THE Philippines and Australia inked on Thursday, February 29, 2024, three agreements that are seen to enhance the two countries’ information sharing, capability building, and interoperability in various issues.President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. said the agreements cover the maritime domain and maritime environment, cyber and critical technology, and the effective implementation of the respective competition laws and policies of the two countries.“The three agreements add to the more than 120 agreements that our two countries have signed through the decades. And these are in various fields, including defense cooperation, air services, education, research, scientific and cultural cooperation, amongst others,” he said.Marcos said the agreement on maritime domain is aimed to enhance the cooperation between the Philippines and Australia in order to strengthen the civil military cooperation, promote international law and rules-based international order, safeguard the marine environment and cultural heritage, enhance defense engagements, and establish avenues for dialogue among relevant agencies.As he addressed the Australia Parliament, Marcos highlighted the need for Australia and the Philippines to join forces along with their allies against threats to the rule of law, to stability and peace in the Indo-Pacific region, as well as to reinforce each other’s strength and continue to protect peace and oppose actions that violates international laws.Australia is one of the only two partners with which the Philippines has a Visiting Forces Agreement.“We have long known that our prosperity and development are anchored on the peace and stability of the Indo-Pacific. Today, that peace, that stability, and our continued success, have come under threat,” said Marcos.“Once again, we must come together as partners to face the common challenges confronting the region. Not one single country can do this by itself. No single force alone can counter them by themselves,” he added.Marcos reiterated that the Philippine government will not waver in its resolve not to allow any foreign power to take even a single square inch of the Philippine sovereignty amid prevailing issues in the West Philippine Sea (WPS), which he earlier described as worrisome.“I shall never tire of repeating the declaration that I made from the first day that I took office: I will not allow any attempt by any foreign power to take even one square inch of our sovereign territory,” he said.“The challenges that we face may be formidable, but equally formidable is our resolve. We will not yield. Then as now, the security and continued prosperity of the region -- of countries like Australia -- relies upon that effort. Just as we fought to build our rules-based international order, so are we now fighting to protect it,” he said.He maintained, though, that the Philippines has an abiding interest in keeping its seas free and open, and in ensuring unimpeded passage and freedom of navigation as he noted the importance of upholding, preservation and defending the unified and universal character of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea as the constitution of the oceans.In a joint press conference after a meeting with Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, Marcos said the two countries discussed ways to amplify their joint maritime activities, as they both acknowledge the ties between Australia and the Philippines particularly on defense, maritime cooperation, non-traditional security concerns, trade and investment, development cooperation, multilateral collaboration and people-to-people linkages.“Defense and security remain a key area of cooperation between the Philippines and of Australia. We look forward to amplifying our joint activities and the capacity-building efforts in this regard,” said Marcos.In terms of cyber and critical technology, Marcos said the Philippines is looking forward to sharing information and best practices with Australia, including the conduct of capacity building, promoting a secured digital economy, and achieving greater understanding of the application of international law norms in cyberspace.The cooperation on effective implementation of the respective competition laws and policies of the Philippines and Australia is one of the practical ways of the two countries to strengthen economic relations through the sharing of best practices and the conduct of capacity building on matters involving merger regulations, competition laws, and investigative techniques relevant to implementing competition laws.Marcos and Albanese also discussed greater bilateral economic cooperation, which will allow both the Philippines and Australia to withstand shocks, to be resilient against economic coercion, and to provide an enabling environment for businesses and labor markets.He added that they both look forward to more robust people-to-people ties to drive greater cooperation between the two countries and its peoples.