CEBU City Mayor Michael Rama should stop daydreaming and copying cities he has visited recently.This was the suggestion of City Councilor James Anthony Cuenco, committee on transportation chairman, after Rama announced that he wanted all 10 remaining skywalks in the city removed because they no longer served their purpose.Rama instead suggested replacing them with underpasses or underground pedestrian crossings, which he deemed to be more effective.The mayor had pointed out that Melbourne, Australia and other countries did not have skywalks.Rama took a leave of absence from Oct. 31, 2023 to Dec. 16 to be in Australia with his family.“We do not need to copy other world cities where the mayor has visited recently. We only need to use our heads,” said Cuenco in a text message to SunStar Cebu on Sunday, March 17, 2024.“He should stop daydreaming,” he said.Special purposeCuenco said skywalks were built to serve a special purpose, which was to safely allow pedestrians to cross one side of a busy thoroughfare to the other and allow traffic below to flow seamlessly without having to stop every so often.The local legislator said the solution does not require digging costly tunnels which will take years to build.He said the City only has to be “resourceful and innovative” like deploying personnel of the Department of Public Services (DPS), job order employees, and other City Hall personnel in the skywalks to ensure their proper use and cleanliness. The City should also install closed-circuit televisions so pedestrians will not hesitate to use them, he added.Rama earlier said skywalks have become an interim drop-in center for some mendicants.Cuenco said the City Council can also pass an ordinance penalizing street dwellers who use skywalks as shelters and repositories of human waste.He said the Prevention Restoration Order Beautification Enhancement team and Department of Social Welfare Services personnel should be asked to patrol these places and round up mendicants and transfer them to more suitable facilities.He said the City has a lot of more urgent and pressing concerns that need to be addressed like drought, water shortages, flooding, and traffic, which City officials need to focus on considering the City’s limited financial resources.Rama’s plan to remove the remaining skywalks came after two skywalks along Osmeña Blvd., the one near Fuente Osmeña Circle and the other near Cebu Normal University, were demolished last February to pave the way for the implementation of the first package of the Cebu Bus Rapid Transit (CBRT) project.The government spent over P9 million to build the two skywalks around three decades ago.Skywalks of “concern”In an earlier report of SunStar Cebu, Rama identified several skywalks which concerned him.The skywalk in Barangay Day-as has one end connected to a sidewalk, he said, while in Barangay Banilad, one side of the sidewalk ends on a sidewalk and the other end leads to a jeepney stop. There are also skywalks which have one end connected to a sidewalk and the other end leading to establishments.The one along Escario St. obstructs the sidewalk, he said.City Councilor Jerry Guardo, committee on infrastructure chairman, said five skywalks are expected to be affected by the CBRT construction.These are the skywalk in Barangay Pardo in front of the Sto.

THE Archdiocese of Cebu has joined the calls for the return of the “stolen” religious panels of Nuestra Señora del Patrocinio de Maria Santisima Parish Church in Boljoon town that were donated to the National Museum of the Philippines (NMP) on Wednesday, Feb. 14, 2024.Cebu Archbishop Jose Palma, in a statement Tuesday, Feb. 20, said there is no official record of any request for approval to deconsecrate the panels for removal. Removing a religious icon is a violation under the Canon Law, which stipulates the duty of administrators to safeguard church goods.Palma stopped short of saying that the panels were stolen; however, he said these were taken without permission from archdiocese’s head at the time, which was his predecessor, Ricardo Cardinal Vidal.“Their illegal removal constitutes a sacrilege,” he said.In an interview with the media on Tuesday, Palma affirmed that the panels should return to their origin in Boljoon church, and they should be placed back to the pulpit where they once belonged.The NMP received the panels depicting St. Augustine of Hippo from Edwin Bautista, chief executive officer of Union Bank. The panels, which were reported stolen from Boljoon church’s pulpit in the 1980s and had been missing since then, were recently turned over to the museum as “a gift to the nation.” A pulpit is a raised platform near the front where the clergy stand to talk to everyone during church services. It’s been used for a long time before the sound system became popular to help people hear the priest better.Resolutions On Monday, Feb. 19, the Cebu Provincial Board and the Boljoon Municipal Council issued separate resolutions urging the NMP to return the four stolen pulpit panels to the Archdiocesan Shrine of the Nuestra Señora Patrocinio de Maria Santisima.Palma said he understands the NMP’s desire to exhibit the panels to the general public; however, he said “we have to assert the sacred nature of these panels.”The