THE Department of Justice (DOJ) confirmed the arrest of former Negros Oriental congressman and designated terrorist Arnolfo “Arnie” Teves Jr. in Dili East Timor around 4 p.m. Thursday, March 21, 2024.Teves was playing golf at the Top Golf Driving Range and Bar when the arrest happened. Teves is facing multiple murder charges in connection with the killing of Negros Oriental Governor Roel Degamo and five others in March 2023.His arrest was made possible through the collaborative efforts of law enforcement agencies, including the International Police (Interpol) National Central Bureau (NCB) in Dili, in coordination with the East Timorese Police.“Today's apprehension of Teves is a testament to the power of international cooperation. It sends a clear message that no terrorist can evade justice and that nations stand united in safeguarding the safety and security of their citizens,” said Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin Remulla. Teves, who has been the subject of a Red Notice, is now under the custody of Timorese Police while his extradition to the Philippines is being worked out by NCB-Dili in coordination with the team from NCB-Manila and Dili Philippine Embassy. “The capture of Teves only proves that through concerted efforts and determination, terrorism can be thwarted and peace preserved,” Remulla added. Remulla urged Teves to “face your long-delayed trial without setting any conditions, face the courts squarely.”“Rest assured that the DOJ remains committed to providing regular updates on Teves' return to the Philippines,” he said.Remulla also thanked the Philippine law enforcement team and the international law enforcement partners in their relentless efforts in fighting lawlessness to achieving peace. (PR) Peraplay Gaming - Best Online Casino for Filipino Players Philippines MAJORITY of the members of the Cebu City Council voted for the suspension of the civil works of the second to fourth packages of the Cebu Bus Rapid Transit (CBRT) for six months.The officials also urged Cebu City Mayor Michael Rama to assemble a CBRT technical working group to explore the possibility of conducting a city-operated trial run of a CBRT route from Bulacao to Ayala during the suspension.Councilor James Anthony Cuenco, transportation committee chair, delivered a privilege speech during the regular session on Wednesday, April 17, 2024, pushing for the mentioned measures and introducing the proposals of mass transportation expert and consultant Rene Santiago and urban planner Nigel Paul Villarete surrounding the operations of CBRT.Cuenco said during the executive session on April 3, both Santiago and Villarete suggested that CBRT’s Package 1 could have been implemented elsewhere instead of Osmeña Boulevard. Their reasons included the short distance of the CBRT route from the Cebu South Bus Terminal to Capitol, the presence of numerous crosswalks along the route, and the possibility of simpler BRT station designs to save time and money.The two traffic experts also said that the current BRT routes primarily connect commercial centers like Ayala Mall and IT Park, rather than residential areas, as originally intended. They also questioned the request for a depot in South Road Properties (SRP), which they argued is not aligned with the BRT's original purpose. Instead, they proposed to consider an alternative route via Fuente Osmeña to Mango Avenue if the public prefers avoiding Capitol, while maintaining the start and end points in Bulacao and Talamban. The executive session concluded that there is no reason not to suspend Packages 2 and 3 while exploring the possibility of streamlining the route to a direct path from Bulacao to Ayala or Talamban.Taking into account the opinion of the two traffic experts, Cuenco supported the proposal of Santiago, who suggested conducting a dry run on the Bulacao to Ayala Route, implementing exclusive bus lanes without repaving roads, and utilizing temporary and/or cost-effective bus stations.However, Councilor Nestor Archival opposed this idea, saying Santiago failed to elaborate further the implications of his idea.During the voting of Cuenco’s measures, Archival, Councilors Joy Augustus Young, Mary Ann de los Santos, and Jose Abellanosa voted against the measures, while Association of Barangay Councils (ABC) president Franklyn Ong abstained from voting.

