These vehicles operate with a system where two or three drivers take turns driving a single unit.The FCTC leader said in a phone interview Sunday, April 21, 2024, that MPUV units from Lahug Apas Transport Cooperative, Kalunasan Operators and Drivers Transport Cooperative, Banawa Transport Cooperative, and Mabolo Transport Cooperative are the first ones to be affected once the CBRT Package 1 becomes operational.“Sa pagkakaron, gipangkulbaan ang atong mga primary coops kay daghan mag coops affected if ever naa na ang BRT. Kahibaw nata nga ang atong mga modern jeeps puros inutang (Right now, our primary coops are anxious because they will be affected if ever BRT starts operating. We are all aware that our modern jeep units were purchased with loans),” said Maghanoy.CBRT’s first package covers the 2.38-kilometer route from Osmeña Blvd. to Cebu South Bus Terminal.SunStar Cebu sent a text message to BRT project manager Norvin Imbong on Sunday to inquire if there will be buses deployed after CBRT Package 1’s completion. Imbong has not responded as of this writing.Not enoughMaghanoy said even now that drivers can operate on their full routes, their income is not enough. She anticipates a significant decline in income with the BRT’s operation, as passenger traffic could be diverted.This same concern from FCTC was raised by Gealon during the City Council’s regular session last Wednesday, April 17. He pointed out that MPUV drivers gave up over 20 years driving traditional jeepneys to comply with the government’s PUV modernization program, only to potentially be displaced by the BRT project.“Sila nga ni-comply sa modernization, sila sad ang ma-dislodge kay di naman sila patadlason sa route gitadlasan sa una (The ones who complied with modernization might be the ones dislodged because they won’t be allowed on their usual routes),” said Gealon.“Kini sila daghan na kaayo (There are so many of them). They have invested so much, sacrificed their livelihoods, personal and family’s lifetime savings para maka-come up lang og pangbayad (just to be able to afford payments),” he added.Gealon said once the CBRT operates, MPUVs, along with other traditional PUVs, will only be allowed on feeder roads, making it doubtful they can earn enough income. A feeder road refers to roads that are smaller local roads that will connect passengers from interior barangays and streets to the main CBRT line.Each MPUV unit costs around P3 million.ExtensionThe National Economic and Development Authority (Neda) approved a further extension of the target completion date for the CBRT project from 2025 to 2027 last November 2023.Maghanoy hopes local transportation cooperatives will be given the opportunity to operate on the CBRT route during its initial operations while waiting for the project’s full completion in 2027.This, she believes, would allow drivers to maintain their income, and by the time the entire BRT system is implemented, most of their loans might already be paid off.“For the initial implementation, we hope modern jeeps will be given a chance, even if for only six months or one year, with a gradual transition to buses. This way, they can benefit instead of being displaced, especially since they only complied with the modernization program,” said Maghanoy.Imbong, in a text message to SunStar Cebu on Sunday, said 18-meter buses were approved by Neda to traverse the entire route of CBRT.Regarding the possible displacement of MPUV and traditional PUV drivers, Imbong said a new Local Public Transportation Route Plan for Cebu City is being developed.“Old routes will be changed taking into consideration the BRT route,” Imbong said.There have been calls from local officials to stop or suspend the civil works of the remaining packages of CBRT recently; however, Transportation Secretary Jaime Bautista said the mass transportation project must continue.The first phase of CBRT is composed of four package. The second package will cover a distance of 10.8 kilometers, from South Road Properties (SRP) in Barangay Mambaling and Escario St., Capitol, and Gorordo Ave. The third package will cover a distance of 18 kilometers, from Cebu IT Park to Barangay Talamban and from the SRP to Talisay City; and the fourth package will cover a distance of four kilometers, featuring a dedicated lane from barangays 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 SRP and F. Vestil St.The CBRT project is expected to cater to 60,000 passengers daily in its first year of operation, and up to 160,000 passengers once fully operational, according to the Department of Transportation. / JJL

