon of lacking plans to address the plight of farmers in the city affected by the El Niño phenomenon. He noted that requests for farming equipment made by farmers last year allegedly remained unfulfilled.When asked about the distribution of water hoses and barrels to farmers, Rama said they had been distributing these ever since.However, in a prior interview with Casimero Pilones, head of the Alliance of Cebu City Farmers Association, Pilones said they have not received any assistance from the City Government this year.He said the farmers are in a dire situation, noting the lack of water for their crops.Pilones also suggested that the city could just provide them with drills so they could look for new sources of water, particularly in springs.However, Rama assured that part of their long-term plan is to search for new water sources, emphasizing hoses and barrels would not be much of a problem.Rama added that a private institution has committed to providing 11 water tankers, which the city can use to store water once they find new sources.MST deploymentMeanwhile, in a statement released on Monday, April 8, MCWD said that in collaboration with the City government, it had deployed two mobile siphon tanks (MSTs) in barangays Cambinocot and Bonbon to mitigate the impact of the El Niño phenomenon in the mountain barangays of Cebu City.The truck-mounted MST in Cambinocot, valued at approximately P15 million, can produce up to seven cubic meters of potable water per hour or 168 cubic meters of water per day. Similarly, the stationary MST in Bonbon, valued at P7.5 million, can produce up to 20 cubic meters of potable water per hour or 480 cubic meters of water per day.Both MSTs were donated to MCWD by the Japan International Cooperation Agency in 2016.The water from these units can be shared with residents of Pulangbato, Binaliw, Sirao, Buot, Pamutan, Sapangdaku and Babag, providing potable water to these areas. All other barangays are also permitted to collect water from these MSTs. The Cebu City government will cover the fuel expenses for operating the machines and the expenses of the personnel from barangays, and the Cebu City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office will ensure the security of the MSTs.MCWD has deployed personnel to operate the machines and will cover expenses for purifying agents in these areas.These mountain barangays are currently not served by MCWD, as distribution lines are yet to be installed. / AML What are the top 10 ways to make money online? .

SEVERAL mountain barangays in Cebu City are suffering from a lack of water and experiencing incidents of bush fires as a result of the dry hot season.This prompted the City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (CDRRMC) to pass a resolution declaring 28 barangays under a state of calamity following the adverse impact of the weather phenomenon El Niño on the farmers in these areas.These include the barangays of Budlaan, Binaliw, Paril, Taptap, Pulangbato, Guba, Cambinocot, Pamutan, Sirao, Sapangdaku, Sudlon 1, Sudlon 2, Bonbon, Buot, and Tagbao.City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (CDRRMO) head Harold Alcontin, in a phone interview on Sunday, March 24, 2024, said over 500 farmers have stopped planting their usual crops due to damage caused by the lack of water which is a result of the dry spell.He was unable to provide a complete list of affected barangays.In an earlier report, City Agriculturist Joelito Baclayon said there are 115 hectares of farm lands in the 28 barangays affected by the extreme weather condition as of March.There are currently 10,719 registered farmers in Cebu City growing lettuce, cabbages, cauliflower, cucumber, eggplants, sweet corn and tomatoes, among others.According to a previous SunStar report, Cebu City’s agriculture industry could produce between P500,000 to P1 million worth of crops daily. The figures could go as high as more than a million a day during peak season.“We have to act now. We will not wait for the worse to come,” Alcontin said in a mix of Cebuano and English.Alcontin said the CDRRMC resolution has been endorsed to the office of City Councilors Phillip Zafra and Joel Garganera for the City Council to adopt it.Once the council declares these barangays under a state of calamity, Alcontin said the barangays can use their calamity funds, while the City Government can use its Local Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Fund (LDRRMF).He said the City currently has P600 million in its calamity and quick response fund and P100 million in its LDRRMF.He said Mayor Michael Rama instructed them to first use the P100 million LDRRMF, considering it’s only the first quarter of the year.The City Agriculture Department (CAD) has prepared P97 million which will be used for assistance to the farmers.SunStar Cebu tried to reach Baclayon on Sunday to get more details, but to no avail.Alcontin said one of the measures they are implementing now is distributing water in the mountain barangays.He said they are also coordinating with the Metropolitan Cebu Water District to deploy their trucks for water rations in Barangays Buot and Pulangbato.In previous reports, Baclayon said 40 percent of the city’s food supply come from its mountain barangays.Alcontin said one of their assignments is to ensure that the city’s food supply is not hampered, hence the declaration of a state of calamity.Alcontin said the CAD and the Department of Veterinary Medicine and Fisheries are also tasked to ensure food supplies in the city remain stable amid the El Niño.The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) declared on Friday, March 22, the start of the “Philippine Summer.”Alfredo Quiblat Jr., chief of Pagasa Visayas, earlier announced that Cebu has officially been under a dry spell since the last week of February.A dry spell refers to three consecutive months of below-normal rainfall, or a drop of 21 percent