The sports center has been closed to the public since May 2023 for rehabilitation in preparation for the Palaro. Cebu City hosted the Palaro in 1954 and 1994. The first edition of the games was held in 1948.Government’s roleUnder the memorandum of agreement signed by the Cebu City Government and the Department of Education, the host local government unit is responsible for, among other things, ensuring the readiness of sporting facilities, billeting quarters of the athletes and support staff, and other infrastructure requirements; and providing vehicles for the transport of delegates during their stay as well as security escorts during their transport to and from the playing venues and billeting quarters.The City has allocated a budget of P200 million for the hosting of the multi-sport youth event. Some 10,000 to 12,000 athletes and coaches are expected to come to Cebu for the 2024 Palaro. Top High Stakes Casino Philippines FORMER Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) regional director Yogi Filemon Ruiz, who has thrown his hat into the ring for Cebu City’s mayoral race in 2025, said he will be running to provide solutions to the “deteriorated Cebu.”Ruiz said in a media forum on Tuesday, March 19, 2024, his choice to enter politics stemmed from his aspiration to address basic services he believed have been “neglected by the City. “For the past years, if the City is doing their job, then I would be gladly in my farm, attending to my garden, drinking coffee, just watching movies. But sad to say, every time I go home from Manila to Cebu City—Manila boomed, Cebu City deteriorated,” Ruiz said.Ruiz, who was also a former commissioner of the Bureau of Customs, said although he is a neophyte in politics, he has been in public service for 18 years.“Politics is something new to me, but public service has always been in my blood,” said Ruiz. He declared his intention to serve as mayor as both a technocrat and a bureaucrat.Technocrats rely on technical expertise to make decisions and prioritize evidence-based solutions, while bureaucrats work within administrative systems to implement policies and manage resources.PlansPrior to committing to run for mayor, he identified five basic services that, he said, were being disregarded by the City Government. These are providing peace and order, health and social services, solving traffic and mobility issues, addressing garbage and waste disposal, and managing flooding and drainage.“This is something that is very basic. This is not something that we have invented overnight. These are basic problems that had been neglected by the City,” he said. With his background in law enforcement, he aims to make Cebu City’s streets the safest in the country. He said ensuring a safe environment for the public accomplishes half of his job, and will be his top priority. He said this will be done by busting criminals and drug traders in the city and instilling discipline.Ruiz said government agencies like Philippine National Police, Bureau of Jail Management and Penology, Bureau of Fire Protection, and PDEA, can expect support from him should he win.Ruiz clarified that while he will address illegal drug problems in the city, he will employ different tactics in approaching this issue, different from former President Rodrigo Duterte’s war on drugs.“Rest assured, I will be the number one champion of human rights; there will be no instance that human rights will be violated,” he said.He said he will establish a government-run rehabilitation center, pointing out that Cebu City is the only highly urbanized city in the country that is not operating such an establishment.CBRTOn the ongoing construction of the Cebu Bus Rapid Transit (CBRT) system, Ruiz expressed doubts about its sufficiency despite changes made to its plans over the past two decades. He suggested that due to Cebu’s narrow roads, a new scheme should be implemented once the system is operational. Ruiz proposed that since the current CBRT plan occupies 60 percent of the road, this should be made “flexible” and there should be days when roads will not be exclu­sive to shuttles and modern jeepneys, but also open to private cars.He acknowledged that since the project is already underway as the country has already taken out a loan from the World Bank and the French Development Agency, it would not be wise to halt its construction.