Joshua Usigan & Ma. Anna Primero, BipsU InternsA SENSE of hopelessness hangs in the air as vegetable and fruit vendors in Carbon Public Market in Cebu City grapple with the effects of El Niño, causing distress among those who face financial ruin. For Susan Bajenting, a vegetable vendor, coping with the sight of her hard-earned produce rotting away is a bitter pill to swallow.“Among baligya malawos ug madaot, ug inig malaya, amo na pong hugasan butangan og ice para mopresko apan makuhaan gyud og timbang so lugi gihapon,” Bajenting said.(Our products are susceptible to spoilage. When they start to wither, we must rinse them and place them on ice to maintain their freshness. Nonetheless, this process still leads to losses due to its impact on their weight.)“Para namo maapektuhan g’yud mi kay gamay nalang man ang supply... gamay og kita para lang naay gamay na kwarta, makabayad sa tag-iya,” she added.(The El Niño phenomenon significantly affects us as it affects our supply chain. Despite minimal profits, we must sell to cover rent for our stall.)Bajenting said they initially sold their lettuce at P100 per kilo, but last week, due to cost considerations, they raised the price to P120 to cover expenses. With the dry season affecting supply, she said they are contemplating a further increase to P200 per kilo.As the temperature soars and the rainfall becomes erratic, the once-fresh produce will now wilt prematurely, succumbing to decay before it reaches the hands of the consumer. Rico Daral Jr., also a vegetable vendor, shared the same frustration with Bajenting as he also experienced a sudden drop in earnings.He said the sales are slow and it’s quite challenging to store certain vegetables, which are not high in demand, in foam and ice due to their inability to withstand the heat.Likewise, fruit vendors are also taking a hit with the prevailing dry season, having a ripple effect on consumers, with vendors adjusting the prices significantly.For instance, a kilo of avocado, previously priced at P150, now sells for up to P200, while cucumbers, previously priced at P25 per kilo, now cost P50 per kilo. Fruit vendors, however, are capitalizing on increased demand, especially during this year’s Holy Week when people seek fruits and vegetables as meat alternatives during the Lenten period.“We earned a bit this week because it’s Holy Week. During such occasions, fruits and vegetables are really in demand,” Samuel Montemayor, a fruit vendor and supplier, said in Cebuano.The repercussions of El Niño extend beyond the market stalls, casting a long shadow over the wallets of consumers, but they have little choice but to pay up. An eatery owner, who asked not to be named, said she usually buys squash, eggplant, cucumber, and other leafy vegetables, and he can attest to the rise in prices for these items.However, he acknowledged that vendors are also affected by the hot weather and understood their need to adjust prices accordingly.While there might be some rain in the city during this period, the El Niño is expected to persist for several months -- possibly prolonging the struggle of vendors to make ends meet.

Philippines A LOCAL legislator is blaming the lack of a final route and other aspects of the Cebu Bus Rapid Transit (CBRT) for the non-approval of the city’s Local Public Transport Route Plan (LPTRP), which has affected some public utility vehicle (PUV) drivers.Cebu City Councilor Rey Gealon, who also chairs the Traffic Management and Coordination Committee, was surprised after learning during the executive session on Wednesday, Feb. 7, 2024, that another feasibility study is needed to come up with the final route.Gealon said Cebu City’s final LPTRP is dependent on this.Benedicto Guia, program manager of the Department of Transportation (DOTr), said a feasibility study will have to be conducted to determine the economic viability of the project since the result will eventually dictate the route the buses will officially traverse.“It (final route) might go outside the given the route, we still don’t know,” Guia told members of the City Council.The current length of the BRT’s dedicated lane is 13.8 kilometers, based on previous reports.The update did not sit well with Gealon, who said the City’s lack of an LPTRP is not due to its failure to comply with any requirement of law, rule or regulation or its ineptness or negligence.Instead he blamed the DOTR.“What a blunder!” he said.Gealon said the DOTr has not approved the city’s LPTRP despite having been filed and re-filed continually at varying times during different administrations through the City Planning and Development Office.“By that admission is the exact reason why LPTRP is in limbo. The reason why our drivers and operators of public utility vehicles have been pestering us, and rightfully so, for the longest time, on what route they will take,” he said.Modern jeepneys operated by Bagong Jeep (Beep) ceased operations for six months starting last Oct. 1, 2023, leading to the suspension of its 58 units plying the Cebu City Hall to IT Park, Banawa to Panagdait, Tabunok to IT Park, and Minglanilla to IT Park routes.Its drivers and passenger assistance officers have been on floating status since.Based on previous reports of SunStar Cebu, one factor that contributed to the suspension was the delay in the approval of a route modification request that affected Beep’s ability to maintain its market position and profitability.The LPTRP is a plan detailing the route network, mode, and required number of units per mode for delivering land transport service, which shall be the minimum requirement prescribed for the issuance of PUV franchises.“This is a genuine concern of PUV operators and drivers as they are only operating on a temporary basis, which does not help at all, if only to give them peace of mind in their livelihood -- this being their means of living,” said Gealon.Guia, in response to Gealon’s concern, acknowledged that they already have a copy of the LPTRP the City submitted, saying it is being looked into by a consultant.He said that once Package 1 of the CBRT is completed, they will utilize the Cibus to ply the route. The Cibus will adopt the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board fare rate, he said. However, Guia said the feasibility study will determine the number of buses based on the projected number of ridership, as well as the model of the buses that will be deployed in relation to operations and maintenance viability. He said they are still looking whether to acquire the buses through a public-private partnership or by other means.Guia said they will adopt necessary measures once the result of the feasibility study comes out.

