THE Philippines and Cambodia have agreed to strengthen their rice trade as the former establishes its inventory amid the current El Niño phenomenon that may impact local palay production.President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. met on Monday, March 4, 2024, with Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet on the sidelines of the 50th Asean-Australia Special Summit in Melbourne.During the meeting, Marcos expressed the Philippines’ desire to engage Cambodia in trade in agriculture, specifically rice.“Some MOUs that have lapsed… we really need to look back and engage with in terms of trade in agriculture, rice specifically. When I visited you in Cambodia last time, that subject that we were talking about. We were preparing for this drought. It’s now happening,” Marcos told Hun.“It caught our attention. We really should look into it. Something that is necessary now. That’s the lesson learned from pandemic. We really have to be flexible in looking to our suppliers,” he added.While Marcos told the Cambodian leaders that the country is improving in terms of palay production, he said the country still needs to import to secure its rice inventory and one area to explore and strengthen is to improve its ties with other rice-producing countries like Cambodia.The two leaders also discussed connectivity during the bilateral meeting, particularly to boost their tourism industries, as well as trade and investment.“We now have flights, five times, Cambodia to NAIA, possibility to increasing destination… Cambodia to Cebu,” Hun told Marcos, adding Cambodia has just opened an airport in Siem Reap and will be opening another one in Phnom Penh next year.Marcos told his counterpart that the Philippine government has contracted a group to modernize and improve the efficiency of the Manila airport, which has been neglected for years, while it is also developing other regional airports closer to tourist spots to encourage tourists to come to the Philippines.“We are also encouraging flights to regional airports. I think that is what we keep hearing, low hanging fruit. I’m sure Filipinos will be interested. I count myself. I am interested to go in… travel in Cambodia,” the President said.“We have done little yet to explore. I fully agree. That’s for two countries, an advantage for us. I’m very much open for that. We will try to see, when I get back, which regional airports are ready to take international tourists and visitors. And I will be glad if we could increase the volume of exchange… tourism, travelers, and even business,” he added.As of February 29, the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC) said a total of 14,854.86 hectares of crop area were affected by the El Niño phenomenon, which may persist until the first quarter of 2024.The damage to infrastructure was estimated at P941,730,70.01. (TPM/SunStar Philippines) Is gambling a problem in the Philippines? Philippines THE Cebu City Government and the Cebu Provincial Government were urged to settle the Cebu Bus Rapid Transit (CBRT) disagreements, as it may result in inconvenience to majority of Cebuanos if it develops into a legal standoff.Cebu City Councilor Nestor Archival, during the Openline News Program on March 12, 2024, maintained his resolution passed during the recent regular session last Wednesday, March 6, for the Cebu City Government through Mayor Michael Rama and Cebu Provincial Government under Governor Gwendolyn Garcia to sit down and discuss a practical solution for ongoing CBRT project in the portion of the Osmeña Boulevard that was affected by the latter's cease-and-desist order.The Council's minority floor leader said that if two leaders do not compromise and bring the matter to court, the Cebuanos will be the ones to suffer."Kung mag-standoff ni, unya maabot ang ting-uwan, unya naay daghan lungag diha, there will be some accidents diha nga mahitabo. Kinsa man ang mabasol diha, diba ang duha gihapon ka institution?" Archival said.(If this develops into a standoff and the rainy season comes, flooding will be noted as there are many holes in the construction site. There will be some accidents. Who will be blamed for it? The two institutions, rights?)He said CBRT was designed to alleviate the commuting woes of the city's residents from Barangay Bulacao and Talamban and for them to enjoy an efficient and seamless public transportation, particularly those who cannot afford to have a private vehicle.Rama threatens lawsuit over CBRT oppositionArchival was a known ally of former mayor Tomas Osmeña, who has been considered the brains behind the CBRT project. He was also part of the team that conceptualized it.But Rama on Thursday, March 7, refused to meet with Garcia to talk about the project, reiterating his desire to file charges against officials who called for the project’s halt.“Why will I have to sit down? They should know where they are. That’s a matter of territory,” Rama said on Friday, March 8, 2024.With the mayor's refusal, Archival said he is planning to submit another resolution, reiterating his earlier call for dialogue between the two local government units.He added that he is open to a suggestion where the City Council initiates a dialogue directly with the Provincial Board to reach a compromise on the project.Disputes should’ve been settled before implementation, says Imee"Ang ako siguro kay from the Vice Mayor itself and the Vice Governor. So, we will be having that resolution, and I will make that," Archival said.He said they acknowledge that the governor's argument is valid, as the bus station, which is part of the CBRT project located in front of the Cebu Capitol building, will potentially block the view of the “heritage” infrastructure built in 1936.He also suggested that both officials avoid throwing antics in the media, regarding the project, as this will result in more tension due to emotions involved."Instead of going to the media, doing some arguments, we are asking them to sit down and try to find ways nga pwede ba nato ni masabot. Kanang if kanang estasyonon naa duol sa Capitol kay kung pwede ba natu i-atras," Archival said."I have talked to Engineer (Norvin) Imbong (the project manager of the CBRT) and they have already raised these items to DOTr (Department of Transporation) og gina-aksyunan nana nila," he added.Archival added that there is a possibility of redesigning the bus stations, including shortening the height of its roof to adjust to the view of the Capitol building.In his opinion, halting the CBRT project will result in putting Cebu in a bad light for future benefactors and affect its credit rating from the perspective of the international financial institutions that approved loan packages for vital government programs and projects.On February 27, Garcia issued Memorandum 16-2024, ordering the Hunan Road and Bridge Construction Group Ltd., contractor of the CBRT Package 1, to cease construction of bus stations along Osmeña Blvd. in front of the Capitol building, citing lacking necessary authorization from the National Historical Commission of the Philippines (NHCP).A day after, during the Council’s regular session on February 28, Vice Mayor Raymond Alvin Garcia, who was the governor's nephew, urged the Office of the Building Official to issue a cease-and-desist order against the construction of the CBRT bus station through his privilege speech.Garcia: Osmeña Boulevard under Cebu Provincial Government Vice Mayor Garcia argued that the Capitol building has heritage protection following the declaration of a National Historical Landmark by the NHCP.Rama criticized his vice mayor for meeting with Governor Garcia and City officials to discuss CBRT matters, calling it a betrayal. He also expressed his disapproval during a meeting with the legislative body.Meanwhile, Osmeña cautioned the governor about the possibility of legal action if she continues to impede the CBRT construction.Tomas hits back at GwenThe CBRT project's groundbreaking ceremony was led by President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. on February 27, 2023, and was joined by the mayor, governor, Transportation Secretary Jaime Bautista, and House Speaker Martin Romualdez.The project has a funding allocation of P28.8 billion, funded by the World Bank, French Development Agency, and the Philippine Government.

(EHP) Pick a Bonus in Casino 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

(EHP) licensed online casinos 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
