(AP Photo)Karol G made Grammy history Sunday by becoming the first female performer to win best música urbana album for her blockbuster “Mañana Será Bonito” record.“This is my first time at the Grammys,” she told the audience in English. “And this is my first time holding my own Grammy.”Performances were many. Olivia Rodrigo brought her bloodsucking ballad “vampire” – or in this case, bloodletting, as red liquid dripped from the walls behind her. Joni Mitchell, 80, made Grammy history by performing “Both Sides Now” from her 1969 album “Clouds”; Travis Scott did a medley of “My Eyes,” “I Know?” and “Fein.” Burna Boy was joined by Brandy and 21 Savage and did “On Form,” “City Boys,” and “Sittin’ on Top of the World."A long and touching In Memoriam segment celebrated many of the musical greats lost in the year. Stevie Wonder performed “For Once in My Life” and “The Best Is Yet To Come” in honor of Tony Bennett; Annie Lennox delivered “Nothing Compares 2 U” for Sinéad O’Connor. “Artists for ceasefire, peace in the world,” Lennox said at the end of the song, her fist extended in the air.Jon Batiste did a medley of “Ain’t No Sunshine,” “Lean On Me,” and finally “Optimistic” with Ann Nesby for the late great music exec Clarence Avant. Oprah introduced a fiery Tina Turner tribute of “Proud Mary” by Fantasia Barrino and Adam Blackstone.SZA also took the stage – performing a medley of her larger-than-life hits “Snooze” and “Kill Bill," joined by dancers wielding katanas. Later, she'd take home the trophy for best R&B song — for “Snooze,” handed to her by Lizzo. SZA ran to the stage and gave a charming, out of breath speech because she was “changing, and then I took a shot,” before starting to tear up and saying, “Hi Taylor... I'm not an attractive crier. Have a good evening.”Mariah Carey presented the night's first award, for best pop solo performance, to Miley Cyrus for “Flowers." It was also the singer's first ever Grammy.Afterward, Luke Combs’ delivered a heartfelt rendition of “Fast Car” with Tracy Chapman – his cover of the Chapman classic has dominated country radio and won him song of the year at the 2023 CMAs. In 1989, Chapman won best pop vocal performance, female for the song.Dua Lipa opened the show with a high-octane medley: first, a tease of her forthcoming single, “Training Season,” then, her most recent single, “Houdini," and finally, her disco-pop “Barbie” hit “Dance the Night."Eilish and Finneas brought their “Barbie” ballad to the Grammys stage with live string accompaniment, the second of two songs from the blockbuster film in one hour. They were followed by Cyrus, who performed “Flowers” for the first time live on television – moments after receiving her first ever Grammy.“Why are you acting like you don't know this song?” she teased the crowd — John Legend and wife Chrissy Teigen were among those in the audience who got up to dance — and later cheered mid-song, “I just won my first Grammy!”Four-time Grammy host — and two time nominee — Trevor Noah greeted an excited crowd, starting things off with a kiss on the cheek from Meryl Streep. “The Grammys are gonna win as Oscar,” he joked about the moment.Best country album went to Lainey Wilson for “Bell Bottom Country,” — her very first Grammy — as presented by Kacey Musgraves. “I’m a fifth-generation farmer’s daughter,” she told the crowd, adding that she’s a “songwriting farmer,” and that’s where the musical magic came from.Jay-Z was awarded the Dr. Dre Global Impact Award and used his speech to talk about the hip-hop greats that came before him – and heavily suggesting at the Grammys history of placing rap on the backburner – or at the very least, not in the televised version of the show. (This year, there were no rap categories on screen, but two pop, one Latin, one country and one R&B.)“We want you all to get it right,” he said. “At least get it close to right,” before switching focus to Beyoncé. “Most Grammys, never won album fo the year. How does that work?”Bridgers took an early lead at the Grammys, quickly winning four trophies ahead of the main telecast, with her and her boygenius bandmates bringing an infectious energy to the Premiere Ceremony.Songwriter Justin Tranter gave her the first award Sunday, best pop duo/group performance, which went to SZA and Bridgers for “Ghost in the Machine."Jack Antonoff took home producer of the year, non-classical for a third year in a row, tying Babyface as the only other producer to do so consecutively. “You need the door kicked open for you,” he said in his acceptance speech. “Taylor Swift kicked that (expletive) door open for me," referencing their work together.The first of three new categories in 2024, best pop dance recording, was given out shortly afterward and went to Kylie Minogue for “Padam Padam" — her first win in 18 years.About 80 Grammys were handed out pre-broadcast. Regional Mexican star Peso Pluma won his first Grammy for his first and only nomination, for best música Mexicana album for his “Genesis.”Best African music performance, a new category which aims to highlight regional musical traditions and recognizing “recordings that utilize unique local expressions from across the African continent,” went to South African singer Tyla for her ubiquitous hit, “Water.”