AGENTS from the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) National Capital Region (NCR), along with members of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) NCR and Cebu, raided on Thursday night, Feb. 22, 2024, a business establishment in Cebu City that allegedly engaged in fraudulent activities.In an interview with SunStar Cebu on Friday, Feb. 23, Garry Ruiz, special investigator of NBI NCR, said they started looking into Fergus Inc. last November after they were informed by IFW Global, a private investigation agency in Australia that specializes in financial fraud and asset recovery, about its alleged anomalous transactions.Ruiz said IFW Global represents four Australian nationals who claim they lost 1.2 million Australian dollars, or around P43 million, to the company.The NBI NCR did not provide specific details regarding the complaint. Ruiz explained that instead of seeking assistance from the police, most Australians go to a private security firm if they fall victim to financial fraud.He said Fergus Inc., which has two locations in Cebu City, operates a boiler room that entices foreign clients to invest in stock shares, commodities and cryptocurrency. A boiler room, according to investopedia.com, “is a place or operation—usually a call center—where high-pressure salespeople call lists of potential investors (‘sucker lists’) to peddle speculative, sometimes fraudulent, securities. Sucker lists identify victims of previous scams.”He said they first raided Fergus Inc.’s office inside a building at the Cebu IT Park past 10 p.m. on Thursday, where they found four computers. When they checked the computers, he said they didn’t find anything that would indicate anything illegal. However, the computers suddenly shut down after 20 minutes.Ruiz said there was probably remote access to the computers.The raiding team proceeded to the second location in Barangay Kalubihan on Friday, where they found several computers and around 20 employees.Ruiz said they arrested a foreign national whom they believed to be the manager and brought him to the NBI 7 office for questioning.SunStar Cebu is withholding the name of the individual pending the filing of charges against him.Ruiz said he believes the second location is the “conversion room” where victims are initially enticed to part with their money.“This is the start of victims being defrauded,” he said.Online opportunitiesRuiz said Fergus Inc. posts financial investment opportunities online. When someone makes an inquiry, that person is immediately contacted by a call agent from the firm, he said.He said Fergus Inc. provided its call agents with scripts and taught them techniques to convince a person to invest.The usual line includes telling potential victims they are making a mistake on missing out on a possible lucrative investment, he said.“So now maliliwanagan yung client kasi magaling magsalita (So now the client will be enlightened because the call agents are very good with words),” Ruiz said.He said Fergus Inc. uses Voice over Internet Protocol, a technology that uses broadband internet connection to make voice calls instead of a regular or analog phone line, to contact clients.He said a client has to shell out US$250 or around P14,000 to be shown the portfolio. Once the client is enrolled, he or she is referred and transferred to call agents at Fergus Inc.’s office at the Cebu IT Park.Ruiz said the foreign national they arrested underwent an inquest proceeding, and was later released.He said they were waiting for the case to be disposed.He said the foreign national and others allegedly involved may be charged with violating Section 11 of Republic Act 11765, or the Financial Products and Services Consumer Protection Act, for committing investment fraud.

Philippines EVEN eggs, a main staple in Filipino meals, are affected by the prevailing El Niño phenomenon.In a radio interview, Egg Board president Francis Uyehura said the extreme heat is taking a toll on the production, as well as sizes of egg, especially as chickens eat less than usual due to the hot weather.Aside from the El Niño or dry spell, the country is experiencing intense heat due to the summer season.“Ang malaking epekto po nito… ay ‘yung paghina ng pagkain ng ating mga alagang manok.

Technically speaking, the deal was not valid,” Osmeña said.However, the Provincial Government under the administration of Gov. Gwendolyn Garcia earlier insisted that it owns portions of Osmeña Blvd. “We will see each other in court,” Osmeña said, referring to the Province’s claims.“It’s all part of the Cebu Heights (Inc.) and it’s owned 100 percent by my father. Even the part of the Fuente Osmeña (Circle) is owned by my father. I even have the title for it,” he said.If the Provincial Government insists on stopping the CBRT project citing its ownership of the lot, Osmeña said he will reclaim the property.Administrative Order 253Then President Carlos Garcia signed Administrative Order 253 on Oct. 7, 1957, where he exonerated Serging, who was then governor, and three others for dishonesty and grave misconduct in office allegedly committed in connection with the execution of a deed of exchange involving certain parcels of land by and between the Province and Cebu Heights.Garcia then withheld action on the deed of exchange executed in November 1954.The exchange involved three big lots of the Province and 14 smaller lots of Cebu Heights, which formed part of two national roads in Cebu City.Meanwhile, the former mayor reacted negatively to the two resolutions passed by the Provincial Board (PB) on Monday demanding the stoppage of the CBRT implementation, and the Feb. 21 motion of the Cebu City Council, pushed by City Councilor James Anthony Cuenco, which called for the suspension of scheduled civil works for CBRT Packages 2 and 3.He said the National Government will not heed the call of the PB and City Council to halt the project’s civil works.He said both PB and the council have “no teeth” to stop the project.Osmeña said stopping the project will not solve the problem, but only worsen it.The CBRT was Osmeña’s brainchild. He had pushed for it when he was still mayor and then congressman.During the press con, he said he envisioned the CBRT to alleviate the commuting woes of residents in Barangay Talamban and Bulacao going to and from the downtown area, citing that a dedicated bus lane will be beneficial to Cebuanos who cannot acquire motor vehicles.Discussions on the proposed BRT system started during his term.In 1997, Osmeña visited Curitiba, Brazil, where the first BRT was implemented in 1974.Possible repercussionsIn 2008, the Asian Development Bank, World Bank and Overseas Economic Cooperation Fund of Japan approved the project’s pre-feasibility study, according to Osmeña.He said stopping the CBRT may result in a negative credit rating for the Philippine Government in terms of foreign financing and funding agreements with international financial institutions.“The Philippine Government will never have an international bilateral agreement because if you do that you will be blacklisted from all donors and donations around the world,” Osmeña said. “They will not spoil their international credit rating just because Councilor Cuenco and some crazy Provincial Board members start ego tripping and say we should stop CBRT.”He pointed out that the CBRT was funded not only by the World Bank but also by the French Development Agency and the Philippine Government.The CBRT took 20 years to get off the ground.The entire CBRT system is composed of three packages:Package 1 consists of a 2.38-kilometer segregated bus lane with four bus stations and 1.15 kilometers of pedestrian improvements from the Cebu South Bus Terminal to the Capitol building.Package 2 features a 10.8-kilometer segregated bus lane with 13 bus stations, including a bus terminal at the South Road Properties, a roundabout facility in Cebu IT Park, and a depot in SRP.Package 3 includes the construction of a 22.1-kilometer feeder route, with 76 bus stops including feeder terminals in Barangay Talamban in Cebu City and in Talisay City. / EHP

