THE Philippine government is not extending the April 30 deadline for the consolidation of public utility jeepneys (PUV) in the country under the PUV Modernization Program (PUVMP), said President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.The PUVMP, which was launched in 2017, aims to improve the country’s transport system by phasing out jeepneys, buses and other PUVs that are at least 15 years old and replacing them with safer, more comfortable and more environmentally-friendly alternatives.It was originally targeted to be implemented in 2020 but it has been repeatedly delayed due to the coronavirus disease (Covid-19) pandemic and protests of several transport groups.In January 2024, after several extensions, Marcos approved the Department of Transportation’s recommendation to extend until April 30 the deadline for the consolidation, which is the initial stage of the PUVMP.By consolidating, PUV operators are required to join transportation cooperatives or corporations. These cooperatives have two to three years to replace their vehicles with the modern units that have at least a Euro 4-compliant engine or an electric engine to lessen pollution. They will be able to receive government subsidy, which is between P200,000 and P300,000 per vehicle, to help them cope financially, as well as access bank financing.Marcos, on Wednesday, April 10, reiterated the April 30 deadline, saying: “Sa kahuli-hulihan, wala na pong extension 'yung (consolidation). Kailangan na kailangan na natin 'yan.”(There will be no more extension for the consolidation. We really need that.)He assured that the PUVMP will not be a burden to the drivers and operators.“Ang tinitiyak lang namin, hindi na mapabigat pa ang babayaran at iuutang ng driver-operator kaya ginagawa nating maayos at well-organized 'yung sistema na 'yan,” Marcos added.(The only thing we are ensuring is that the driver-operator will not have to pay and owe more, so we are making that system sound and well-organized.)Marcos’ call echoed the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) chair Teofilo Guadiz III’s reminder on Tuesday, April 9, for jeepney drivers and operators to consolidate before the April 30 deadline.“Again, I have to reiterate, it’s only until April 30. We need to consolidate because that is the first part of the modernization program,” said Guadiz in a statement Tuesday.He said the extension granted by Marcos is the last, stressing that those who will not comply with the program will see their franchise revoked by the LTFRB.“So we are asking now the jeepney operators to avail [themselves] of the last extension because come April 30. We will no longer allow those who did not consolidate to ply routes,” he said.Several transport groups have opposed the PUVMP, saying it will bury them in debt as they could not afford the modern units. They said hundreds of transport sector workers will be displaced as jeepney operators and drivers that have not complied with the program can no longer ply their routes. This, they said, will exacerbate the worsening economic situation amid the soaring unemployment. As of March 2024, the LTFRB reported that the consolidation rate stood at 80 percent nationwide.

Philippines CEBU will face economic consequences if it does not fully prepare for future electricity needs.The Cebu Electricity Rights Advocates (Cera), a Cebu-based network of electricity consumer rights advocates, issued the warning during the launch of the Cebu Electricity Consumer Rights Campaign on Saturday, March 23, 2024, at the Palm Grass Hotel in downtown Cebu City. Cera, which was established during the first week of March, advocates for consumers to have equal access to stable, reliable and cost-effective electricity. It also ensures the interests and demands of consumers are heard.“We aim to provide the venues for the consumers’ participation in determining the quality and cost of electricity provided to us. We hold Veco, Cebeco and Meco accountable in ensuring power is delivered to businesses and households in a reliable and cost-effective manner,” said Cera.To achieve stable power, Nathaniel Chua, Cera convenor, proposed merging current distributors to become one electricity distributor so they can pool their resources to provide a lower electricity rate to consumers.“Instead of competition, why not collaboration? If we buy power in wholesale, we can negotiate for a lower price,” he said.The group encouraged people from different sectors to participate, saying everyone is affected when it comes to the issue of reliable and cost-effective sources of power.Chua said there are no groups that focus on electricity and advocate for stable, reliable and affordable energy.He said there should be a focus on three problems, which Cera deemed as the Energy Trilemma: energy security, which is the ability to meet current and future energy demand; energy equity, which is the ability to provide universal access to reliable, affordable and abundant energy for domestic and commercial use; and measures, which is the ability to mitigate and avoid environmental degradation and climate change impacts.He belied claims that Cebu has an adequate supply of electricity, pointing to the unscheduled power interruption on Friday, March 22, and Saturday, in the franchise area of the Mactan Electric Company (Meco).“As of now, ang supply nato sa electricity sa Cebu nipis ang atong reserve, so kinahanglan ta og stable power,” said Chua.(As of now, we need a stable source of power in Cebu since our electricity reserves are thin.)Chua said the inadequate supply of electricity will also lead to economic consequences similar to what happened in Panay Island where unreliable electricity services caused a blackout from Jan. 2 to 5, leading to economic losses estimated at P3.6 billion.He said they understood the need to balance cost and reliability, considering Cebu is an economic hub.“We wish for these electric cooperatives and distribution utilities to provide the best available technology which is reliable and not prone to unscheduled power interruptions to be the choice of generating facilities to serve our interests,” the group said. In May last year, local business leaders expressed concerns over potential shortages in the Visayas grid following “yellow alerts” that were issued due to the high demand for electricity vis-à-vis lower reserves amid the hot dry season.Cebu is currently under a dry spell as a result of El Niño, which the weather bureau Pagasa warned could persist until the end of May.High usage of appliances such as air-conditioners, electric fans, refrigerators and other cooling devices has been noted to deal with the high heat index, which can reduce energy supply.