“I never thought I’d say I won a Grammy at 21 years old,” she said in her acceptance speech. “Last year God decided to change my whole life.”Killer Mike won three awards in quick succession Sunday night, but somehow ended up in police custody before the main Grammys ceremony began. Police spokesperson Officer Mike Lopez said Mike being detained stemmed from an altercation inside the arena around 4 p.m.The rapper won his first first Grammy in 21 years, for best best rap performance went to Killer Mike Featuring André 3000, Future and Eryn Allen Kane for “Scientists & Engineers.” Soon afterward, they won for “best rap song.” Killer Mike also took home best rap album for “Michael,” cheering, “It is a sweep! It is a sweep!” (AP) Best Online Casino Bonus Deals in the Philippines Philippines CEBU City Mayor Michael Rama has urged the Cebu Provincial Government officials to stop meddling in the Cebu City's Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) project.This came after the Cebu Provincial Board (PB) approved a resolution calling for the stoppage of BRT construction during its regular session on Monday, March 4, 2024.PB wants CBRT project haltedRama, according to Cebu City PIO on Tuesday, March 5, asked the Capitol officials "to show due courtesy" to the City and that they should focus on problems within their territorial jurisdiction.“Kung dili mo moundang sa panghilabot, ang ending ana gubot (If you don't stop interfering, the ending will be messy),” said Rama.The PB adopted the resolution pushed by Sixth District Board Member Glenn Soco, Fifth District Board Member and committee on infrastructure and public works chairman Red Duterte, and Third District Board Member John Ismael Borgonia, recommending the stoppage of the CBRT in Cebu City "due to its contribution to the worsening traffic condition, thereby causing great inconvenience to the people of Cebu and causing negative economic effects to the entire people of Cebu."In his privilege speech, Soco questioned CBRT's feasibility due to the proponent’s failure to provide details on the operation of the mass transport system project, such as the type of buses to use, who will be the operator, and the potential fare.Imbong remains as CBRT project manager, says DOTrDuterte, who also chairs the tourism committee, said he received reports and concerns that tourists on their way to the south experienced heavy traffic due to the CBRT project, which runs through two major thoroughfares.Borgonia said they are in unison with the recent call of the Cebu City Council to suspend the CBRT project. But Borgonia’s question as to “why now” (why only a year after the groundbreaking did the council object to the project) remains addressed to the Cebu City Council.Last February 27, Cebu Governor Gwendolyn Garcia also issued Memorandum 16-2024 ordering the contractor, Hunan Road and Bridge Construction Group Ltd., to immediately stop the construction of the bus station in front of the Capitol building along Osmeña Blvd.Garcia, in the memorandum, said the project’s proponents lacked the necessary authorization from the National Historical Commission of the Philippines (NHCP).The governor's call was also echoed by his nephew, Cebu City Vice Mayor Raymond Alvin Garcia, through a privilege speech he delivered last February 28, requesting the Office of the Building Official to issue a cease and desist order against Hunan Road and Bridge Construction Group Ltd. for its building of bus stations on Osmeña Blvd., for the threat it posed on the integrity of the city’s heritage and culture.Rama said he has no problem with the PB members' resolutions, but he wonders how the provincial officials would feel if he closes the roads leading to the Capitol.“Iyahay lang ta’g tan-aw sa atong porma. Pero, usahay, kanang gahum mosu’d na gani sa atong utok, wala na ang maayong pagpamatasan,” said Rama. (JJL)

LOCAL transport group Pagkakaisa ng mga Samahan ng Tsuper at Opereytor Nationwide (Piston) Cebu is standing firm in its decision not to seek a fare increase.Gregory Perez, chairperson of the 500-member group, said that burdening consumers with higher fares is not the solution to the current challenges, particularly high fuel prices.In an interview on Tuesday, April 16, 2024, Perez reiterated the need for a more comprehensive approach that does not adversely affect commuters.Perez emphasized that implementing a minimum fare increase in public transportation amid the prevailing economic situation would only inflate prices of prime commodities and goods.