“The significant Filipino diaspora, the fifth largest immigrant community here in Australia, has contributed significantly to the economic and cultural wellbeing not only of our country, but yours as well,” the President said.“It is also an undeniable indicator of Australia’s openness to embrace a globalized and interconnected world. Both the Philippines and Australia welcome future consultations and dialogues as we explore and map the uncharted waters that can bring in new opportunities for a closer and stronger relationship between our two countries,” he added. (TPM/SunStar Philippines) How to Choose the Best Online Casino in the Philippines Philippines THE Cebu Port Authority (CPA) has condemned the Cebu City Government for blocking the entrance to its port extension project.In an official statement issued on Tuesday, April 2, 2024, the CPA said the City defied the writ of injunction issued in favor of the CPA when it forcibly entered port premises, which are outside its territorial jurisdiction.“Thus, we strongly condemn these flagrant acts of oppression, harassment, grave abuse and usurpation of authority, and blatant disregard of the law and judicial processes committed by men and women in the seat of power who publicly display knowledge of the law yet conceal a weak ethical core,” said the CPA. On Monday, April 1, the City installed rail fences to block the entrance to the CPA’s port extension project located across the Compania Maritima. This, after Mayor Michael Rama learned that the construction of the project had resumed, prompting him to order Cebu City Police Office personnel to report to the area. City officials led by City Administrator Collin Rosell went to the site to enforce the notice of illegal construction and work stoppage order that the Office of the Building Official (OBO) had issued. City Legal Officer Carlo Vincent Gimena sent a statement to SunStar Cebu, stating that the City’s actions were legal and ethical. “Contrary to their unfounded statement, there is no defiance to the writ of preliminary injunction that they mentioned because the implementation of OBO’s order did not touch on the issue of ownership or possession of the subject premises,” said Gimena. He reiterated that the CPA does not have the power or authority to issue building and fencing permits for the construction of its structures. Gimena said the City will do what is necessary within the bounds of the law and ethics to protect the interests of the city. The OBO filed a case against the CPA on March 15 after the latter refused to comply with notices from City Hall regarding its construction of structures without the necessary permits. Last February, the OBO discovered through ocular inspections that the CPA had constructed a perimeter fence, as well as started work on a wharf along the Cebu South Coastal Road near the Malacañang sa Sugbo (now National Museum of the Philippines-Cebu) without securing permits. The City Government has an ongoing ownership dispute with the CPA over the Compania Maritima premises, which is part of the area to be redeveloped under the City’s P8 billion joint venture agreement with Megawide Construction Corp. to modernize the century-old Carbon Public Market. In December 2022, the Regional Trial Court (RTC) granted the CPA’s application for a writ of preliminary injunction to prohibit the City from occupying any portion of the Compania Maritima premises. In August 2023, the RTC denied the City’s motion for reconsideration, and affirmed the CPA’s ownership of the Compania Maritima and its premises. In September 2023, the City had a run-in with the CPA after the CPA installed a steel fence along the seaside near the Compania Maritima. / RJM

THE executive department of the Cebu City Government is asking for an additional P205,974,032 for the Palarong Pambansa (Palaro). In a phone interview on Thursday, Feb. 22, 2024, City Councilor Noel Wenceslao, chairman of the committee on budget and finance, said Mayor Michael Rama already signed the request, which will be included in the first supplemental budget that has not yet been submitted to the City Council.The supplemental budget also includes the charter bonus of city employees.Wenceslao said the amount is on top of the approved P200 million allocated for the Palaro, which also covers the rehabilitation of the Cebu City Sports Center (CCSC), the main venue of the annual multi-sport event. In a phone interview on Friday, Feb. 23, City Councilor Donaldo Hontiveros said the additional funding will cover the installation of LED outdoor-field lights at the CCSC amounting to P23 million, the construction and installation of digital-visual LED display with support frames and posts worth P135.186 million and the construction of the grandstand extension amounting to P47 million.The grandstand extension will be built on the N. Bacalso side of the CCSC, which is currently being used as a parking lot, Hontiveros said.He said the reason they requested additional funding is because these installations and constructions were not included in the initial P200 million budget when it was approved. “During the budget deliberations last year, we weren’t able to conduct a walkthrough with