THE WATER supply of Metropolitan Cebu Water District (MCWD) has decreased due to the ongoing dry spell caused by the strong El Niño phenomenon.Tommy Gonzalez of the production department of MCWD said on Tuesday, March 5, 2024, that they have observed that the supply has been depleting since the last quarter of last year.MCWD is a primary water utility company, which serves the cities of Cebu, Mandaue, Talisay and Lapu-Lapu and the towns of Consolacion, Liloan, Compostela, and Cordova.He said they used to produce 301,000 cubic meters of water daily, but now they can only produce around 276,000 cubic meters per day.“We have consumers from the coverage area who are already complaining that their supposed 24-hour availability of water is now intermittent,” he said.He said the water needs of the entire Metro Cebu amount to 600,000 cubic meters per day, and they only provide 52 percent, or approximately 312,000 cubic meters.ClarificationHe clarified that MCWD does not serve everyone in the metro. Non-customers should not address their complaints to the water district, he said.Metro Cebu is made up of the cities of Carcar, Cebu, Danao, Lapu-Lapu, Mandaue, Naga and Talisay, and the towns of Compostela, Consolacion, Cordova, Liloan, Minglanilla and San Fernando.Gonzalez said MCWD currently acquires water from three distinct sources: desalinated seawater (10 percent), groundwater obtained from wells (50 percent), and surface water (40 percent), which encompasses both bulk water and sources owned by MCWD.He said the ongoing dry spell disproportionately affects the supply from surface water sources, which are directly exposed to the atmosphere and are therefore “more susceptible to the extensive heat.”Among its surface water sources are the Jaclupan wellfield in Talisay City, which normally produces 30,000 cubic meters, and the Buhisan Dam in Cebu City, which normally produces 5,000 cubic meters.However, he did not provide their current water output.Gonzalez said seawater can be a great source of supply since “seawater is limitless,” but he said it is expensive.However, he said they are currently capitalizing on establishing more desalination projects.On Dec. 28, 2022, MCWD signed a 25-year contract worth P20.7 billion for a joint venture with Pilipinas Water Resources Inc. and 8990 Housing Development Corp. to provide desalinated water.According to the contract, 10,000 cubic meters of water would be delivered daily in the first year, with the delivery increasing to 25,000 cubic meters per day for the remaining 24 years of the agreement.SunStar Cebu tried to contact Gonzalez for any updates on the water district’s water supply output, but he did not respond as of press time.Dry spellMeanwhile, Chief Alfredo “Al” Quiblat Jr. of the weather bureau Pagasa Visayas announced that Cebu is officially under a dry spell.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.According to records of the Cebu City Agriculture Department, 506 farmers out of the 10,719 registered farmers in the city’s 28 mountain barangays are already reeling from the effects of El Niño, with the extreme weather condition affecting 115 hectares of farmland.They suffer from lack of water which has damaged or destroyed some of their crops, said City Agriculturist Joelito Baclayon.“Nagproblema na sila, wala nitubo ilang mga tanom kay nagkulang na gyud and tubig. Ato silang gikuanan, gitagaan ug response dayon ug ato dayong gikuha ang posibile pud na may mga damages,” he said.(Some of their crops did not grow due to lack of water. We’ve already responded and collated the possible damage they have incurred.)The City Government has moved to implement mitigating measures to alleviate the plight of the affected farmers, which include a comprehensive barangay-to-barangay campaign and awareness caravan, rallying local communities and associations to identify and address pressing issues related to farming amid the El Niño.Baclayon said they have allocated P97 million in assistance but only for those who have suffered because of the El Niño.He said insured farmers can also file insurance claims.He said the City will also implement essential infrastructure projects like building mini-irrigations, and deploy power pumps, drums, hoses, as well as construct greenhouses to bolster agricultural resilience.Baclayon also highlighted the formation of three organizations that comprise approximately 97 mini-associations to streamline the distribution of resources and support across the 28 affected mountain barangays.“Importante kaayo na gi-organize namo sila kay they are the ones who would tell us asa gyud dapita within sa ilaha na area possibly naay enough na sufficiency nga kabutangan [where infrastructure projects will be implemented],” Baclayon said.(It was important to organize them since they are the ones who will tell us where infrastructure projects can be implemented to mitigate the effects of the El Niño,” he said in a mix of Cebuano and English. (KJF / Joshua Usigan, BIPSU Intern) Philippine Casino and Gaming stocks 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

