THE Department of Transportation (DOTr) is planning to return the rail transit as a mode of transportation back to Cebu after several decades.Transportation Undersecretary Timothy John Batan met with Cebu Governor Gwendolyn Garcia on Thursday, February 29, 2024, and introduced to the latter the “Metro Cebu Urban Transport Master Plan.”Railway-based system mode of transportation is nothing new to the Cebuano's as this was one of the major ways to commute from the town of Argao in the south to Danao in the north way back in the colonial times up until the end of the Second World War (WWII).Photo by Earl Kim PadroniaAfter the meeting with Garcia, Batan explained to the reporters in an interview that the project is yet in the pre-planning stages, so there is no concrete timeline, estimated costs, and source of funding yet.The plan was to construct a 67.5-kilometer underground passenger railway line or subway system that would connect Carcar City in the south to as far as Danao City in the north.Batan added that this is similar to the ongoing construction of the 33-kilometer Metro Manila Subway in the National Capital Region.He said that after discussing with the governor, the idea of a public-private partnership (PPP) and the local government unit (LGU) to handle the project was mulled.“We are excited about the possibility of another first: potentially the first subway that will be entirely financed by the local government through various funding strategies and without requiring national government funding,” Batan said.Under the Metro Cebu Urban Transport Master Plan in 2019, Batan said that the railway-based transport backbone was identified as a crucial transportation system to address Cebu's growing need for mass transit."The beauty of the subway as first seen in the subway in Metro Manila is that between stations, we are tunneling underground and people don't even know that we are already building underground, and that is what we are planning to do in Cebu," Batan said.In DOTr's presentation during the meeting, the proposed subway system aims to reduce traffic congestion, reduce travel time, improve interconnection, improve passenger and commuter service, increase climate resiliency, and a more accessible public transportation for vulnerable groups and persons with limited mobility.The masterplan has two phases: Phase 1 will be the Urban Mass Rapid Transport (UMRT) Central Line traversing from Danao City, Compostela, Liloan, Consolacion, Mandaue City, Cebu City, Talisay City, Minglanilla Naga City, San Fernando, and Carcar City.Phase 2 will be the UMRT Coastal line starting from Talisay City, Cebu City, Mandaue City, and Lapu-Lapu City."One of the inputs we received from the discussion is the possibility to include one town north of Consolacion. I think it's Bogo (City) with a big population center, so we will include that into consideration," Batan added. The Metro Cebu Urban Transport Master Plan was completed back in 2019 and was formulated by the Japan International Cooperation Agency (Jica).In a report from the Cebu Provincial Government Public Information Office on Thursday, February 29, 2024, Garcia proposed to the DOTr delegates to allow the Cebu LGUs to take upon the implementation of the proposed project, while DOTr will maintain its supervisory control.The report added that the Provincial Government shall introduce the project to the private firms through its Economic Enterprise Council (EEC) for a possible PPP collaboration, subject to the rules and regulations set by law.With the LGU implementing the project, the necessary permits and the cooperation of the LGUs involved will certainly expedite the execution and completion of the proposed subway project.

Philippines MEMBERS of transport group Piston’s chapter in Cebu will not join the two-day nationwide transport strike organized by its parent organization and Manibela. The strike is scheduled to start on Monday, April 15, 2024, in protest of the government’s Public Utility Vehicle Modernization Program (PUVMP), which has an upcoming deadline for traditional jeepney operators’ consolidation.Greg Perez, leader of Pagkakaisa ng mga Samahan ng Tsuper at Opereytor Nationwide (Piston) in Cebu, said they will instead hold protests on major roads in Metro Cebu and outside the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) 7 office in Cebu City. After the protests, they will continue driving their traditional jeepneys and serving their routes, Perez told SunStar Cebu on Thursday, April 11.Piston Cebu has over 500 drivers and operators as members.“Padayon ang among paglaban sa mga kaigsonan drayber ug mga opereytor para sa pangkabuhayan... ug ang ilahang pamilya pud nga makulban unya og kaldero,” Perez said.

This consolidation will later require the replacement of traditional jeepneys with modern units featuring Euro 4-compliant or electric engines to reduce pollution.Piston Cebu has said its call to scrap the PUVMP remains, as the program forces traditional jeepney operators to not only give up their individual franchises and vehicles but also to buy, using debt, what he called imported, expensive, non-sustainable and frail vehicles, which the operators and drivers would now struggle to pay for.President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. affirmed on Wednesday, April 10, that the April 30 deadline for PUV consolidation is final. Marcos maintains that the PUVMP will not burden drivers and operators, as the National Government offers subsidies for those acquiring modern jeepneys. The program provides drivers/operators with a government subsidy between P200,000 and P300,000 per vehicle and assists with bank financing.Piston and Manibela previously held a transport strike in January over the same issue.A modern PUV (MPUV) can cost around P2.7 million, which means that if acquired through government banks that provide a seven-year term for loans to purchase MPUVs, the monthly amortization would work out to around P30,000. As of March 2024, the LTFRB Central Office reported, 80 percent of PUVs nationwide had complied with the consolidation policy. Philippine National Police (PNP) spokesperson Col.

