Marcos expressed gratitude to Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi through India’s Minister of External Affairs, Subrahmanyam Jaishankar, during a courtesy call to the chief executive in Malacañang.“I’d like to thank you and please extend my gratitude to your Prime Minister (Narendra Modi) for the timely provision of imported rice that we bought from India. The very critical… a very crucial time since we are in the right now suffering the effects [of] drought,” said Marcos.“I hope… we hope to do better and I hope to continue this trade with India, but not only in agri products but in other [areas]. The ambassador has been working very hard to promote all of these different exchanges and welcome once again,” he added.Marcos conveyed his intention to deepen collaboration with India in various areas such as agriculture, infrastructure and defense.The chief executive noted that the Philippines is focusing on agriculture to ensure food security.India, the world’s largest rice exporter, banned the export of non-basmati rice in July 2023 in a bid to allay the rise in prices in its domestic market. In October 2023, India approved shipping 295,000 metric tons of non-basmati white rice to the Philippines, the highest allocation it gave to a foreign country after lifting the restriction to specific nations.Meanwhile, amid concerns that the world’s oceans are becoming more dangerous to commercial shipping, Marcos said the Philippines and India agreed to work together to ensure maritime security.The chief executive noted the important contribution of Filipino seafarers manning the world’s merchant ships, whether tankers, cruise ships, and other vessels.Almost a quarter of the world’s seafarers are Filipinos, according to recent data. “So, that kind of partnership, we have just rationalized our — the system, the local system for the support of our local seafarers because before it has been a little bit haphazard but now I think we have— we made some sense of it and I think we will be going to be a little bit to a great advantage,” Marcos said.“So, which means we’re ready to join up and if there are opportunities for us to work together. It really is at a crisis point of shipping. And maybe we can find something that we can do together to ease the situation at least a little bit until it becomes — the conflict becomes less heated,” he added.Modi recognized the need for the two countries to start looking for where they can do more to work together, hoping to find new things as they address the global picture.While India and the Philippines are non-traditional partners in terms of maritime issues, Marcos said, “it serves a purpose for us to start thinking about that because the world is like that already, very closely connected.”MV True ConfidenceMarcos also extended the country’s appreciation for the Indian Navy’s rescue and assistance to the Filipino crew members of MV True Confidence, which was attacked off the coast of Yemen earlier this month, resulting in the death of two Filipino seafarers.The 13 Filipino seamen were safely returned home.Marcos also acknowledged the support of the Indian government in upholding Philippine sovereignty in the West Philippine Sea, considering it as “an important development” for the Filipino people.“We have many shared interests, primary of, that is to maintain the peace in our areas and so this is a concern now, not only of India or of the Philippines alone, but the entire world,” Marcos told Minister Jaishankar.“So, whatever it is that we can do to make the situation better, in partnership with India, which certainly be an important development for us,” he added. (TPM/SunStar Philippines) What is the best way to bet on NBA games? Philippines MAJORITY of the members of the Cebu City Council voted for the suspension of the civil works of the second to fourth packages of the Cebu Bus Rapid Transit (CBRT) for six months.The officials also urged Cebu City Mayor Michael Rama to assemble a CBRT technical working group to explore the possibility of conducting a city-operated trial run of a CBRT route from Bulacao to Ayala during the suspension.Councilor James Anthony Cuenco, transportation committee chair, delivered a privilege speech during the regular session on Wednesday, April 17, 2024, pushing for the mentioned measures and introducing the proposals of mass transportation expert and consultant Rene Santiago and urban planner Nigel Paul Villarete surrounding the operations of CBRT.Cuenco said during the executive session on April 3, both Santiago and Villarete suggested that CBRT’s Package 1 could have been implemented elsewhere instead of Osmeña Boulevard. Their reasons included the short distance of the CBRT route from the Cebu South Bus Terminal to Capitol, the presence of numerous crosswalks along the route, and the possibility of simpler BRT station designs to save time and money.The two traffic experts also said that the current BRT routes primarily connect commercial centers like Ayala Mall and IT Park, rather than residential areas, as originally intended. They also questioned the request for a depot in South Road Properties (SRP), which they argued is not aligned with the BRT's original purpose. Instead, they proposed to consider an alternative route via Fuente Osmeña to Mango Avenue if the public prefers avoiding Capitol, while maintaining the start and end points in Bulacao and Talamban. The executive session concluded that there is no reason not to suspend Packages 2 and 3 while exploring the possibility of streamlining the route to a direct path from Bulacao to Ayala or Talamban.Taking into account the opinion of the two traffic experts, Cuenco supported the proposal of Santiago, who suggested conducting a dry run on the Bulacao to Ayala Route, implementing exclusive bus lanes without repaving roads, and utilizing temporary and/or cost-effective bus stations.However, Councilor Nestor Archival opposed this idea, saying Santiago failed to elaborate further the implications of his idea.During the voting of Cuenco’s measures, Archival, Councilors Joy Augustus Young, Mary Ann de los Santos, and Jose Abellanosa voted against the measures, while Association of Barangay Councils (ABC) president Franklyn Ong abstained from voting.