THERE is no antivenom available at the Cebu City Health Department (CHD). If the CHD had an antivenom, it could not administer it.These were the admission of the CHD to the Cebu City Council following the council’s request to CHD to store or acquire antivenom drugs following increased sightings of snakes, specifically of king cobra, in Cebu.CHD head Daisy Villa, in a letter to the council, dated Jan. 30, 2024, said CHD’s vaccine services are only limited to cat and dog bites, as well as the anti-tetanus vaccine.Villa said the purchase of the antivenom is also not included in its 2024 annual budget.She also said the absence of trained personnel to administer the drugs is also one of the factors that keep them from offering such service.“As much as this office would like to provide immediate medication to the patients, we are constrained due to the absence of trained personnel and antivenom vaccine,” reads a portion of the letter.Villa also said in the letter that selling and purchasing of antivenom is regulated.SunStar Cebu tried to reach Villa on Sunday, Feb. 11, to ask for requirements or conditions needed to be complied with to purchase antivenom drugs, but messages remained unanswered as of press time.Currently, the CHD’s protocol when a patient with a snakebite is brought to their office is to refer the patient to its animal bite treatment center or the outpatient department. The patient then will be directed to Vicente Sotto Memorial Medical Center (VSMMC).In her letter, Villa said they chose VSMCC as it is a government hospital that is allowed to purchase antivenom through compassionate social grounds that require specific documents.Previous reports said the polyvalent antivenom at VSMMC holds solely the compassionate special permit (CSP) issued by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), signifying its limited accessibility for commercial distribution.According to the FDA, the CSP is an authorization “signed by the FDA director general granting a qualified institution such as the Department of Health (DOH), a specialized institution, and a DOH-licensed hospital, or a qualified licensed physician the privilege to avail an unregistered or unauthorized drug product, vaccine, or medical device through an FDA-licensed establishment for its restricted use.”Villa, in the letter, is hopeful that the recent incidents of snake sightings in Cebu would prompt the DOH to offer or conduct training for the personnel of hospitals and health centers on the handling of patients bitten by venomous insects or animals.For his part, Cebu City Councilor Nestor Archival urged the CHD to come up with a comprehensive program intended for snakebite incidents.Archival asked the CHD to submit its plans on or before Feb. 28.“Cebu City is a highly urbanized city and it is expected (that) we (should) have trained personnel to respond to life-threatening cases,” said Archival during the regular session on Wednesday, Feb. 7.

Non-customers should not address their complaints to the water district, he said.Metro Cebu is made up of the cities of Carcar, Cebu, Danao, Lapu-Lapu, Mandaue, Naga and Talisay, and the towns of Compostela, Consolacion, Cordova, Liloan, Minglanilla and San Fernando.Gonzalez said MCWD currently acquires water from three distinct sources: desalinated seawater (10 percent), groundwater obtained from wells (50 percent), and surface water (40 percent), which encompasses both bulk water and sources owned by MCWD.He said the ongoing dry spell disproportionately affects the supply from surface water sources, which are directly exposed to the atmosphere and are therefore “more susceptible to the extensive heat.”Among its surface water sources are the Jaclupan wellfield in Talisay City, which normally produces 30,000 cubic meters, and the Buhisan Dam in Cebu City, which normally produces 5,000 cubic meters.However, he did not provide their current water output.Gonzalez said seawater can be a great source of supply since “seawater is limitless,” but he said it is expensive.However, he said they are currently capitalizing on establishing more desalination projects.On Dec. 28, 2022, MCWD signed a 25-year contract worth P20.7 billion for a joint venture with Pilipinas Water Resources Inc. and 8990 Housing Development Corp. to provide desalinated water.According to the contract, 10,000 cubic meters of water would be delivered daily in the first year, with the delivery increasing to 25,000 cubic meters per day for the remaining 24 years of the agreement.SunStar Cebu tried to contact Gonzalez for any updates on the water district’s water supply output, but he did not respond as of press time.Dry spellMeanwhile, Chief Alfredo “Al” Quiblat Jr. of the weather bureau Pagasa Visayas announced that Cebu is officially under a dry spell.