Cebu City Mayor Michael Rama wants the fair market value in the revised real property tax (RPT) ordinance to reflect the current rate, despite calls from businessmen to stagger its implementation.“Pass the law, and we can discuss the implementing rules after,” Rama said over Cebu City Hall’s online program “Ingna’ng Mayor” on Thursday, Feb. 29, 2024.As the mayor of the City of Cebu, Rama said he wants it approved.On Tuesday, Feb. 27, Rama urged the City Council to pass the ordinance pertaining to the revised RPT before the end of this month.However, City Councilor Noel Eleuterio Wenceslao, chairman of the committee on budget and finance, said he still needs to meet the other councilors to discuss the matter and reach a consensus.Wenceslao said jumping to final deliberations without having the stance of the majority might simply defer the ordinance.In his point of view as a lawyer, Rama argued that implementing rules may be deferred within reasonable time to allow those affected to adjust their operational and financial management.“But let the fair market value already be back to what it is at the current time,” Rama said.Rama found it unfair that property owners have enjoyed paying taxes based on the value 20 years ago.The RPT Code of Cebu City was last revised in 2002.“Ang yuta bayran na unta (The tax paid on real estate should be) on the present value,” Rama said.He said it is the rich’s corporate social responsibility to share by paying the right amount of taxes.ReactionOn Saturday, Cebu Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CCCI) president Jay Yuvallos said they are proactively working with the mayor, his team and the City Council on this. On the matter of the fair market valuation, he said they hope that it will reflect a truthful and realistic value. “Certainly not based on speculation (bloated), a reflection of a fair value will also protect the land owner,” he said. He said the mayor has also intimated that the implementation will be on a staggered basis. “What is important and the clamor of everyone is that the increase will be gradual so that it becomes affordable. This is subject to a more thorough discussion when we get there,” he said, adding: “We also take cognizance of the fact that they need revenues to finance projects which we also want to see very soon, especially infrastructure projects that can significantly impact the lives of every Cebuano.”Yuvallos said the goal of the chamber is to help its members and the business community in general to expand and grow business. “This will in effect widen the tax base (not only RPT) as a source of revenue for the City. We will work with the City on the ‘Ease of Doing Business’ and helping promote a Business-Friendly Cebu City as what the mayor wanted to espouse,” he said. He said the CCCI will introduce programs that will encourage expansion and investments into the city and promote global competitiveness of the enterprises in Cebu.Proposed ordinanceUnder the proposed ordinance, the formula for deriving the total tax due as explained during the public hearing Friday is getting first the market value of the property. This can be determined by multiplying the land area by the fair market value (FMV).Skyrocketing taxesAfterwards, the market value will be multiplied by the assessment level, which will generate the assessed value. Then, the assessed value will be multiplied by the three percent tax rate. The result is the total tax due.For instance, a 1,493-square-meter commercial property in the Cebu IT Park with a current tax due of P26,874 will have a tax due of P895,800 once the updated tax ordinance gets implemented.Similarly, a portion of Cebu Business Park under the jurisdiction of Barangay Hipodromo will see its FMV shoot up to P245,000 from P16,300 per square meter, significantly affecting the RPT that Ayala Land will have to cough up if the measure is approved.In the proposed RPT ordinance, the market value of properties in some prime locations in Cebu City is expected to increase from 200 to 3,200 percent. Mayor Rama urged the passage of the RPT Code in order to raise funds to realize the objectives of his administration like the Gubat sa Baha (War against Flooding) and other projects like the transitional housing that will house the families affected by the clearing of three-meter easement zones.On Cebu City Hall’s online program “Pagtuki, Pagsusi, Pagsuta” on Wednesday, Feb. 28, City Budget Officer Jerone Castillo said P600 million is intended for the design and construction of 600 transitional housing units for the first phase of the project.The P600 million is one of the items in the first supplemental budget that the executive department has requested the council to approve this year.Other items include budget allocations for the Palarong Pambansa, Charter day bonus, and adjustments for the City Council. Is Philippines good at basketball? Philippines MOALBOAL Mayor Inocentes Cabaron has issued a stern warning to tourists in that southern town, particularly those engaged in water activities, to refrain from disturbing marine life.