Gambling in the Philippines 2023 – the Latest Trends

CEBU will face economic consequences if it does not fully prepare for future electricity needs.The Cebu Electricity Rights Advocates (Cera), a Cebu-based network of electricity consumer rights advocates, issued the warning during the launch of the Cebu Electricity Consumer Rights Campaign on Saturday, March 23, 2024, at the Palm Grass Hotel in downtown Cebu City. Cera, which was established during the first week of March, advocates for consumers to have equal access to stable, reliable and cost-effective electricity. It also ensures the interests and demands of consumers are heard.“We aim to provide the venues for the consumers’ participation in determining the quality and cost of electricity provided to us. We hold Veco, Cebeco and Meco accountable in ensuring power is delivered to businesses and households in a reliable and cost-effective manner,” said Cera.To achieve stable power, Nathaniel Chua, Cera convenor, proposed merging current distributors to become one electricity distributor so they can pool their resources to provide a lower electricity rate to consumers.“Instead of competition, why not collaboration? If we buy power in wholesale, we can negotiate for a lower price,” he said.The group encouraged people from different sectors to participate, saying everyone is affected when it comes to the issue of reliable and cost-effective sources of power.Chua said there are no groups that focus on electricity and advocate for stable, reliable and affordable energy.He said there should be a focus on three problems, which Cera deemed as the Energy Trilemma: energy security, which is the ability to meet current and future energy demand; energy equity, which is the ability to provide universal access to reliable, affordable and abundant energy for domestic and commercial use; and measures, which is the ability to mitigate and avoid environmental degradation and climate change impacts.He belied claims that Cebu has an adequate supply of electricity, pointing to the unscheduled power interruption on Friday, March 22, and Saturday, in the franchise area of the Mactan Electric Company (Meco).“As of now, ang supply nato sa electricity sa Cebu nipis ang atong reserve, so kinahanglan ta og stable power,” said Chua.(As of now, we need a stable source of power in Cebu since our electricity reserves are thin.)Chua said the inadequate supply of electricity will also lead to economic consequences similar to what happened in Panay Island where unreliable electricity services caused a blackout from Jan. 2 to 5, leading to economic losses estimated at P3.6 billion.He said they understood the need to balance cost and reliability, considering Cebu is an economic hub.“We wish for these electric cooperatives and distribution utilities to provide the best available technology which is reliable and not prone to unscheduled power interruptions to be the choice of generating facilities to serve our interests,” the group said. In May last year, local business leaders expressed concerns over potential shortages in the Visayas grid following “yellow alerts” that were issued due to the high demand for electricity vis-à-vis lower reserves amid the hot dry season.Cebu is currently under a dry spell as a result of El Niño, which the weather bureau Pagasa warned could persist until the end of May.High usage of appliances such as air-conditioners, electric fans, refrigerators and other cooling devices has been noted to deal with the high heat index, which can reduce energy supply.
