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 Top 5 Casino in the Philippines Philippines A DAY after awarding the project to the Joint Venture of Miru Systems, the Commission on Elections (Comelec) on Friday, February 23, 2024, expressed its desire to have swift negotiations on the contract for the 2025 automated election system (AES).

SENATOR Imee Marcos urged his brother, President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., to stand firm and put an end to the People’s Initiative (PI), which seeks to amend the 1987 constitution.“Until now, he says that we need to study it [and] consult legal luminaries. The Commission on Elections, on its own, has said that the signatures are still alive -- there’s no deadline, there’s no expiry date, and they can be used and recycled for future effort. Let’s set that aside. It’s illegally and unconstitutionally obtained. Let us not let this happen,” Senator Marcos said in a television interview on Thursday, February 1, 2024.“Perhaps, he can make a very firm and clear stand. Put an end to the PI, and let’s do this properly together, and there will be no controversy,” she added.The House of Representatives and the Senate have disagreeing positions on the PI amid claims of it being used for corruption.Marcos: Admin reviewing other modes to amend ConstitutionSenator Marcos accused her cousin, House Speaker Martin Romualdez, of granting monetary reward to the tune of P20 million per legislative district in exchange of signatures for the PI.Romualdez denied the accusations as he maintained any involvement for the push for PI.Romualdez hits back at Duterte over ‘budol’ statementsSenator Marcos, chairperson of the Senate Committee on Electoral Reforms, launched an investigation on the alleged anomalies related to PI as the Senate unanimously approved a manifesto rejecting constitutional amendment through PI.During the hearing, People’s Initiative for Modernization and Reform Action (Pirma) lead convenor Noel Oñate admitted that he sought help from Romualdez in order to boost the signature drive, particularly to get three percent of signatures per congressional district.On Wednesday, January 31, 2024, Marcos said his administration is working with allies to identify the best mode to amend the Constitution but he is not certain if PI would remain as one of the options.He also urged the Senate and the House of Representatives to come up with a simpler solution that does not cause so much controversy.Meanwhile, Senator Marcos also called on the Department of Justice (DOJ) to echo President Marcos’ stand on issues surrounding the International Criminal Court’s (ICC) investigation on the alleged crimes against humanities in the country under the drug war of the administration of former President Rodrigo Duterte."With the ICC, let's have the DOJ and all their employees, undersecretaries, and what have you, echo the President's message that there should be an end to this. This should be clear," she said."I am confused by the stand of the administration. The President says 100 percent 'no.' The DOJ says, 'well, if they come, we'll entertain them' or 'they're just here... as observers.' Ano 'yon? Parang turistang namasyal pero iniinterview ang mga testigo? Nalalabuan ako e. Gusto ko talaga marinig kung ano e (What's that? A tourist interviewing witnesses? I'm confused. I really want to hear what it really is)," she added.Earlier, Senator Marcos said she will continue to stand up for the Dutertes, noting that the former President was the reason for her father’s transfer to the Libingan ng Mga Bayani, which for her was a sign of “true friendship.”Senator Marcos expressed belief that the ICC investigation was one of the factors that prompted former President Duterte to verbally attack his brother.During the prayer rally on Sunday, January 28, former President Duterte tagged President Marcos as “drug addict” and “bangag,” the local term used to describe a person who is high on illegal drugs.In response, President Marcos said his predecessor’s outburst could be due to fentanyl, a regulated pain reliever that the former President admitted to be over-using due to migraine and spinal issues.Former President Duterte dared his successor for them to undergo drug tests in Luneta.He also noted that the medicine was prescribed to him by his doctors."Fentanyl is a medical thing, it eases up the pain. Pero nung naoperahan na ako, okay na ako (But when I had the surgery, I was fine) and that was about eight or seven years ago, shortly before I run for presidency. Nagkaroon ako nang... talagang masakit. Itong fentanyl po, Mr. President, it is prescribed by a doctor. With prescription yan," Duterte said."Ngayon bumwelta ka sa akin ng ganon (fentanyl use), tatanungin kita yung cocaine may prescription ba yan? Saan mo kinukuha yang supply mo?" he added.(Now you’re using that (fentanyl use) argument with me. I'll ask you about the cocaine, does it have a prescription? Where do you get your supply?)Marcos earlier maintained that the ICC has no jurisdiction over the country but according to former senator Antonio Trillanes IV, he obtained information that investigators from the ICC have gathered enough evidence against former President Duterte in relation to his drug war when they visited the country in December.Trillanes said an arrest warrant against the former President may be out “very very soon.”Despite the exchange of attacks between the former and the concurrent presidents of the Republic, President Marcos maintained that his relationship with Vice President Sara Duterte is still vibrant and that their Uniteam remains intact.Senator Marcos said she will also do anything to save the Uniteam.In a statement issued on Wednesday, Vice President Duterte said she respects the opinion of his father and that there is no need for her to agree with him."Taos puso po akong nagpapasalamat kay Pangulong Ferdinand Marcos Jr. para sa kanyang patuloy na tiwala at kompyansa sa akin bilang kalihim ng Kagawaran ng Edukasyon," she said.(I sincerely thank President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. for his continued trust and confidence in me as secretary of the Department of Education.)"Mahalaga ang kanyang pagkilala sa papel ng lahat ng bumubuo ng Department of Education sa pagsulong ng 8-point Socioeconomic Agenda ng Marcos administration para sa isang Bagong Pilipinas. Nagpapasalamat in ako kay Apo BBM sa kanyang paggalang sa aking mga paninidigan," she added.(His recognition of the role of all the members of the Department of Education in promoting the 8-point Socioeconomic Agenda of the Marcos administration for a New Philippines is important.