A LOCAL legislator is blaming the lack of a final route and other aspects of the Cebu Bus Rapid Transit (CBRT) for the non-approval of the city’s Local Public Transport Route Plan (LPTRP), which has affected some public utility vehicle (PUV) drivers.Cebu City Councilor Rey Gealon, who also chairs the Traffic Management and Coordination Committee, was surprised after learning during the executive session on Wednesday, Feb. 7, 2024, that another feasibility study is needed to come up with the final route.Gealon said Cebu City’s final LPTRP is dependent on this.Benedicto Guia, program manager of the Department of Transportation (DOTr), said a feasibility study will have to be conducted to determine the economic viability of the project since the result will eventually dictate the route the buses will officially traverse.“It (final route) might go outside the given the route, we still don’t know,” Guia told members of the City Council.The current length of the BRT’s dedicated lane is 13.8 kilometers, based on previous reports.The update did not sit well with Gealon, who said the City’s lack of an LPTRP is not due to its failure to comply with any requirement of law, rule or regulation or its ineptness or negligence.Instead he blamed the DOTR.“What a blunder!” he said.Gealon said the DOTr has not approved the city’s LPTRP despite having been filed and re-filed continually at varying times during different administrations through the City Planning and Development Office.“By that admission is the exact reason why LPTRP is in limbo. The reason why our drivers and operators of public utility vehicles have been pestering us, and rightfully so, for the longest time, on what route they will take,” he said.Modern jeepneys operated by Bagong Jeep (Beep) ceased operations for six months starting last Oct. 1, 2023, leading to the suspension of its 58 units plying the Cebu City Hall to IT Park, Banawa to Panagdait, Tabunok to IT Park, and Minglanilla to IT Park routes.Its drivers and passenger assistance officers have been on floating status since.Based on previous reports of SunStar Cebu, one factor that contributed to the suspension was the delay in the approval of a route modification request that affected Beep’s ability to maintain its market position and profitability.The LPTRP is a plan detailing the route network, mode, and required number of units per mode for delivering land transport service, which shall be the minimum requirement prescribed for the issuance of PUV franchises.“This is a genuine concern of PUV operators and drivers as they are only operating on a temporary basis, which does not help at all, if only to give them peace of mind in their livelihood -- this being their means of living,” said Gealon.Guia, in response to Gealon’s concern, acknowledged that they already have a copy of the LPTRP the City submitted, saying it is being looked into by a consultant.He said that once Package 1 of the CBRT is completed, they will utilize the Cibus to ply the route. The Cibus will adopt the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board fare rate, he said. However, Guia said the feasibility study will determine the number of buses based on the projected number of ridership, as well as the model of the buses that will be deployed in relation to operations and maintenance viability. He said they are still looking whether to acquire the buses through a public-private partnership or by other means.Guia said they will adopt necessary measures once the result of the feasibility study comes out. licensed online casinos NEWLY appointed Philippine National Police (PNP) chief General Rommel Marbil has warned policemen against using cell phones for recreational purposes while on duty.In his first press conference on Tuesday, April 2, 2024, Marbil said that instead of using their cellphones, policemen must focus on performing their duties, especially in preventing and responding to crimes and ensuring peace and order in their areas of jurisdiction.“This is my first and last warning, no cellphone during duties. We need patrol, pagka na huli ka namin nag-cellphone, there will be no forgiveness. Very strict kami diyan. Gusto namin duty, duty, kapag patrol, patrol. Andito ‘yung mga commanders natin. I need beat patrols, gusto ko maramdaman ng tao ‘yung mga pulis natin sa baba,” he said.(This is my first and last warning, no cell phones during duties. We need patrols, if we catch you using a cell phone, there will be no forgiveness. We are very strict about this. We want duty, duty, when on patrol, patrol. Our commanders are here. I need beat patrols, I want people to feel the presence of our police officers on the ground.)He, however, acknowledges that cell phones are the primary mode of communication on the ground.