SEVERAL mountain barangays in Cebu City are suffering from a lack of water and experiencing incidents of bush fires as a result of the dry hot season.This prompted the City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (CDRRMC) to pass a resolution declaring 28 barangays under a state of calamity following the adverse impact of the weather phenomenon El Niño on the farmers in these areas.These include the barangays of Budlaan, Binaliw, Paril, Taptap, Pulangbato, Guba, Cambinocot, Pamutan, Sirao, Sapangdaku, Sudlon 1, Sudlon 2, Bonbon, Buot, and Tagbao.City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (CDRRMO) head Harold Alcontin, in a phone interview on Sunday, March 24, 2024, said over 500 farmers have stopped planting their usual crops due to damage caused by the lack of water which is a result of the dry spell.He was unable to provide a complete list of affected barangays.In an earlier report, City Agriculturist Joelito Baclayon said there are 115 hectares of farm lands in the 28 barangays affected by the extreme weather condition as of March.There are currently 10,719 registered farmers in Cebu City growing lettuce, cabbages, cauliflower, cucumber, eggplants, sweet corn and tomatoes, among others.According to a previous SunStar report, Cebu City’s agriculture industry could produce between P500,000 to P1 million worth of crops daily. The figures could go as high as more than a million a day during peak season.“We have to act now. We will not wait for the worse to come,” Alcontin said in a mix of Cebuano and English.Alcontin said the CDRRMC resolution has been endorsed to the office of City Councilors Phillip Zafra and Joel Garganera for the City Council to adopt it.Once the council declares these barangays under a state of calamity, Alcontin said the barangays can use their calamity funds, while the City Government can use its Local Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Fund (LDRRMF).He said the City currently has P600 million in its calamity and quick response fund and P100 million in its LDRRMF.He said Mayor Michael Rama instructed them to first use the P100 million LDRRMF, considering it’s only the first quarter of the year.The City Agriculture Department (CAD) has prepared P97 million which will be used for assistance to the farmers.SunStar Cebu tried to reach Baclayon on Sunday to get more details, but to no avail.Alcontin said one of the measures they are implementing now is distributing water in the mountain barangays.He said they are also coordinating with the Metropolitan Cebu Water District to deploy their trucks for water rations in Barangays Buot and Pulangbato.In previous reports, Baclayon said 40 percent of the city’s food supply come from its mountain barangays.Alcontin said one of their assignments is to ensure that the city’s food supply is not hampered, hence the declaration of a state of calamity.Alcontin said the CAD and the Department of Veterinary Medicine and Fisheries are also tasked to ensure food supplies in the city remain stable amid the El Niño.The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) declared on Friday, March 22, the start of the “Philippine Summer.”Alfredo Quiblat Jr., chief of Pagasa Visayas, earlier announced that Cebu has officially been under a dry spell since the last week of February.A dry spell refers to three consecutive months of below-normal rainfall, or a drop of 21 percent to 60 percent, or two consecutive months of way below-normal rainfall, or a drop of more than 60 percent.The El Niño phenomenon leads to decreased precipitation or, in some cases, a complete absence of rainfall, which can significantly impact crop yields and pose various environmental and economic challenges.Pagasa also warned that the phenomenon may persist until the end of May. / JJL What are the top 10 ways to make money online? Philippines TO AVOID risking students’ health due to the extreme heat, the Cebu Provincial Government has suspended all classes from kindergarten to Grade 12 in the public schools in the entire province starting Friday, April 5, 2024, until further notice.Gov. Gwendolyn Garcia issued on Friday Memorandum 22-2024, suspending classes immediately due to the high heat index. She directed the Department of Education (DepEd) in Cebu Province and mayors under the Provincial Government to strictly enforce the memorandum.Garcia did not specify if only face-to-face classes were suspended.Before Garcia’s memo, some public schools in the province were encouraged to transition to online classes and revert to distance learning, following earlier declarations by mayors suspending face-to-face (F2F) classes due to hot weather.In a text message on Friday, April 5, DepEd Cebu Province superintendent Dr. Senen Priscilo Paulin told SunStar Cebu that they will abide by the governor’s directive in the interest of their learners and personnel.However, Paulin had yet to respond to SunStar Cebu’s inquiries about how DepEd plans to make up for missed classes to meet the required number of school days.SunStar Cebu tried to reach DepEd 7 Director Salustiano Jimenez regarding the affected school days, but he had yet to respond as of this writing.Mixed reactionsIn an online forum posted on SunStar Cebu’s Facebook page on Friday, netizens shared mixed reactions to the suspension of classes.Some netizens commented that the suspension could result in a longer school year, while others feared that students might just use their free time for outdoor activities and vacations.