Chan said the council has already approved the proposal and the projects are scheduled to start in the first quarter of 2025. The proposed budget will fund four component projects for the city. These projects are asset preservation, which includes initiatives to preserve or enhance building structure or building system’s integrity; national road network development; flood management; and convergence and special support programs.The convergence and special support component covers 83 projects and a budget of P3.807 billion; 37 of these projects will involve improvements to military bases, including the Benito Ebuen Air Base and the headquarters of the Naval Forces Central. Developmental projectsThe remaining 46 projects will focus on developmental projects, particularly within Lapu-Lapu’s island barangays. These include the construction of multi-purpose buildings, six roads with drainage facilities, six causeways, four road rehabilitation and construction, two sewage treatment plants in barangays Buaya and Poblacion, a bridge connecting project for barangays Pangan-an and Sabang, a pedestrian overpass in Barangay Gun-ob, a drainage system along Calawisan Road to complement the flood management program, a seawall on the island of Caubian and completion of Phase 3 of a school building in Calawisan.Next is the national road network development component, which has a budget of P1.330 billion for its five projects. These projects cover road-widening along Mactan Circumferential Road, road widening along Mactan-Airport Road, road widening on Opon Airport Road, tri-level interchange and off-carriageway improvement along Mactan Circumferential Road.Flood managementThe flood management component has a budget of P150 million, while the asset preservation component has the lowest allocation, at P97.5 million. This component is mostly for preventive maintenance, such as asphalt overlay in four locations, including along Mactan Circumferential Road, asphalt overlay on Marcelo Fernan Bridge approaches and construction of drainage along Mactan Circumferential Road. / HIC with PR Online Casino Philippines Philippines THE Commission on Elections (Comelec) has committed grave abuse of discretion when it ordered the disqualification of Smartmatic-TIM Corporation and Smartmatic Philippines Inc. from joining the bidding for the automated election system (AES) for the upcoming 2025 midterm elections, the Supreme Court (SC) ruled.The SC En Banc unanimously approved on Tuesday, April 16, 2024, the granting of Petition for Certiorari filed by the said firm that seeks to reverse the Comelec resolution issued in November 29, 2023 preventing them from participating in any public bidding for elections. The SC En Banc said the poll body gravely abused its discretion when it disqualified Smartmatic even before the firm submitted any bid, without any reference to the eligibility requirements prescribed by its Bids and Awards Committee.It said the Comelec implemented a discretionary pre-qualification regime antithetical to the Government Procurement and Reform Act.However, the SC said ruling shows no sufficient basis to nullify the public bidding and the P17.9-billion contract that the Comelec signed last month with South Korea’s Miru Systems Co. Ltd. for the provision of vote-counting machines for the upcoming elections, noting considerations of equity, justice, practicality, and the doctrine of operative fact.“However, the Court recognized that to require the Comelec to conduct another round of public bidding would seriously disrupt its preparations for the 2025 National and Local Elections (NLE) and potentially jeopardize the very conduct of the NLE. Accordingly, the Court ruled that its Decision will be prospective in application,” the SC said in a statement.In a press conference, SC spokesperson lawyer Camille Ting said Smartmatic may now participate in the bidding for AES for the next election.The Comelec issued the resolution in November 2023 due to allegations of bribery against former Comelec chairperson Andy Bautista, who allegedly accepted grease money in exchange for awarding a contract for election machines to Smartmatic Corp.In an interview with reporters, Comelec spokesperson Rex Laudiangco said they respect the decision of the high court and is ready whatever result it may bring.

Gambling in the Philippines 2023 – the Latest Trends

THE Commission on Elections (Comelec) has committed grave abuse of discretion when it ordered the disqualification of Smartmatic-TIM Corporation and Smartmatic Philippines Inc. from joining the bidding for the automated election system (AES) for the upcoming 2025 midterm elections, the Supreme Court (SC) ruled.The SC En Banc unanimously approved on Tuesday, April 16, 2024, the granting of Petition for Certiorari filed by the said firm that seeks to reverse the Comelec resolution issued in November 29, 2023 preventing them from participating in any public bidding for elections. The SC En Banc said the poll body gravely abused its discretion when it disqualified Smartmatic even before the firm submitted any bid, without any reference to the eligibility requirements prescribed by its Bids and Awards Committee.It said the Comelec implemented a discretionary pre-qualification regime antithetical to the Government Procurement and Reform Act.However, the SC said ruling shows no sufficient basis to nullify the public bidding and the P17.9-billion contract that the Comelec signed last month with South Korea’s Miru Systems Co. Ltd. for the provision of vote-counting machines for the upcoming elections, noting considerations of equity, justice, practicality, and the doctrine of operative fact.“However, the Court recognized that to require the Comelec to conduct another round of public bidding would seriously disrupt its preparations for the 2025 National and Local Elections (NLE) and potentially jeopardize the very conduct of the NLE. Accordingly, the Court ruled that its Decision will be prospective in application,” the SC said in a statement.In a press conference, SC spokesperson lawyer Camille Ting said Smartmatic may now participate in the bidding for AES for the next election.The Comelec issued the resolution in November 2023 due to allegations of bribery against former Comelec chairperson Andy Bautista, who allegedly accepted grease money in exchange for awarding a contract for election machines to Smartmatic Corp.In an interview with reporters, Comelec spokesperson Rex Laudiangco said they respect the decision of the high court and is ready whatever result it may bring.
