CEBU City Mayor Michael Rama has called for the ouster of Cebu Bus Rapid Transit (CBRT) project manager Norvim Imbong due to alleged mismanagement of the project.In an interview on Friday, March 1, 2024, Rama said he already communicated with Transportation Secretary Jaime Bautista regarding his “decision” to remove Imbong from the project. Over Cebu City Hall’s online program “Ingna’ng Mayor” on Thursday, Feb. 29, Rama also said if needed, he would personally bring up his decision to remove Imbong from his position to President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.Rama attributed the delays in the CBRT project to Imbong’s “mismanagement” and alleged lack of coordination with the City.Rama expressed displeasure when Imbong allowed the contractor to work without considering its impact on traffic.In a separate interview with radio dyHP on Thursday, Rama said he already told Cebu City Administrator Collin Rosell that he had enough of Imbong.“Taga-an lang ka’g smile-smile (He just keeps on smiling). I’m sorry, I want him out,”Rama said.Original routeRama was also displeased that the original route of the CBRT project was altered, particularly on the exclusion of Barangay Bulacao.“Tan-awa giunsa ninyo, dayon moingon mo nga wala mo’y kalibutan (Look at what you’ve done. And then you will say you know nothing about it),” Rama said.Last November, SunStar Cebu reported that the project’s completion date had been pushed to 2027 due to changes in the design, including the inclusion of Package 4, which is a dedicated lane from Barangay Bulacao to Mambaling; extension of the alignment from Ayala to Cebu IT Park; a rotunda underneath the Mambaling flyover; and the conversion of a mixed traffic lane along the South Road Properties (SRP) coastal road and along F. Vestil St.Rama said he will push for the CBRT’s original concept and sit down with concerned national officials to discuss the matter.Rama denied allegations he was responsible for the changes to the CBRT route, arguing that he fought for the original plan, but some officials dipped their hands into the project. Imbong’s sideSought for comment on Rama’s call for his ouster, Imbong said on Friday that it would be up to the discretion of the Department of Transportation (DOTr) Central Office whether or not to replace him.In a phone interview, Imbong told SunStar Cebu that he understands Rama’s perspective in asking for his removal due to project delays.However, he said the delays were inevitable as these were caused by setbacks such as processing permits, road conditions, underground waterpipes and telecommunication cables, the rainy season, the Sinulog festival, and others. Imbong explained that the CBRT project involves the DOTr as proponent, the China-based Hunan Road and Bridge Construction Group Ltd as the contractor, and the South Korea-based Kunhwa Engineering and Consulting Co. Ltd., as the construction supervision consultant. Approval from consultantImbong said every change in the implementation and planning of the CBRT project due to setbacks needs the approval of the construction supervision consultant. Imbong said Kunhwa Engineering and Consulting Co. Ltd. led the project’s technical working group. The firm also made the detailed engineering design of the CBRT. “Because this is foreign-funded, it’s not the same as us directly managing our contractor since we have a construction supervision consultant,” Imbong said in Cebuano.“Everything the contractor does has to abide by the specification of the consultant. Otherwise, work on the project will not proceed,” he added. Imbong said because of this setup, DOTr project engineers cannot supervise the contractor who will have to follow the consultant’s specifications in order to be billed for their civil works. He said the DOTr helps the contractor and consultant in the coordination with local government units (LGUs), including the filing and application of necessary permits and authorizations.Imbong also pointed to Cebu’s Fiesta Señor celebration and the Sinulog festival in Jan. 2024 as another cause of delay. Imbong said majority of the civil works months before the festival were rescheduled to give way to major events such as the solemn procession. The rainy season in the latter part of 2023 also delayed the project as the excavated portion was easily filled with rainwater that had to be pumped out, said Imbong.Heritage About the order to halt ongoing works along Osmeña Blvd., fronting the Cebu Capitol Building going to Fuente Osmeña Circle, Imbong said the DOTr is now coordinating with the Cultural and Historical Affairs Office (Chao) Cebu City for redesigning and approval. He said they were caught off-guard by Cebu Gov. Gwendolyn Garcia’s Memorandum 16-2024 ordering the contractor to immediately stop the construction of the bus station in front of the Capitol building. Back in 2020, Imbong said they collaborated with the Chao to determine if the CBRT project will affect buildings and sites with historical and cultural significance. He said CBRT proponents also presented project plans including the location of the bus station; however, they did not receive recommendations or corrections from the Chao at the time. Imbong clarified that he is not blaming the Chao. Rather, he is now focused on resolving concerns raised by the Cebu Provincial Government and will seek the approval of the Chao and the National Historical Commission of the Philippines (NHCP) as mandated under RA 10066. “I don’t like putting blame on anyone,” Imbong said. / AML, EHP Is Philippines ESL or EFL? Philippines AFTER the death of a four-year-old boy who fell from a unit on the 27th floor of a condominium in Barangay Lahug, Cebu City, the Office of the Building Official (OBO) has temporarily closed the unit pending submission of