“Dili man cguro kinahanglan i-suspenso ang klase. Pwede man gud mag online or di kaha mag module lang sa mintras tanto. Para dili pud mabiya sa mga angay buluhaton sa skwelahan,” a netizen commented.(I don’t think it’s necessary to suspend classes. It’s possible to have online classes or just use modules in the meantime. This way, students won’t miss out on schoolwork that needs to be done.)In separate interviews, a student and some parents expressed preferrence to maintain their current class schedule and setup, arguing that class suspension could delay students’ academic progress.Josef Toquero, a senior high school student, disagrees with the implementation of a partial suspension of face-to-face classes, as he thinks this might affect their time and studies in school.“If I declare ni siya nga from 6 to 11 a.m., maka benefit sad mi ana, pero murag ma delay pud ang pagtudlo sa teacher sa students kay naa ra bay subject na sa hapon siya klasehan. Tapos mostly eight subjects ra ba tas dili maigo sa kana ra nga oras,” said Toquero.“For me, I don’t agree with the suspension, because the children will just be using their gadgets more,” said Junesya Yta, a parent of two school-aged children, in Cebuano. “If they are in school, at least someone is supervising them and they can dedicate more time to their classes.”Emma Canasa, another parent, said as long as her children’s classrooms are not crowded and are properly ventilated, suspension of classes is not required.Meanwhile, despite these reservations, a parent acknowledged the necessity of the measure.“For me, it’s better if the classes will be suspended. It’s best to extend the suspension to the whole day because of the heat. Because even if they will move the classes to 6 to 11 a.m., they will still experience the intense heat at noon,” Ma. Joji Mendajaol, a concerned citizen, said in Cebuano.Garcia’s order came after the declaration of 22 local government units (LGUs), 20 of them under the jurisdiction of the Provincial Government, that they would suspend F2F classes and modify the delivery mode of learning. These LGUs include the municipalities of Asturias, Badian, Balamban, Compostela, Consolacion, Cordova, Liloan, Medellin, Minglanilla, Poro, Ronda, San Fernando, San Remigio, Sibonga, Tabogon, Tabuelan, Tuburan, and the cities of Lapu-Lapu, Naga, Talisay, and Toledo.These LGUs have implemented alternative delivery modes of learning, such as shifting to online or modular printed modes, adjusting to half-day class hours, and adopting a blended learning approach, based on the locations of schools, considering internet connectivity.Mandaue City, which first implemented the blended learning approach, has altered it and mandated the suspension of face-to-face classes.The Cebu City Government, however, has granted school principals discretion in the suspension of classes. However, Cebu City Mayor Michael Rama has proposed a shift to partial face-to-face classes from 6 to 11 a.m.Jimenez last Wednesday said LGUs can suspend face-to-face classes in times of calamities. He said public and private school administrators are authorized to transition to modular classes “in cases of unfavorable weather and environment, such as, but not limited to high temperatures,” by DepEd Order 37 of 2022.Weather bureau Pagasa forecast a 38 degree Celsius heat index or apparent temperature in Cebu for Saturday, April 6. / EHP, with reports from Jay Adobo and Joshua Usigan / BIPSU Interns

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

SEVERAL mountain barangays in Cebu City are suffering from a lack of water and experiencing incidents of bush fires as a result of the dry hot season.This prompted the City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (CDRRMC) to pass a resolution declaring 28 barangays under a state of calamity following the adverse impact of the weather phenomenon El Niño on the farmers in these areas.These include the barangays of Budlaan, Binaliw, Paril, Taptap, Pulangbato, Guba, Cambinocot, Pamutan, Sirao, Sapangdaku, Sudlon 1, Sudlon 2, Bonbon, Buot, and Tagbao.City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (CDRRMO) head Harold Alcontin, in a phone interview on Sunday, March 24, 2024, said over 500 farmers have stopped planting their usual crops due to damage caused by the lack of water which is a result of the dry spell.He was unable to provide a complete list of affected barangays.In an earlier report, City Agriculturist Joelito Baclayon said there are 115 hectares of farm lands in the 28 barangays affected by the extreme weather condition as of March.There are currently 10,719 registered farmers in Cebu City growing lettuce, cabbages, cauliflower, cucumber, eggplants, sweet corn and tomatoes, among others.According to a previous SunStar report, Cebu City’s agriculture industry could produce between P500,000 to P1 million worth of crops daily. The figures could go as high as more than a million a day during peak season.