Mayor Mike of what he envisioned of the proposed venue for the opening. Then it was established that the closing ceremony will be at the SRP (South Road Properties),” he said in a mix of Cebuano and English.According to him, the budget for the Palaro is comprehensive, with a significant portion allocated for health services amounting to P5 million.He said another portion of the budget is allocated for technical officials and rental of playing venues, as well as purchase of sports equipment.He said more than a million is allocated for the janitorial services at the playing venues.Original budgetHe said the original budget covers the following:• A subsidy of P4.5 million for the regional athletic delegation; • P7.2 million for organizing the learning convention for athletes and student leaders; • Over P11 million for financial assistance to officials; • P5 million for food and accommodations for committee members from the central office; • P2 million as financial subsidy for the Cebu City schools division to cover meetings and conferences leading to the Palaro; • P20 million for rental and repair maintenance; • P15 million to cover expenses of the opening and closing ceremonies; • P22 million for shower rooms and portalets intended for use during the Central Visayas Regional Athletic Association in May; and• P18 million for food for all personnel, as well as tokens, souvenirs, and other expenses.Hontiveros said the biggest portion of the initial budget will be spent on special events and other related activities, but he did not specify the amount or what the activities are.Once the rehabilitation and civil works at the CCSC and other sports facilities are completed, they hope Cebu City can host Asian competitions, he said. That’s why they are asking for additional funding, he added.After the memorandum of agreement for the hosting of the Palaro was signed last Feb. 2, Hontiveros said the City Government allocated a budget of P200 million for the games. John Pages, Cebu City Sports Commission chairman, said the budget would cover the improvement of the sports facilities and the 20 schools that would be used as billeting quarters, the rehabilitation of the CCSC, as well as the procurement of sports equipment.The Palaro is scheduled to take place from July 6-17, with an expected delegation of about 10,000 to 12,000 individuals, which will be composed of student-athletes and coaches.The schedule of events includes delegate arrivals on July 6 and 7, and solidarity meetings and refresher courses on July 7 and 8. The opening ceremony will be held on July 9 at the CCSC, but the 28-sport competition will not officially start until July 11 and end on 15. The closing ceremony on July 16 will be at the SRP, where this year’s Sinulog Festival was held. The delegations will depart on July 17.

THE Cebu Port Authority (CPA) has condemned the Cebu City Government for blocking the entrance to its port extension project.In an official statement issued on Tuesday, April 2, 2024, the CPA said the City defied the writ of injunction issued in favor of the CPA when it forcibly entered port premises, which are outside its territorial jurisdiction.“Thus, we strongly condemn these flagrant acts of oppression, harassment, grave abuse and usurpation of authority, and blatant disregard of the law and judicial processes committed by men and women in the seat of power who publicly display knowledge of the law yet conceal a weak ethical core,” said the CPA. On Monday, April 1, the City installed rail fences to block the entrance to the CPA’s port extension project located across the Compania Maritima. This, after Mayor Michael Rama learned that the construction of the project had resumed, prompting him to order Cebu City Police Office personnel to report to the area. City officials led by City Administrator Collin Rosell went to the site to enforce the notice of illegal construction and work stoppage order that the Office of the Building Official (OBO) had issued. City Legal Officer Carlo Vincent Gimena sent a statement to SunStar Cebu, stating that the City’s actions were legal and ethical. “Contrary to their unfounded statement, there is no defiance to the writ of preliminary injunction that they mentioned because the implementation of OBO’s order did not touch on the issue of ownership or possession of the subject premises,” said Gimena. He reiterated that the CPA does not have the power or authority to issue building and fencing permits for the construction of its structures. Gimena said the City will do what is necessary within the bounds of the law and ethics to protect the interests of the city. The OBO filed a case against the CPA on March 15 after the latter refused to comply with notices from City Hall regarding its construction of structures without the necessary permits. Last February, the OBO discovered through ocular inspections that the CPA had constructed a perimeter fence, as well as started work on a wharf along the Cebu South Coastal Road near the Malacañang sa Sugbo (now National Museum of the Philippines-Cebu) without securing permits. The