A DAY after awarding the project to the Joint Venture of Miru Systems, the Commission on Elections (Comelec) on Friday, February 23, 2024, expressed its desire to have swift negotiations on the contract for the 2025 automated election system (AES). In an interview, Comelec Chairman George Garcia said they are hoping that contract negotiations will not reach one month as they earlier projected. "Miru has already received the Notice of Award. We already sent a message that we hope to start contract negotiations by next week," said Garcia. "If the contract negotiations won't be messy, we hope to complete it in two week's time," he added. The poll chief, however, admitted that the contract negotiations will deal with several items, including customization, establishment of repair hubs in each province, ballot printing, international certification, source code review, and other aspects of the contract. "As soon as we sign the contract, we can issue the Notice to Proceed so that Miru can begin manufacturing the machines," said Garcia. On Thursday, the Comelec declared the Joint Venture of Miru Systems Co Ltd, Integrated Computer Systems, St. Timothy Construction Corporation, and Centerpoint Solutions Technologies, Inc. (MIRU-ICS-STCC-CPSTI) as the winning bidder for the Full Automation System with Transparency Audit/Count (FASTrAC) project to be used in the 2025 national and local polls.In a statement, the Legal Network for Truthful Elections (Lente) said it welcomes the openness of the Comelec during the entirety of the bidding process for FASTrAC. "The transparency in the bidding process must be acknowledged. The involvement of civil society organizations, Lente included, as observers in various procurement stages underscores Comelec’s commitment to uphold transparency in such crucial election processes," said Lente. The poll watchdog, however, reminded the Comelec that transparency must not end with the awarding of the project to Miru. "We ask the Comelec for its continued openness to civil society feedback by maintaining open communication channels. Receiving and addressing concerns about the accessibility, efficiency, and usability of the new machines is crucial to protecting Filipinos' right to suffrage and ensuring a credible electoral process in 2025," said Lente. In response, Garcia assured all stakeholders that they are ready to make public all documents related to the AES for the 2025 polls. (HDT/SunStar Philippines) licensed online casinos SENATOR Imee Marcos urged his brother, President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., to stand firm and put an end to the People’s Initiative (PI), which seeks to amend the 1987 constitution.“Until now, he says that we need to study it [and] consult legal luminaries. The Commission on Elections, on its own, has said that the signatures are still alive -- there’s no deadline, there’s no expiry date, and they can be used and recycled for future effort. Let’s set that aside. It’s illegally and unconstitutionally obtained. Let us not let this happen,” Senator Marcos said in a television interview on Thursday, February 1, 2024.“Perhaps, he can make a very firm and clear stand. Put an end to the PI, and let’s do this properly together, and there will be no controversy,” she added.The House of Representatives and the Senate have disagreeing positions on the PI amid claims of it being used for corruption.Marcos: Admin reviewing other modes to amend ConstitutionSenator Marcos accused her cousin, House Speaker Martin Romualdez, of granting monetary reward to the tune of P20 million per legislative district in exchange of signatures for the PI.Romualdez denied the accusations as he maintained any involvement for the push for PI.Romualdez hits back at Duterte over ‘budol’ statementsSenator Marcos, chairperson of the Senate Committee on Electoral Reforms, launched an investigation on the alleged anomalies related to PI as the Senate unanimously approved a manifesto rejecting constitutional amendment through PI.During the hearing, People’s Initiative for Modernization and Reform Action (Pirma) lead convenor Noel Oñate admitted that he sought help from Romualdez in order to boost the signature drive, particularly to get three percent of signatures per congressional district.On Wednesday, January 31, 2024, Marcos said his administration is working with allies to identify the best mode to amend the Constitution but he is not certain