“We have to act now. We will not wait for the worse to come,” Alcontin said in a mix of Cebuano and English.Alcontin said the CDRRMC resolution has been endorsed to the office of City Councilors Phillip Zafra and Joel Garganera for the City Council to adopt it.Once the council declares these barangays under a state of calamity, Alcontin said the barangays can use their calamity funds, while the City Government can use its Local Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Fund (LDRRMF).He said the City currently has P600 million in its calamity and quick response fund and P100 million in its LDRRMF.He said Mayor Michael Rama instructed them to first use the P100 million LDRRMF, considering it’s only the first quarter of the year.The City Agriculture Department (CAD) has prepared P97 million which will be used for assistance to the farmers.SunStar Cebu tried to reach Baclayon on Sunday to get more details, but to no avail.Alcontin said one of the measures they are implementing now is distributing water in the mountain barangays.He said they are also coordinating with the Metropolitan Cebu Water District to deploy their trucks for water rations in Barangays Buot and Pulangbato.In previous reports, Baclayon said 40 percent of the city’s food supply come from its mountain barangays.Alcontin said one of their assignments is to ensure that the city’s food supply is not hampered, hence the declaration of a state of calamity.Alcontin said the CAD and the Department of Veterinary Medicine and Fisheries are also tasked to ensure food supplies in the city remain stable amid the El Niño.The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) declared on Friday, March 22, the start of the “Philippine Summer.”Alfredo Quiblat Jr., chief of Pagasa Visayas, earlier announced that Cebu has officially been under a dry spell since the last week of February.A dry spell refers to three consecutive months of below-normal rainfall, or a drop of 21 percent to 60 percent, or two consecutive months of way below-normal rainfall, or a drop of more than 60 percent.The El Niño phenomenon leads to decreased precipitation or, in some cases, a complete absence of rainfall, which can significantly impact crop yields and pose various environmental and economic challenges.Pagasa also warned that the phenomenon may persist until the end of May. / JJL

The figures could go as high as more than a million a day during peak season.“We have to act now. We will not wait for the worse to come,” Alcontin said in a mix of Cebuano and English.Alcontin said the CDRRMC resolution has been endorsed to the office of City Councilors Phillip Zafra and Joel Garganera for the City Council to adopt it.Once the council declares these barangays under a state of calamity, Alcontin said the barangays can use their calamity funds, while the City Government can use its Local Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Fund (LDRRMF).He said the City currently has P600 million in its calamity and quick response fund and P100 million in its LDRRMF.He said Mayor Michael Rama instructed them to first use the P100 million LDRRMF, considering it’s only the first quarter of the year.The City Agriculture Department (CAD) has prepared P97 million which will be used for assistance to the farmers.SunStar Cebu tried to reach Baclayon on Sunday to get more details, but to no avail.Alcontin said one of the measures they are implementing now is distributing water in the mountain barangays.He said they are also coordinating with the Metropolitan Cebu Water District to deploy their trucks for water rations in Barangays Buot and Pulangbato.In previous reports, Baclayon said 40 percent of the city’s food supply come from its mountain barangays.Alcontin said one of their assignments is to ensure that the city’s food supply is not hampered, hence the declaration of a state of calamity.Alcontin said the CAD and the Department of Veterinary Medicine and Fisheries are also tasked to ensure food supplies in the city remain stable amid the El Niño.The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) declared on Friday, March 22, the start of the “Philippine Summer.”Alfredo Quiblat Jr., chief of Pagasa Visayas, earlier announced that Cebu has officially been under a dry spell since the last week of February.A dry spell refers to three consecutive months of below-normal rainfall, or a drop of 21 percent to 60 percent, or two consecutive months of way below-normal rainfall, or a drop of more than 60 percent.The El Niño phenomenon leads to decreased precipitation or, in some cases, a complete absence of rainfall, which can significantly impact crop yields and pose various environmental and economic challenges.Pagasa also warned that the phenomenon may persist until the end of May. / JJL, check the following table to see what categories most online casinos in the Philippines fit in.

