CEBU will face economic consequences if it does not fully prepare for future electricity needs.The Cebu Electricity Rights Advocates (Cera), a Cebu-based network of electricity consumer rights advocates, issued the warning during the launch of the Cebu Electricity Consumer Rights Campaign on Saturday, March 23, 2024, at the Palm Grass Hotel in downtown Cebu City. Cera, which was established during the first week of March, advocates for consumers to have equal access to stable, reliable and cost-effective electricity. It also ensures the interests and demands of consumers are heard.“We aim to provide the venues for the consumers’ participation in determining the quality and cost of electricity provided to us. We hold Veco, Cebeco and Meco accountable in ensuring power is delivered to businesses and households in a reliable and cost-effective manner,” said Cera.To achieve stable power, Nathaniel Chua, Cera convenor, proposed merging current distributors to become one electricity distributor so they can pool their resources to provide a lower electricity rate to consumers.“Instead of competition, why not collaboration? If we buy power in wholesale, we can negotiate for a lower price,” he said.The group encouraged people from different sectors to participate, saying everyone is affected when it comes to the issue of reliable and cost-effective sources of power.Chua said there are no groups that focus on electricity and advocate for stable, reliable and affordable energy.He said there should be a focus on three problems, which Cera deemed as the Energy Trilemma: energy security, which is the ability to meet current and future energy demand; energy equity, which is the ability to provide universal access to reliable, affordable and abundant energy for domestic and commercial use; and measures, which is the ability to mitigate and avoid environmental degradation and climate change impacts.He belied claims that Cebu has an adequate supply of electricity, pointing to the unscheduled power interruption on Friday, March 22, and Saturday, in the franchise area of the Mactan Electric Company (Meco).“As of now, ang supply nato sa electricity sa Cebu nipis ang atong reserve, so kinahanglan ta og stable power,” said Chua.(As of now, we need a stable source of power in Cebu since our electricity reserves are thin.)Chua said the inadequate supply of electricity will also lead to economic consequences similar to what happened in Panay Island where unreliable electricity services caused a blackout from Jan. 2 to 5, leading to economic losses estimated at P3.6 billion.He said they understood the need to balance cost and reliability, considering Cebu is an economic hub.“We wish for these electric cooperatives and distribution utilities to provide the best available technology which is reliable and not prone to unscheduled power interruptions to be the choice of generating facilities to serve our interests,” the group said. In May last year, local business leaders expressed concerns over potential shortages in the Visayas grid following “yellow alerts” that were issued due to the high demand for electricity vis-à-vis lower reserves amid the hot dry season.Cebu is currently under a dry spell as a result of El Niño, which the weather bureau Pagasa warned could persist until the end of May.High usage of appliances such as air-conditioners, electric fans, refrigerators and other cooling devices has been noted to deal with the high heat index, which can reduce energy supply.

Philippines PRESIDENT Ferdinand Marcos Jr. said on Wednesday, March 6, 2024, that he continues to view the provocations and harassment by China in the West Philippine Sea (WPS) against Philippine vessels with “great alarm.”In an interview with reporters before heading back to the Philippines from Australia, Marcos said the government will protest the recent provocations by China.But he said he does not think China’s recent actions would be a reason to invoke the country’s Mutual Defense Treaty (MDT) with the United States.PH foreign minister urges neighbors to stand together more strongly in South China Sea“We continue to view with great alarm this continuing dangerous maneuvers and dangerous actions that are being done against our seamen, our Coast Guard. And this time, they damaged cargo ship and caused some injury to some of our seamen and I think that we cannot view this any way but in the most serious way,” Marcos said.“Once again, we will make our objections known and hope that we can continue to communicate to find the way so that such actions are no longer seen in the West Philippine Sea,” he added.Earlier this week, China Coast Guard (CCG) and Chinese Maritime Militia (CMM) vessels harassed, blocked, deployed water cannons, and executed dangerous maneuvers to obstruct a routine Philippine resupply and rotation mission to BRP Sierra Madre deliberately grounded off Ayungin Shoal.China accused the Philippines of “violating” an agreement during the RORE mission, which the Philippine Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) vehemently denied, noting that no agreement exists in terms of the country’s sovereignty over the WPS.Marcos says situation in WPS ‘worrisome’The incident resulted in the collision of Philippine and Chinese vessels, causing injury to four Filipino security forces and damage to the country’s boats.Marcos also described as “great concern” the reported sightings of Chinese research vessels in Benham Rise.The President said it is a clear intrusion into the Philippine maritime territory.