“We will not tolerate actions such as this,” said Cabaron after a video surfaced online last Monday, March 11, 2024, showing a female tourist touching a sea turtle while snorkeling in Panagsama Beach, one of Moalboal’s top tourist attractions. The video concerned netizens. It gained 3.4 million views as of 8 p.m. Friday, March 15.“Shoutout to the woman who can’t understand simple instructions. She’s been told numerous times that it’s ‘prohibited’ to touch the turtles. Not only did she touch them, she even pushed them,” the uploader under the TikTok handle “HomeWorkoutBasic” said in Pilipino. The incident reportedly happened on Saturday, March 9. “What happened to this woman? She’s not following the rules! She knows that touching sea turtles is not allowed,” another Facebook user said while sharing a SunStar Cebu post on the matter. Moalboal officials have since issued a reminder to the public on Wednesday, March 13, emphasizing the importance of respecting marine wildlife and refraining from any activities that may cause harm to them. Cabaron expressed disappointment saying that tourists are given a thorough briefing on proper conduct before participating in any activities. “They are told not to touch the marine life because we have a local ordinance that [protects] them. It is disappointing that despite the briefing and regular reminders, incidents like this happen,” said Cabaron.The mayor explained that there is a local ordinance in place that aims to protect marine life, and anyone caught violating the ordinance will be fined P2,500.The ordinance entitled “Institutionalizing and regulating the conduct of snorkeling and island hopping activities within the Pescador Island, marine protected areas, and other coastal areas within the municipal waters, and the establishment of the environmental user’s fee system” was passed on Sept. 27, 2021.Section 20 of the ordinance lists 13 violations, including a prohibition on touching any marine life.Moalboal officials are now looking for the tourist and her local guide that was seen in the video.“We treasure and protect our marine life because as a tourist town, it is a major factor in our economy. We will not tolerate actions such as this and we will ensure that the individual will be fined to discourage similar reckless actions,” Cabaron said.Wild animalsMylene Panuncial-Sadagnot, a marine biologist for 21 years and professor at Cebu Normal University, said turtles, like other wild animals, are not domesticated pets that go about and seek people’s attention at times.She also said touching turtles could provoke them to retaliate or bite if they feel agitated by the presence of humans viewed as a potential threat.Sadagnot observed that turtles in Moalboal do not necessarily reproduce there, as they primarily use the area as a feeding ground rather than a breeding site. Male turtles eventually migrate and depart for the breeding season, leaving female turtles accustomed to the environment.She explained the situation is dangerous for both humans and turtles as it could result in bites or wounds that could be severe for humans; and secondly, turtles might be vulnerable to poaching.Poaching refers to the illegal hunting, capturing, or killing of wildlife, typically for commercial gain. Additionally, the waters of Moalboal are part of the Tañon Strait Protected Seascape, located between the islands of Cebu and Negros. It is the largest marine protected area in the Philippines, covering 5,182 square kilometers.Under Presidential Proclamation 1234, which created the protected seascape in 1998, the entire Tañon Strait is protected, and all cetaceans are afforded full protection by local and national laws.Cabaron said the local tourism office is moving to improve the quality of snorkeling guides by having them accredited by the Department of Tourism. To achieve this, officials recently conducted a seven-day seminar for around 200 guides in Moalboal. The seminar mainly focused on teaching proper protocols in handling guests and marine life. / KJF, CDF

That is what the Philippines will always work for,” said Marcos.“However, we also have to respond to the actual situation on the ground.

Mayor Rama urged the passage of the RPT Code in order to raise funds to realize the objectives of his administration like the Gubat sa Baha (War against Flooding) and other projects like the transitional housing that will house the families affected by the clearing of three-meter easement zones.On Cebu City Hall’s online program “Pagtuki, Pagsusi, Pagsuta” on Wednesday, Feb. 28, City Budget Officer Jerone Castillo said P600 million is intended for the design and construction of 600 transitional housing units for the first phase of the project.The P600 million is one of the items in the first supplemental budget that the executive department has requested the council to approve this year.Other items include budget allocations for the Palarong Pambansa, Charter day bonus, and adjustments for the City Council.

