SOME employees of the Metropolitan Cebu Water District (MCWD) have criticized general manager Edgar Donoso for his failure to address the non-revenue water (NRW) problem of the water district. “Donoso’s focus on expanding water supply without a comprehensive plan to address NRW demonstrates a lack of understanding of our true priorities,” according to anonymous employees in a letter sent to SunStar Cebu on Monday, April 1, 2024.The anonymous employees alleged that despite Donoso’s openness to suggestions, the water district’s problem with NRW remains unaddressed. They also criticized MCWD for failing to deliver a viable solution despite being aware of the impending effects of the El Niño weather phenomenon.NRW refers to the water produced and lost before reaching consumers. It can occur through physical losses due to leaks and damaged pipes; it also includes free water that the MCWD provides for firefighting purposes.To recall, the Commission on Audit in its 2021 report flagged MCWD for its NRW reaching 29.04 percent, which is over the acceptable maximum rate of only 20 percent.In previous statements, MCWD officials attributed the high NRW in 2021 to the impacts of Typhoon Odette (international name: Rai).MCWD officials said the water district had to deliver water to areas lacking water supply after the calamity. There were also instances where pipelines were damaged by heavy equipment used for drainage projects by various local government units.The anonymous employees, however, alleged that the NRW rates of MCWD had failed to see any significant improvement.Underlying motivesThe anonymous employees said the Pipelines and Appurtenances Maintenance Department and the Non-Revenue Division have been offering solutions to the NRW problem; however, Donoso allegedly favors supply-centric approaches.“Employees are left questioning the underlying motives behind these decisions. If Donoso’s leadership is indeed grounded in public service, why are areas such as Mambaling, Cebu City and Opao, Mandaue City still without running water, despite desalination projects initiated last year?” reads a portion of the letter.The employees said Donoso’s alleged failure to hold suppliers accountable for delays only exacerbates the problem.“Unity within MCWD remains elusive when decision-making power is concentrated in the hands of a select few. With over 800 employees, it is unacceptable for a single individual to dictate the fate of the entire water district,” the employees added.Bankruptcy The anonymous employees also doubted Donoso’s warnings of bankruptcy and privatization under the Local Water Utilities Administration (LWUA) and while they acknowledge Donoso’s skill in managing the water district’s finances during the Covid-19 pandemic, they worry that his focus on desalination instead of fixing NRW issues could harm the water district’s long-term viability.Effective March 15, LWUA assumed control of the MCWD board, suspending the board led by Jose Daluz III, for six months. This is to investigate the issues surrounding the water district, including its high NRW rate.SunStar Cebu tried to get the side of Donoso, but the general manager, through MCWD spokesperson Minerva Gerodias on April 1, said he would answer the allegations in due time, possibly within the week.Daluz has questioned LWUA’s authority to take over the MCWD board, and Donoso has sought the Office of the Government Corporate Counsel’s (OGCC) opinion on this. Last March 21, LWUA Chairman Ronnie Ong said LWUA and MCWD would wait for the OGCC’s opinion. / WBS What season is baseball played in the Dominican Republic? 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. She believed her children were asleep. / AML

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.