incident report and completion of building design inspection.OBO head Florante Catalan led the ocular inspection of the unit of the Median Condominium on Thursday, April 11, three days after the fatal incident happened on Monday, April 8.On Tuesday, April 9, City Councilor Rey Gealon issued a resolution requesting OBO to investigate the incident to determine if an occupancy permit was issued for the unit and check any design flaws that may have contributed to the child’s fall.The investigation also aims to prevent similar incidents and ensure the safety of all condominium residents.Catalan told reporters on Thursday that the temporary closure will only apply to the unit from which the child fell. Other units in the condo will not be affected.Catalan added that the management has not yet submitted its report on the incident, which is required before his office will decide to reopen the condo unit.However, he said he would allow the management sufficient time to prepare the report.Design inspectionCatalan said the condominium has two designs: the first design has a terrace and the other features only awning-type windows.According to initial reports, the boy fell from the unit without a terrace. He was rushed to the hospital; however, doctors pronounced him dead upon arrival.Catalan said they mandated the condominium management to inspect its building’s architectural design, particularly its windows.He noted that the awning windows are equipped only with limiters that restrict the opening.When asked if the management will be compelled to alter the condominium’s window designs, Catalan said it would depend on the assessment of the management’s architectural team.“Dili ta makahilabot man gud sa designers kon unsa,” he said. (We cannot interfere with what the designers decide.)UndeclaredCatalan said the boy’s family was only renting the unit. The family allegedly had not informed the unit’s owner that they had children with them.He said the boy’s family had already vacated the unit. When asked who would be accountable for the incident, Catalan said he was not sure yet.“Dili lang pod nato i-blame tanan. Kita nga mga ginikanan usa pod sa (atong katungdanan) nga bantayan nato atong anak,” he said.(We should not solely blame anyone; as parents, it is also our responsibility to watch over our children.)An investigation by the police revealed that the boy’s body hit a canopy on the third floor before falling to the floor near the swimming pool.Before the incident, the boy’s mother went to the kitchen to prepare coffee, leaving her two children, including the four-year-old in the room.

NOW is the right time to create one agency that will focus on the water sector, considering the current threat of El Niño and other ongoing issues regarding water.Sen. Imee Marcos, during her interview on SunStar Cebu’s news and commentary program Beyond the Headlines on Sunday, March 10, 2024, pointed out that there are more than 40 agencies handling water matters and hundreds of water districts across the country, yet the volume of water flowing through the consumers’ faucets is limited.Agencies that handle water include the Bureau of Soils and Water Management, River Management, Flood Control Management, Local Water Utilities Administration, National Irrigation Administration and the National Wastewater Surveillance System, among others. She said water districts have been pushing for a rate increase, but the water is not flowing.“It’s time to look once again at systemic issues. Ang gulo talaga, eh,” said Marcos. The senator said she has a pending bill that is pushing the National Government to create one agency that will mandate the handling and use of water, or at least mandate the agencies to complement or assist each other.Marcos said previous chief executives had called for the creation of a Department of Water to streamline all agencies that handle water sector. “We really have to get our act together. Magulo (ang) maraming (Having so many agencies is chaotic) agencies, yet no water at all,” she said.Her plans were welcomed by Metropolitan Cebu Water District (MCWD) chairman Jose Daluz III, who agreed with the senator.Daluz, in a Viber message on Sunday, said it is high time for the National Government to prioritize and address issues involving water as the matter is no longer a local problem, but a global concern. “Lack of clean water will be (an) important issue that will impact the near future,” he said.In previous report of SunStar Cebu, Ronilo Balbeiran, a professor and an economist, said the El Niño phenomenon would be the country’s “biggest risk for 2024,” as extreme weather conditions could constrain the supply of rain-driven agricultural commodities that could lead to higher food prices and inflation. In February, the country’s El Niño Task Force reported that 41 provinces were affected by the El Niño, with 17 provinces experiencing dry conditions and 10 provinces experiencing dry spells. The other 14 provinces were experiencing drought. The weather bureau Pagasa Visayas reported last January that Cebu and 10 other provinces in the Visayas were feeling the effects of the El Niño. Pagasa Visayas chief Alfredo Quiblat Jr. said 10 of the 11 provinces in the Visayas were experiencing dry conditions. Only Negros Occidental in Western Visayas was under a dry spell. According to the Pagasa website, dry condition refers to two consecutive months of below normal rainfall conditions, or a drop of 21 percent to 60 percent, while dry spell refers to three consecutive months of below normal rainfall conditions, or a drop of 21 percent to 60 percent, or two months of way below normal rainfall, or a drop of more than 60 percent. A drought refers to five consecutive months of way below normal rainfall, or a drop of more than 60 percent. / JJL
