THE WATER supply of Metropolitan Cebu Water District (MCWD) has decreased due to the ongoing dry spell caused by the strong El Niño phenomenon.Tommy Gonzalez of the production department of MCWD said on Tuesday, March 5, 2024, that they have observed that the supply has been depleting since the last quarter of last year.MCWD is a primary water utility company, which serves the cities of Cebu, Mandaue, Talisay and Lapu-Lapu and the towns of Consolacion, Liloan, Compostela, and Cordova.He said they used to produce 301,000 cubic meters of water daily, but now they can only produce around 276,000 cubic meters per day.“We have consumers from the coverage area who are already complaining that their supposed 24-hour availability of water is now intermittent,” he said.He said the water needs of the entire Metro Cebu amount to 600,000 cubic meters per day, and they only provide 52 percent, or approximately 312,000 cubic meters.ClarificationHe clarified that MCWD does not serve everyone in the metro. Non-customers should not address their complaints to the water district, he said.Metro Cebu is made up of the cities of Carcar, Cebu, Danao, Lapu-Lapu, Mandaue, Naga and Talisay, and the towns of Compostela, Consolacion, Cordova, Liloan, Minglanilla and San Fernando.Gonzalez said MCWD currently acquires water from three distinct sources: desalinated seawater (10 percent), groundwater obtained from wells (50 percent), and surface water (40 percent), which encompasses both bulk water and sources owned by MCWD.He said the ongoing dry spell disproportionately affects the supply from surface water sources, which are directly exposed to the atmosphere and are therefore “more susceptible to the extensive heat.”Among its surface water sources are the Jaclupan wellfield in Talisay City, which normally produces 30,000 cubic meters, and the Buhisan Dam in Cebu City, which normally produces 5,000 cubic meters.However, he did not provide their current water output.Gonzalez said seawater can be a great source of supply since “seawater is limitless,” but he said it is expensive.However, he said they are currently capitalizing on establishing more desalination projects.On Dec. 28, 2022, MCWD signed a 25-year contract worth P20.7 billion for a joint venture with Pilipinas Water Resources Inc. and 8990 Housing Development Corp. to provide desalinated water.According to the contract, 10,000 cubic meters of water would be delivered daily in the first year, with the delivery increasing to 25,000 cubic meters per day for the remaining 24 years of the agreement.SunStar Cebu tried to contact Gonzalez for any updates on the water district’s water supply output, but he did not respond as of press time.Dry spellMeanwhile, Chief Alfredo “Al” Quiblat Jr. of the weather bureau Pagasa Visayas announced that Cebu is officially under a dry spell.A dry spell refers to three consecutive months of below-normal rainfall, or a drop of 21 percent to 60 percent, or two consecutive months of way below-normal rainfall, or a drop of more than 60 percent.According to records of the Cebu City Agriculture Department, 506 farmers out of the 10,719 registered farmers in the city’s 28 mountain barangays are already reeling from the effects of El Niño, with the extreme weather condition affecting 115 hectares of farmland.They suffer from lack of water which has damaged or destroyed some of their crops, said City Agriculturist Joelito Baclayon.“Nagproblema na sila, wala nitubo ilang mga tanom kay nagkulang na gyud and tubig. Ato silang gikuanan, gitagaan ug response dayon ug ato dayong gikuha ang posibile pud na may mga damages,” he said.(Some of their crops did not grow due to lack of water. We’ve already responded and collated the possible damage they have incurred.)The City Government has moved to implement mitigating measures to alleviate the plight of the affected farmers, which include a comprehensive barangay-to-barangay campaign and awareness caravan, rallying local communities and associations to identify and address pressing issues related to farming amid the El Niño.Baclayon said they have allocated P97 million in assistance but only for those who have suffered because of the El Niño.He said insured farmers can also file insurance claims.He said the City will also implement essential infrastructure projects like building mini-irrigations, and deploy power pumps, drums, hoses, as well as construct greenhouses to bolster agricultural resilience.Baclayon also highlighted the formation of three organizations that comprise approximately 97 mini-associations to streamline the distribution of resources and support across the 28 affected mountain barangays.