THE Cebu City Government implemented an order to clear the toll gate in Beverly Hills Subdivision on Tuesday, March 12, 2024. While residents outside the subdivision welcomed the development, the subdivision residents are mulling to take the matter to court.The removal involved dismantling of the steel gate and removal of the gate barrier. The toll gate is situated between M.V. Regner St. and Monares St., which leads to Veterans Vilalge in upper Barangay Kalunasan.The order, signed by Mayor Michael Rama, states that the barricades, buildings, structures and contraptions placed by the Beverly Hills Homeowners’ Association (BHHA) are illegal and tantamount to public nuisance.Beverly Hills is an upscale residential subdivision located in Barangay Lahug. It is built on a hilly terrain that gives a good view of the city.The BHHA has maintained its position to keep the subdivision road closed to public access to maintain the security and privacy of its residents, saying the residents of neighboring subdivisions have “ample access to public roads in Kalunasan.”City Legal Officer Carlo Vincent Gimena, in an interview with SunStar Cebu, said the road should be open to the public. “The fact that [the] road networks [inside the subdivision] have already been donated to the City Government of Cebu, it’s the City who actually manages the roads,” said Gimena.Gimena said the road was donated to the City on March 17, 1976, with the tax declaration document submitted to the Cebu City Government. He said the deed of donation was entered into between Edgar Woolbright, then president and general manager of Beverly Hills Corp., and then Cebu City mayor Eulogio Borres.Beverly Hills resident’s reactionHowever, a male resident of the Beverly Hills Subdivision, who asked not to be named, said the deed of donation did not materialize due to the lack of authority from the Beverly Hills Corp. Council. He added that Beverly Hills Corp. has the land title and road lots under its name that will prove its ownership of the roads. He said they are mulling to file a case against the team that conducted the clearing operation. The BHHA members are also set to meet to discuss the issue.He also questioned the City Government’s ownership claim, saying the residents are the ones spending to maintain the roads. He said they implemented measures as to the entry of non-residents in the area due to theft cases in the past.Neighboring residents’ reactionWhile the residents inside the subdivision had negative reactions, those residing outside of it welcomed the development.Vicky Daganas, who lived in upper Kalunasan for 30 years, divulged her struggles entering the area. She said the demolition of the toll gate will benefit her and other residents.Neneng Delima, another resident, is also pleased as she can now resume jogging in the area.Other residents voiced frustration about entering Beverly Hills, citing excessive entry requirements. / RJM, EHP, BIPSU INTERN JAY ADOBO Philippines Casino online Philippines FOLLOWING the collapse of a bridge in Baltimore, Maryland in the United States after it was hit by a ship, a local legislator has urged government agencies, as well as the Cebu-Cordova Link Expressway Corp. (CCLEC), to undertake precautionary measures to prevent a similar disaster. Cebu City Councilor Rey Gealon, who also chairs the traffic management and coordination committee, said he will request Mayor Michael Rama to convene a multi-agency task force consisting of CCLEC, Maritime Industry Authority, Philippine Coast Guard, Philippine Navy, Philippine Ports Authority, and Philippine National Police-Maritime Group, among others, to craft guidelines and establish a protocol for adequate emergency response to a disaster similar to what happened in Baltimore.On Tuesday, March 26, 2024, a cargo ship lost power and rammed into the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore, causing the bridge to collapse in seconds. Six individuals are reportedly missing and presumed dead.Gealon urged CCLEC to undertake precautionary measures to avoid a disaster like the one in Baltimore, considering numerous container vessels traverse the Cebu harbor and under the bridge.He said he will formally file these measures through a resolution before the City Council in their next regular session.Design of CCLEXCCLEC, in a statement to SunStar Cebu on Wednesday, March 27, assured the public that Cebu’s third bridge linking the Cebu mainland to Mactan Island, underwent several studies, including a vessel collision analysis, to ensure that it is “safe and structurally stable” considering that it is above the busy Mactan Channel.It said the design of Cebu-Cordova Link Expressway (CCLEX) significantly considered vessel collision, considering its main span crosses the busy waterway in Cebu.