WHAT would you do if you were in a tragic situation? Most people would prioritize saving themselves and their loved ones, but Ryan Conson was different.Conson, a 38-year-old volunteer firefighter from Barangay Looc, Mandaue City, fearlessly ran through blazing houses and pavements to put out the fire in Sitio Under the Bridge, located underneath the Mactan-Mandaue Bridge (also known as the first bridge) on Tuesday, March 12, 2024.He was one of the first responders who rushed to the site of the fire, prioritizing the safety of the entire community over his own.Peaceful lunchAt the Looc Gym on Thursday, March 14, Conson spoke to the media about his experience during the Tuesday fire. On Tuesday afternoon, enjoying a quiet lunch at home, Conson suddenly noticed black smoke in a nearby area. Conson wasted no time in rushing to their fire truck at the Barangay Hall to investigate the black smoke.“Padung mi didtos nasunogan, dayon nag set up mi direcho. Mao nang dagan kos sulod, nitira ko dayon. Di na gyud namo matabang kay dako na kaayo ang kayo, unya kusog na kaayo ang hangin sad. Hapit pa gani among fire truck nasunog,” said Conson.(On the way to the area affected by the fire, we set up quickly. I ran inside the fire zone and trained my fire hose on the fire immediately. Unfortunately, the fire had already become too large and the wind was too strong. Our fire truck even almost caught fire.)Despite the danger, Conson and his team bravely attempted to extinguish the fire, but it quickly spiraled out of their control.Home lost As the situation worsened, Conson quickly ran back home and handed his family, especially his child, to his siblings for safety. Afterward, he returned to his firefighting duties.After a few minutes, Conson faced the worst experience a firefighter could ever go through. While he was busy saving other houses from the flames, he lost his house.Conson narrated the heartbreaking moment when he had to battle the fire to prevent it from engulfing his home of 20 years.But his composure never faltered in fighting the fire. This time, he was not only saving his community but also neighboring areas from losing their homes with the fire getting more aggressive, just like he was. More than 500 families were eventually displaced by the fire after it burned 370 houses.Rise of a heroConson has a day job working as a staff member at a motorboat port near his residence in addition to his job as a volunteer firefighter. He said the fire incident that occurred in Sitio Paradise, also in Barangay Looc, on Nov. 22, 2022, which was close to his neighborhood, inspired him to join the firefighting brigade in his barangay.The Paradise fire destroyed about 600 homes, displacing 2,737 individuals, making it one of the largest fire incidents in Cebu in 2022.“I volunteered because I really wanted to help people,” said Conson. He then trained in firefighting techniques at the Bureau of Fire Protection Mandaue Office. Conson works as a volunteer firefighter and receives an honorarium of P3,500 a month. He is on call for two shifts, day or night, and promptly responds to any fire incident, even those outside his barangay when the help of their fire brigade is required.For him, his small salary does not matter as he finds happiness in saving people in fire incidents.His most memorable assignment was the fire last Tuesday. Conson is now one of the 515 families affected by the fire who have found temporary refuge at the Looc Gymnasium. The Mandaue City Government is currently hosting evacuees at the gymnasium and nearby Cesar Cabahug Elementary School.Sadly, Conson and his family were unable to save any of their belongings and only escaped the fire with their lives.The first-degree burns on his left arm, which he did not notice until the fire was successfully extinguished, was the only souvenir of his heroic deed and Sitio Under the Bridge’s tragic fate.While waiting for help from the government and other individuals, Conson’s patriotic heart remains, as he chooses to still be a volunteer firefighter despite his experience.