Oil spill and fiber dustIn December 2023, some individuals reported experiencing respiratory issues such as coughs and colds, which they attributed to the fiber dust present in the air. They believe that the fiber dust was a result of the recycling activities being carried out on a nearby ship, which is the M/V Diamond Highway. This dust settled on their plants, rooftops, and laundry, and they believe that it affected the quality of the air they were breathing.Josie Hayashi, an appointed barangay administrator and resident of Sitio Lupa, said that due to these health risks, she and other residents have relocated to safer areas to avoid the pollutants.Some residents, who chose to remain anonymous, complained of loud noise from the ship-breaking operation. They also reported seeing oil spill in the nearby seawater.Toxic wasteOn Friday, March 8, Lapu-Lapu City Councilor Jun Alforque also conducted an ocular inspection of the area where the M/V Diamond Highway is being dismantled. During an inspection, Alforque, who had previously worked as a ship worker, discovered that some fiber waste was not being disposed of properly.He expressed concern that this waste could harm nearby residents and ship-breaking workers. This toxic material has the potential to cause cancer.Alforque advised the ship owner to collaborate with the Lapu Lapu City Health Office (LLCHO) and the City Environment and Natural Resources Office (Cenro) to obtain recommendations.He said the shipping company should adhere to any requirements that the City Government may impose before they can lift the cease and desist order.Cease and desist order As reported by SunStar on February 3, a cease and desist order was issued by Chan on January 31 to prohibit the ship-breaking company from cutting any parts of the M/V Diamond Highway. This was in response to complaints from around 200 residents of Sitios Tulo, Lupa, and Malingin, as well as a nearby compound, who claim to have suffered from skin rashes, throat irritation, and cough caused by dust emissions from the ship-breaking operations.Barangay Councilor Mark Estardo then reported that officials from Cenro, LLCHO, and the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) had conducted tests to assess the safety of the water near the ship. When asked about the safety of swimmers, the city's Public Information Office stated that there are no resorts located near the ship-breaking area.Agnes Realiza, head of Lapu-Lapu City Health Office, confirmed in a phone interview with SunStar Cebu on February 14 that no complaints were received from the affected residents after the incident was first reported in February.SunStar Cebu also attempted to reach out to Cenro to obtain the results from the conducted test, but there has been no response from them yet.Authorized by a resolution?During the press conference on Friday, Hayashi mentioned the barangay council authored a resolution to allow the ship-breaking operations to continue despite the cease and desist order issued by the mayor.One resident, Mylene (not her real name), said they were not consulted by the barangay before creating the resolution.On behalf of the City Government, Alforque clarified that the barangay resolution could not override the mayor's cease and desist order.Another barangay councilor, Lito Pagobo, also confirmed that the cease and desist order is still in effect and can only be lifted by the City Legal Officer with approval from the mayor.In a text message sent to SunStar Cebu on Saturday, March 9, Escardo clarified that the resolution they passed only requests the Lapu-Lapu City Government to conduct an investigation. The investigation will determine whether the Pilipinas Precious Metal Resources Inc (PPMRI), the ship-breaking company of M/V Diamond Highway, should be allowed to resume the ship-breaking or cutting of the vessel.Escardo added that their goal is for PPMRI to complete its ship-breaking operations to permanently solve the problem.

MAJORITY of the members of the Cebu City Council voted for the suspension of the civil works of the second to fourth packages of the Cebu Bus Rapid Transit (CBRT) for six months.The officials also urged Cebu City Mayor Michael Rama to assemble a CBRT technical working group to explore the possibility of conducting a city-operated trial run of a CBRT route from Bulacao to Ayala during the suspension.Councilor James Anthony Cuenco, transportation committee chair, delivered a privilege speech during the regular session on Wednesday, April 17, 2024, pushing for the mentioned measures and introducing the proposals of mass transportation expert and consultant Rene Santiago and urban planner Nigel Paul Villarete surrounding the operations of CBRT.Cuenco said during the executive session on April 3, both Santiago and Villarete suggested that CBRT’s Package 1 could have been implemented elsewhere instead of Osmeña Boulevard. Their reasons included the short distance of the CBRT route from the Cebu South Bus Terminal to Capitol, the presence of numerous crosswalks along the route, and the possibility of simpler BRT station designs to save time and money.The two traffic experts also said that the current BRT routes primarily connect commercial centers like Ayala Mall and IT Park, rather than residential areas, as originally intended. They also questioned the request for a depot in South Road Properties (SRP), which they argued is not aligned with the BRT's original purpose. Instead, they proposed to consider an alternative route via Fuente Osmeña to Mango Avenue if the public prefers avoiding Capitol, while maintaining the start and end points in Bulacao and Talamban. The executive session concluded that there is no reason not to suspend Packages 2 and 3 while exploring the possibility of streamlining the route to a direct path from Bulacao to Ayala or Talamban.Taking into account the opinion of the two traffic experts, Cuenco supported the proposal of Santiago, who suggested conducting a dry run on the Bulacao to Ayala Route, implementing exclusive bus lanes without repaving roads, and utilizing temporary and/or cost-effective bus stations.However, Councilor Nestor Archival opposed this idea, saying Santiago failed to elaborate further the implications of his idea.During the voting of Cuenco’s measures, Archival, Councilors Joy Augustus Young, Mary Ann de los Santos, and Jose Abellanosa voted against the measures, while Association of Barangay Councils (ABC) president Franklyn Ong abstained from voting.