The agreement was made through the program “Humanity Behind Bars: An Integrated Jail Decongestion and Management” at the Office of the City Mayor on Monday, Feb. 26, 2024.The MOA signing was attended by officials of the Mandaue City Government and the Mandaue City Police Office (MCPO), and representatives from the Mandaue City Jail male and female dormitories, among others. Participants discussed the key components of the program which include the introduction of a digital platform called Persons Deprived of Liberty (PDL) Management Data designed to inventory and monitor the case status of PDLs, decongest jails, and facilitate efficient correctional facility management.During the event, the IBP Cebu City Chapter presented Oplan Bilis Laya, a legal aid service aimed at assisting in the timely release of PDLs who have completed their sentence or are eligible for probation, pardon, parole, or early release. The service is provided with the help of law students who work under the supervision of the IBP Cebu City Legal Aid Service Group. The IBP Cebu City Chapter has established MOAs with Cebu law schools for their various initiatives.Challenges Mary Grace Casano, executive director for legal aid of the IBP Cebu City Chapter core team, presented common challenges faced by courts and jail facilities that impede the Philippine justice system. The challenges include institutional barriers such as the lack of drug courts causing delays in court proceedings. According to the IBP, there is an unbalanced number of drug courts even though 90 percent of PDL cases involve violations of Republic Act 9165, otherwise known as the Comprehensive Dangerous Act of 2002.There is also a shortage of judges, prosecutors, public attorneys, parole and probation officers, and court personnel. Moreover, inadequate and substandard facilities and living conditions in jails, delays in drug dependency examination (DDE) due to the lack of accredited DDE physicians, the financial incapacity of PDLs, jail congestion and overcrowding contribute to the problem.Jose Glenn Capanas, dean of the University of San Carlos School of Law and Governance said based on Supreme Court (SC) records in 2023, approximately 70 percent or roughly 335 out of the 478 jail facilities nationwide are overcrowded. Out of around 126,000 inmates in the country, 69.51 percent or around 87,500 are under preventive detention; while only 30.49 percent, or around 38,400 had been convicted and sentenced.Quoting SC records, Capanas said around 87,203 out of the 126,000 inmates nationwide are facing charges related to illegal drugs, while 39,144 have non-drug-related cases. While the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology (BJMP) reported a drop in jail congestion (367 percent in 2023) compared to 600 percent in 2018, Capanas said the country’s jail congestion rate has remained relatively high. Therefore, there is a need for collaboration between judges, jail personnel, local government units, and other stakeholders to lower congestion, he said.The SC defines preventive detention as the temporary confinement of an alleged suspect in jail or prison while undergoing investigation or trial and awaiting final judgment. Mandaue jail Over at the Mandaue City Jail (MCJ), Jonathan Baltar, superintendent of the male dormitory, said out of around 1,506 male PDLs, 406 persons were under preventive detention as of Tuesday, March 5. Shela Serrano, superintendent of the MCJ female dormitory, also reported that 87 out of the 126 female PDLs were under preventive detention.In 2015, the MCJ was ranked as one of the most congested jail facilities in Central Visayas with a congestion rate of 1,701 percent, according to the BJMP Its male facility, originally designed to accommodate around 95 inmates, hosted around 1,000 male inmates at the time, while its female dormitory which could accommodate only around 22 PDLs catered to about a hundred female inmates.According to court officials, the main reason for the slow disposal of cases was the lack of trial courts to handle the large volume of cases in Mandaue City. There are only three Regional Trial Court (RTC) branches in Mandaue City compared to 22 in Cebu City. Mandaue City RTC Branch 83 Executive Judge Alan Garciano said they are implementing a new system to expedite the release of PDLs who have served their maximum sentence. The system