“The question is, if we stop it now, who will pay the loan?... Why don’t we try it for one year and if it will not be successful, let us remove the barriers on the sides so we can still use the roads,” he said. Ruiz, however, did not specify which barriers of the CBRT should be removed.Not ‘Singapore-like’ Ruiz said he will keep the city’s slogan simple and use what his supporters are currently using in his campaign: “For a better and safer Cebu City.”He said he will not follow Mayor Michael Rama’s “grandiose” campaign slogan, such as “Singapore-like Cebu City with Melbourne features,” which, he said, is far from being realized.He also said he would appreciate it if Rama would not continue his reelection bid and support his candidacy instead.He described other individuals who expressed their interest to run, such as Rama, Cebu City Councilor Nestor Archival, and Metropolitan Cebu Water District Chairman Joey Daluz III, as “worthy opponents.” However, he said Archival could be a good running mate as his vice mayor.Partido CebuanoRuiz said he will have a complete slate under the banner of “Partido Cebuano,” although he did not reveal names.“We want the party to encompass all the aspirations, all the desires, all the dreams of the Cebuano people,” he said. He said he will have a vice mayor, two congressmen and councilors who are “like-minded Cebuanos.”“We wanted it to be as less political as we can. If you can observe what is happening in the city, all actions of our leaders are for politics, even as simple as a flag-raising ceremony, everything is politicized,” Ruiz lamented.He explained he cannot, as yet, reveal names with respect to the other members of his party, as some of them are incumbent politicians. “They are afraid to come out yet because they might be attacked by those who want to pick a fight with them,” said Ruiz. / KJF

FORMER Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) regional director Yogi Filemon Ruiz, who has thrown his hat into the ring for Cebu City’s mayoral race in 2025, said he will be running to provide solutions to the “deteriorated Cebu.”Ruiz said in a media forum on Tuesday, March 19, 2024, his choice to enter politics stemmed from his aspiration to address basic services he believed have been “neglected by the City. “For the past years, if the City is doing their job, then I would be gladly in my farm, attending to my garden, drinking coffee, just watching movies. But sad to say, every time I go home from Manila to Cebu City—Manila boomed, Cebu City deteriorated,” Ruiz said.Ruiz, who was also a former commissioner of the Bureau of Customs, said although he is a neophyte in politics, he has been in public service for 18 years.“Politics is something new to me, but public service has always been in my blood,” said Ruiz. He declared his intention to serve as mayor as both a technocrat and a bureaucrat.Technocrats rely on technical expertise to make decisions and prioritize evidence-based solutions, while bureaucrats work within administrative systems to implement policies and manage resources.PlansPrior to committing to run for mayor, he identified five basic services that, he said, were being disregarded by the City Government. These are providing peace and order, health and social services, solving traffic and mobility issues, addressing garbage and waste disposal, and managing flooding and drainage.“This is something that is very basic. This is not something that we have invented overnight. These are basic problems that had been neglected by the City,” he said. With his background in law enforcement, he aims to make Cebu City’s streets the safest in the country. He said ensuring a safe environment for the public accomplishes half of his job, and will be his top priority. He said this will be done by busting criminals and drug traders in the city and instilling discipline.Ruiz said government agencies like Philippine National Police, Bureau of Jail Management and Penology, Bureau of Fire Protection, and PDEA, can expect support from him should he win.Ruiz clarified that while he will address illegal drug problems in the city, he will employ different tactics in approaching this issue, different from former President Rodrigo Duterte’s war on drugs.“Rest assured, I will be the number one champion of human rights; there will be no instance that human rights will be violated,” he said.He said he will establish a government-run rehabilitation center, pointing out that Cebu City is the only highly urbanized city in the country that is not operating such an establishment.CBRTOn the ongoing construction of the Cebu Bus Rapid Transit (CBRT) system, Ruiz expressed doubts about its sufficiency despite changes made to its plans over the past two decades. He suggested that due to Cebu’s narrow roads, a new scheme should be implemented once the system is operational. Ruiz proposed that since the current CBRT plan occupies 60 percent of the road, this should be made “flexible” and there should be days when roads will not be exclu­sive to shuttles and modern jeepneys, but also open to private cars.He acknowledged that since the project is already underway as the country has already taken out a loan from the World Bank and the French Development Agency, it would not be wise to halt its construction.