“This is a new chapter of my life, but I will continue to help other people. I have been a volunteer firefighter for a year now,” he said in Cebuano. The Gaming and Casino Industry in the Philippines Philippines CEBU and 10 other provinces in Visayas are feeling the effects of the ongoing El Niño phenomenon, according to the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) Visayas.As of January 2024, 10 of the 11 provinces were experiencing dry conditions, with only one province undergoing a dry spell, said Pagasa Visayas Chief Alfredo “Al” Quiblat Jr.Areas under dry conditions included Cebu and Negros Oriental in Central Visayas; Antique, Capiz, Guimaras, and Iloilo in Western Visayas; and Biliran, Eastern Samar, Leyte, and Samar in Eastern Visayas.Negros Occidental in Western Visayas was the only province experiencing a dry spell.Visayas comprises three regions: Western Visayas (six provinces), Central Visayas (four provinces), and Eastern Visayas (six provinces).According to Pagasa, El Niño leads to elevated sea-surface temperatures, influencing global weather patterns by causing shifts in precipitation, temperature, and atmospheric circulation, ultimately resulting in reduced rainfall. Reports suggest that decreased rainfall in provinces can devastate agriculture, leading to crop failures and economic losses due to water scarcity for irrigation.Quiblat predicted on Wednesday, Feb. 15, that the ongoing phenomenon will persist throughout this month and extend into May.ExplanationQuiblat explained that a place is categorized as having a dry condition if it experiences below-normal rainfall for two consecutive months. A dry spell is characterized by three successive months of below-normal rainfall.“This is the actual record we have based on the actual recorded rainfall measured,” Quiblat said in Cebuano.The good news, though, is that there is no province in Visayas that is experiencing drought, according to Quiblat.Drought occurs when there is an extended dry condition, marked by either five consecutive months of below-normal rainfall or three consecutive months of way below-normal rainfall.Pagasa Visayas did not provide the specific measurement of rainfall in the 11 provinces.Quiblat said that more provinces will be affected by the ongoing El Niño phenomenon at the end of the month, adding that the status of the 10 provinces under dry conditions will be upgraded to a dry spell, while Negros Occidental will be under drought.The Pagasa Visayas chief further said three new provinces will be classified, including Bohol and Siquijor in Central Visayas, and Southern Leyte in Eastern Visayas, under dry conditions.AgricultureKeith Monteroso, overseeing the project monitoring of the National Irrigation Administration in Cebu, said last Jan. 30 that they have identified non-vulnerable areas for optimizing water resources.“As part of our measures, we have identified vulnerable areas. We assume zero rainfall, so we have targeted areas where crops will not be planted to mitigate potential damages,” he said.He did not divulge the specifics of these areas prone to the threat of El Niño; however, he said that in 12,000 hectares of farming land in the region, almost half of it, or 6,500 hectares, were not allowed to be used for planting.Monteroso added that they have advised farmers to adjust their cropping calendars. Typically, the dry and wet seasons start in May and November, respectively. However, due to the threat of El Niño, they have adjusted to February and September as the start of these seasons.He said there have not been any significant crop damages in Central Visayas.To aid farmers whose land was not utilized in farming, Monteroso said they enrolled the farmers in different programs of other government agencies, including the Department of Labor and Employment, for cash-for-work programs.Meanwhile, in response to the impacts of El Niño, the Department of Agriculture (DA) 7 has ramped up its annual budget for 2024 to P2.7 billion, marking a 28.5 percent increase from last year’s P2.1 billion allocation.Leo Pelletero, a project evaluation officer at DA 7, said that besides addressing the repercussions of the climatic phenomenon, the augmented budget aims to enhance agricultural production output in the region.Cobra sightingsShelbay Blanco of the Department of Health 7 health emergency management services said that the ongoing El Niño has resulted in a surge in the number of snake sightings, particularly of the king cobra, locally called banakon in Cebu.Earlier, he said that cobras, due to their heightened sensitivity to temperature variations, might venture beyond their typical habitats during periods of increased heat.He added that extreme warmth may prompt these cold-blooded snakes to seek out alternative environments with cooler or more favorable temperatures.