“Importante kaayo na gi-organize namo sila kay they are the ones who would tell us asa gyud dapita within sa ilaha na area possibly naay enough na sufficiency nga kabutangan [where infrastructure projects will be implemented],” Baclayon said.(It was important to organize them since they are the ones who will tell us where infrastructure projects can be implemented to mitigate the effects of the El Niño,” he said in a mix of Cebuano and English. (KJF / Joshua Usigan, BIPSU Intern) Philippine Sports Commission National Sports Associations Philippines CONSUMERS have been urged to conserve energy amid the threat of low power supply yet high demand for electricity, which might result in rotational brownouts in some areas of Cebu Island. Michael Ligalig, the government relations and regional affairs lead specialist of the National Grid Corp. of the Philippines (NGCP) Cebu and Bohol area, told SunStar Cebu on Wednesday, April 17, 2024, that the transmission firm issued yellow alert warnings for the Visayas grid on Wednesday from 1 to 10 p.m. Based on their data, Ligalig said the Visayas grid was operating at a projected peak demand of 2,523 megawatts (MW) from the available capacity of 2,713 MW. He said that on Wednesday, 13 power plants and generating facilities shut down operations, while five others were running on derated capacities, or “a decrease in the available capacity of an electric generating unit.”“Kaning mga power plants kay nag-conduct ni sila og (These power plants were conducting) maintenance activities or wala na sila naghatag power nato (were not providing power) as of now. So, kaning gitawag nato nga (this thing that we call) derated capacities meaning ang ilang gi-supply kay (their supply is) not the expected capacity,” Ligalig said. “These facilities are located in various part of the Visayas,” he said. ExplanationA total of 698 MW was unavailable to the grid on Wednesday, he said, while he stressed that the NGCP has no control or jurisdiction over these power generating facilities. He explained that yellow alert is part of the warning system of the NGCP to inform distribution utilities and consumers of an insufficient operating margin. “Yellow alert is not something to worry about because we can still tap reserve power. What we’re worried about is a red alert. Even then, the NGCP has several contingencies to minimize rotational brownouts,” Ligalig said in a mix of Cebuano and English. He said there is no threat of rotational brownout under a yellow alert, as this only indicates that the power reserves are low. Therefore, he said the NGCP is urging consumers to reduce electricity consumption during yellow alerts. He said one of the reasons power consumption has gone up is the ongoing dry spell. He said more people are using cooling appliances to escape the heat. But in the case of a red alert, which is a more severe situation, Ligalig said the NGCP will advise distribution utilities to implement manual load dropping or rotational brownouts in specific neighborhoods or regions to avoid a total blackout when the system is under stress.He said a red alert was issued on the Visayas grid on Tuesday, April 16, from 5 to 9 p.m., but this was lifted at 9:01 p.m.The Visayan Electric Company, on Tuesday, advised its consumers through its Facebook page that there was a possibility of a rotational brownout due to the NGCP’s red alert warning. The power situation outlook for the Visayas on Thursday, April 18, is a potential available generating capacity of 2,533 MW with a projected system peak demand of 2,288 MW. / EHP