TO HELP meet their agricultural water requirements amid the ongoing drought, over 2,000 farmers in Cebu City are receiving support from the regional irrigation agency.The National Irrigation Administration (NIA) 7 said there are currently 41 irrigation systems in operation, benefiting a total of 2,763 farmers in the city.Zarline Sambas, media relations officer of NIA 7, told SunStar Cebu on Saturday, April 6, 2024, that these farmers are located in Barangays Adlaon, Agsungot, Binaliw, Bonbon, Budlaan, Buot Taup, Cambinocot, Guba, Lusaran, Mabini, Malubog, Pamutan, Paril, Pulangbato, Sapangdaku, Sirao, Sinsin, Sudlon 1, Sudlon 2, Tagbao, Taptap, Toong and Tabunan.She said they have been serving most of these barangays since last October.The NIA 7 said it had adjusted the cropping calendar, starting the cropping season earlier to October instead of November. For this season, it said it has allocated irrigation for 764 hectares out of 1,159 hectares of firmed-up service areas, prioritizing high-value crops.Sambas said the decision on irrigation allocation was based on dam statuses and expert projections.She said they are exploring alternative water sources, such as deep wells, water tankers or mobile pumps in coordination with other government agencies to supply irrigation to the affected areas.She said the NIA 7 is already looking at constructing a small reservoir irrigation project, such as the proposed impounding dam in Barangay Cambinocot, aimed at boosting existing irrigation systems in the city’s mountain barangays. She said they are conducting feasibility studies on the proposal.Sambas said they will also assess and identify affected areas to determine which farmers in Cebu City will benefit from the cash-for-work program of the Department of Labor and Employment to mitigate their income loss.Cebu City already declared a state of calamity in 28 mountain barangays due to the lack of water and incidents of bushfires as a result of the dry hot season and the effects of the El Niño weather phenomenon.Harold Alcontin, head of the City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office, said the declaration came after at least 500 farmers stopped planting their usual crops due to the damage caused by the lack of water.City Agriculturist Joelito Baclayon said that as of March, 115 hectares of farmland across 28 barangays had been affected by the extreme weather condition.Cebu City currently has 10,719 registered farmers cultivating various crops, such as lettuce, cabbage, cauliflower, cucumber, eggplant, sweet corn and tomato.These farmers are vulnerable to the effects of the ongoing drought.Last month, Casimero Pilones, president of the Alliance of Cebu City Farmers Association, said some members had opted not to cultivate their farms due to the lack of water, leading to a decrease in farm production. The group is composed of 72 farmer associations, with each association having 200 to 300 members.Pilones revealed that farm production had decreased by around 80 percent ince February. He said before the onset of El Niño, farmers used to harvest 1,000 kilos of eggplants, but now they can barely harvest 200 kilos.It was earlier reported that Cebu City’s agriculture industry has the potential to yield between P500,000 to P1 million worth of crops daily, with figures surging to over P1 million during peak seasons.Weather specialist Jhomer Eclarino of the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) Visayas declared a drought in the entire Cebu Island last month.Pagasa defines drought as an extended dry condition, characterized by either experiencing five consecutive months of below-normal rainfall or three months of significantly below-normal rainfall. Below-normal rainfall, as defined, represents a decrease of 20 to 60 percent from the usual amount, while way-below-normal rainfall indicates a reduction of more than 60 percent from the normal figure.The other provinces in the Visayas that are also experiencing drought are Antique, Biliran, Eastern Samar, Guimaras, Iloilo, Leyte, Negros Oriental, Negros Occidental and Samar.Eclarino also warned the public that Cebu’s heat index may reach a “dangerous” 51 degrees Celsius in the coming weeks.A heat index that ranges between 42 and 51 degrees Celsius is considered dangerous, as it can cause heat cramps and exhaustion, as well as a heat stroke during prolonged exposure.The heat index or “feels-like” temperature combines air temperature and humidity to indicate how hot the weather feels to the human body. Eclarino had said that Cebu records its highest temperatures in May, based on historical data.On May 31, 2010, which also coincided with an El Niño phenomenon, Cebu reached its highest surface temperature of 37 degrees Celsius, accompanied by a heat index of 49 degrees Celsius. / KJF