City Government has an ongoing ownership dispute with the CPA over the Compania Maritima premises, which is part of the area to be redeveloped under the City’s P8 billion joint venture agreement with Megawide Construction Corp. to modernize the century-old Carbon Public Market. In December 2022, the Regional Trial Court (RTC) granted the CPA’s application for a writ of preliminary injunction to prohibit the City from occupying any portion of the Compania Maritima premises. In August 2023, the RTC denied the City’s motion for reconsideration, and affirmed the CPA’s ownership of the Compania Maritima and its premises. In September 2023, the City had a run-in with the CPA after the CPA installed a steel fence along the seaside near the Compania Maritima. / RJM licensed online casinos THE executive department of the Cebu City Government is asking for an additional P205,974,032 for the Palarong Pambansa (Palaro). In a phone interview on Thursday, Feb. 22, 2024, City Councilor Noel Wenceslao, chairman of the committee on budget and finance, said Mayor Michael Rama already signed the request, which will be included in the first supplemental budget that has not yet been submitted to the City Council.The supplemental budget also includes the charter bonus of city employees.Wenceslao said the amount is on top of the approved P200 million allocated for the Palaro, which also covers the rehabilitation of the Cebu City Sports Center (CCSC), the main venue of the annual multi-sport event. In a phone interview on Friday, Feb. 23, City Councilor Donaldo Hontiveros said the additional funding will cover the installation of LED outdoor-field lights at the CCSC amounting to P23 million, the construction and installation of digital-visual LED display with support frames and posts worth P135.186 million and the construction of the grandstand extension amounting to P47 million.The grandstand extension will be built on the N. Bacalso side of the CCSC, which is currently being used as a parking lot, Hontiveros said.He said the reason they requested additional funding is because these installations and constructions were not included in the initial P200 million budget when it was approved. “During the budget deliberations last year, we weren’t able to conduct a walkthrough with Mayor Mike of what he envisioned of the proposed venue for the opening. Then it was established that the closing ceremony will be at the SRP (South Road Properties),” he said in a mix of Cebuano and English.According to him, the budget for the Palaro is comprehensive, with a significant portion allocated for health services amounting to P5 million.He said another portion of the budget is allocated for technical officials and rental of playing venues, as well as purchase of sports equipment.He said more than a million is allocated for the janitorial services at the playing venues.Original budgetHe said the original budget covers the following:• A subsidy of P4.5 million for the regional athletic delegation; • P7.2 million for organizing the learning convention for athletes and student leaders; • Over P11 million for financial assistance to officials; • P5 million for food and accommodations for committee members from the central office; • P2 million as financial subsidy for the Cebu City schools division to cover meetings and conferences leading to the Palaro; • P20 million for rental and repair maintenance; • P15 million to cover expenses of the opening and closing ceremonies; • P22 million for shower rooms and portalets intended for use during the Central Visayas Regional Athletic Association in May; and• P18 million for food for all personnel, as well as tokens, souvenirs, and other expenses.Hontiveros said the biggest portion of the initial budget will be spent on special events and other related activities, but he did not specify the amount or what the activities are.Once the rehabilitation and civil works at the CCSC and other sports facilities are completed, they hope Cebu City can host Asian competitions, he said. That’s why they are asking for additional funding, he added.After the memorandum of agreement for the hosting of the Palaro was signed last Feb. 2, Hontiveros said the City Government allocated a budget of P200 million for the games. John Pages, Cebu City Sports Commission chairman, said the budget would cover the improvement of the sports facilities and the 20 schools that would be used as billeting quarters, the rehabilitation of the CCSC, as well as the procurement of sports equipment.The Palaro is scheduled to take place from July 6-17, with an expected delegation of about 10,000 to 12,000 individuals, which will be composed of student-athletes and coaches.The schedule of events includes delegate arrivals on July 6 and 7, and solidarity meetings and refresher courses on July 7 and 8. The opening ceremony will be held on July 9 at the CCSC, but the 28-sport competition will not officially start until July 11 and end on 15. The closing ceremony on July 16 will be at the SRP, where this year’s Sinulog Festival was held. The delegations will depart on July 17.
