A NEW Bogo City is set to rise, aiming to create a modern urban hub equipped with amenities and infrastructure to cater to the diverse needs of people in far north Cebu, including education, healthcare, entertainment, and tourism.The project will “redefine the city’s landscape” by bringing opportunities closer to the north, said Jeany Eve Ynot, Bogo City’s information officer.Traditionally, people from the area go to Metro Cebu to seek greener pastures.She said the project, soon to be known as the Center of Trade and Industry in Northern Cebu, aims to attract investors to establish businesses, which, in turn, will stimulate employment, particularly for locals.“We understand the distance between Bogo City and Metro Cebu, especially Cebu City, where most establishments such as universities and hospitals are located,” she told SunStar Cebu on Thursday, Feb. 28, 2024.Bogo City, a sixth-class component city, is located 99 kilometers north of Cebu City.Last Feb. 21, Palafox, the team that designed the project’s masterplan, shared photos of 3D animations of integral locations of the project on their Facebook page.They said the project “optimizes Bogo’s high potential for infrastructure development, disaster resilience, and tourism.”Ynot said the project encompasses a mixed-use area of 20 hectares in Barangay Cogon in Bogo City. She said it will feature a hospital, an intermodal transport hub, mixed-use commercial spaces, and government facilities.She said the goal is to centralize services and resources in a single location, streamlining administrative processes and improving public service delivery through a one-stop-shop government center.Ynot also said that many schools will be built, along with an aquatics center and a sports stadium.“All roads will soon lead to this part of the city as it will be home to a sports stadium, the first of its kind in Northern Cebu, equipped with outdoor and indoor sporting facilities designed to showcase top-level competitions and sports recreation,” the information officer said.She said they intend to host big sporting events like the Central Visayas Regional Athletic Association and concerts for both local and international artists.Mayor Carlo Jose Martinez already hinted at plans to build a stadium and oval during the third-day stop of Capitol’s tourism tour program, Suroy-Suroy sa Sugbo, last Jan. 25.Martinez also expressed their intention to host Pasigarbo Sa Sugbo in the future, following Carcar City’s hosting of the event in August last year, marking the first time it was held outside of Cebu City.Meanwhile, Ynot said Bogo City, as the center and leading city in the north, has been opening its doors to students from nearby towns, including those from Bantayan Island, Masbate, and Leyte, over the years.She said that inside New Bogo City, they aim to strengthen education by welcoming new schools and universities so more education programs will be offered. She said this will lead to the relocation of the City-funded Bogo City Science and Arts Academy in the area.She said this year the project is focusing on building its road network leading to the area. She said that it is now in the pre-bidding stage. However, she did not provide further details on the road network.Ynot also did not provide details on the budget, funding, and timeline of the whole project. However, she said that to complete the whole project, they will fund it by phase since it will be impossible to fund a project of such magnitude with lump sum amount.Ynot said the acquisition of the 20-hectare lot for the New Bogo City was already a done deal last year.She said the project will be among the three legacy projects of the Martinez family. The two others are the modern, inclusive cemetery and the city’s first sanitary landfill.Last July, SunStar Cebu reported that the City broke ground on the construction of the first sanitary landfill in northern Cebu. The project, costing P 150 million and spanning 7.2 hectares, is located in Barangay La Paz.Meanwhile, in another report last August, the City was developing a five-hectare lot for a modern and inclusive cemetery in Barangay Malingin that will serve not only deceased Roman Catholic Church members but also individuals from diverse religious backgrounds and denominations.The City will provide free burial services for the indigent or the poor and needy residents. / KJF Is baseball popular in the Philippines?