“CCLEX’s main bridge has a maximum ship collision capacity of 110 meganewton (or equivalent to an 80,000 deadweight tonnage bulk cargo ship colliding onto the pile cap when traveling at 7.5 knots),” said the CCLEC.CCLEC noted that the height of the main bridge from the sea is 52.50 meters with a width of 260 meters, allowing large vessels to pass safely and securely underneath.The bridge, according to CCLEC, is equipped with a Bridge Management and Monitoring System, which is used to measure and monitor the main bridge’s structure conditions via different sensors including road weather information system. The sensors are used to measure and monitor road weather conditions such as temperature, relative humidity, wind speed, wind direction, rainfall, visibility and atmospheric pressure. The bridge also has stay cable accelerometers which detect fatigue loads, vibrational modes, and natural frequencies, among others. It is equipped with GPS position sensors, which detect displacement between the ends of the main bridge deck, and expansion joint displacement sensors, which are used to measure the accurate position of the relevant components of the main bridge such as the tops of the pylons.Marine signals were installed on the sides of the main bridge deck to serve as a navigational aid for ships going in and out of Cebu’s ports. CCLEX connects Cebu City on the mainland to the town of Cordova on Mactan Island. The first two bridges connect the cities of Mandaue and Lapu-Lapu.Bridge boardMeanwhile, Mactan-Cebu Bridge Management Board (MCBMB) chairperson and Cebu Gov. Gwendolyn Garcia told reporters on Wednesday that the board is focused on establishing a roundabout or rotunda along the intersection of UN Ave. in Mandaue City leading to the Marcelo Fernan Bridge, also colloquially known as the second Cebu–Mactan Bridge. Garcia said the traffic in the intersection sometimes reaches the second bridge during peak hours. The weight of the vehicles might have an impact on the bridge’s load capacity, she said.The rotunda is seen to reduce the stress load to the bridge as it will improve the flow of traffic from the Mactan-Cebu International Airport going to mainland Cebu, she added. The MCBMB is composed of the local government units that touch the three bridges, namely the cities of Cebu, Mandaue, Lapu-Lapu and the town of Cordova.Garcia said the Department of Public Works and Highways is also on the board. The agency’s role is to handle the bridges’ maintenance, she said.In November 1990, mv Sanko Elegance, a Korean-registered vessel, rammed into one of the columns of the Mactan-Mandaue Bridge, or the first bridge, at the height of super typhoon Ruping.The damage forced authorities to close the bridge for more than two months. The bridge at the time was the lone link between Cebu mainland and Mactan Island. It was reopened to light vehicular traffic in January 1991. / JJL, EHP

THE struggle for control over the Metropolitan Cebu Water District (MCWD) has disgusted some of the water distributor’s customers, prompting them to flock to the MCWD’s main office in downtown Cebu City to stage a protest on Tuesday morning, April 16, 2024.But when they arrived, the doors were locked. The main office was closed. And the security guards could not provide a reason why.The MCWD released an advisory around 7 a.m. that frontline services, including bill payment, reconnection requests and customer care, would not be available until further notice “due to a security breach” at the main office.The protesters demanded the resignation of MCWD board members Jose Daluz III, Miguelito Pato and Jodelyn May Seno, as well as general manager Edgar Donoso. All four had been suspended by the Local Water Utilities Administration (LWUA)—Daluz, Pato and Seno for six months, and Donoso for 90 days. These officials do not recognize the LWUA’s authority to suspend them.Evangeline Abejo, lead convener of Supak sa Kalisod Cebu City basic sectors, also requested Gov. Gwendolyn Garcia to refrain from interfering in the squabble.Other consumers made their voices heard on social media, particularly on MCWD’s Facebook page. Solutions soughtMost of them wanted one thing from MCWD, which serves the cities of Cebu, Mandaue, Lapu-Lapu and Talisay, and the municipalities of Compostela, Liloan, Consolacion and Cordova: a solution to the water supply problems. “Way agas pirme. Naunsa na man mo, uy (There’s no water all the time. What’s