THE Department of Agriculture (DA), Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), and Department of Energy signed on Thursday, March 21, 2024, a joint administrative order (JAO) increasing the special discount to senior citizens and persons with disability (PWDs) for their purchase of basic and prime commodities.From the current P65 per week, special discounts for senior citizens and PWDs was increased to P125 per week or P500 per month in line with the initiative of House Speaker Martin Romualdez, who earlier noted that the P260 monthly special discounts on groceries and other basic needs is no longer responsive given the increasing cost of living.Covered for special discounts were rice, fish, pork, poultry meat and eggs, coffee, milk, condiments, other dairy products and cooking gas, and prime commodities like veterinary goods, certain construction materials and farm inputs like fertilizers, and herbicides, pesticides, poultry, fishery and livestock feeds.Under the JAO, the total value of goods senior citizens and PWDs could purchase at a discounted price was also substantially raised to P2,500 a week from P1,300 or P10,000 a month from P5,200.“Providing senior citizens and the differently-abled with additional discounts on agricultural products forms part of President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.’s vision of providing Filipinos with affordable food and better nutrition,” said Agriculture Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.“This special discount will be magnified once our strategy to produce more food by modernizing agriculture bear fruit,” he added.The special discount is on top of the 20 percent statutory discount granted under Republic Act 9994, or the Expanded Senior Citizens Act of 2010, and Republic Act 10754, or An Act Expanding the Benefits and Privileges of PWDs.It was noted, however, that special discounts are not applicable to registered Barangay Micro Business Establishments and cooperatives.The JAO, which is expected to take effect next month, allows businesses who would grant the special discount to deduct these on their income tax payment.

Philippines THE Cebu Provincial Board (PB) has expressed its opposition to the ongoing implementation of the Cebu Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) project in Cebu City. During its regular session on Monday, March 4, 2024, the PB passed a resolution calling for the project to be stopped, citing the inconvenience and negative effects it has brought not only to the constituents of Cebu City but also to Cebu Province and the rest of the island.The resolution entitled “A resolution recommending the stoppage of the Cebu Bus Rapid Transit (CBRT) in Cebu City due to its contribution to the worsening traffic condition thereby causing great inconvenience to the people of Cebu and causing negative economic effects to the entire people of Cebu” was authored by Sixth District PB Member Glenn Soco, Fifth District PB Member and committee on infrastructure and public works chairman Red Duterte and Third District PB Member John Ismael Borgonia. Feasibility questionedIn his privilege speech, Soco questioned the project’s feasibility due to the proponent’s failure to divulge details regarding the operation such as the type of buses to use, who will be the operator and the potential fare. Duterte, who also chairs the tourism committee, said he received reports and concerns that tourists on their way to the south experienced heavy traffic due to the CBRT project, which runs through two major thoroughfares.Borgonia said they are in unison with the recent call of the Cebu City Council to suspend the CBRT project. However, Borgonia’s question as to “why now” (why only a year after the groundbreaking did the council object to the project) remains addressed to the Cebu City Council.The Cebu City Council, through a motion pushed by City Councilor James Anthony Cuenco, called for the suspension of scheduled civil works for CBRT Packages 2 and 3 last Feb. 21.Cuenco also pushed for the CBRT management to first resolve pending issues hounding the construction of Package 1, and its proposed partial operation this year.Last Feb. 28, Vice Mayor Raymond Alvin Garcia also requested the Office of the Building Official to issue a cease and desist order against the CBRT contractor, Hunan Road and Bridge Construction Group Ltd., for its building of bus stations on Osmeña Blvd., for the threat it posed on the integrity of the city’s heritage and culture.A day earlier, the Provincial Capitol had warned that the bus stations appeared to be located within the buffer zones of the Capitol building and the Fuente Osmeña Rotunda, both of which could easily qualify as heritage zones. The warning appeared in Memorandum 16-2024 issued by Gov. Gwendolyn Garcia ordering a stop to all civil works within Capitol-owned lots on Osmeña Blvd. for possible violation of the National Cultural Heritage Act of 2009.Vice Mayor Garcia also said CBRT management should come up with a better design for the stations that can be submitted and proposed to the appropriate bodies, including the National Commission for Culture and the Arts, Cultural and Historical Affairs Commission and the Cebu City Council.