Michael Ligalig, the government relations and regional affairs lead specialist of the National Grid Corp. of the Philippines (NGCP) Cebu and Bohol area, told SunStar Cebu on Wednesday, April 17, 2024, that the transmission firm issued yellow alert warnings for the Visayas grid on Wednesday from 1 to 10 p.m. Based on their data, Ligalig said the Visayas grid was operating at a projected peak demand of 2,523 megawatts (MW) from the available capacity of 2,713 MW. He said that on Wednesday, 13 power plants and generating facilities shut down operations, while five others were running on derated capacities, or “a decrease in the available capacity of an electric generating unit.”“Kaning mga power plants kay nag-conduct ni sila og (These power plants were conducting) maintenance activities or wala na sila naghatag power nato (were not providing power) as of now. So, kaning gitawag nato nga (this thing that we call) derated capacities meaning ang ilang gi-supply kay (their supply is) not the expected capacity,” Ligalig said. “These facilities are located in various part of the Visayas,” he said. ExplanationA total of 698 MW was unavailable to the grid on Wednesday, he said, while he stressed that the NGCP has no control or jurisdiction over these power generating facilities. He explained that yellow alert is part of the warning system of the NGCP to inform distribution utilities and consumers of an insufficient operating margin. “Yellow alert is not something to worry about because we can still tap reserve power. What we’re worried about is a red alert. Even then, the NGCP has several contingencies to minimize rotational brownouts,” Ligalig said in a mix of Cebuano and English. He said there is no threat of rotational brownout under a yellow alert, as this only indicates that the power reserves are low. Therefore, he said the NGCP is urging consumers to reduce electricity consumption during yellow alerts. He said one of the reasons power consumption has gone up is the ongoing dry spell. He said more people are using cooling appliances to escape the heat. But in the case of a red alert, which is a more severe situation, Ligalig said the NGCP will advise distribution utilities to implement manual load dropping or rotational brownouts in specific neighborhoods or regions to avoid a total blackout when the system is under stress.He said a red alert was issued on the Visayas grid on Tuesday, April 16, from 5 to 9 p.m., but this was lifted at 9:01 p.m.The Visayan Electric Company, on Tuesday, advised its consumers through its Facebook page that there was a possibility of a rotational brownout due to the NGCP’s red alert warning. The power situation outlook for the Visayas on Thursday, April 18, is a potential available generating capacity of 2,533 MW with a projected system peak demand of 2,288 MW. / EHP licensed online casinos AS THE Holy Week concluded, Cebu Archbishop Jose Palma urged the Cebuano Catholic faithful to reflect on Jesus Christ’s sacrifice on the cross and become agents of peace and love toward others.The prelate delivered this message in a recorded video posted on the official Facebook page of the Archdiocese and shared with the members of the media on Saturday night, March 30, 2024, just hours before Easter Sunday, which commemorates Jesus’ triumph over death and his resurrection.“Atong paghinaot nga madasig kita sa pagbuhat sa kabubot-on sa atoang Ginoo nga naghigugma nato nga nagpakamatay apan na banhaw,” Palma said.(We hope that we may be encouraged to follow the will of the Lord who loves us, who dies for us but rose again.)Holy Week, locally known as “Semana Santa,” is a religious observance in the Christian calendar, honoring the concluding week of Jesus Christ’s life, including his crucifixion and resurrection.This year’s Holy Week celebration commenced with Palm Sunday on March 24 and concluded on Saturday, March 30.Palma said Christ’s resurrection from the dead brings hope and peace to humanity.He urged the faithful to reciprocate God’s love by showing compassion to others and becoming instruments of peace in the world.The prelate said the resurrection symbolizes hope and redemption, explaining that the stone sealing Christ’s tomb represents sin, and its rolling away symbolizes God’s grace taking over.In the New Testament, after Joseph of Arimathea buried Jesus in a tomb, he rolled a large stone in front of the entrance to seal it.However, when Mary Magdalene, a disciple of Jesus, and other women visited the tomb on the third day after Jesus’ crucifixion, they discovered the stone rolled away and the tomb empty, signifying Jesus’ resurrection.“Busa maglipay kita kay sa iyang pagkabanhaw, naangkon nato ang grasya sa bag-ong paglaom [ug] bag-ong kinabuhi,” he said.(So let us rejoice, for in his resurrection, we attain the grace of new hope and new life.)Palma also expressed his appreciation to the local parishes and partner groups in different towns and cities under the archdiocese for organizing Holy Week activities, such as religious processions. / KJF