wrong with you, people)?” said Babylyn Reyes Miao.She posted this comment on MCWD’s Facebook page statement on Tuesday that “kindly” requested its consumers to refrain from visiting its office and urged them to make use of its collection centers instead. “Solbara problema sa tubig, uy. Paeta ninyo (Solve the problem on water supply. You are all pathetic)!” said Mae Bacol Veloso. SunStar Cebu reported on April 11 that MCWD had identified 12 barangays in the cities of Cebu, Talisay and Mandaue that have been “severely affected” by water supply shortages amid a continued drop in daily production. These are Barangays Umapad, Opao, Alang-alang, Looc and Subangdaku in Mandaue City; Lorega San Miguel, Binaliw, San Jose, Talamban and Pit-os in Cebu City; and Cansojong and San Roque in Talisay City. However, residents in other barangays not included in the list are also struggling with their water supply, with one consumer reporting inconsistent service since January. MCWD spokesperson Minerva Gerodias told SunStar Cebu on Thursday, April 11, that they continue to face a struggle in providing water supply as its production has plummeted, with a reduction of 46,748 cubic meters of water each day. The local water utility’s daily output now stands at just 254,252 cubic meters as of Wednesday, April 10, which translates to a 15.53 percent decrease from the utility’s maximum production capacity. Road closuresThe water distributor, in a separate statement posted on its Facebook page Tuesday, said it “vehemently condemns the brazen actions of the Local Water Utilities Administration, interim board of directors, Cebu City Hall and lawyer John Dx Lapid for their atrocious disruption of our services.” It accused Lapid — the LWUA-appointed officer-in-charge to replace general manager Donoso, who was suspended last Friday — of barricading and cordoning off the MCWD building, which is a stone’s throw away from the Cebu City Hall.The City closed Magallanes and Lapu-Lapu streets, blocking the roads in the vicinity of the MCWD main office. Motorists and public utility vehicles were rerouted to M.J. Cuenco Ave. and were made to turn right on Osmeña Blvd.The roads were reopened to traffic just before noon.Lapid said he did not authorize the road closures, adding that only the City Government could do that.He said he didn’t know who was behind the move, as he was on leave.Donoso had barred Lapid and other LWUA-appointed officials from entering MCWD’s premises early Monday morning. Noe Villagonzalo, a Facebook user, said politics is behind the power struggle at the MCWD. “Sobrang pamolitika ug kahangol sa gahom. Unta ang serbisyo para sa katawhan maoy ipatigbabaw (What I see is too much politics and excessive hunger for power. Serving the people should be at the top of their minds)!” he said. Not naming any particular official at MCWD, Char Lene wants them to voluntarily step down. “Walay klaro nga abiso among meter. Walay abiso. Putol lang dayon nga naa man unta mi sa (There was no clear notice about our meter [getting disconnected]. There was no notice. They just cut off the line even if we are living in a) subdivision. No letter or disconnection notice. Mao lagi (All right), karma will always hunt you,” she said. ResignationConsumers were not the only ones fed up with the ongoing power struggle at the MCWD.Lapid told members of the media Tuesday that he was resigning as OIC general manager.“I am resigning as OIC-general manager as appointed by the interim board of LWUA, not as an employee of MCWD. As an employee of MCWD, I am considering it, pero gihunahuna pa nako kung unsay makaayo sa akong pamilya (but I’m still thinking about what will be good for my family),” he said.Lapid is the division manager for customer care at the MCWD.He admitted that he was feeling the pressure because the matter was already affecting his family.Lapid said he didn’t want to hold on to something if it wasn’t worthwhile, adding that his resignation is addressed to the MCWD and the LWUA.“I want to take a rest. I was trying to fight for what I know is right, but the problem is the whole thing has become politicized, which I don’t like,” Lapid said in a mix of Cebuano and English. “Di ko ganahan nga gamiton ko sa (I don’t want to be used for) politics.”Meanwhile, MCWD spokesperson Gerodias explained that the water district also temporarily suspended the disconnection of accounts facing disconnection until further notice.While this may be good news to those facing disconnection, it is bad news to those whose connections were already disconnected as their request for reconnection cannot be processed yet.Security breachAs for the security breach, Gerodias said Lapid told them that around 70 personnel from Cebu City entered the MCWD main office around 10 p.m. Monday.