“We are not keen on pushing for a fare increase because we know it will affect our passengers and, of course, the prices of prime commodities,” he said in Cebuano, adding that students would be directly hurt if a hike was implemented.Push for P2 hikeLast week, the Alliance of Transport Operators and Drivers Association of the Philippines (Altodap), a group of traditional jeepney drivers, sought answers regarding the fare increase petition it had submitted. The group urged the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) to promptly address its petition due to increasing pump prices. The group advocated for a P2 increase in the minimum fare of traditional jeepneys, proposing to raise it from P13 to P15.Boy Vargas, Altodap president, said the LTFRB had informed them that their petition is under consideration. However, the franchising agency has yet to issue a decision on the matter.LTFRB spokesperson Celine Pialago, in a media interview, confirmed that the agency is currently conducting a thorough study of the petition to evaluate the proposed fare increase.Oil price hikeOil firms announced last Monday, April 15, a price hike that took effect on Tuesday, April 16. Pilipinas Shell, Cleanfuel, and Seaoil revealed increases of P0.95 per liter for diesel, P0.40 per liter for gasoline, and P0.85 per liter for kerosene. Unsuitable Perez cautioned against the proposed fare hike, deeming it unsuitable and warning that it might initiate a “domino effect,” leading to price increases in various sectors of the local economy. He said that when public utility vehicle drivers raise their minimum fare to offset rising fuel costs, these additional expenses are indirectly passed on to consumers.“Yes, if we talk about fare increases, there is a domino effect. It will bring higher prices for goods, like our basic goods,” he said.Perez said scrapping the Oil Deregulation Law and suspending both value-added and excise taxes on oil remain the most effective ways to halt fuel price hikes. He argued that government inaction and deregulation policies, particularly the law, are the main causes of the surging prices.Downstream Oil Industry Deregulation ActDuring President Fidel Ramos’s administration, Republic Act 8479, or the Downstream Oil Industry Deregulation Act of 1998, empowered market forces to set the prices of gasoline and other petroleum-based products for consumers. This law also deprived the Department of Energy of its authority to intervene in the domestic oil market. / KJF

(JJL) licensed online casinos LOCAL transport group Pagkakaisa ng mga Samahan ng Tsuper at Opereytor Nationwide (Piston) Cebu is standing firm in its decision not to seek a fare increase.Gregory Perez, chairperson of the 500-member group, said that burdening consumers with higher fares is not the solution to the current challenges, particularly high fuel prices.In an interview on Tuesday, April 16, 2024, Perez reiterated the need for a more comprehensive approach that does not adversely affect commuters.Perez emphasized that implementing a minimum fare increase in public transportation amid the prevailing economic situation would only inflate prices of prime commodities and goods.“We are not keen on pushing for a fare increase because we know it will affect our passengers and, of course, the prices of prime commodities,” he said in Cebuano, adding that students would be directly hurt if a hike was implemented.Push for P2 hikeLast week, the Alliance of Transport Operators and Drivers Association of the Philippines (Altodap), a group of traditional jeepney drivers, sought answers regarding the fare increase petition it had submitted. The group urged the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) to promptly address its petition due to increasing pump prices. The group advocated for a P2 increase in the minimum fare of traditional jeepneys, proposing to raise it from P13 to P15.Boy Vargas, Altodap president, said the LTFRB had informed them that their petition is under consideration. However, the franchising agency has yet to issue a decision on the matter.LTFRB spokesperson Celine Pialago, in a media interview, confirmed that the agency is currently conducting a thorough study of the petition to evaluate the proposed fare increase.Oil price hikeOil firms announced last Monday, April 15, a price hike that took effect on Tuesday, April 16. Pilipinas Shell, Cleanfuel, and Seaoil revealed increases of P0.95 per liter for diesel, P0.40 per liter for gasoline, and P0.85 per liter for kerosene. Unsuitable Perez cautioned against the proposed fare hike, deeming it unsuitable and warning that it might initiate a “domino effect,” leading to price increases in various sectors of the local economy. He said that when public utility vehicle drivers raise their minimum fare to offset rising fuel costs, these additional expenses are indirectly passed on to consumers.“Yes, if we talk about fare increases, there is a domino effect. It will bring higher prices for goods, like our basic goods,” he said.Perez said scrapping the Oil Deregulation Law and suspending both value-added and excise taxes on oil remain the most effective ways to halt fuel price hikes. He argued that government inaction and deregulation policies, particularly the law, are the main causes of the surging prices.Downstream Oil Industry Deregulation ActDuring President Fidel Ramos’s administration, Republic Act 8479, or the Downstream Oil Industry Deregulation Act of 1998, empowered market forces to set the prices of gasoline and other petroleum-based products for consumers. This law also deprived the Department of Energy of its authority to intervene in the domestic oil market. / KJF