to 60 percent, or two consecutive months of way below-normal rainfall, or a drop of more than 60 percent.The El Niño phenomenon leads to decreased precipitation or, in some cases, a complete absence of rainfall, which can significantly impact crop yields and pose various environmental and economic challenges.Pagasa also warned that the phenomenon may persist until the end of May. / JJL licensed online casinos THE continued lack of a septage treatment facility inside the male dormitory of the Cebu City Jail (CCJ), which is home to almost 9,000 persons deprived of liberty (PDL), is an environmental disaster waiting to happen.City Councilor Nestor Archival said a budget of around P100 million was allocated for a sewage treatment plant to collect and treat wastewater at the facility during the term of the late mayor Edgardo Labella.However, the project has yet to be bid out four years after it was proposed, Archival told SunStar Cebu’s online news and commentary program “Beyond the Headlines” on Monday, March 25, 2024. The CCJ male dormitory is located in the uptown barangay of Kalunasan across the Cebu Provincial Detention and Rehabilitation Center (CPDRC). Both facilities are close to the Guadalupe River.On Feb. 21, 2024, a motion was carried in the City Council for the executive department to prioritize the construction of the wastewater treatment facility at the CCJ.“Naa gyud na gilabay sa kanal or padulong sa river, so it’s really a disaster. Timan-i kanang Guadalupe River kay usa na sa gikuhaan nato og water kay naa nay tubig sa ilawom,” Archival said. (Some of the wastewater is thrown directly into the canal or river, so it’s really a disaster. Take note that Guadalupe River is one of the places where we take our water because there is water beneath.)He said the septic tank at the male dormitory is already full, and overflows whenever one of the PDL goes to the bathroom. “Imagine, there are 9,000 PDL who use the CR (comfort room) twice or thrice in one day and all of this are going down into the canal, going down to the river,” he said in a mix of Cebuano and English.The local legislator said the CCJ has been forced to discharge wastewater into bodies of water despite potential violations of environmental laws. “How are you going to manage? If you don’t release the waste in one week, the whole facility will be covered in human waste,” he said in a mix of Cebuano and English.At the start of the 16th City Council in 2022, Archival said he passed a resolution that created a technical working group (TWG) led by City Councilor Francis Esparis, chairman of the committee on social service, to fast-track the bidding process. “Until now, hapit na lang mag-eleksyon (with the next election already near), that bidding has not been conducted,” Archval said. He said he received an unverified report that 50 percent of the project’s budget was realigned to other programs. Archival said he could not validate the report due to the inefficient workflow and process at City Hall in terms of following up on paperwork and documents. During Labella’s term, the male dormitory was described to be in a “state of disaster” due to the lack of an adequate sewage treatment facility, he said.He said the vice mayor now Mayor Michael Rama had tasked him to allocate funding for the project.SunStar Cebu tried to contact CCJ information officer JO1 Thea Bation for comment, but to no avail.In 2018, a complaint was lodged before the Cebu City Environment and Natural Resources regarding a “persistent pungent smell” from the CCJ posing health and environmental risks to inmates and nearby residents.In 2019, the Environmental Management Bureau 7 of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources 7 issued a cease and desist order to the CCJ for failing to meet wastewater standards. It recommended overhauling and retrofitting the facility’s wastewater system.Reactive Meanwhile, Archival described the City Government’s approach to problems as “reactive,” citing the City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office’s (CDRRMO) recent resolution that declared 28 upland barangays under a state of calamity. He pointed out that advisories and warnings on the dry spell were publicized a year ago, but the City Government did not capitalize on these to prepare to secure a steady source of water. Farmers from upland barangays struggle to plant crops due to the lack of water, he said. Without water, farmers have fewer produce to sell, adding to their financial burden.Once the council approves the CDRRMO’s declaration, affected barangays can use their calamity funds, while the City Government can use the P600 million in its calamity and quick response fund and the P100 million under the Local Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Fund for necessary programs to address the problem. “Karon nangayo na og tubig ang kabukiran. Instead nga ang bukid ang source sa atong tubig, ang bukid na ang nangayo og tubig nato diri sa ubos,” Archival said. (The mountain barangays are now asking us in the lowlands for water when they are supposed to be the source of our water.)Archival said the City Government could have pushed for the construction of gabion dams upstream and retention ponds to store water during downpours. During the interview on “Beyond the Headlines,” Archival also expressed his concern over the non-issuance of excavation permits to the Metropolitan Cebu Water District (MCWD) for its pipeline activities.He said he withdrew his resolution to ask the mayor to grant MCWD’s request because other council members are questioning the validity of the water district’s contract with a private supplier.Archival has announced that he might run for mayor in the midterm elections in 2025 with former mayor Tomas Osmeña as his running mate. However, the minority floor leader said his final decision will rest on securing enough financial support to fuel a campaign. / EHP