“Yesterday, they knocked and when the guard opened, they barged in. They were bringing mallets, tools because ‘manglungkab’ sila sa taas (they planned to force open upstairs),” she said.She said they tried to open Donoso’s office with a credit card.Gerodias said they will conduct an inventory on their documents to make sure none are missing.She said the MCWD will file a legal complaint against those involved in the incident.Daluz, Pato, Seno and Donoso were finally able to enter the main office by 3 p.m. They were accompanied by some MCWD employees.Upon reaching the general manager’s office, Donoso discovered that the vault and the locked cabinets that contained important documents had been forcibly opened.He said they will request police assistance to prevent the incident from happening again.Members of Task Force Kasaligan, along with Cebu City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office personnel and police from the Cebu City Police Office, continue to be deployed outside the MCWD main office.The LWUA suspended Daluz, Pato and Seno to give way for its investigation on issues like MCWD’s high non-revenue water and alleged failure to comply with procurement laws. It suspended Donoso for defying the LWUA-installed interim board’s request to turn over documents on MCWD’s transactions. / KAL, JJL, WBS, AML, EHP

FOLLOWING the collapse of a bridge in Baltimore, Maryland in the United States after it was hit by a ship, a local legislator has urged government agencies, as well as the Cebu-Cordova Link Expressway Corp. (CCLEC), to undertake precautionary measures to prevent a similar disaster. Cebu City Councilor Rey Gealon, who also chairs the traffic management and coordination committee, said he will request Mayor Michael Rama to convene a multi-agency task force consisting of CCLEC, Maritime Industry Authority, Philippine Coast Guard, Philippine Navy, Philippine Ports Authority, and Philippine National Police-Maritime Group, among others, to craft guidelines and establish a protocol for adequate emergency response to a disaster similar to what happened in Baltimore.On Tuesday, March 26, 2024, a cargo ship lost power and rammed into the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore, causing the bridge to collapse in seconds. Six individuals are reportedly missing and presumed dead.Gealon urged CCLEC to undertake precautionary measures to avoid a disaster like the one in Baltimore, considering numerous container vessels traverse the Cebu harbor and under the bridge.He said he will formally file these measures through a resolution before the City Council in their next regular session.Design of CCLEXCCLEC, in a statement to SunStar Cebu on Wednesday, March 27, assured the public that Cebu’s third bridge linking the Cebu mainland to Mactan Island, underwent several studies, including a vessel collision analysis, to ensure that it is “safe and structurally stable” considering that it is above the busy Mactan Channel.It said the design of Cebu-Cordova Link Expressway (CCLEX) significantly considered vessel collision, considering its main span crosses the busy waterway in Cebu.“CCLEX’s main bridge has a maximum ship collision capacity of 110 meganewton (or equivalent to an 80,000 deadweight tonnage bulk cargo ship colliding onto the pile cap when traveling at 7.5 knots),” said the CCLEC.CCLEC noted that the height of the main bridge from the sea is 52.50 meters with a width of 260 meters, allowing large vessels to pass safely and securely underneath.The bridge, according to CCLEC, is equipped with a Bridge Management and Monitoring System, which is used to measure and monitor the main bridge’s structure conditions via different sensors including road weather information system. The sensors are used to measure and monitor road weather conditions such as temperature, relative humidity, wind speed, wind direction, rainfall, visibility and atmospheric pressure. The bridge also has stay cable accelerometers which detect fatigue loads, vibrational modes, and natural frequencies, among others. It is equipped with GPS position sensors, which detect displacement between the ends of the main bridge deck, and expansion joint displacement sensors, which are used to measure the accurate position of the relevant components of the main bridge such as the tops of the pylons.Marine signals were installed on the sides of the main bridge deck to serve as a navigational aid for ships going