“The question is, if we stop it now, who will pay the loan?... Why don’t we try it for one year and if it will not be successful, let us remove the barriers on the sides so we can still use the roads,” he said. Ruiz, however, did not specify which barriers of the CBRT should be removed.Not ‘Singapore-like’ Ruiz said he will keep the city’s slogan simple and use what his supporters are currently using in his campaign: “For a better and safer Cebu City.”He said he will not follow Mayor Michael Rama’s “grandiose” campaign slogan, such as “Singapore-like Cebu City with Melbourne features,” which, he said, is far from being realized.He also said he would appreciate it if Rama would not continue his reelection bid and support his candidacy instead.He described other individuals who expressed their interest to run, such as Rama, Cebu City Councilor Nestor Archival, and Metropolitan Cebu Water District Chairman Joey Daluz III, as “worthy opponents.” However, he said Archival could be a good running mate as his vice mayor.Partido CebuanoRuiz said he will have a complete slate under the banner of “Partido Cebuano,” although he did not reveal names.“We want the party to encompass all the aspirations, all the desires, all the dreams of the Cebuano people,” he said. He said he will have a vice mayor, two congressmen and councilors who are “like-minded Cebuanos.”“We wanted it to be as less political as we can. If you can observe what is happening in the city, all actions of our leaders are for politics, even as simple as a flag-raising ceremony, everything is politicized,” Ruiz lamented.He explained he cannot, as yet, reveal names with respect to the other members of his party, as some of them are incumbent politicians. “They are afraid to come out yet because they might be attacked by those who want to pick a fight with them,” said Ruiz. / KJF licensed online casinos THE Navotas Regional Trial Court has convicted a policeman over the killing of 17-year-old Jhemboy Baltazar.In a decision handed down by the Navotas City Regional Trial Court Branch 286, it said it has found former Police Staff Sergeant Gerry Maliban guilty of homicide, giving him a jail time of four years.The court also ordered the four months detention of former Police Executive Master Sergeant Roberto Balais Jr., Police Staff Sergeant Nikko Esquilon, Police Corporal Eduard Jake Blanco, and Patrolman Benedict Mangada for illegal discharge of firearms.It acquitted, however, Police Staff Sergeant Antonio Bugayong Jr. from any charges related to the case and ordered the Metro Manila District Jail Annex 2 to release him unless he is being detained for other lawful cause.Cop in mistaken identity case dismissed from service in 2020Baltazar’s mother, Rodaliza, expressed dismay over the court’s decision.“Siya po apat na taon lang siya makukulong. 'Yung anak ko habang buhay na wala. Pinagtulong-tulungan nila 'yung anak ko barilin tapos ano? Gano'n lang? Makakalaya lang sila. Sana maramdaman nila din ‘yung nararamdaman ng pamilya ko ngayon na sobrang sakit na pagkawala ng anak ko. Sana sila rin,” she said.(He will only be imprisoned for four years. My son will be gone forever. They helped shoot my son, then what? That's it? They can just be free. I hope they also feel what my family is feeling now that it is so painful to lose my son.)“Ano po ‘yung buhay ng anak ko ano lang, parang aso lang o kaya pusa na ilang ano lang nila paghihirapan tapos parang wala silang ginawa. Parang nasaan po 'yung hustisya, 'yung katarungan para sa anak ko? Ilang taon lang po 'yung anak ko, may pangarap pa po siya. Wala na po dahil pinatay po nila ng walang dahilan. Wala pong kaalam-alam 'yung anak ko, wala pong kasalanan,” she added.On August 2, 2023, Baltazar and his companion were preparing their boat for fishing when the police, who were then conducting a hot pursuit operation against a murder suspect, arrived.18-year-old boy killed in case of mistaken identityThe witness said they initially hid in the corner as they were afraid of the cops who were then in civilian clothes.When they were about to come out, the police started shooting, prompting Baltazar to jump off the water.Baltazar, who sustained gun shots in the head and right hand, was recovered several hours later not by the police but by the concerned citizens.The police later admitted that it was a case of mistaken identity.The six cops were earlier dismissed from the service due to grave irregularity in the performance of duty and conduct unbecoming of a police officer.