Afterward, a five-story building in Hualien County, near the offshore epicenter, was left leaning at a 45-degree angle, with its first floor collapsed.Taiwan's national fire agency said nine people died in the quake, which struck just before 8 a.m.The local United Daily News reported three hikers died in rockslides in Taroko National Park and a van driver died in the same area after boulders hit the vehicle.The agency said authorities have lost contact with 50 people in minibuses after the quake downed phone networks. More than 70 other people are trapped, but believed to be alive, including some in a coal mine. Another 882 have been injured.Taiwan’s earthquake monitoring agency said the quake was 7.2 magnitude while the US Geological Survey put it at 7.4. It struck about 18 kilometers (11.1 miles) south-southwest of Hualien and was about 35 kilometers (21 miles) deep.Multiple aftershocks followed, and the USGS said one of the subsequent quakes was 6.5 magnitude and 11.8 kilometers (7 miles) deep.Shallower quakes tend to cause more surface damage.The earthquake triggered a tsunami warning that was later lifted.Authorities said they had expected a relatively mild quake of magnitude 4 and accordingly did not send out alerts. Still, the earthquake was strong enough to scare people who are used to such shaking.“Earthquakes are a common occurrence, and I’ve grown accustomed to them. But today was the first time I was scared to tears by an earthquake,” said Hsien-hsuen Keng, a resident who lives in a fifth-floor apartment in Taipei. ”I was awakened by the earthquake. I had never felt such intense shaking before.”Television images showed neighbors and rescue workers lifting residents, including a toddler, through windows and onto the street. All appeared mobile, in shock but without serious injuries. Doors had been fused shut by the pressure of the tilt.The national legislature, a converted school built before World War II, and sections of the main airport in Taoyuan, just south of Taipei, also saw minor damage.Traffic along the east coast was at a virtual standstill after the earthquake, with landslides and falling debris hitting tunnels and highways in the mountainous region. Train service was suspended across the island of 23 million people, as was subway service in the capital, Taipei, where a newly constructed above-ground line partially separated.The Japan Meteorological Agency said a tsunami wave of 30 centimeters (about 1 foot) was detected on the coast of Yonaguni island about 15 minutes after the quake struck. Smaller waves were measured in Ishigaki and Miyako islands.The earthquake was felt in Shanghai and several provinces along China’s southeastern coast, according to Chinese media. China and Taiwan are about 160 kilometers (100 miles) apart. China issued no tsunami warnings for the Chinese mainland and all such alerts in the region had been lifted by Wednesday afternoon.The initial panic after the earthquake quickly faded on the island, which is regularly rocked by temblors and prepares for them with drills at schools and notices issued via public media and mobile phone.By noon, the metro station in the busy northern Taipei suburb of Beitou was again buzzing with people commuting to jobs and seniors arriving to visit the hot springs or travel the mountain paths at the base of an extinct volcano.Stephen Gao, a seismologist and professor at Missouri University of Science and Technology, said Taiwan’s earthquake preparedness is among the most advanced in the world, featuring strict building codes, a world-class seismological network, and widespread public education campaigns on earthquake safety.Hualien was last struck by a deadly quake in 2018 that collapsed a historic hotel and other buildings. Taiwan's worst quake in recent years struck on September 21, 1999, with a magnitude of 7.7, causing 2,400 deaths, injuring around 100,000 and destroying thousands of buildings.Taiwan lies along the Pacific “Ring of Fire,” the line of seismic faults encircling the Pacific Ocean where most of the world's earthquakes occur.The economic fallout from the quake has yet to be calculated, but Taiwan is the leading manufacturer of the world's most sophisticated computer chips and other high-technology items that are highly sensitive to seismic events.

She said it will feature a hospital, an intermodal transport hub, mixed-use commercial spaces, and government facilities.She said the goal is to centralize services and resources in a single location, streamlining administrative processes and improving public service delivery through a one-stop-shop government center.Ynot also said that many schools will be built, along with an aquatics center and a sports stadium.“All roads will soon lead to this part of the city as it will be home to a sports stadium, the first of its kind in Northern Cebu, equipped with outdoor and indoor sporting facilities designed to showcase top-level competitions and sports recreation,” the information officer said.She said they intend to host big sporting events like the Central Visayas Regional Athletic Association and concerts for both local and international artists.Mayor Carlo Jose Martinez already hinted at plans to build a stadium and oval during the third-day stop of Capitol’s tourism tour program, Suroy-Suroy sa Sugbo, last Jan. 25.Martinez also expressed their intention to host Pasigarbo Sa Sugbo in the future, following Carcar City’s hosting of the event in August last year, marking the first time it was held outside of Cebu City.Meanwhile, Ynot said Bogo City, as the center and leading city in the north, has been opening its doors to students from nearby towns, including those from Bantayan Island, Masbate, and Leyte, over the years.She said that inside New Bogo City, they aim to strengthen education by welcoming new schools and universities so more education programs will be offered. She said this will lead to the relocation of the City-funded Bogo City Science and Arts Academy in the area.She said this year the project is focusing on building its road network leading to the area. She said that it is now in the pre-bidding stage. However, she did not provide further details on the road network.Ynot also did not provide details on the budget, funding, and timeline of the whole project. However, she said that to complete the whole project, they will fund it by phase since it will be impossible to fund a project of such magnitude with lump sum amount.Ynot said the acquisition of the 20-hectare lot for the New Bogo City was already a done deal last year.She said the project will be among the three legacy projects of the Martinez family. The two others are the modern, inclusive cemetery and the city’s first sanitary landfill.Last July, SunStar Cebu reported that the City broke ground on the construction of the first sanitary landfill in northern Cebu. The project, costing P 150 million and spanning 7.2 hectares, is located in Barangay La Paz.Meanwhile, in another report last August, the City was developing a five-hectare lot for a modern and inclusive cemetery in Barangay Malingin that will serve not only deceased Roman Catholic Church members but also individuals from diverse religious backgrounds and denominations.The City will provide free burial services for the indigent or the poor and needy residents. / KJF Top 5 Casino in the Philippines .