involves acknowledging the release of the PDLs without need for a court order, as long as jail personnel can verify that the PDL has indeed completed their sentence. “The court is informed of the release seven days before the PDL’s release, as stated by the Office of the Court Administrator Circular No. 201-2022,” said Garciano.To help decongest the MCJ, the Mandaue City Government has built a wider jail facility with a larger inmate capacity. In September 2023, the MCJ male dormitory moved to its new location in Sitio Dunggoan, Barangay Basak which significantly improved their congestion problem, Baltar said.However, PDLs at the female dormitory have yet to transfer from the old MCJ facility in Barangay Looc to Barangay Basak as the new area for the female dormitory remains swampy.Serrano said as soon as an embankment is built, the transfer would take place. The new MCJ facility has an ideal capacity of 280 inmates for its male dormitory and 40 inmates for the female dormitory. / HIC

AT LEAST 500 drivers of modern public utility vehicles (MPUVs) might be displaced if the operation of Cebu Bus Rapid Transit’s (CBRT) first package pushes through in July this year.To protect their livelihood, Cebu City Councilor Rey Gealon, who chairs the Cebu City Traffic Management Coordination Committee, proposed allowing MPUV units to utilize the CBRT’s first package route instead of procuring new buses.Ellen Maghanoy, chairperson of Federation of Cebu Transport Cooperatives (FCTC), welcomed Gealon’s idea, saying it could benefit the drivers and operators, even if temporarily, while waiting for the entire CBRT routes to be completed.Maghanoy said 200 MPUVs serving the route covered by CBRT Package 1 rely on a pool of around 500 drivers.

She anticipates a significant decline in income with the BRT’s operation, as passenger traffic could be diverted.This same concern from FCTC was raised by Gealon during the City Council’s regular session last Wednesday, April 17. He pointed out that MPUV drivers gave up over 20 years driving traditional jeepneys to comply with the government’s PUV modernization program, only to potentially be displaced by the BRT project.“Sila nga ni-comply sa modernization, sila sad ang ma-dislodge kay di naman sila patadlason sa route gitadlasan sa una (The ones who complied with modernization might be the ones dislodged because they won’t be allowed on their usual routes),” said Gealon.“Kini sila daghan na kaayo (There are so many of them). They have invested so much, sacrificed their livelihoods, personal and family’s lifetime savings para maka-come up lang og pangbayad (just to be able to afford payments),” he added.Gealon said once the CBRT operates, MPUVs, along with other traditional PUVs, will only be allowed on feeder roads, making it doubtful they can earn enough income. A feeder road refers to roads that are smaller local roads that will connect passengers from interior barangays and streets to the main CBRT line.Each MPUV unit costs around P3 million.ExtensionThe National Economic and Development Authority (Neda) approved a further extension of the target completion date for the CBRT project from 2025 to 2027 last November 2023.Maghanoy hopes local transportation cooperatives will be given the opportunity to operate on the CBRT route during its initial operations while waiting for the project’s full completion in 2027.This, she believes, would allow drivers to maintain their income, and by the time the entire BRT system is implemented, most of their loans might already be paid off.“For the initial implementation, we hope modern jeeps will be given a chance, even if for only six months or one year, with a gradual transition to buses. This way, they can benefit instead of being displaced, especially since they only complied with the modernization program,” said Maghanoy.Imbong, in a text message to SunStar Cebu on Sunday, said 18-meter buses were approved by Neda to traverse the entire route of CBRT.Regarding the possible displacement of MPUV and traditional PUV drivers, Imbong said a new Local Public Transportation Route Plan for Cebu City is being developed.“Old routes will be changed taking into consideration the BRT route,” Imbong said.There have been calls from local officials to stop or suspend the civil works of the remaining packages of CBRT recently; however, Transportation Secretary Jaime Bautista said the mass transportation project must continue.The first phase of CBRT is composed of four package.

