THE Cebu City Government marched into the baseport of the Cebu Port Authority (CPA) and installed rail fences to block the entrance to the latter’s port extension project on Monday, April 1, 2024.A member of the Prevention, Restoration, Order, Beautification and Enhancement (Probe) team cut the padlock of the CPA’s gate to allow city officials led by City Administrator Collin Rosell to enforce the notice of illegal construction and work stoppage order issued by the Office of the Building Official (OBO).This, after Mayor Michael Rama learned that construction had resumed, prompting him to order Cebu City Police Office personnel to report to the area.“Let all the police convene now at CPA (Cebu Port Authority). Leave all stations with people,” Rama said in a press conference on Monday.Right before noon, around 15 police personnel, including a Special Weapons and Tactics team, convened in front of the Compania Maritima. Their job was to monitor the port extension project.When asked about the purpose of having police in the vicinity, Rama said “to wait.”“Let’s see who is the authority,” he said.Past 3 p.m., Cebu City Transportation Office personnel headed by Raquel Arce and personnel from the Cebu City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office headed by Harold Alcontin, along with the Probe team, cleared the area and installed rail fences, while around 60 police personnel waited in the vicinity.Arce and Alcontin were accompanied by City Legal Officer Carlo Vincent Gimena and OBO head architect Florante Catalan.During the clearing operations, construction workers were asked to vacate their makeshift quarters, as the City ordered these demolished.Maj. Efren Diaz, chief of the Waterfront Police Station, said they were there to maintain peace and order.ClarificationDiaz also clarified that they were not taking sides. He said their superiors ordered them deployed for police visibility.Rosell, in a separate interview, said the CPA did not respect the City Government’s order.City Legal Officer Carlo Vincent Gimena said continuing with the construction was a direct defiance of the order.CPA public information officer Mary Knoll Lague-Bolasa, in a chat message to SunStar Cebu, said they had yet to issue an official statement on the matter.Bolasa reiterated CPA’s previous statement that the port extension project is not within the territorial jurisdiction of the Cebu City OBO.But Gimena, in a previous interview, said the CPA is not authorized to construct without permits despite claims that its charter grants it the ability to license, control, regulate and supervise any construction within its port district.Gimena said the Philippine Ports Authority (PPA) did not grant the CPA that authority.The CPA, for its part, maintained that it is “undoubtedly beyond the bounds of authority granted to the City’s building official as provided in Section 207 of Presidential Decree (PD) 1096, or the National Building Code of the Philippines.”Timeline Bolasa also cited Section 6 of the CPA’s Charter, or Republic Act (RA) 7621, saying the CPA is not under the PPA.Section 6 of RA 7621 states that “the territorial jurisdiction of CPA includes all seas, lakes, rivers, and all other navigable inland waterways within the Province of Cebu, including waterways within the City of Cebu and all other highly urbanized cities which may hereafter be created therein.”Last Feb. 2, OBO issued 15 notices of violation to the CPA for buildings and structures before issuing the notice of illegal construction and stoppage order three days later.On March 8, the City installed a biofence in the water to prevent the construction from continuing.On March 15, the City filed criminal cases against the CPA before the Office of the Ombudsman-Visayas for constructing a wharf without the necessary building permit.The respondents were Glenn Castillo, the former general manager of the CPA, and Francisco Comendador III, the current general manager.They were charged with 18 counts of violation of Section 3(e) of RA 3019, Usurpation of Authority under Article 177 of the Revised Penal Code, and violation of Section 301 in relation to Section 213 of PD 1096, as well as administrative cases for grave misconduct, gross neglect of duty, and conduct prejudicial to the best interest of the service. / AML, WBS What online casino are legit?

ANNA PRIMERO Philippine Ultimate Association TUDELA town in the Camotes Islands is one of 75 municipalities nationwide selected to receive P13.3 million in funding for enhancing local water supply and sanitation services.The funding will come from the Support and Assistance Fund to Participatory Budgeting (SAFPB), as announced by Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) Secretary Benjamin Abalos during the program’s national launch in Cebu City on Feb. 21, 2024.Abalos said the program aims to improve water supply by expanding and upgrading local water systems in identified municipalities. It will also support sanitation and hygiene facilities involving the construction and rehabilitation of sanitary toilets with hygiene facilities in public places.He added that the national program supports President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr.'s open government partnership, promoting good governance, participatory governance, and public accountability.