Gwendolyn Garcia issued on Friday Memorandum 22-2024, suspending classes immediately due to the high heat index. She directed the Department of Education (DepEd) in Cebu Province and mayors under the Provincial Government to strictly enforce the memorandum.Garcia did not specify if only face-to-face classes were suspended.Before Garcia’s memo, some public schools in the province were encouraged to transition to online classes and revert to distance learning, following earlier declarations by mayors suspending face-to-face (F2F) classes due to hot weather.In a text message on Friday, April 5, DepEd Cebu Province superintendent Dr. Senen Priscilo Paulin told SunStar Cebu that they will abide by the governor’s directive in the interest of their learners and personnel.However, Paulin had yet to respond to SunStar Cebu’s inquiries about how DepEd plans to make up for missed classes to meet the required number of school days.SunStar Cebu tried to reach DepEd 7 Director Salustiano Jimenez regarding the affected school days, but he had yet to respond as of this writing.Mixed reactionsIn an online forum posted on SunStar Cebu’s Facebook page on Friday, netizens shared mixed reactions to the suspension of classes.Some netizens commented that the suspension could result in a longer school year, while others feared that students might just use their free time for outdoor activities and vacations.“Dili man cguro kinahanglan i-suspenso ang klase. Pwede man gud mag online or di kaha mag module lang sa mintras tanto. Para dili pud mabiya sa mga angay buluhaton sa skwelahan,” a netizen commented.(I don’t think it’s necessary to suspend classes. It’s possible to have online classes or just use modules in the meantime. This way, students won’t miss out on schoolwork that needs to be done.)In separate interviews, a student and some parents expressed preferrence to maintain their current class schedule and setup, arguing that class suspension could delay students’ academic progress.Josef Toquero, a senior high school student, disagrees with the implementation of a partial suspension of face-to-face classes, as he thinks this might affect their time and studies in school.“If I declare ni siya nga from 6 to 11 a.m., maka benefit sad mi ana, pero murag ma delay pud ang pagtudlo sa teacher sa students kay naa ra bay subject na sa hapon siya klasehan. Tapos mostly eight subjects ra ba tas dili maigo sa kana ra nga oras,” said Toquero.“For me, I don’t agree with the suspension, because the children will just be using their gadgets more,” said Junesya Yta, a parent of two school-aged children, in Cebuano. “If they are in school, at least someone is supervising them and they can dedicate more time to their classes.”Emma Canasa, another parent, said as long as her children’s classrooms are not crowded and are properly ventilated, suspension of classes is not required.Meanwhile, despite these reservations, a parent acknowledged the necessity of the measure.“For me, it’s better if the classes will be suspended. It’s best to extend the suspension to the whole day because of the heat. Because even if they will move the classes to 6 to 11 a.m., they will still experience the intense heat at noon,” Ma. Joji Mendajaol, a concerned citizen, said in Cebuano.Garcia’s order came after the declaration of 22 local government units (LGUs), 20 of them under the jurisdiction of the Provincial Government, that they would suspend F2F classes and modify the delivery mode of learning. These LGUs include the municipalities of Asturias, Badian, Balamban, Compostela, Consolacion, Cordova, Liloan, Medellin, Minglanilla, Poro, Ronda, San Fernando, San Remigio, Sibonga, Tabogon, Tabuelan, Tuburan, and the cities of Lapu-Lapu, Naga, Talisay, and Toledo.These LGUs have implemented alternative delivery modes of learning, such as shifting to online or modular printed modes, adjusting to half-day class hours, and adopting a blended learning approach, based on the locations of schools, considering internet connectivity.Mandaue City, which first implemented the blended learning approach, has altered it and mandated the suspension of face-to-face classes.The Cebu City Government, however, has granted school principals discretion in the suspension of classes.

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
