CEBU City Mayor Michael Rama has refused to sit down with the Provincial Government to address issues surrounding the Cebu Bus Rapid Transit (CBRT) project, reiterating his desire to file charges against officials who called for the project’s halt, especially Cebu Gov. Gwendolyn Garcia.“No. I don’t want to sit down with them. Why will I have to sit down? They should know where they are; that’s a matter of territory,” Rama said in an interview on Friday, March 8, 2024.Rama’s response followed a resolution urging both Mayor Rama and Governor Garcia to meet and resolve the CBRT project issue through a dialogue. The resolution, authored by City Councilor Nestor Archival, was adopted during the council’s regular session last Wednesday, March 6.Archival’s resolution was amended to include the Provincial Board and the City Council in the dialogue. The amendment was proposed by City Councilor James Anthony Cuenco.To recall, Gov. Garcia issued Memorandum 16-2024 on Feb. 27, ordering the cessation of construction of bus stations along Osmeña Blvd.A day after, during the council’s regular session on Feb. 28, Vice Mayor Raymond Alvin Garcia (VM Garcia) delivered a privilege speech addressing heritage protection concerns and the visual impact of the CBRT project on the Capitol building, which has been declared a National Historical Landmark by the National Historical Commission of the Philippines.VM Garcia then urged the Office of the Building Official to issue a cease and desist order against the construction of the CBRT bus station.Declining to have a dialogue, Rama said he would proceed with filing charges against those who want to stop the CBRT project, especially Governor Garcia.“I am going now into connecting with my lawyers because I am very, very serious in filing cases even against the governor,” Rama said.When asked on what grounds the City would be filling the case, Rama said he would let the city lawyers prepare it.SunStar Cebu tried to obtain information from City Legal Officer Carlo Vincent Gimena, but he said he could not divulge anything about it at the moment.When asked whether the construction of the CBRT bus station near the Capitol had been halted, Rama said he lacks information on the project’s current status.However, he said the station should be redesigned.“It can be redesigned...before the station, there was an island, but there was no complaint about it...they will do it in (such a) way that it will not cover the Capitol,” Rama said.Rama earlier this year ordered the demolition of the center island on Osmeña Blvd. for the foot processions during the 2024 Fiesta Señor in January.The civil works for the CBRT’s first package is ongoing, and while the project traverses Talisay City and other towns of Cebu Province, most of its components are located in Cebu City.Meanwhile, regarding his desire to remove CBRT project manager Norvin Imbong, Rama said he had already talked with Transportation Secretary Jaime Bautista twice.Rama added that he also does not want to be in a dialogue with Imbong around. Rama, earlier, called for the ouster of Imbong due to alleged mismanagement of the CBRT project. / AML Online Casino Philippines Guide Philippines A LOCAL legislator is pushing to include the South Road Properties (SRP) in the Real Property Tax (RPT) Code of Cebu City after discovering the area is not part of the existing code.Cebu City Councilor Jocelyn Pesquera, vice chair of the budget and finance committee, has proposed an amendatory ordinance to incorporate the fair market values of SRP into the existing RPT Code.If approved, the schedule of base unit market values in SRP will range from P45,000 to P60,000, depending on the lot classification.The proposed ordinance states that the schedule of fair market values is the basis for calculating property taxes within Cebu City.Pesquera introduced the draft ordinance to the City Council during the regular session on Wednesday, Feb. 21, 2024.The councilor believes that if the measure is approved, it will significantly increase income for the City Government.“It will balance off with the other developed areas.