Their job was to monitor the port extension project.When asked about the purpose of having police in the vicinity, Rama said “to wait.”“Let’s see who is the authority,” he said.Past 3 p.m., Cebu City Transportation Office personnel headed by Raquel Arce and personnel from the Cebu City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office headed by Harold Alcontin, along with the Probe team, cleared the area and installed rail fences, while around 60 police personnel waited in the vicinity.Arce and Alcontin were accompanied by City Legal Officer Carlo Vincent Gimena and OBO head architect Florante Catalan.During the clearing operations, construction workers were asked to vacate their makeshift quarters, as the City ordered these demolished.Maj. Efren Diaz, chief of the Waterfront Police Station, said they were there to maintain peace and order.ClarificationDiaz also clarified that they were not taking sides. He said their superiors ordered them deployed for police visibility.Rosell, in a separate interview, said the CPA did not respect the City Government’s order.City Legal Officer Carlo Vincent Gimena said continuing with the construction was a direct defiance of the order.CPA public information officer Mary Knoll Lague-Bolasa, in a chat message to SunStar Cebu, said they had yet to issue an official statement on the matter.Bolasa reiterated CPA’s previous statement that the port extension project is not within the territorial jurisdiction of the Cebu City OBO.But Gimena, in a previous interview, said the CPA is not authorized to construct without permits despite claims that its charter grants it the ability to license, control, regulate and supervise any construction within its port district.Gimena said the Philippine Ports Authority (PPA) did not grant the CPA that authority.The CPA, for its part, maintained that it is “undoubtedly beyond the bounds of authority granted to the City’s building official as provided in Section 207 of Presidential Decree (PD) 1096, or the National Building Code of the Philippines.”Timeline Bolasa also cited Section 6 of the CPA’s Charter, or Republic Act (RA) 7621, saying the CPA is not under the PPA.Section 6 of RA 7621 states that “the territorial jurisdiction of CPA includes all seas, lakes, rivers, and all other navigable inland waterways within the Province of Cebu, including waterways within the City of Cebu and all other highly urbanized cities which may hereafter be created therein.”Last Feb. 2, OBO issued 15 notices of violation to the CPA for buildings and structures before issuing the notice of illegal construction and stoppage order three days later.On March 8, the City installed a biofence in the water to prevent the construction from continuing.On March 15, the City filed criminal cases against the CPA before the Office of the Ombudsman-Visayas for constructing a wharf without the necessary building permit.The respondents were Glenn Castillo, the former general manager of the CPA, and Francisco Comendador III, the current general manager.They were charged with 18 counts of violation of Section 3(e) of RA 3019, Usurpation of Authority under Article 177 of the Revised Penal Code, and violation of Section 301 in relation to Section 213 of PD 1096, as well as administrative cases for grave misconduct, gross neglect of duty, and conduct prejudicial to the best interest of the service. / AML, WBS Philippine Ultimate Association .

PEDESTRIANS have complained about the alleged poor management and lack of safety precautions with regard to the ongoing implementation of the first package of the Cebu Bus Rapid Transit (CBRT) project.

Bacalso Ave. to the front of the Capitol building along Osmeña Blvd.It passes the Cebu Normal University (CNU), City Central Elementary School and the Abellana National School, which have thousands of students and pupils.A skywalk used to straddle the wide thoroughfare, providing safe crossing, but this was demolished along with the skywalk in front of the Department of Health 7 office last February to make way for the project.Pedestrians, many of them students and pupils from the schools in the vicinity, criticized the lack of signages and insufficient barriers to protect them from passing vehicles.Joshua Dave Ardimer, a student at CNU, told SunStar Cebu on Wednesday, March 12, 2024, that the removal of the skywalk has inconvenienced them, affecting their safety whenever they cross Osmeña Blvd.“In terms of the safety management, I think kailangan siya butangan ug (they need to install) proper precautions na materials or anything na itabon sa mga delikado na (that will cover dangerous) areas,” he said.“There aren’t enough signages (to warn pedestrians), especially with so many schools in the vicinity. You know how unruly elementary pupils can get. So there’s a good chance they’ll get into an accident like hurting themselves from the metal cables that are sticking out from the ground,” he said in a mix of Cebuano and English.Kent Francesco Jongoy, Cebu City Transportation Office legal officer and assistant head, admitted that there are risk hazards in the area, including an open pit and debris from the ongoing civil works of the CBRT project.He urged the Department of Transportation (DOTr) to remind the contractor to strengthen safety measures. Currently the only safety measure in place is a yellow tape that cordons off the excavations, he said.Deployment“I hope the DOTr will also do its job of informing the contractor of the basics of construction safety kay dili man nato malikayan (because it can’t be helped). Asa man nato palakwon ang mga tawo (Where will the people walk)? Adto sa kalsada (On the street)? There’s a portion that is walkable but considering the population of the schools in the area.