in and out of Cebu’s ports. CCLEX connects Cebu City on the mainland to the town of Cordova on Mactan Island. The first two bridges connect the cities of Mandaue and Lapu-Lapu.Bridge boardMeanwhile, Mactan-Cebu Bridge Management Board (MCBMB) chairperson and Cebu Gov. Gwendolyn Garcia told reporters on Wednesday that the board is focused on establishing a roundabout or rotunda along the intersection of UN Ave. in Mandaue City leading to the Marcelo Fernan Bridge, also colloquially known as the second Cebu–Mactan Bridge. Garcia said the traffic in the intersection sometimes reaches the second bridge during peak hours. The weight of the vehicles might have an impact on the bridge’s load capacity, she said.The rotunda is seen to reduce the stress load to the bridge as it will improve the flow of traffic from the Mactan-Cebu International Airport going to mainland Cebu, she added. The MCBMB is composed of the local government units that touch the three bridges, namely the cities of Cebu, Mandaue, Lapu-Lapu and the town of Cordova.Garcia said the Department of Public Works and Highways is also on the board. The agency’s role is to handle the bridges’ maintenance, she said.In November 1990, mv Sanko Elegance, a Korean-registered vessel, rammed into one of the columns of the Mactan-Mandaue Bridge, or the first bridge, at the height of super typhoon Ruping.The damage forced authorities to close the bridge for more than two months. The bridge at the time was the lone link between Cebu mainland and Mactan Island. It was reopened to light vehicular traffic in January 1991. / JJL, EHP Philippines Casino online .

THE Cebu City Government implemented an order to clear the toll gate in Beverly Hills Subdivision on Tuesday, March 12, 2024. While residents outside the subdivision welcomed the development, the subdivision residents are mulling to take the matter to court.The removal involved dismantling of the steel gate and removal of the gate barrier. The toll gate is situated between M.V. Regner St. and Monares St., which leads to Veterans Vilalge in upper Barangay Kalunasan.The order, signed by Mayor Michael Rama, states that the barricades, buildings, structures and contraptions placed by the Beverly Hills Homeowners’ Association (BHHA) are illegal and tantamount to public nuisance.Beverly Hills is an upscale residential subdivision located in Barangay Lahug. It is built on a hilly terrain that gives a good view of the city.The BHHA has maintained its position to keep the subdivision road closed to public access to maintain the security and privacy of its residents, saying the residents of neighboring subdivisions have “ample access to public roads in Kalunasan.”City Legal Officer Carlo Vincent Gimena, in an interview with SunStar Cebu, said the road should be open to the public. “The fact that [the] road networks [inside the subdivision] have already been donated to the City Government of Cebu, it’s the City who actually manages the roads,” said Gimena.Gimena said the road was donated to the City on March 17, 1976, with the tax declaration document submitted to the Cebu City Government. He said the deed of donation was entered into between Edgar Woolbright, then president and general manager of Beverly Hills Corp., and then Cebu City mayor Eulogio Borres.Beverly Hills resident’s reactionHowever, a male resident of the Beverly Hills Subdivision, who asked not to be named, said the deed of donation did not materialize due to the lack of authority from the Beverly Hills Corp. Council. He added that Beverly Hills Corp. has the land title and road lots under its name that will prove its ownership of the roads. He said they are mulling to file a case against the team that conducted the clearing operation. The BHHA members are also set to meet to discuss the issue.He also questioned the City Government’s ownership claim, saying the residents are the ones spending to maintain the roads. He said they implemented measures as to the entry of non-residents in the area due to theft cases in the past.Neighboring residents’ reactionWhile the residents inside the subdivision had negative reactions, those residing outside of it welcomed the development.Vicky Daganas, who lived in upper Kalunasan for 30 years, divulged her struggles entering the area. She said the demolition of the toll gate will benefit her and other residents.Neneng Delima, another resident, is also pleased as she can now resume jogging in the area.Other residents voiced frustration about entering Beverly Hills, citing excessive entry requirements. / RJM, EHP, BIPSU INTERN JAY ADOBO What is the Bisaya of slot? .