I even have the title for it,” he said.If the Provincial Government insists on stopping the CBRT project citing its ownership of the lot, Osmeña said he will reclaim the property.Administrative Order 253Then President Carlos Garcia signed Administrative Order 253 on Oct. 7, 1957, where he exonerated Serging, who was then governor, and three others for dishonesty and grave misconduct in office allegedly committed in connection with the execution of a deed of exchange involving certain parcels of land by and between the Province and Cebu Heights.Garcia then withheld action on the deed of exchange executed in November 1954.The exchange involved three big lots of the Province and 14 smaller lots of Cebu Heights, which formed part of two national roads in Cebu City.Meanwhile, the former mayor reacted negatively to the two resolutions passed by the Provincial Board (PB) on Monday demanding the stoppage of the CBRT implementation, and the Feb. 21 motion of the Cebu City Council, pushed by City Councilor James Anthony Cuenco, which called for the suspension of scheduled civil works for CBRT Packages 2 and 3.He said the National Government will not heed the call of the PB and City Council to halt the project’s civil works.He said both PB and the council have “no teeth” to stop the project.Osmeña said stopping the project will not solve the problem, but only worsen it.The CBRT was Osmeña’s brainchild. He had pushed for it when he was still mayor and then congressman.During the press con, he said he envisioned the CBRT to alleviate the commuting woes of residents in Barangay Talamban and Bulacao going to and from the downtown area, citing that a dedicated bus lane will be beneficial to Cebuanos who cannot acquire motor vehicles.Discussions on the proposed BRT system started during his term.In 1997, Osmeña visited Curitiba, Brazil, where the first BRT was implemented in 1974.Possible repercussionsIn 2008, the Asian Development Bank, World Bank and Overseas Economic Cooperation Fund of Japan approved the project’s pre-feasibility study, according to Osmeña.He said stopping the CBRT may result in a negative credit rating for the Philippine Government in terms of foreign financing and funding agreements with international financial institutions.“The Philippine Government will never have an international bilateral agreement because if you do that you will be blacklisted from all donors and donations around the world,” Osmeña said. “They will not spoil their international credit rating just because Councilor Cuenco and some crazy Provincial Board members start ego tripping and say we should stop CBRT.”He pointed out that the CBRT was funded not only by the World Bank but also by the French Development Agency and the Philippine Government.The CBRT took 20 years to get off the ground.The entire CBRT system is composed of three packages:Package 1 consists of a 2.38-kilometer segregated bus lane with four bus stations and 1.15 kilometers of pedestrian improvements from the Cebu South Bus Terminal to the Capitol building.Package 2 features a 10.8-kilometer segregated bus lane with 13 bus stations, including a bus terminal at the South Road Properties, a roundabout facility in Cebu IT Park, and a depot in SRP.Package 3 includes the construction of a 22.1-kilometer feeder route, with 76 bus stops including feeder terminals in Barangay Talamban in Cebu City and in Talisay City. / EHP

EVEN eggs, a main staple in Filipino meals, are affected by the prevailing El Niño phenomenon.In a radio interview, Egg Board president Francis Uyehura said the extreme heat is taking a toll on the production, as well as sizes of egg, especially as chickens eat less than usual due to the hot weather.Aside from the El Niño or dry spell, the country is experiencing intense heat due to the summer season.“Ang malaking epekto po nito… ay ‘yung paghina ng pagkain ng ating mga alagang manok. Ang resulta po nito ay ‘yung pagbaba ng egg production at ‘yung significant na pagliit ng mga sizes (ng itlog). ‘Yung distribution po ng mga sizes ng mga itlog na nakukuha natin ay nagkakaroon ng imbalance. Mas marami po ‘yung mas maliliit kesa sa malalaki ng sizes ng itlog,” he said.(The big effect of this… is the weakening of the food of our pet chickens. The result of this is the decrease in egg production and the significant reduction in sizes (of eggs). The distribution of the sizes of the eggs that we get is imbalanced.

We are hoping to see a stabilized price by April to May.)Uyehura reiterated, though, that the quality of eggs, especially its nutritional value, remains unchanged. He also noted that the size of an egg is not classified by its visual features but by its standard weight.“Kaya meron itlog na maliit pero mabigat at malaki na itlog pero magaan,” he said.(There is an egg that is small but heavy and a large egg that is light.)In a situational report, the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC) said that as of April 19, the country incurred an estimated P1.236 billion worth of damage to the agriculture sector.Department of Science and Technology Secretary Renato Solidum Jr. earlier said that the prevailing El Niño phenomenon or dry spell may persist until August 2024.
