Philippines GOV. Gwendolyn Garcia has called out the Cebu City Government for disrespecting and ignoring the territorial jurisdiction of the Cebu Port Authority (CPA) stipulated under Republic Act (RA) 7621 that created the port authority in 1992.In a press conference at the Provincial Capitol on Monday, April 8, 2024, Garcia said this was the first time that a local government unit (LGU), particularly the chief executive, had done so.She said no LGU, and not even Cebu City’s Office of the Building Official (OBO), had ever questioned CPA’s territorial jurisdiction over all baseports in Cebu and asked for building permits.She said she was shocked when the CPA told her that this was not the first incident that City Hall had instigated against the port authority.In the same press conference, CPA general manager Francisco Comendador III said personnel of the Cebu City Government “forcefully” intruded on CPA premises and fenced the area, temporarily stopping its ongoing wharf extension project at the back of the National Museum of the Philippines Cebu and across the Compania Maritime last April 1.The governor said she spoke to Department of Transportation Secretary Jaime Bautista, who has jurisdiction over the CPA, about the incident and informed him of the Province’s stand on the matter.“If nobody stands up and says, ‘enough is enough,’ then this will go on because this act has been on going and each time will go bolder and more aggressive. The Office of the Mayor has proceeded with impunity because no one has spoken up,” Garcia said. Capitol’s legal consultant Rory Jon Sepulveda said Section 6 of RA 7621 clearly defines the territorial jurisdiction of the CPA that includes the baseport within the navigational waters of the province. Sections 7 and 9 (a) and (f) also authorize the CPA to implement developments within its territorial jurisdiction that will improve the port authority’s services. ImageSepulveda said the Provincial Government intervened to protect the image of Cebu, as the rift between the two parties is hurting the public’s perception of CPA, and might disrupt multimillion-peso economic activities that include the export and import of cargo to and from other domestic and international ports. Due to this, Garcia called upon the City Government to uphold the law and recognize CPA’s authority and jurisdiction over the Cebu baseport. Meanwhile, the CPA warned of legal action against some officials of the Cebu City Government following the latter’s forceful entry and fencing operation on port premises last April 1. Comendador said the CPA is yet to determine what cases to file against some City Hall officials, subject to the deliberation of the Cebu Port Commission, the governing body of the port authority. The target of the upcoming lawsuit will be those officials who partook in and who were behind the April 1 incident, he said.The “intrusion” was spearheaded by the OBO; Prevention, Restoration, Order, Beautification and Enhancement team; City Risk Reduction and Management Office; City Legal Office, and the city administrator. He said the port extension project secured all requirements in terms of procurement, adding that it falls within the Cebu baseport, which is part of the CPA’s jurisdiction. Hence, he said they have the authority to implement developments and improvements and condemn the recent action of City Hall. Last Friday, April 5, the CPA resumed civil works on the New Reinforced Concrete Deck Port Facility (Phase 1) at Berths 31-33 after it removed the fence railings last Wednesday, April 3.The City Government argued it enforced a cease and desist order against the ongoing project as it has not secured the necessary permits, such as building permits from the OBO, which is required by the National Building Code. However, the CPA insisted that the City Government has no jurisdiction over the port authority under its charter and existing laws, hence it did not need to secure a permit or ask the permission of the OBO. / EHP