Landon St. and Osmeña Blvd., three at the corner of N. Bacalso and P. del Rosario, three on Leon Kilat St. corner J. Alcantara St. and N. Bacalso, and another two at P. del Rosario corner Junquera St.He said the enforcers work in two shifts, from 6 a.m. to 2 p.m. and from 2 p.m. to 10 p.m.He said patrol teams monitor and handle traffic for the rest of the night until the wee hours of the morning.Jongoy emphasized the need to deploy enforcers to prioritize the safety of pedestrians, many of them students.The DOTr had promised to install pedestrian crossings where the two skywalks stood, but as of press time there were none. Meanwhile, Jongoy asked for the public’s understanding regarding enforcers who take shade, especially during the hottest hours of the day.He said they also need to protect themselves from the intense heat of the sun.Jongoy assured that enforcers are in the middle of intersections manning traffic during peak hours.However, a street vendor who wished not to be identified told SunStar Cebu that they barely feel the presence of the traffic enforcers. “Adto ra gyud siya sa may eskina duol sa traffic lights.

It will also support sanitation and hygiene facilities involving the construction and rehabilitation of sanitary toilets with hygiene facilities in public places.He added that the national program supports President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr.'s open government partnership, promoting good governance, participatory governance, and public accountability. Civil society organizations are involved in the project development.Department of Budget and Management (DBM) Secretary Amenah Pangandaman said they have allocated a total of P1 billion in funding for the program covered by the fiscal year 2024 General Appropriations Act or Republic Act 11975.This funding will be shared equally among the chosen beneficiaries of the program's partner local government units (LGUs), with each town receiving P13,333,333.Water, sanitation accessPangandaman said the program will complement the United Nations' sixth Sustainable Development Goal (SDG), which aims to ensure universal access to water and sanitation."We are still under red in that part. Many areas in our country still lack water supply or access to water. It was shown there that those really lacking are the fourth to sixth class municipalities," she said in Filipino, referring to the study by the World Bank released in 2023 on the implementation of the UN's SDG.Abalos said municipalities that belong to the fourth to sixth income class are eligible for a targeted initiative aimed at enhancing their water and sanitation infrastructure."They should have a well-managed LGU utility, and of course they are project-ready. Third, they should be validated by a civil society," he said.Abalos said that across the country there are a total of 75 towns identified for the project implementation of SAFPB, of which seven of them are from Central Visayas.The secretary said that aside from Tudela in Cebu, included are the towns of Albuquerque, Bien Unido, Dagohoy and San Miguel in Bohol; Zamboanguita in Negros Oriental and Larena in Siquijor.SunStar Cebu tried to obtain the full list of the 75 towns identified for SAFPB implementation from DILG 7.

Abalos did not disclose the names of these LGUs.Funding guidelinesTo ensure effective fund utilization, Pangandaman said there is a stringent process to follow for fund release and project management has been outlined.Beneficiary towns are required to submit a notarized omnibus sworn statement endorsing the necessary documents to the DILG by April 30, 2024.Upon verification by DILG regional offices, the endorsed documents will be forwarded to the DILG Central Office for review and recommendation to the DBM for fund release.Upon receipt of the allocated funds, they are mandated to record the SAFPB fund as a trust fund and notify DILG of the fund transfer within 30 calendar days.Between March and April of this year, various government agencies will collaborate to gather all the requirements and documents for the program.The funds are planned to be released to the 75 LGUs in May, and the procurement process is scheduled to take place between June and July.The projects should be implemented no later than December 31, 2025.The budget secretary said any unutilized or undisbursed funds are required to be reverted to the Bureau of Treasury, and the DILG must be notified of any funds reversion.Pangandaman said the program imposes strict prohibitions on fund utilization, prohibiting diversion for purposes other than the designated projects, funding projects already covered by other sources, and expenditures on specified items such as personal services, administrative expenses, travel, and procurement of non-project-related assets.Abalos said that project implementation must adhere to approved designs, plans, and specifications in compliance with relevant laws, circulars, and regulations governing procurement, budgeting, accounting, and auditing.SunStar Cebu tried to contact Tudela Mayor Greman Solante for an interview on Thursday to discuss their implementation of the SAFPB assistance but to no avail.