HOLY Week is essentially a time for reflection and prayer over pursuits for leisure, Cebu Archbishop Jose Palma said in his homily during the Palm Sunday mass at the Cebu Metropolitan Cathedral on March 24, 2024. He encouraged the Cebuano Catholic faithful to prioritize the solemnity of the occasion rather than indulging in leisure outings.“Dunay pipila nalipay kon Semana Santa kay maghunahuna pag-ekskursyon sa kung asa man nga dapit, pero kung pwede lang atoang panahon ihatag lang sa Ginoo kay daghan mahinungdanon nga misteryo sa atong pagtuo. Mao gitawag og Holy Week kay mao magdala kanato pagtubo sa kinabuhing Kristohanon, sa pagkabalaan,” he said.(Some find joy in planning excursions to various places during Holy Week, but if only we could dedicate this time solely to the Lord, as there are many significant mysteries in our faith to contemplate during Holy Week, which leads us to grow in our Christian life, in holiness.) Start of Holy WeekPalm Sunday signifies the start of Holy Week, also known as Semana Santa, a significant religious observance in the Christian calendar that commemorates the final week of Jesus Christ’s life, his crucifixion, and his resurrection.This year, the Catholic celebration began on March 24 and will end on Saturday, March 30.Palma urged Cebuano faithful to gather in churches this week, stressing the importance of congregating to deepen their connection with God and understand Christ’s sacrifice.“Akong punto, kung duna kita’y panahon sa laing butang, unta duna kitay panahon sa pamalandong sa mga pulong sa Ginoo,” he said.(My point is, if we have time for other things, I hope we also have time to reflect on the words of the Lord.)Meanwhile, Police Lt. Col. Gerard Ace Pelare, spokesperson of the Police Regional Office Central Visayas, in a forum on Wednesday, March 20, urged families planning travels or outings to observe precautionary security measures.Pelare advised households to designate a security overseer or install closed-circuit television cameras to monitor activities at home while most are away. He also suggested ensuring vehicle maintenance to prevent engine failure during travel and noting police numbers at destinations for emergency reporting.Pelare stressed the importance of having readily available emergency hotline numbers, including those for the police, ambulances, and the Department of Health. / KJF

CEBU and 10 other provinces in Visayas are feeling the effects of the ongoing El Niño phenomenon, according to the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) Visayas.As of January 2024, 10 of the 11 provinces were experiencing dry conditions, with only one province undergoing a dry spell, said Pagasa Visayas Chief Alfredo “Al” Quiblat Jr.Areas under dry conditions included Cebu and Negros Oriental in Central Visayas; Antique, Capiz, Guimaras, and Iloilo in Western Visayas; and Biliran, Eastern Samar, Leyte, and Samar in Eastern Visayas.Negros Occidental in Western Visayas was the only province experiencing a dry spell.Visayas comprises three regions: Western Visayas (six provinces), Central Visayas (four provinces), and Eastern Visayas (six provinces).According to Pagasa, El Niño leads to elevated sea-surface temperatures, influencing global weather patterns by causing shifts in precipitation, temperature, and atmospheric circulation, ultimately resulting in reduced rainfall. Reports suggest that decreased rainfall in provinces can devastate agriculture, leading to crop failures and economic losses due to water scarcity for irrigation.Quiblat predicted on Wednesday, Feb. 15, that the ongoing phenomenon will persist throughout this month and extend into May.ExplanationQuiblat explained that a place is categorized as having a dry condition if it experiences below-normal rainfall for two consecutive months. A dry spell is characterized by three successive months of below-normal rainfall.“This is the actual record we have based on the actual recorded rainfall measured,” Quiblat said in Cebuano.The good news, though, is that there is no province in Visayas that is experiencing drought, according to Quiblat.Drought occurs when there is an extended dry condition, marked by either five consecutive months of below-normal rainfall or three consecutive months of way below-normal rainfall.Pagasa Visayas did not provide the specific measurement of rainfall in the 11 provinces.Quiblat said that more provinces will be affected by the ongoing El Niño phenomenon at the end of the month, adding that the status of the 10 provinces under dry conditions will be upgraded to a dry spell, while Negros Occidental will be under drought.The Pagasa Visayas chief further said three new provinces will be classified, including Bohol and Siquijor in Central Visayas, and Southern Leyte in Eastern Visayas, under dry conditions.AgricultureKeith Monteroso, overseeing the project monitoring of the National Irrigation Administration in Cebu, said last Jan. 30 that they have identified non-vulnerable areas for optimizing water resources.