A TOTAL of 340 houses were destroyed due to a fire that broke out under the Mactan-Mandaue Bridge in Barangay Looc, Mandaue City on Tuesday, March 12, 2024. Senior Fire Insp. Leo Andicoy of the Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP) Mandaue, who is leading the investigation, said they still have to determine what caused the blaze in Sitio Under The Bridge.According to Andicoy, the fire was reported at 12:08 p.m., and was raised to third alarm at 12:22 p.m. It was declared under control at 12:42 p.m. and was fully extinguished at 2:16 p.m. He placed damage estimates to be around P1.215 million. Arnel Abella, head of BFP Mandaue, said the fire burned an area of about 5,000 square meters. Andicoy said the BFP Mandaue is working tirelessly to carry out repairs and clear the area to prevent any chance of the fire rekindling.Authorities reported no casualties or injuries.Temporary sheltersThe victims are currently sheltering at the Looc Gym and Cesar M. Cabahug Elementary School. As of 5 p.m., the Mandaue City Public Information Office reported that the blaze affected 444 families consisting of 1,537 people. Of this number, 340 were homeowners and 104 were renters. Vice Mayor Glenn Bercede, in a separate interview, announced that they will be opening 20 rooms at the Cesar Cabahug Elementary School located next to the Looc Gymnasium to accommodate the victims.He said the City will also provide them with food and other necessities. Looc Barangay Captain Raul Cabahug requested neighboring barangays and cities for in-kind donations, which can be turned over to the Looc Barangay Hall. “Dili gyud lalim ilabi na ang Looc bag-o lang kaayo nasunugan ning Sitio Paradise sad. Wa pa gani ang uban ka-recover pero karun nana say laing sunog,” he said.(It’s not easy for the barangay, especially since it wasn’t that long ago that Sitio Paradise was also struck by fire. Some of the victims have not even recovered. Now another fire has struck.)Outside assistanceCabahug was referring to the fire on Nov. 22, 2022 that destroyed 600 homes. The barangay then declared a state of calamity to access emergency funds for the victims. Buddy Alain Ybañez, head of the Mandaue City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office, praised firefighters from the neighboring cities of Lapu-Lapu, Talisay, and Danao for their assistance. Ybañez said they employed one strategy that helped immediately douse the flames.He said they used flood suctioning machines to transfer water from the fire trucks. According to Ybañez, one of the challenges they had to overcome was the strong wind, which caused the fire to spread quickly. / HIC Gambling Lawsuit Cases in the Philippines .

AT LEAST 500 drivers of modern public utility vehicles (MPUVs) might be displaced if the operation of Cebu Bus Rapid Transit’s (CBRT) first package pushes through in July this year.To protect their livelihood, Cebu City Councilor Rey Gealon, who chairs the Cebu City Traffic Management Coordination Committee, proposed allowing MPUV units to utilize the CBRT’s first package route instead of procuring new buses.Ellen Maghanoy, chairperson of Federation of Cebu Transport Cooperatives (FCTC), welcomed Gealon’s idea, saying it could benefit the drivers and operators, even if temporarily, while waiting for the entire CBRT routes to be completed.Maghanoy said 200 MPUVs serving the route covered by CBRT Package 1 rely on a pool of around 500 drivers. These vehicles operate with a system where two or three drivers take turns driving a single unit.The FCTC leader said in a phone interview Sunday, April 21, 2024, that MPUV units from Lahug Apas Transport Cooperative, Kalunasan Operators and Drivers Transport Cooperative, Banawa Transport Cooperative, and Mabolo Transport Cooperative are the first ones to be affected once the CBRT Package 1 becomes operational.“Sa pagkakaron, gipangkulbaan ang atong mga primary coops kay daghan mag coops affected if ever naa na ang BRT.