church leader added that the panels shouldn’t have been treated merely as artworks for museum display or private collector appreciation but rather as tools of evangelization.He said the Archdiocese of Cebu is open to a constructive dialogue with the NMP and other parties concerned.Reports said that the panels were lost in January 1988 during the time of parish priest Rev. Fr. Faustino Cortes.Historian Jose Eleazar “Jobers” Bersales, Capitol consultant on museums and heritage, believes that the panels were also built in the same year the iconic religious landmark was erected in 1783.Bersales said there were accusations that a priest had been involved in the theft of the panels; however, he pointed out that it is the responsibility of the church to explain how the panels went missing.Thief’s identityAsked about whether the archdiocese will exert effort to identify the thief, Palma said they would have a hard time finding the culprit behind the missing panels because the incident occurred a long time ago and remained unresolved even during Vidal’s tenure. Palma replaced Vidal, who had served as archbishop of Cebu from 1982 until his retirement in 2010. Vidal died on Oct. 18, 2017 at age 86.The prelate said there are no documents to prove the panels were stolen, loaned, or removed under similar circumstances, but he is certain that no consent was given by the Archdiocese of Cebu during Vidal’s leadership.“Supposed to be the person responsible for that is the parish priest or pastor, but they are now dead. We do not want to dig their graves and ask them,” Palma said.Palma said that for now, he is grateful that the stolen panels have resurfaced after a long time. But he said that this should serve as a lesson to all, including members of the clergy, to always be extra careful in maintaining these cultural parts of the religion.

It’s been used for a long time before the sound system became popular to help people hear the priest better.Resolutions On Monday, Feb. 19, the Cebu Provincial Board and the Boljoon Municipal Council issued separate resolutions urging the NMP to return the four stolen pulpit panels to the Archdiocesan Shrine of the Nuestra Señora Patrocinio de Maria Santisima.Palma said he understands the NMP’s desire to exhibit the panels to the general public; however, he said “we have to assert the sacred nature of these panels.”The church leader added that the panels shouldn’t have been treated merely as artworks for museum display or private collector appreciation but rather as tools of evangelization.He said the Archdiocese of Cebu is open to a constructive dialogue with the NMP and other parties concerned.Reports said that the panels were lost in January 1988 during the time of parish priest Rev. Fr. Faustino Cortes.Historian Jose Eleazar “Jobers” Bersales, Capitol consultant on museums and heritage, believes that the panels were also built in the same year the iconic religious landmark was erected in 1783.Bersales said there were accusations that a priest had been involved in the theft of the panels; however, he pointed out that it is the responsibility of the church to explain how the panels went missing.Thief’s identityAsked about whether the archdiocese will exert effort to identify the thief, Palma said they would have a hard time finding the culprit behind the missing panels because the incident occurred a long time ago and remained unresolved even during Vidal’s tenure. Palma replaced Vidal, who had served as archbishop of Cebu from 1982 until his retirement in 2010. Vidal died on Oct. 18, 2017 at age 86.The prelate said there are no documents to prove the panels were stolen, loaned, or removed under similar circumstances, but he is certain that no consent was given by the Archdiocese of Cebu during Vidal’s leadership.“Supposed to be the person responsible for that is the parish priest or pastor, but they are now dead. We do not want to dig their graves and ask them,” Palma said.Palma said that for now, he is grateful that the stolen panels have resurfaced after a long time. But he said that this should serve as a lesson to all, including members of the clergy, to always be extra careful in maintaining these cultural parts of the religion. Capitol’s interventionThe archbishop commended the efforts of others sectors, including Gov. Gwendolyn Garcia as the Cebu Provincial Government is also sending a formal letter to NMP, asking for the return of the panels, which the governor said are part of the Cebuano heritage.Garcia acknowledged Monday that there should be a division between the state and the church, however, the Capitol must address this issue because Boljoon church was recognized as a National Cultural Treasure by the NMP in 2001.She assured that there will be adequate security for the panels if they are brought back to Cebu. She emphasized that unlike in the 1980s, such matters were not a significant concern back then.The Boljoon Municipal Council issued Monday a resolution urging the national museum to return the four stolen pulpit panels.The resolution was sponsored by Councilor Eva Lowela Moraca and co-sponsored by all members of the council. Separately, the Provincial Board approved a resolution en masse, requesting the NMP to return the panels to Boljoon church.