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.According to records of the Cebu City Agriculture Department, 506 farmers out of the 10,719 registered farmers in the city’s 28 mountain barangays are already reeling from the effects of El Niño, with the extreme weather condition affecting 115 hectares of farmland.They suffer from lack of water which has damaged or destroyed some of their crops, said City Agriculturist Joelito Baclayon.“Nagproblema na sila, wala nitubo ilang mga tanom kay nagkulang na gyud and tubig. Ato silang gikuanan, gitagaan ug response dayon ug ato dayong gikuha ang posibile pud na may mga damages,” he said.(Some of their crops did not grow due to lack of water. We’ve already responded and collated the possible damage they have incurred.)The City Government has moved to implement mitigating measures to alleviate the plight of the affected farmers, which include a comprehensive barangay-to-barangay campaign and awareness caravan, rallying local communities and associations to identify and address pressing issues related to farming amid the El Niño.Baclayon said they have allocated P97 million in assistance but only for those who have suffered because of the El Niño.He said insured farmers can also file insurance claims.He said the City will also implement essential infrastructure projects like building mini-irrigations, and deploy power pumps, drums, hoses, as well as construct greenhouses to bolster agricultural resilience.Baclayon also highlighted the formation of three organizations that comprise approximately 97 mini-associations to streamline the distribution of resources and support across the 28 affected mountain barangays.“Importante kaayo na gi-organize namo sila kay they are the ones who would tell us asa gyud dapita within sa ilaha na area possibly naay enough na sufficiency nga kabutangan [where infrastructure projects will be implemented],” Baclayon said.(It was important to organize them since they are the ones who will tell us where infrastructure projects can be implemented to mitigate the effects of the El Niño,” he said in a mix of Cebuano and English.

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 licensed online casinos THERE is no antivenom available at the Cebu City Health Department (CHD). If the CHD had an antivenom, it could not administer it.These were the admission of the CHD to the Cebu City Council following the council’s request to CHD to store or acquire antivenom drugs following increased sightings of snakes, specifically of king cobra, in Cebu.CHD head Daisy Villa, in a letter to the council, dated Jan. 30, 2024, said CHD’s vaccine services are only limited to cat and dog bites, as well as the anti-tetanus vaccine.Villa said the purchase of the antivenom is also not included in its 2024 annual budget.She also said the absence of trained personnel to administer the drugs is also one of the factors that keep them from offering such service.“As much as this office would like to provide immediate medication to the patients, we are constrained due to the absence of trained personnel and antivenom vaccine,” reads a portion of the letter.Villa also said in the letter that selling and purchasing of antivenom is regulated.SunStar Cebu tried to reach Villa on Sunday, Feb. 11, to ask for requirements or conditions needed to be complied with to purchase antivenom drugs, but messages remained unanswered as of press time.Currently, the CHD’s protocol when a patient with a snakebite is brought to their office is to refer the patient to its animal bite treatment center or the outpatient department. The patient then will be directed to Vicente Sotto Memorial Medical Center (VSMMC).In her letter, Villa said they chose VSMCC as it is a government hospital that is allowed to purchase antivenom through compassionate social grounds that require specific documents.Previous reports said the polyvalent antivenom at VSMMC holds solely the compassionate special permit (CSP) issued by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), signifying its limited accessibility for commercial distribution.According to the FDA, the CSP is an authorization “signed by the FDA director general granting a qualified institution such as the Department of Health (DOH), a specialized institution, and a DOH-licensed hospital, or a qualified licensed physician the privilege to avail an unregistered or unauthorized drug product, vaccine, or medical device through an FDA-licensed establishment for its restricted use.”Villa, in the letter, is hopeful that the recent incidents of snake sightings in Cebu would prompt the DOH to offer or conduct training for the personnel of hospitals and health centers on the handling of patients bitten by venomous insects or animals.For his part, Cebu City Councilor Nestor Archival urged the CHD to come up with a comprehensive program intended for snakebite incidents.Archival asked the CHD to submit its plans on or before Feb. 28.“Cebu City is a highly urbanized city and it is expected (that) we (should) have trained personnel to respond to life-threatening cases,” said Archival during the regular session on Wednesday, Feb. 7.