“As part of our measures, we have identified vulnerable areas. We assume zero rainfall, so we have targeted areas where crops will not be planted to mitigate potential damages,” he said.He did not divulge the specifics of these areas prone to the threat of El Niño; however, he said that in 12,000 hectares of farming land in the region, almost half of it, or 6,500 hectares, were not allowed to be used for planting.Monteroso added that they have advised farmers to adjust their cropping calendars. Typically, the dry and wet seasons start in May and November, respectively. However, due to the threat of El Niño, they have adjusted to February and September as the start of these seasons.He said there have not been any significant crop damages in Central Visayas.To aid farmers whose land was not utilized in farming, Monteroso said they enrolled the farmers in different programs of other government agencies, including the Department of Labor and Employment, for cash-for-work programs.Meanwhile, in response to the impacts of El Niño, the Department of Agriculture (DA) 7 has ramped up its annual budget for 2024 to P2.7 billion, marking a 28.5 percent increase from last year’s P2.1 billion allocation.Leo Pelletero, a project evaluation officer at DA 7, said that besides addressing the repercussions of the climatic phenomenon, the augmented budget aims to enhance agricultural production output in the region.Cobra sightingsShelbay Blanco of the Department of Health 7 health emergency management services said that the ongoing El Niño has resulted in a surge in the number of snake sightings, particularly of the king cobra, locally called banakon in Cebu.Earlier, he said that cobras, due to their heightened sensitivity to temperature variations, might venture beyond their typical habitats during periods of increased heat.He added that extreme warmth may prompt these cold-blooded snakes to seek out alternative environments with cooler or more favorable temperatures. licensed online casinos HOLY Week is essentially a time for reflection and prayer over pursuits for leisure, Cebu Archbishop Jose Palma said in his homily during the Palm Sunday mass at the Cebu Metropolitan Cathedral on March 24, 2024. He encouraged the Cebuano Catholic faithful to prioritize the solemnity of the occasion rather than indulging in leisure outings.“Dunay pipila nalipay kon Semana Santa kay maghunahuna pag-ekskursyon sa kung asa man nga dapit, pero kung pwede lang atoang panahon ihatag lang sa Ginoo kay daghan mahinungdanon nga misteryo sa atong pagtuo. Mao gitawag og Holy Week kay mao magdala kanato pagtubo sa kinabuhing Kristohanon, sa pagkabalaan,” he said.(Some find joy in planning excursions to various places during Holy Week, but if only we could dedicate this time solely to the Lord, as there are many significant mysteries in our faith to contemplate during Holy Week, which leads us to grow in our Christian life, in holiness.) Start of Holy WeekPalm Sunday signifies the start of Holy Week, also known as Semana Santa, a significant religious observance in the Christian calendar that commemorates the final week of Jesus Christ’s life, his crucifixion, and his resurrection.This year, the Catholic celebration began on March 24 and will end on Saturday, March 30.Palma urged Cebuano faithful to gather in churches this week, stressing the importance of congregating to deepen their connection with God and understand Christ’s sacrifice.“Akong punto, kung duna kita’y panahon sa laing butang, unta duna kitay panahon sa pamalandong sa mga pulong sa Ginoo,” he said.(My point is, if we have time for other things, I hope we also have time to reflect on the words of the Lord.)Meanwhile, Police Lt. Col. Gerard Ace Pelare, spokesperson of the Police Regional Office Central Visayas, in a forum on Wednesday, March 20, urged families planning travels or outings to observe precautionary security measures.Pelare advised households to designate a security overseer or install closed-circuit television cameras to monitor activities at home while most are away. He also suggested ensuring vehicle maintenance to prevent engine failure during travel and noting police numbers at destinations for emergency reporting.Pelare stressed the importance of having readily available emergency hotline numbers, including those for the police, ambulances, and the Department of Health. / KJF