if PI would remain as one of the options.He also urged the Senate and the House of Representatives to come up with a simpler solution that does not cause so much controversy.Meanwhile, Senator Marcos also called on the Department of Justice (DOJ) to echo President Marcos’ stand on issues surrounding the International Criminal Court’s (ICC) investigation on the alleged crimes against humanities in the country under the drug war of the administration of former President Rodrigo Duterte."With the ICC, let's have the DOJ and all their employees, undersecretaries, and what have you, echo the President's message that there should be an end to this. This should be clear," she said."I am confused by the stand of the administration. The President says 100 percent 'no.' The DOJ says, 'well, if they come, we'll entertain them' or 'they're just here... as observers.' Ano 'yon? Parang turistang namasyal pero iniinterview ang mga testigo? Nalalabuan ako e. Gusto ko talaga marinig kung ano e (What's that? A tourist interviewing witnesses? I'm confused. I really want to hear what it really is)," she added.Earlier, Senator Marcos said she will continue to stand up for the Dutertes, noting that the former President was the reason for her father’s transfer to the Libingan ng Mga Bayani, which for her was a sign of “true friendship.”Senator Marcos expressed belief that the ICC investigation was one of the factors that prompted former President Duterte to verbally attack his brother.During the prayer rally on Sunday, January 28, former President Duterte tagged President Marcos as “drug addict” and “bangag,” the local term used to describe a person who is high on illegal drugs.In response, President Marcos said his predecessor’s outburst could be due to fentanyl, a regulated pain reliever that the former President admitted to be over-using due to migraine and spinal issues.Former President Duterte dared his successor for them to undergo drug tests in Luneta.He also noted that the medicine was prescribed to him by his doctors."Fentanyl is a medical thing, it eases up the pain. Pero nung naoperahan na ako, okay na ako (But when I had the surgery, I was fine) and that was about eight or seven years ago, shortly before I run for presidency. Nagkaroon ako nang... talagang masakit. Itong fentanyl po, Mr. President, it is prescribed by a doctor. With prescription yan," Duterte said."Ngayon bumwelta ka sa akin ng ganon (fentanyl use), tatanungin kita yung cocaine may prescription ba yan? Saan mo kinukuha yang supply mo?" he added.(Now you’re using that (fentanyl use) argument with me. I'll ask you about the cocaine, does it have a prescription? Where do you get your supply?)Marcos earlier maintained that the ICC has no jurisdiction over the country but according to former senator Antonio Trillanes IV, he obtained information that investigators from the ICC have gathered enough evidence against former President Duterte in relation to his drug war when they visited the country in December.Trillanes said an arrest warrant against the former President may be out “very very soon.”Despite the exchange of attacks between the former and the concurrent presidents of the Republic, President Marcos maintained that his relationship with Vice President Sara Duterte is still vibrant and that their Uniteam remains intact.Senator Marcos said she will also do anything to save the Uniteam.In a statement issued on Wednesday, Vice President Duterte said she respects the opinion of his father and that there is no need for her to agree with him."Taos puso po akong nagpapasalamat kay Pangulong Ferdinand Marcos Jr. para sa kanyang patuloy na tiwala at kompyansa sa akin bilang kalihim ng Kagawaran ng Edukasyon," she said.(I sincerely thank President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. for his continued trust and confidence in me as secretary of the Department of Education.)"Mahalaga ang kanyang pagkilala sa papel ng lahat ng bumubuo ng Department of Education sa pagsulong ng 8-point Socioeconomic Agenda ng Marcos administration para sa isang Bagong Pilipinas. Nagpapasalamat in ako kay Apo BBM sa kanyang paggalang sa aking mga paninidigan," she added.(His recognition of the role of all the members of the Department of Education in promoting the 8-point Socioeconomic Agenda of the Marcos administration for a New Philippines is important. I thank Apo BBM for his respect for my beliefs.) (TPM/SunStar Philippines)