The agreement was made through the program “Humanity Behind Bars: An Integrated Jail Decongestion and Management” at the Office of the City Mayor on Monday, Feb. 26, 2024.The MOA signing was attended by officials of the Mandaue City Government and the Mandaue City Police Office (MCPO), and representatives from the Mandaue City Jail male and female dormitories, among others. Participants discussed the key components of the program which include the introduction of a digital platform called Persons Deprived of Liberty (PDL) Management Data designed to inventory and monitor the case status of PDLs, decongest jails, and facilitate efficient correctional facility management.During the event, the IBP Cebu City Chapter presented Oplan Bilis Laya, a legal aid service aimed at assisting in the timely release of PDLs who have completed their sentence or are eligible for probation, pardon, parole, or early release. The service is provided with the help of law students who work under the supervision of the IBP Cebu City Legal Aid Service Group. The IBP Cebu City Chapter has established MOAs with Cebu law schools for their various initiatives.Challenges Mary Grace Casano, executive director for legal aid of the IBP Cebu City Chapter core team, presented common challenges faced by courts and jail facilities that impede the Philippine justice system. The challenges include institutional barriers such as the lack of drug courts causing delays in court proceedings. According to the IBP, there is an unbalanced number of drug courts even though 90 percent of PDL cases involve violations of Republic Act 9165, otherwise known as the Comprehensive Dangerous Act of 2002.There is also a shortage of judges, prosecutors, public attorneys, parole and probation officers, and court personnel. Moreover, inadequate and substandard facilities and living conditions in jails, delays in drug dependency examination (DDE) due to the lack of accredited DDE physicians, the financial incapacity of PDLs, jail congestion and overcrowding contribute to the problem.Jose Glenn Capanas, dean of the University of San Carlos School of Law and Governance said based on Supreme Court (SC) records in 2023, approximately 70 percent or roughly 335 out of the 478 jail facilities nationwide are overcrowded. Out of around 126,000 inmates in the country, 69.51 percent or around 87,500 are under preventive detention; while only 30.49 percent, or around 38,400 had been convicted and sentenced.Quoting SC records, Capanas said around 87,203 out of the 126,000 inmates nationwide are facing charges related to illegal drugs, while 39,144 have non-drug-related cases. While the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology (BJMP) reported a drop in jail congestion (367 percent in 2023) compared to 600 percent in 2018, Capanas said the country’s jail congestion rate has remained relatively high. Therefore, there is a need for collaboration between judges, jail personnel, local government units, and other stakeholders to lower congestion, he said.The SC defines preventive detention as the temporary confinement of an alleged suspect in jail or prison while undergoing investigation or trial and awaiting final judgment. Mandaue jail Over at the Mandaue City Jail (MCJ), Jonathan Baltar, superintendent of the male dormitory, said out of around 1,506 male PDLs, 406 persons were under preventive detention as of Tuesday, March 5. Shela Serrano, superintendent of the MCJ female dormitory, also reported that 87 out of the 126 female PDLs were under preventive detention.In 2015, the MCJ was ranked as one of the most congested jail facilities in Central Visayas with a congestion rate of 1,701 percent, according to the BJMP Its male facility, originally designed to accommodate around 95 inmates, hosted around 1,000 male inmates at the time, while its female dormitory which could accommodate only around 22 PDLs catered to about a hundred female inmates.According to court officials, the main reason for the slow disposal of cases was the lack of trial courts to handle the large volume of cases in Mandaue City. There are only three Regional Trial Court (RTC) branches in Mandaue City compared to 22 in Cebu City. Mandaue City RTC Branch 83 Executive Judge Alan Garciano said they are implementing a new system to expedite the release of PDLs who have served their maximum sentence. The system involves acknowledging the release of the PDLs without need for a court order, as long as jail personnel can verify that the PDL has indeed completed their sentence. “The court is informed of the release seven days before the PDL’s release, as stated by the Office of the Court Administrator Circular No. 201-2022,” said Garciano.To help decongest the MCJ, the Mandaue City Government has built a wider jail facility with a larger inmate capacity. In September 2023, the MCJ male dormitory moved to its new location in Sitio Dunggoan, Barangay Basak which significantly improved their congestion problem, Baltar said.However, PDLs at the female dormitory have yet to transfer from the old MCJ facility in Barangay Looc to Barangay Basak as the new area for the female dormitory remains swampy.Serrano said as soon as an embankment is built, the transfer would take place. The new MCJ facility has an ideal capacity of 280 inmates for its male dormitory and 40 inmates for the female dormitory. / HIC