‘Countless’ complaintsPB Member Soco, in his manifestation on Monday, said they received “countless” complaints on how the project, since its inception, had caused “great inconvenience” in some parts of Cebu City and Cebu Province. Aside from the riding public, he said the project had affected the livelihood of commuters and motorists alike. Soco said many commuters also have to wait long to catch a ride because many public utility vehicles are stuck in traffic.He pointed out that President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., during the groundbreaking ceremony in February 2023, announced that the project would be operational by December 2023. However, it was pushed to June 2024. “How much more economic losses do we have to suffer and endure? How many more canceled meetings, late mornings coming in to work and even our school children are greatly affected by the inconvenience? Thousands and even millions of pesos were lost in logistical and transportation expenses, and this is greatly felt by our businesspeople,” he said. “We are not against progress and development, but we are for what is right, just and what could benefit the greater majority, which is the Cebuanos,” he said. Soco said the project’s cost has ballooned also to P28.8 billion from the original cost a few years ago. Soco also questioned why the roads were not widened before the project was implemented. He said Osmeña Blvd.’s six lanes have been reduced to four lanes to accommodate a dedicated bus lane for the project. He said similar proposed BRT projects in the country remain unimplemented due to various issues raised in the planning stages. Lack of consulationSoco said various countries with proposed BRT projects have already abandoned them due to their unfeasibility.He said project proponent Department of Transportation (DOTr) could have consulted the Cebu Provincial Government for a seamless and timely implementation of the CBRT project, but the latter failed to do so. A copy of the resolution will be furnished to Cebu City Mayor Michael Rama, Governor Garcia and DOTr Secretary Jaime Bautista. The PB also passed a resolution calling for the stoppage of the CBRT project in front of the Capitol building, saying the project violates Republic Act (RA) 10066, or the National Cultural Heritage Act of 2009, which mandates the protection, conservation and preservation of the national cultural heritage. Last week, the governor issued a cease and desist order halting the construction of bus stations in front of the Capitol and in the vicinity of Fuente Osmeña due to their alleged violation of RA 10066. With the current design, the bus stations will potentially block the view of the Capitol building from the rotunda. The resolution, authored by Borgonia, also said the bus stations’ design clashed with the neoclassical and art deco style of the Capitol building. / EHP, JJL

A MEMBER of the LGBTQIA+ community in Cebu has demanded a public apology from the staff members of a club located in a hotel in Cebu City, citing incidents of SOGIESC-based violations against dignity and discrimination.Czar Dabon, a transgender woman, complained of experiencing discrimination after being denied entry by a lady guard of Agwa, who allegedly insisted on stamping Dabon and making the complainant pay a P200 entry fee.“This entire ordeal occurred in public areas where onlookers became privy to my verbal discrimination, which caused me to be extremely humiliated, on top of the offensive treatment that I was already being subjected to,” reads a portion of Dabon’s incident report.LGBTQIA+ stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, questioning, intersex, or asexual.A copy of the incident report was sent to SunStar Cebu by Dabon’s friend on Wednesday, Feb. 7, 2024, three days after the incident happened on Feb. 4.SunStar Cebu tried to get the side of the management of Agwa but it has yet to provide an official statement as of press time.SOGIESC is an acronym to connote sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, and sex characteristics.Feb. 4 incidentAfter being denied entry to the club on Feb. 4, Dabon proceeded to the registration area and explained that a friend had reserved a table inside.Although the staff confirmed the reservation, they insisted on applying a wrist stamp due to the policy for males.Based on the complainant’s incident report, a friend defended Dabon’s identity as a woman. However, the complainant was still required to have the wrist stamp.Dabon expressed confusion, as Dabon had visited the establishment two months prior without encountering such an entry requirement.In response, a staff member said, “Aw, basin babaye kaayo kag pamorma ato’ (Well, maybe you looked very much like a girl at that time).”“I also feel that the specific word bayot meaning homosexual man, has been repeatedly said to my face in an offensive and malicious manner by more than one staff member that night,” said Dabon.On Feb. 7, Dabon sent an email to the manager of Agwa reporting the incident to find a resolution to the issue but as of writing the club has yet to respond to Dabon’s email.On Feb 9. Dabon filed a blotter report at the Mabolo Police Station’s Women and Children’s Protection Desk and has sent a follow-up email but has not received any response.Dabon describes the incident as humiliating after being called names in front of people.While Dabon aims to avoid legal action, Dabon urged the club to reconsider its door policy.Cebu City ordinanceDabon maintained that while the club has the right to determine the policies of its business, it does not have the right to invade human rights.“My right to self-determination, dignity, and equality are inalienable, and you do not get to take it away simply because you run a business, especially not if you run a business in a city which recognizes these rights,” Dabon said.While the SOGIE Bill is still in the Senate, the Cebu City Government has passed an ordinance that recognizes the SOGIESC of every person.The Cebu City government passed in August 2022 City Ordinance 2022, which provides specific penalties for the following offense: (a.) maliciously humiliating someone in public due to sexual orientation; (b.) inflicting physical harm on an individual due to sexual orientation; (c.) vexing, harassing, threatening, whether verbal or physical, and subjecting the individual to jokes, pranks, and humor based on sexual orientation.Penalties for SOGIESC-based discrimination include six months of imprisonment and/or P5,000 or both at the discretion of the court.Dabon claimed that this was not the first time that an incident of discrimination happened in the bar. Dabon added that the club must have regular SOGIE seminars for their staff, including senior management.