THE Metropolitan Cebu Water District (MCWD) will maintain the status quo with regard to its board of directors (BOD).In a letter addressed to Local Water Utilities Administration (LWUA) Administrator Jose Moises Salonga dated Monday, March 18, 2024, MCWD general manager Edgar Donoso said they had asked for an opinion from the Office of the Government Corporate Counsel (OGCC) on Salonga’s appointment last Friday of an interim board to take over the policy-making body of the MCWD for the next six months.Pending the OGCC’s response, Donoso said they would recognize the board led by chairman Jose Daluz III to ensure a “continuous and unhampered delivery of public service.”“In view of this, and for the time being, we therefore cannot yet acknowledge LWUA’s authority on this intervention/takeover and appointment of an interim board of directors,” Donoso’s letter to Salonga read.Signing the letter to show their “conformity” were the presidents of the Association of MCWD Managers, Christine Caballes; MCWD Supervisors Association, Joseph Caballes; MCWD Employees Union, Samuel Suson; and Non-Regular Manpower Resources Association, Daniel Lim.Last Friday, however, Daluz said he would abide by LWUA’s takeover order.In a statement released on Monday, Donoso also assured all consumers and stakeholders that despite the circumstances, MCWD operations would continue as usual. “There will be no disruptions in the delivery of water services to our community. We are fully committed to prioritizing the needs of our consumers, and our efforts to mitigate the impacts of the El Niño phenomenon will persist,” he said.SurprisedMeanwhile, Cebu City Mayor Michael Rama said he was surprised by LWUA’s latest action and insisted on his own appointees remaining in their positions.“Their (LWUA) coming in, that’s not the way I want it. I’ll have a meeting with my MCWD on Saturday evening, and they’ll know what they ought to do. So I wish when I come back things are already (coming) and there is no such thing as supremacy,” Rama said on Monday.The mayor refused to comment on whether LWUA’s intervention would affect his appointed board.Rama reiterated that he has the authority to appoint the members of the MCWD board.“My MCWD appointment should stay,” he said.Last Oct. 31, Mayor Rama appointed Melquiades Feliciano, Aristotle Batuhan and Nelson Yuvallos to replace Daluz, Miguelito Pato and Jodelyn May Seno.Existing board members Danilo Ortiz and Earl Bonachita supported Rama’s appointment of the three new members.The mayor said City Hall was tired of waiting for LWUA to act on their request to issue a “certificate of no objection” to the termination of Daluz, Pato and Seno’s services last August.TakeoverLWUA implemented the takeover of the MCWD board last March 15, for a period of six months. In a letter addressed to Daluz and Donoso, Salonga announced the partial intervention of LWUA, which he said was authorized by Resolution 35, s. 2023 duly approved by the LWUA Board of Trustees in accordance with Presidential Decree 198, as amended. In line with this, Salonga announced the installation of LWUA officers Maria Rosan Perez, Noel Samonte and Anabelle Gravador to the interim board of MCWD, with LWUA deputy administrator Eileen dela Vega overseeing Friday’s installation.In a phone interview last Friday, Daluz confirmed the implementation of the takeover, saying the five board members—Daluz, Pato and Seno appointed by the late mayor Edgardo Labella, and Rama’s two appointees Ortiz and Bonachita would abide by LWUA’s decision.“We will abide by the order of the LWUA. I think that is for the best interest of the MCWD,” Daluz said.Daluz said the intervention also applied to Rama’s appointed board. / AML licensed online casinos [UPDATED] TAIPEI, Taiwan -- Taiwan's strongest earthquake in a quarter century rocked the island during the morning rush hour Wednesday, April 3, 2024, damaging buildings and highways and leaving nine people dead.In the capital, Taipei, tiles fell from older buildings as the earthquake shook the city, and schools evacuated their students to sports fields, equipping them with yellow safety helmets.Some children covered themselves with textbooks to guard against falling objects as aftershocks continued. Afterward, a five-story building in Hualien County, near the offshore epicenter, was left leaning at a 45-degree angle, with its first floor collapsed.Taiwan's national fire agency said nine people died in the quake, which struck just before 8 a.m.The local United Daily News reported three hikers