Their reasons included the short distance of the CBRT route from the Cebu South Bus Terminal to Capitol, the presence of numerous crosswalks along the route, and the possibility of simpler BRT station designs to save time and money.The two traffic experts also said that the current BRT routes primarily connect commercial centers like Ayala Mall and IT Park, rather than residential areas, as originally intended. They also questioned the request for a depot in South Road Properties (SRP), which they argued is not aligned with the BRT's original purpose. Instead, they proposed to consider an alternative route via Fuente Osmeña to Mango Avenue if the public prefers avoiding Capitol, while maintaining the start and end points in Bulacao and Talamban. The executive session concluded that there is no reason not to suspend Packages 2 and 3 while exploring the possibility of streamlining the route to a direct path from Bulacao to Ayala or Talamban.Taking into account the opinion of the two traffic experts, Cuenco supported the proposal of Santiago, who suggested conducting a dry run on the Bulacao to Ayala Route, implementing exclusive bus lanes without repaving roads, and utilizing temporary and/or cost-effective bus stations.However, Councilor Nestor Archival opposed this idea, saying Santiago failed to elaborate further the implications of his idea.During the voting of Cuenco’s measures, Archival, Councilors Joy Augustus Young, Mary Ann de los Santos, and Jose Abellanosa voted against the measures, while Association of Barangay Councils (ABC) president Franklyn Ong abstained from voting.

Bottom photo shows workers on the Cebu Port Authority’s (CPA) P197 million project to build a reinforced concrete deck at the Cebu Baseport in front of the Compania Maritima on March 15, 2024. The two are among the 18 structures that the Cebu City Office of the Building Official cited as cause for the filing of a case for usurpation of authority and violation of the National Building Code of the Philippines against former CPA General Manager (GM) Glenn Castillo and current GM Francisco Comendador III before the Office of the Ombudsman-Visayas. / AMPER CAMPAÑAAFTER the Cebu Port Authority (CPA) chose not to comply with notices from Cebu City Hall regarding its construction of structures without the necessary permits, the Office of the Building Official (OBO) filed a case against the CPA on Friday, March 15, 2024.OBO head Florante Catalan filed the complaint against the CPA before the Office of the Ombudsman-Visayas for constructing buildings and a wharf without the necessary building permits. The complaint was filed against Glenn Castillo, the former general manager of the CPA, and Francisco Comendador III, the current general manager.Filed were criminal cases for 18 counts of violation of Section 3(e) of Republic Act (RA) 3019, Usurpation of Authority under Article 177 of the Revised Penal Code, and violation of Section 301 in relation to Section 213 of Presidential Decree (PD) 1096 or the National Building Code of the Philippines, as well as administrative cases for grave misconduct, gross neglect of duty, and conduct prejudicial to the best interest of the service.“As of the present time, the Cebu Port Authority still fails to comply with the legal directives of our office. In fact, there is no indication on their part to abide with several Notices of Violation issued against Cebu Port Authority,” the complaint-affidavit by Catalan read.The OBO had issued 15 notices of violation to the CPA dated Feb. 2, 2023 for buildings and structures, 10 of which were in the Cebu International Port (CIP) Complex. The notices were issued for the CPA Main Administration Building, CPA Social Hall and Canteen, CPA Sports Facility, CPA PSSEMD Office Building, CPA Records Building and Fabrication Area, CPA Powerhouse and Water Pumphouse, CPA GAD Center, CIP Bin Silo Facility and Opascor Office Building, CIP One Stop Shop Facility and Landbank Building, and Bureau of Customs Office