This was supposed to take effect on Jan. 1, 2003, but its implementation was moved to 2006.In her proposed ordinance, Pesquera said during the discussion up to the eventual approval of the current RPT Code, the SRP was still in the construction stage, and the needed facilities and utilities to make the parcels of land within the area was still in its inception stage.Pesquera said that since the general revision of the schedule of market values was approved two decades ago, significant developments and business establishments have been built in the area. This has led to a substantial increase in land prices within the SRP.Despite the developments, the real property taxes collected by the City remain very low. The market values used for assessment are still based on when the SRP was undeveloped.“Thus, there is a need to amend the schedule of fair market values to incorporate the South Road Properties,” Pesquera said in her draft ordinance.The RPT Code was first enacted on Nov. 17, 1993. It has been amended several times since then.The construction of SRP, then known as the South Reclamation Project, started in the 1990s. Civil works began in 1997.SunStar Cebu reported in 2010 that the Overseas Economic Cooperation Fund (now the Japan Bank for International Cooperation) pledged to finance the South Reclamation Project in May 1995.Substantially completed in 2006, the SRP was declared a special economic zone and renamed the South Road Properties.The Cebu City Government signed a contract with Filinvest Land Inc. for the first sale and joint venture deal involving the SRP in February 2009.

A DAY before the Fire Prevention Month celebration, Cebu City already recorded 51 fire incidents since the start of 2024 which translates to a 45.7 percent rise from the 35 fire incidents recorded during the same period last year.Of the 51 incidents this year, 30 happened in January, resulting in property damage of about P19 million, said Senior Fire Officer Wendell Villanueva, information officer of the Cebu City Fire Office (CCFO).Meanwhile, a total of 21 fire incidents were recorded in the month of February with two of the fires happening in the afternoon of Feb. 29.Villanueva urged the public to heighten fire precautionary measures, especially during the dry season when the risk of fires is higher due to dry weather conditions.Proclamation 115-A issued by President Ferdinand Marcos Sr. on Feb. 24, 1966, declared March as Fire Prevention Month to remind people about the importance of fire safety and prevention.“We need to raise awareness among people about the dangers of the hot season. A small mistake could lead to a fire outbreak as things, and homes tend to get extremely dry during this time,” Villanueva said. “As water is scarce, we should be extra cautious and take all necessary measures to prevent any incident,” he added, taking into account the existing El Niño phenomenon.The CCFO will embark on several educational programs and campaigns to inform people about fire hazards, proper fire safety measures and emergency preparedness.Earlier this week, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) Visayas reported that Cebu will be affected by a dry spell due to El Niño.According to Pagasa, a dry spell occurs when there are three successive months of below-normal rainfall or two consecutive months of “significantly below-normal”rainfall.Below-normal rainfall refers to a reduction of 20 to 60 percent from the average precipitation levels for a specific area, while significantly below-normal rainfall indicates a decrease of more than 60 percent compared to the norm.Villanueva urged the public to conserve water, particularly during this time, so that the fire department can respond swiftly in case of fire emergencies.The CCFO, which sources water from the Metropolitan Cebu Water District, is currently not having any issues with its supply, said Villanueva.To mark the opening of Fire Prevention Month on March 1, the CCFO held two motorcades traversing routes from north to south to spread fire safety information in various areas. / KJF

A small mistake could lead to a fire outbreak as things, and homes tend to get extremely dry during this time,” Villanueva said. “As water is scarce, we should be extra cautious and take all necessary measures to prevent any incident,” he added, taking into account the existing El Niño phenomenon.The CCFO will embark on several educational programs and campaigns to inform people about fire hazards, proper fire safety measures and emergency preparedness.Earlier this week, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) Visayas reported that Cebu will be affected by a dry spell due to El Niño.According to Pagasa, a dry spell occurs when there are three successive months of below-normal rainfall or two consecutive months of “significantly below-normal”rainfall.Below-normal rainfall refers to a reduction of 20 to 60 percent from the average precipitation levels for a specific area, while significantly below-normal rainfall indicates a decrease of more than 60 percent compared to the norm.Villanueva urged the public to conserve water, particularly during this time, so that the fire department can respond swiftly in case of fire emergencies.The CCFO, which sources water from the Metropolitan Cebu Water District, is currently not having any issues with its supply, said Villanueva.To mark the opening of Fire Prevention Month on March 1, the CCFO held two motorcades traversing routes from north to south to spread fire safety information in various areas. / KJF