During its regular session on Monday, March 4, 2024, the PB passed a resolution calling for the project to be stopped, citing the inconvenience and negative effects it has brought not only to the constituents of Cebu City but also to Cebu Province and the rest of the island.The resolution entitled “A resolution recommending the stoppage of the Cebu Bus Rapid Transit (CBRT) in Cebu City due to its contribution to the worsening traffic condition thereby causing great inconvenience to the people of Cebu and causing negative economic effects to the entire people of Cebu” was authored by Sixth District PB Member Glenn Soco, Fifth District PB Member and committee on infrastructure and public works chairman Red Duterte and Third District PB Member John Ismael Borgonia. Feasibility questionedIn his privilege speech, Soco questioned the project’s feasibility due to the proponent’s failure to divulge details regarding the operation such as the type of buses to use, who will be the operator and the potential fare. Duterte, who also chairs the tourism committee, said he received reports and concerns that tourists on their way to the south experienced heavy traffic due to the CBRT project, which runs through two major thoroughfares.Borgonia said they are in unison with the recent call of the Cebu City Council to suspend the CBRT project. However, Borgonia’s question as to “why now” (why only a year after the groundbreaking did the council object to the project) remains addressed to the Cebu City Council.The Cebu City Council, through a motion pushed by City Councilor James Anthony Cuenco, called for the suspension of scheduled civil works for CBRT Packages 2 and 3 last Feb. 21.Cuenco also pushed for the CBRT management to first resolve pending issues hounding the construction of Package 1, and its proposed partial operation this year.Last Feb. 28, Vice Mayor Raymond Alvin Garcia also requested the Office of the Building Official to issue a cease and desist order against the CBRT contractor, Hunan Road and Bridge Construction Group Ltd., for its building of bus stations on Osmeña Blvd., for the threat it posed on the integrity of the city’s heritage and culture.A day earlier, the Provincial Capitol had warned that the bus stations appeared to be located within the buffer zones of the Capitol building and the Fuente Osmeña Rotunda, both of which could easily qualify as heritage zones. The warning appeared in Memorandum 16-2024 issued by Gov. Gwendolyn Garcia ordering a stop to all civil works within Capitol-owned lots on Osmeña Blvd. for possible violation of the National Cultural Heritage Act of 2009.Vice Mayor Garcia also said CBRT management should come up with a better design for the stations that can be submitted and proposed to the appropriate bodies, including the National Commission for Culture and the Arts, Cultural and Historical Affairs Commission and the Cebu City Council.‘Countless’ complaintsPB Member Soco, in his manifestation on Monday, said they received “countless” complaints on how the project, since its inception, had caused “great inconvenience” in some parts of Cebu City and Cebu Province. Aside from the riding public, he said the project had affected the livelihood of commuters and motorists alike. Soco said many commuters also have to wait long to catch a ride because many public utility vehicles are stuck in traffic.He pointed out that President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., during the groundbreaking ceremony in February 2023, announced that the project would be operational by December 2023. However, it was pushed to June 2024. “How much more economic losses do we have to suffer and endure? How many more canceled meetings, late mornings coming in to work and even our school children are greatly affected by the inconvenience? Thousands and even millions of pesos were lost in logistical and transportation expenses, and this is greatly felt by our businesspeople,” he said. “We are not against progress and development, but we are for what is right, just and what could benefit the greater majority, which is the Cebuanos,” he said. Soco said the project’s cost has ballooned also to P28.8 billion from the original cost a few years ago. Soco also questioned why the roads were not widened before the project was implemented. He said Osmeña Blvd.’s six lanes have been reduced to four lanes to accommodate a dedicated bus lane for the project. He said similar proposed BRT projects in the country remain unimplemented due to various issues raised in the planning stages. Lack of consulationSoco said various countries with proposed BRT projects have already abandoned them due to their unfeasibility.He said project proponent Department of Transportation (DOTr) could have consulted the Cebu Provincial Government for a seamless and timely implementation of the CBRT