Building, all in the CIP Complex.Notices were also issued for the PMO - Pier 4 Office Building in Berth 13, Pier 1 Ticket Booths at the Pier 1 Entrance Gate, Pier 1 Passenger Terminal Building and Pier 3 Passenger Terminal Building, all in the Cebu Baseport; as well as for the fence, guardhouse and covered walk, whose location was not specified.On the same day, the OBO notified the CPA through then-general manager Glenn Castillo to provide a copy of the approved building or occupancy permits for all the buildings and structures listed “or submit their application for building/occupancy permits in order to legalize the structures.”On Feb. 17, 2023, however, City Hall received a letter-reply from Castillo, dated Feb. 9, 2023, calling the routine inspections and “alleged random incursions” of OBO personnel violations of the Writ of Preliminary Injunction issued by Regional Trial Court (RTC) Branch 10 of Cebu City, the complaint read.“Respondent Glenn B. Castillo even told us that the several Notices of Violations issued against the CPA are baseless,” the complaint-affidavit added.In December 2022, the RTC granted the CPA’s application for a writ of preliminary injunction to prohibit the City Government 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. More violationsAfter the 15 notices of violation were sent, the OBO found violations in the case of three more structures.The CPA installed a fence on Quezon Blvd. in Barangay Sto. Nino, which the OBO claims was done without any permit from its office. The OBO issued a notice of illegal construction and work stoppage order on May 31, 2023, but the CPA did not comply.According to the complaint, Comendador, the new CPA general manager, responded to the OBO’s Sept. 20, 2023 letter advising the CPA to secure a building and fencing permit before building a new interlink fence, gates and police outpost, by “claiming that the powers of the City of Cebu as a local government unit cannot extend and apply to the CPA and that there is no basis for our actions.”On Sept. 28, 2023, the City Government had another run-in with the CPA after the CPA installed a steel fence along the seaside near the Compania Maritima without securing a fencing permit.In February 2024, the OBO discovered through ocular inspections that the CPA had constructed a perimeter fence, as well as begun work on a wharf, along the Cebu Coastal Road near the Malacañang sa Sugbo (now National Museum of the Philippines-Cebu) without securing permits.“Their refusal to secure permits with our Office and refusal to comply with our lawful orders, connected with the performance of the official functions and duties of a public officer, are clearly deliberate violations of the rule of law. Their intention to violate the law is unmistakable,” Catalan’s complaint-affidavit read.Statement from the CityCity Legal Officer Carlo Vincent Gimena, in an interview with SunStar Cebu on Friday, said all private or government entities should secure building permits prior to construction.“Those need permits from the OBO of Cebu City without which they will be considered illegal construction,” said Gimena. Gimena argued that the CPA has no authority to construct without permits despite the CPA’s claims that under its charter it is able to license, control, regulate and supervise any construction within its port district. Gimena said the Philippine Ports Authority did not grant the CPA that authority.“According to them, under their charter, they have the power to regulate, to license, to supervise structures or construction within their compound; however, a careful reading of their charter will show that there is no such power,” said Gimena.One of the constructions that is claimed by the OBO to have a violation is near the disputed Compania Maritima. The City Government has an ongoing dispute with the CPA.SunStar Cebu contacted the CPA for comment, but the CPA said it would issue an official statement only if needed. 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.