Last Friday, April 5, the CPA resumed civil works on the New Reinforced Concrete Deck Port Facility (Phase 1) at Berths 31-33 after it removed the fence railings last Wednesday, April 3.The City Government argued it enforced a cease and desist order against the ongoing project as it has not secured the necessary permits, such as building permits from the OBO, which is required by the National Building Code. However, the CPA insisted that the City Government has no jurisdiction over the port authority under its charter and existing laws, hence it did not need to secure a permit or ask the permission of the OBO. / EHP licensed online casinos THE prices of rice may continue to increase until July 2024, said the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) on Friday, April 5, 2024.In a press conference, PSA director Dennis Mapa noted the record-breaking 24.4 percent rice inflation in March 2024 from 23.7 percent in February 2024.The March 2024 rice inflation is the highest over the past 15 years from 24.6 percent in February 2009.“Our expectation is it will increase strongly until July because of mababang base effect… unless there is an intervention that will happen in the market that will bring down prices,” he said, adding that prices of rice may gradually slow down by August 2024.Mapa said price adjustments on regular and well-milled and special rice recorded a higher year-on-year increments.He said that in March 2023, regular milled rice only costs P39.90 per kilograms but now, it is up at P51.11 per kilogram, while price of well-milled rice shoot up to P56.44 per kilogram from P44.23 per kilogram during the same month last year.Prices of special rice went up approximately by P10 per kilo over the past year.The country’s headline inflation rate slightly accelerated in March 2024 at 3.7 percent.In a statement Albay Second District Representative Joey Salceda, who is also an economist, reiterated that managing the prices of rice is the key in calming down the inflation or the increase of prices of goods and services at a given time.He said that 57 percent of the March 2024 inflation came from higher food prices.If not with the higher food inflation, headline inflation rate could have been as low as 3.1 percent “which is well within acceptable range.”“Corn prices are declining. Fish prices are down. Vegetables are cheaper this year than last year. And even sugar prices are slightly down. Bread prices are mildly up, but that is attributable partly due to the correlated prices of wheat and rice, especially in India where they are substitutes. The game plan must be focused on rice,” said Salceda.The lawmaker, however, commended the Department of Agriculture, under Secretary Francisco Tiu-Laurel, for the significant progress he made in the agency, particularly in being more aggressive with distributing rice production support this quarter.“He has brought machinery distribution, for example, to about 92 percent of target. The P12-billion rice farmer financial assistance is also set to be completed this June – again, just in time for planting,” Salceda said.“There is significant progress being made in the DA, and his governance cleanup of the NFA will also help make cheap rice available to the poor, as well as provide a better market for rice farmers,” he added.He also warned against the impact of the El Niño phenomenon especially on rice which requires the most irrigation.

Gambling in the Philippines 2023 – the Latest Trends

GOV. Gwendolyn Garcia has called out the Cebu City Government for disrespecting and ignoring the territorial jurisdiction of the Cebu Port Authority (CPA) stipulated under Republic Act (RA) 7621 that created the port authority in 1992.In a press conference at the Provincial Capitol on Monday, April 8, 2024, Garcia said this was the first time that a local government unit (LGU), particularly the chief executive, had done so.She said no LGU, and not even Cebu City’s Office of the Building Official (OBO), had ever questioned CPA’s territorial jurisdiction over all baseports in Cebu and asked for building permits.She said she was shocked when the CPA told her that this was not the first incident that City Hall had instigated against the port authority.In the same press conference, CPA general manager Francisco Comendador III said personnel of the Cebu City Government “forcefully” intruded on CPA premises and fenced the area, temporarily stopping its ongoing wharf extension project at the back of the National Museum of the Philippines Cebu and across the Compania Maritime last April 1.The governor said she spoke to Department of Transportation Secretary Jaime Bautista, who has jurisdiction over the CPA, about the incident and informed him of the Province’s stand on the matter.“If nobody stands up and says, ‘enough is enough,’ then this will go on because this act has been on going and each time will go bolder and more aggressive. The Office of the Mayor has proceeded with impunity because no one has spoken up,” Garcia said. Capitol’s legal consultant Rory Jon Sepulveda said Section 6 of RA 7621 clearly defines the territorial jurisdiction of the CPA that includes the baseport within the navigational waters of the province. Sections 7 and 9 (a) and (f) also authorize the CPA to implement developments within its territorial jurisdiction that will improve the port authority’s services. ImageSepulveda said the Provincial Government intervened to protect the image of Cebu, as the rift between the two parties is hurting the public’s perception of CPA, and might disrupt multimillion-peso economic activities that include the export and import of cargo to and from other domestic and international ports. Due to this, Garcia called upon the City Government to uphold the law and recognize CPA’s authority and jurisdiction over the Cebu baseport. Meanwhile, the CPA warned of legal action against some officials of the Cebu City Government following the latter’s forceful entry and fencing operation on port premises last April 1. Comendador said the CPA is yet to determine what cases to file against some City Hall officials, subject to the deliberation of the Cebu Port Commission, the governing body of the port authority. The target of the upcoming lawsuit will be those officials who partook in and who were behind the April 1 incident, he said.The “intrusion” was spearheaded by the OBO; Prevention, Restoration, Order, Beautification and Enhancement team; City Risk Reduction and Management Office; City Legal Office, and the city administrator. He said the port extension project secured all requirements in terms of procurement, adding that it falls within the Cebu baseport, which is part of the CPA’s jurisdiction. Hence, he said they have the authority to implement developments and improvements and condemn the recent action of City Hall. Last Friday, April 5, the CPA resumed civil works on the New Reinforced Concrete Deck Port Facility (Phase 1) at Berths 31-33 after it removed the fence railings last Wednesday, April 3.The City Government argued it enforced a cease and desist order against the ongoing project as it has not secured the necessary permits, such as building permits from the OBO, which is required by the National Building Code.