The program provides drivers/operators with a government subsidy between P200,000 and P300,000 per vehicle and assists with bank financing.Piston and Manibela previously held a transport strike in January over the same issue.A modern PUV (MPUV) can cost around P2.7 million, which means that if acquired through government banks that provide a seven-year term for loans to purchase MPUVs, the monthly amortization would work out to around P30,000. As of March 2024, the LTFRB Central Office reported, 80 percent of PUVs nationwide had complied with the consolidation policy. Philippine National Police (PNP) spokesperson Col. Jean Fajardo announced in a press conference at Camp Crame that the PNP is prepared to assist commuters affected by the transport strike. / EHP, TPM / SunStar Philippines licensed online casinos TO HELP meet their agricultural water requirements amid the ongoing drought, over 2,000 farmers in Cebu City are receiving support from the regional irrigation agency.The National Irrigation Administration (NIA) 7 said there are currently 41 irrigation systems in operation, benefiting a total of 2,763 farmers in the city.Zarline Sambas, media relations officer of NIA 7, told SunStar Cebu on Saturday, April 6, 2024, that these farmers are located in Barangays Adlaon, Agsungot, Binaliw, Bonbon, Budlaan, Buot Taup, Cambinocot, Guba, Lusaran, Mabini, Malubog, Pamutan, Paril, Pulangbato, Sapangdaku, Sirao, Sinsin, Sudlon 1, Sudlon 2, Tagbao, Taptap, Toong and Tabunan.She said they have been serving most of these barangays since last October.The NIA 7 said it had adjusted the cropping calendar, starting the cropping season earlier to October instead of November. For this season, it said it has allocated irrigation for 764 hectares out of 1,159 hectares of firmed-up service areas, prioritizing high-value crops.Sambas said the decision on irrigation allocation was based on dam statuses and expert projections.She said they are exploring alternative water sources, such as deep wells, water tankers or mobile pumps in coordination with other government agencies to supply irrigation to the affected areas.She said the NIA 7 is already looking at constructing a small reservoir irrigation project, such as the proposed impounding dam in Barangay Cambinocot, aimed at boosting existing irrigation systems in the city’s mountain barangays. She said they are conducting feasibility studies on the proposal.Sambas said they will also assess and identify affected areas to determine which farmers in Cebu City will benefit from the cash-for-work program of the Department of Labor and Employment to mitigate their income loss.Cebu City already declared a state of calamity in 28 mountain barangays due to the lack of water and incidents of bushfires as a result of the dry hot season and the effects of the El Niño weather phenomenon.Harold Alcontin, head of the City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office, said the declaration came after at least 500 farmers stopped planting their usual crops due to the damage caused by the lack of water.City Agriculturist Joelito Baclayon said that as of March, 115 hectares of farmland across 28 barangays had been affected by the extreme weather condition.Cebu City currently has 10,719 registered farmers cultivating various crops, such as lettuce, cabbage, cauliflower, cucumber, eggplant, sweet corn and tomato.These farmers are vulnerable to the effects of the ongoing drought.Last month, Casimero Pilones, president of the Alliance of Cebu City Farmers Association, said some members had opted not to cultivate their farms due to the lack of water, leading to a decrease in farm production. The group is composed of 72 farmer associations, with each association having 200 to 300 members.Pilones revealed that farm production had decreased by around 80 percent ince February. He said before the onset of El Niño, farmers used to harvest 1,000 kilos of eggplants, but now they can barely harvest 200 kilos.It was earlier reported that Cebu City’s agriculture industry has the potential to yield between P500,000 to P1 million worth of crops daily, with figures surging to over P1 million during peak seasons.Weather specialist Jhomer Eclarino of the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) Visayas declared a drought in the entire Cebu Island last month.Pagasa defines drought as an extended dry condition, characterized by either experiencing five consecutive months of below-normal rainfall or three months of significantly below-normal rainfall. Below-normal rainfall, as defined, represents a decrease of 20 to 60 percent from the usual amount, while way-below-normal rainfall indicates a reduction of more than 60 percent from the normal figure.The other provinces in the Visayas that are also experiencing drought are Antique, Biliran, Eastern Samar, Guimaras, Iloilo, Leyte, Negros Oriental, Negros Occidental and Samar.Eclarino also warned the public that Cebu’s heat index may reach a “dangerous” 51 degrees Celsius in the coming weeks.A heat index that ranges between 42 and 51 degrees Celsius is considered dangerous, as it can cause heat cramps and exhaustion, as well as a heat stroke during prolonged exposure.The heat index or “feels-like” temperature combines air temperature and humidity to indicate how hot the weather feels to the human body. Eclarino had said that Cebu records its highest temperatures in May, based on historical data.On May 31, 2010, which also coincided with an El Niño phenomenon, Cebu reached its highest surface temperature of 37 degrees Celsius, accompanied by a heat index of 49 degrees Celsius. / KJF