MOALBOAL Mayor Inocentes Cabaron has issued a stern warning to tourists in that southern town, particularly those engaged in water activities, to refrain from disturbing marine life.“We will not tolerate actions such as this,” said Cabaron after a video surfaced online last Monday, March 11, 2024, showing a female tourist touching a sea turtle while snorkeling in Panagsama Beach, one of Moalboal’s top tourist attractions. The video concerned netizens. It gained 3.4 million views as of 8 p.m. Friday, March 15.“Shoutout to the woman who can’t understand simple instructions. She’s been told numerous times that it’s ‘prohibited’ to touch the turtles. Not only did she touch them, she even pushed them,” the uploader under the TikTok handle “HomeWorkoutBasic” said in Pilipino. The incident reportedly happened on Saturday, March 9. “What happened to this woman? She’s not following the rules! She knows that touching sea turtles is not allowed,” another Facebook user said while sharing a SunStar Cebu post on the matter. Moalboal officials have since issued a reminder to the public on Wednesday, March 13, emphasizing the importance of respecting marine wildlife and refraining from any activities that may cause harm to them. Cabaron expressed disappointment saying that tourists are given a thorough briefing on proper conduct before participating in any activities. “They are told not to touch the marine life because we have a local ordinance that [protects] them. It is disappointing that despite the briefing and regular reminders, incidents like this happen,” said Cabaron.The mayor explained that there is a local ordinance in place that aims to protect marine life, and anyone caught violating the ordinance will be fined P2,500.The ordinance entitled “Institutionalizing and regulating the conduct of snorkeling and island hopping activities within the Pescador Island, marine protected areas, and other coastal areas within the municipal waters, and the establishment of the environmental user’s fee system” was passed on Sept. 27, 2021.Section 20 of the ordinance lists 13 violations, including a prohibition on touching any marine life.Moalboal officials are now looking for the tourist and her local guide that was seen in the video.“We treasure and protect our marine life because as a tourist town, it is a major factor in our economy. We will not tolerate actions such as this and we will ensure that the individual will be fined to discourage similar reckless actions,” Cabaron said.Wild animalsMylene Panuncial-Sadagnot, a marine biologist for 21 years and professor at Cebu Normal University, said turtles, like other wild animals, are not domesticated pets that go about and seek people’s attention at times.She also said touching turtles could provoke them to retaliate or bite if they feel agitated by the presence of humans viewed as a potential threat.Sadagnot observed that turtles in Moalboal do not necessarily reproduce there, as they primarily use the area as a feeding ground rather than a breeding site. Male turtles eventually migrate and depart for the breeding season, leaving female turtles accustomed to the environment.She explained the situation is dangerous for both humans and turtles as it could result in bites or wounds that could be severe for humans; and secondly, turtles might be vulnerable to poaching.Poaching refers to the illegal hunting, capturing, or killing of wildlife, typically for commercial gain. Additionally, the waters of Moalboal are part of the Tañon Strait Protected Seascape, located between the islands of Cebu and Negros. It is the largest marine protected area in the Philippines, covering 5,182 square kilometers.Under Presidential Proclamation 1234, which created the protected seascape in 1998, the entire Tañon Strait is protected, and all cetaceans are afforded full protection by local and national laws.Cabaron said the local tourism office is moving to improve the quality of snorkeling guides by having them accredited by the Department of Tourism. To achieve this, officials recently conducted a seven-day seminar for around 200 guides in Moalboal. The seminar mainly focused on teaching proper protocols in handling guests and marine life. / KJF, CDF licensed online casinos PRESIDENT Ferdinand Marcos Jr. reiterated the country’s commitment in promoting peace in the region amid prevailing disputes particularly in the West Philippine Sea (WPS), but he stressed that the Philippines will still respond to the actual situation on the ground.During the courtesy call of newly appointed Japanese Ambassador to the Philippines Endo Kazuya in Malacañang on Thursday, April 4, Marcos said the Philippines cannot just ignore what is happening in the WPS.“When it comes to foreign policy and that we analyze geopolitics, this is the most important thing that we must find a way to keep it (WPS) at peace. That is what the Philippines will always work for,” said Marcos.“However, we also have to respond to the actual situation on the ground. They cannot cover our eyes and pretend that nothing happened,” he added.China has been continuously harassing and intervening the Philippines in conducting routine rotation and resupply missions, particularly in Ayungin Shoal where its BRP Sierra Madre was deliberately grounded to signify its sovereignty in the area.The recent incident where Chinese vessels bombarded the Philippine ships with water has resulted in the injury to three navy personnel and serious damage to the Filipino vessel.China has been maintaining their sovereign right in the WPS (South China Sea), refusing to recognize an arbitral ruling that invalidates their claims.Marcos earlier maintained that the Philippines will not yield, as he ordered relevant National Government agencies and instrumentalities to implement a response and countermeasure package that is “proportionate, deliberate, and reasonable in the face of the open, unabating, and illegal, coercive, aggressive, and dangerous attacks by agents of the China Coast Guard and the Chinese Maritime Militia.”"We seek no conflict with any nation, more so nations that purport and claim to be our friends but we will not be cowed into silence, submission, or subservience. Filipinos do not yield," he added.Marcos expressed gratitude to Japan for its assistance in terms of not only in equipment but also in training which he said was “very important.”He said there are additional dimensions to the Philippine-Japan relationship, which now feature security and defense, as he stressed the need to adjust the way the two nations do business together.The goal, he said, is to keep the South China Sea as an area where there is freedom of navigation and trade in that part of the world. “That’s all we wish for and so we are happy that once we try to do that we have you as part of it,” Marcos said.