died in rockslides in Taroko National Park and a van driver died in the same area after boulders hit the vehicle.The agency said authorities have lost contact with 50 people in minibuses after the quake downed phone networks. More than 70 other people are trapped, but believed to be alive, including some in a coal mine. Another 882 have been injured.Taiwan’s earthquake monitoring agency said the quake was 7.2 magnitude while the US Geological Survey put it at 7.4. It struck about 18 kilometers (11.1 miles) south-southwest of Hualien and was about 35 kilometers (21 miles) deep.Multiple aftershocks followed, and the USGS said one of the subsequent quakes was 6.5 magnitude and 11.8 kilometers (7 miles) deep.Shallower quakes tend to cause more surface damage.The earthquake triggered a tsunami warning that was later lifted.Authorities said they had expected a relatively mild quake of magnitude 4 and accordingly did not send out alerts. Still, the earthquake was strong enough to scare people who are used to such shaking.“Earthquakes are a common occurrence, and I’ve grown accustomed to them. But today was the first time I was scared to tears by an earthquake,” said Hsien-hsuen Keng, a resident who lives in a fifth-floor apartment in Taipei. ”I was awakened by the earthquake. I had never felt such intense shaking before.”Television images showed neighbors and rescue workers lifting residents, including a toddler, through windows and onto the street. All appeared mobile, in shock but without serious injuries. Doors had been fused shut by the pressure of the tilt.The national legislature, a converted school built before World War II, and sections of the main airport in Taoyuan, just south of Taipei, also saw minor damage.Traffic along the east coast was at a virtual standstill after the earthquake, with landslides and falling debris hitting tunnels and highways in the mountainous region. Train service was suspended across the island of 23 million people, as was subway service in the capital, Taipei, where a newly constructed above-ground line partially separated.The Japan Meteorological Agency said a tsunami wave of 30 centimeters (about 1 foot) was detected on the coast of Yonaguni island about 15 minutes after the quake struck. Smaller waves were measured in Ishigaki and Miyako islands.The earthquake was felt in Shanghai and several provinces along China’s southeastern coast, according to Chinese media. China and Taiwan are about 160 kilometers (100 miles) apart. China issued no tsunami warnings for the Chinese mainland and all such alerts in the region had been lifted by Wednesday afternoon.The initial panic after the earthquake quickly faded on the island, which is regularly rocked by temblors and prepares for them with drills at schools and notices issued via public media and mobile phone.By noon, the metro station in the busy northern Taipei suburb of Beitou was again buzzing with people commuting to jobs and seniors arriving to visit the hot springs or travel the mountain paths at the base of an extinct volcano.Stephen Gao, a seismologist and professor at Missouri University of Science and Technology, said Taiwan’s earthquake preparedness is among the most advanced in the world, featuring strict building codes, a world-class seismological network, and widespread public education campaigns on earthquake safety.Hualien was last struck by a deadly quake in 2018 that collapsed a historic hotel and other buildings. Taiwan's worst quake in recent years struck on September 21, 1999, with a magnitude of 7.7, causing 2,400 deaths, injuring around 100,000 and destroying thousands of buildings.Taiwan lies along the Pacific “Ring of Fire,” the line of seismic faults encircling the Pacific Ocean where most of the world's earthquakes occur.The economic fallout from the quake has yet to be calculated, but Taiwan is the leading manufacturer of the world's most sophisticated computer chips and other high-technology items that are highly sensitive to seismic events. Parts of the electricity grid were also shut down, possibly leading to disruptions in the supply chain and financial losses.Taiwanese chipmaker TSMC, which supplies semiconductors to companies such as Apple, said it evacuated employees from some of its factories in Hsinchu, southwest of Taipei. Hsinchu authorities said water and electricity supplies for all the factories in the city’s science park were functioning as normal.The Taiwan stock exchange opened as usual on Wednesday, with the index wavering between losses and gains.