“The presence of Chinese ships in the area is absolutely unnecessary because if it is truly a research vessel, both sides could have come to a simple agreement for those research vessels to ply Philippine waters and conduct such research,” said Marcos.“However, there is a suspicion that they are not only research vessels so, again, this is a bit of an escalation of the tension that is present in the West Philippines Sea,” he added.Navy confirms communication interference being done by China in WPSAs he condemned China, Defense Secretary Gilbert Teodoro urged Beijing to “to be truthful and to be believable,” saying its acts in the WPS are “patently illegal and downright uncivilized.”He said the propaganda mechanisms of the People’s Republic of China attempts to justify their illegal acts against Philippine vessels on their so-called “indisputable” claim over most of the South China Sea. “They take great pains to mischaracterize their provocations as lawful under international law and the actions of their CCG and Maritime Militia as professional, restrained, reasonable, and lawful,” said Teodoro.“This claim is, simply put, one that no right-thinking State in the world agrees with and which many outright condemn. The PRC's vain attempt to manufacture and sell this story falters in the face of real incontrovertible facts,” he added.In his speech at the Lowy Institute Peace and Resilient Amidst Great Power Rivalries: The Philippine Perspective in Melbourne, Australia on Monday, March 4, Marcos said the Philippines will be compelled to push back its partnership with China when the principle of the two countries is questioned or ignored amid tensions in the South China Sea.Marcos also vowed to continue to upgrade the capabilities of the Philippine Coast Guard and pursue the modernization of the Armed Forces of the Philippines amid the tension in the disputed territory.Other countries, including the US and France, have expressed concern over the latest incidents in the WPS.France called for respect for the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, and in particular for freedom of navigation, and resolutely opposes any threat or use of force contrary to international law.

And this time, they damaged cargo ship and caused some injury to some of our seamen and I think that we cannot view this any way but in the most serious way,” Marcos said.“Once again, we will make our objections known and hope that we can continue to communicate to find the way so that such actions are no longer seen in the West Philippine Sea,” he added.Earlier this week, China Coast Guard (CCG) and Chinese Maritime Militia (CMM) vessels harassed, blocked, deployed water cannons, and executed dangerous maneuvers to obstruct a routine Philippine resupply and rotation mission to BRP Sierra Madre deliberately grounded off Ayungin Shoal.China accused the Philippines of “violating” an agreement during the RORE mission, which the Philippine Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) vehemently denied, noting that no agreement exists in terms of the country’s sovereignty over the WPS.Marcos says situation in WPS ‘worrisome’The incident resulted in the collision of Philippine and Chinese vessels, causing injury to four Filipino security forces and damage to the country’s boats.Marcos also described as “great concern” the reported sightings of Chinese research vessels in Benham Rise.The President said it is a clear intrusion into the Philippine maritime territory.“The presence of Chinese ships in the area is absolutely unnecessary because if it is truly a research vessel, both sides could have come to a simple agreement for those research vessels to ply Philippine waters and conduct such research,” said Marcos.“However, there is a suspicion that they are not only research vessels so, again, this is a bit of an escalation of the tension that is present in the West Philippines Sea,” he added.Navy confirms communication interference being done by China in WPSAs he condemned China, Defense Secretary Gilbert Teodoro urged Beijing to “to be truthful and to be believable,” saying its acts in the WPS are “patently illegal and downright uncivilized.”He said the propaganda mechanisms of the People’s Republic of China attempts to justify their illegal acts against Philippine vessels on their so-called “indisputable” claim over most of the South China Sea. “They take great pains to mischaracterize their provocations as lawful under international law and the actions of their CCG and Maritime Militia as professional, restrained, reasonable, and lawful,” said Teodoro.“This claim is, simply put, one that no right-thinking State in the world agrees with and which many outright condemn. The PRC's vain attempt to manufacture and sell this story falters in the face of real incontrovertible facts,” he added.In his speech at the Lowy Institute Peace and Resilient Amidst Great Power Rivalries: The Philippine Perspective in Melbourne, Australia on Monday, March 4, Marcos said the Philippines will be compelled to push back its partnership with China when the principle of the two countries is questioned or ignored amid tensions in the South China Sea.Marcos also vowed to continue to upgrade the capabilities of the Philippine Coast Guard and pursue the modernization of the Armed Forces of the Philippines amid the tension in the disputed territory.Other countries, including the US and France, have expressed concern over the latest incidents in the WPS.France called for respect for the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, and in particular for freedom of navigation, and resolutely opposes any threat or use of force contrary to international law.