It was reopened to light vehicular traffic in January 1991. / JJL, EHP licensed online casinos THE struggle for control over the Metropolitan Cebu Water District (MCWD) has disgusted some of the water distributor’s customers, prompting them to flock to the MCWD’s main office in downtown Cebu City to stage a protest on Tuesday morning, April 16, 2024.But when they arrived, the doors were locked. The main office was closed. And the security guards could not provide a reason why.The MCWD released an advisory around 7 a.m. that frontline services, including bill payment, reconnection requests and customer care, would not be available until further notice “due to a security breach” at the main office.The protesters demanded the resignation of MCWD board members Jose Daluz III, Miguelito Pato and Jodelyn May Seno, as well as general manager Edgar Donoso. All four had been suspended by the Local Water Utilities Administration (LWUA)—Daluz, Pato and Seno for six months, and Donoso for 90 days. These officials do not recognize the LWUA’s authority to suspend them.Evangeline Abejo, lead convener of Supak sa Kalisod Cebu City basic sectors, also requested Gov. Gwendolyn Garcia to refrain from interfering in the squabble.Other consumers made their voices heard on social media, particularly on MCWD’s Facebook page. Solutions soughtMost of them wanted one thing from MCWD, which serves the cities of Cebu, Mandaue, Lapu-Lapu and Talisay, and the municipalities of Compostela, Liloan, Consolacion and Cordova: a solution to the water supply problems. “Way agas pirme. Naunsa na man mo, uy (There’s no water all the time. What’s wrong with you, people)?” said Babylyn Reyes Miao.She posted this comment on MCWD’s Facebook page statement on Tuesday that “kindly” requested its consumers to refrain from visiting its office and urged them to make use of its collection centers instead. “Solbara problema sa tubig, uy. Paeta ninyo (Solve the problem on water supply. You are all pathetic)!” said Mae Bacol Veloso. SunStar Cebu reported on April 11 that MCWD had identified 12 barangays in the cities of Cebu, Talisay and Mandaue that have been “severely affected” by water supply shortages amid a continued drop in daily production. These are Barangays Umapad, Opao, Alang-alang, Looc and Subangdaku in Mandaue City; Lorega San Miguel, Binaliw, San Jose, Talamban and Pit-os in Cebu City; and Cansojong and San Roque in Talisay City. However, residents in other barangays not included in the list are also struggling with their water supply, with one consumer reporting inconsistent service since January. MCWD spokesperson Minerva Gerodias told SunStar Cebu on Thursday, April 11, that they continue to face a struggle in providing water supply as its production has plummeted, with a reduction of 46,748 cubic meters of water each day. The local water utility’s daily output now stands at just 254,252 cubic meters as of Wednesday, April 10, which translates to a 15.53 percent decrease from the utility’s maximum production capacity. Road closuresThe water distributor, in a separate statement posted on its Facebook page Tuesday, said it “vehemently condemns the brazen actions of the Local Water Utilities Administration, interim board of directors, Cebu City Hall and lawyer John Dx Lapid for their atrocious disruption of our services.” It accused Lapid — the LWUA-appointed officer-in-charge to replace general manager Donoso, who was suspended last Friday — of barricading and cordoning off the MCWD building, which is a stone’s throw away from the Cebu City Hall.The City closed Magallanes and Lapu-Lapu streets, blocking the roads in the vicinity of the MCWD main office. Motorists and public utility vehicles were rerouted to M.J. Cuenco Ave. and were made to turn right on Osmeña Blvd.The roads were reopened to traffic just before noon.Lapid said he did not authorize the