project, but the latter failed to do so. A copy of the resolution will be furnished to Cebu City Mayor Michael Rama, Governor Garcia and DOTr Secretary Jaime Bautista. The PB also passed a resolution calling for the stoppage of the CBRT project in front of the Capitol building, saying the project violates Republic Act (RA) 10066, or the National Cultural Heritage Act of 2009, which mandates the protection, conservation and preservation of the national cultural heritage. Last week, the governor issued a cease and desist order halting the construction of bus stations in front of the Capitol and in the vicinity of Fuente Osmeña due to their alleged violation of RA 10066. With the current design, the bus stations will potentially block the view of the Capitol building from the rotunda. The resolution, authored by Borgonia, also said the bus stations’ design clashed with the neoclassical and art deco style of the Capitol building. / EHP, JJL licensed online casinos A MEMBER of the LGBTQIA+ community in Cebu has demanded a public apology from the staff members of a club located in a hotel in Cebu City, citing incidents of SOGIESC-based violations against dignity and discrimination.Czar Dabon, a transgender woman, complained of experiencing discrimination after being denied entry by a lady guard of Agwa, who allegedly insisted on stamping Dabon and making the complainant pay a P200 entry fee.“This entire ordeal occurred in public areas where onlookers became privy to my verbal discrimination, which caused me to be extremely humiliated, on top of the offensive treatment that I was already being subjected to,” reads a portion of Dabon’s incident report.LGBTQIA+ stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, questioning, intersex, or asexual.A copy of the incident report was sent to SunStar Cebu by Dabon’s friend on Wednesday, Feb. 7, 2024, three days after the incident happened on Feb. 4.SunStar Cebu tried to get the side of the management of Agwa but it has yet to provide an official statement as of press time.SOGIESC is an acronym to connote sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, and sex characteristics.Feb. 4 incidentAfter being denied entry to the club on Feb. 4, Dabon proceeded to the registration area and explained that a friend had reserved a table inside.Although the staff confirmed the reservation, they insisted on applying a wrist stamp due to the policy for males.Based on the complainant’s incident report, a friend defended Dabon’s identity as a woman. However, the complainant was still required to have the wrist stamp.Dabon expressed confusion, as Dabon had visited the establishment two months prior without encountering such an entry requirement.In response, a staff member said, “Aw, basin babaye kaayo kag pamorma ato’ (Well, maybe you looked very much like a girl at that time).”“I also feel that the specific word bayot meaning homosexual man, has been repeatedly said to my face in an offensive and malicious manner by more than one staff member that night,” said Dabon.On Feb. 7, Dabon sent an email to the manager of Agwa reporting the incident to find a resolution to the issue but as of writing the club has yet to respond to Dabon’s email.On Feb 9. Dabon filed a blotter report at the Mabolo Police Station’s Women and Children’s Protection Desk and has sent a follow-up email but has not received any response.Dabon describes the incident as humiliating after being called names in front of people.While Dabon aims to avoid legal action, Dabon urged the club to reconsider its door policy.Cebu City ordinanceDabon maintained that while the club has the right to determine the policies of its business, it does not have the right to invade human rights.“My right to self-determination, dignity, and equality are inalienable, and you do not get to take it away simply because you run a business, especially not if you run a business in a city which recognizes these rights,” Dabon said.While the SOGIE Bill is still in the Senate, the Cebu City Government has passed an ordinance that recognizes the SOGIESC of every person.The Cebu City government passed in August 2022 City Ordinance 2022, which provides specific penalties for the following offense: (a.) maliciously humiliating someone in public due to sexual orientation; (b.) inflicting physical harm on an individual due to sexual orientation; (c.) vexing, harassing, threatening, whether verbal or physical, and subjecting the individual to jokes, pranks, and humor based on sexual orientation.Penalties for SOGIESC-based discrimination include six months of imprisonment and/or P5,000 or both at the discretion of the court.Dabon claimed that this was not the first time that an incident of discrimination happened in the bar. Dabon added that the club must have regular SOGIE seminars for their staff, including senior management.