“You know, if you look at the tao naman na masyado naman matagal, hindi na siguro (nakikipag-communicate) yun. I caught many people mga policemen natin when I was regional director. Hindi naman ho nag-cell phone yan, may tawag. If we see them watching, e, alam mo naman nag -pe-Facebook lang yan o nanonood ng video, kaya meron naman kaming discernment for you. Hindi naman kami ohnahuli tapon kaagad. Discernment, ano ang ginagawa niyo during that time,” said Marbil.(You know, if you look at the people who take too long, maybe they're not communicating. I caught many of our policemen when I was regional director. They're not necessarily on their phone; they might be receiving a call. If we see them watching, you know they're just on Facebook or watching a video, so we have discernment for you. We don't just catch and throw right away. Discernment, what are you doing during that time?)MANILA. Philippine National Police chief General Rommel Marbil. Third Anne Peralta-MalonzoMANILA.

So there is no excuse for our policemen to use their cell phones,” he added.(But right now, according to the DIDM, we have radios. So there is no excuse for our policemen to use their cell phones.)Marbil also ordered the shortening of the weekly flag-raising ceremonies to ensure that policemen were already on their assignments by 8 a.m., responding to the concerns of the public.The top cop held on Tuesday morning his first command conference where he laid his policies.Marbil ordered police commanders to be a good example to their men.“Ang kailangan lang ano ba ‘yung direction namin and kung nawala ka, then out. There is no forgiveness kapag nagkakamali ang mga pulis natin… We just come up with better measurements for our policemen na dapat ito ang standard na hahabulin niyo. If you cannot cope with the standard, then we will teach you how,” he said.(What we need is clarity on our direction, and if you deviate from it, then you're out. There is no forgiveness when our police officers make mistakes... We just come up with better measurements for our policemen, which should be the standard you strive for. If you cannot meet the standard, then we will teach you how.)“Ang sabi ko nga, we lead by example. We need ‘yung mga officers doon sa taas to lead by example. Yun ang priority natin… Alam naman nila kung ano ang tama sa mali, e. Hindi na namin kayo i-striken. Kung hindi kayo capable, then we will remove you. We have parameters enough na to check ‘yung pulis natin kung magaling or hindi, so there is no need na kailangan magkamali mga tao natin. Hindi namin gagawin yun. Ayaw namin magkamali ang tao namin then we will help them,” he added.(As I mentioned, we lead by example. We need the officers at the top to lead by example. That's our priority... They know what's right and wrong. We won't strike you. If you're not capable, then we will remove you. We have enough parameters to assess whether our police officers are good or not, so there is no need for our people to make mistakes. We won't allow that. We don't want our people to make mistakes; instead, we will help them.)In his assumption speech, Marbil said that the PNP under his helm will focus on three things: the quality of leadership, knowledge, and ability; professionalism within the ranks; expanding our ability to uphold the law, maintain order, and fight local and transnational crimes in all forms and manifestations; and striving to increase the public’s level of trust in the national police agency.High-technology policingMeanwhile, Marbil said he is aiming to implement a five-year development plan on artificial intelligence (AI) use in smart policing and an ICT (information and communications technology) development roadmap in operations, including an active drive to recruit and train a new generation of police officers and support staff with technical expertise and specialized IT skills.He also raised the need to invest in AI technology and other capacity to improve efforts against cybercrimes including manpower.Marbil said the force's Anti-Cybercrime Group will be strengthened, noting the spike in cybercrimes or crimes on the internet like scamming.He noted the need for the police’s operations and efforts to keep up with the generational changes, especially in technology.Earlier, President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. ordered the PNP to beef up efforts against cybercrimes.