road closures, adding that only the City Government could do that.He said he didn’t know who was behind the move, as he was on leave.Donoso had barred Lapid and other LWUA-appointed officials from entering MCWD’s premises early Monday morning. Noe Villagonzalo, a Facebook user, said politics is behind the power struggle at the MCWD. “Sobrang pamolitika ug kahangol sa gahom. Unta ang serbisyo para sa katawhan maoy ipatigbabaw (What I see is too much politics and excessive hunger for power. Serving the people should be at the top of their minds)!” he said. Not naming any particular official at MCWD, Char Lene wants them to voluntarily step down. “Walay klaro nga abiso among meter. Walay abiso. Putol lang dayon nga naa man unta mi sa (There was no clear notice about our meter [getting disconnected]. There was no notice. They just cut off the line even if we are living in a) subdivision. No letter or disconnection notice. Mao lagi (All right), karma will always hunt you,” she said. ResignationConsumers were not the only ones fed up with the ongoing power struggle at the MCWD.Lapid told members of the media Tuesday that he was resigning as OIC general manager.“I am resigning as OIC-general manager as appointed by the interim board of LWUA, not as an employee of MCWD. As an employee of MCWD, I am considering it, pero gihunahuna pa nako kung unsay makaayo sa akong pamilya (but I’m still thinking about what will be good for my family),” he said.Lapid is the division manager for customer care at the MCWD.He admitted that he was feeling the pressure because the matter was already affecting his family.Lapid said he didn’t want to hold on to something if it wasn’t worthwhile, adding that his resignation is addressed to the MCWD and the LWUA.“I want to take a rest. I was trying to fight for what I know is right, but the problem is the whole thing has become politicized, which I don’t like,” Lapid said in a mix of Cebuano and English. “Di ko ganahan nga gamiton ko sa (I don’t want to be used for) politics.”Meanwhile, MCWD spokesperson Gerodias explained that the water district also temporarily suspended the disconnection of accounts facing disconnection until further notice.While this may be good news to those facing disconnection, it is bad news to those whose connections were already disconnected as their request for reconnection cannot be processed yet.Security breachAs for the security breach, Gerodias said Lapid told them that around 70 personnel from Cebu City entered the MCWD main office around 10 p.m. Monday.“Yesterday, they knocked and when the guard opened, they barged in. They were bringing mallets, tools because ‘manglungkab’ sila sa taas (they planned to force open upstairs),” she said.She said they tried to open Donoso’s office with a credit card.Gerodias said they will conduct an inventory on their documents to make sure none are missing.She said the MCWD will file a legal complaint against those involved in the incident.Daluz, Pato, Seno and Donoso were finally able to enter the main office by 3 p.m. They were accompanied by some MCWD employees.Upon reaching the general manager’s office, Donoso discovered that the vault and the locked cabinets that contained important documents had been forcibly opened.He said they will request police assistance to prevent the incident from happening again.Members of Task Force Kasaligan, along with Cebu City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office personnel and police from the Cebu City Police Office, continue to be deployed outside the MCWD main office.The LWUA suspended Daluz, Pato and Seno to give way for its investigation on issues like MCWD’s high non-revenue water and alleged failure to comply with procurement laws. It suspended Donoso for defying the LWUA-installed interim board’s request to turn over documents on MCWD’s transactions. / KAL, JJL, WBS, AML, EHP
