NEWLY appointed Philippine National Police (PNP) chief General Rommel Marbil has warned policemen against using cell phones for recreational purposes while on duty.In his first press conference on Tuesday, April 2, 2024, Marbil said that instead of using their cellphones, policemen must focus on performing their duties, especially in preventing and responding to crimes and ensuring peace and order in their areas of jurisdiction.“This is my first and last warning, no cellphone during duties. We need patrol, pagka na huli ka namin nag-cellphone, there will be no forgiveness. Very strict kami diyan. Gusto namin duty, duty, kapag patrol, patrol. Andito ‘yung mga commanders natin. I need beat patrols, gusto ko maramdaman ng tao ‘yung mga pulis natin sa baba,” he said.(This is my first and last warning, no cell phones during duties.

I need beat patrols, I want people to feel the presence of our police officers on the ground.)He, however, acknowledges that cell phones are the primary mode of communication on the ground.“You know, if you look at the tao naman na masyado naman matagal, hindi na siguro (nakikipag-communicate) yun. I caught many people mga policemen natin when I was regional director. Hindi naman ho nag-cell phone yan, may tawag.

Discernment, ano ang ginagawa niyo during that time,” said Marbil.(You know, if you look at the people who take too long, maybe they're not communicating. I caught many of our policemen when I was regional director. They're not necessarily on their phone; they might be receiving a call. If we see them watching, you know they're just on Facebook or watching a video, so we have discernment for you. We don't just catch and throw right away.

(TPM/SunStar Philippines) What time slots are available DFA? Philippines NOT only has the farm production in Cebu City’s mountain barangays dropped, some farmers have been forced to stop planting as El Niño continues to dry up water sources.That was the situation described by some barangay officials and farmer association leaders.The City Council placed 28 barangays under a state of calamity due to the ongoing extreme weather condition during its session on Wednesday, March 27, 2024.These included Barangays Budlaan, Binaliw, Paril, Taptap, Pulangbato, Mabini, Malubog, Agsungot, Guba, Lusaran, Adlaon, Cambinocot, Pamutan, Sirao, Sapangdaku, Toong, Buhisan, Pung-ol Sibugay, Babag, Sudlon 1, Sudlon 2, Bonbon, Sinsin, Kalunasan, Buot, Tagbao, Busay and Tabunan, according to City Agriculturist Joelito Baclayon in an earlier interview.Alliance of Cebu City Farmers Association president Casimero Pilones said some members decided not to cultivate their farms because of the lack of water.“Gamay na lang ang farmers nga naa karoy tanom kay wala nay ikabubo (There are only a few farmers left who still have crops because there is no more water to irrigate them),” said Pilones in a text message to SunStar Cebu on Sunday, March 31.In the last week of February, the weather bureau Pagasa declared Cebu under a dry spell. A month later, Pagasa announced that Cebu was undergoing drought.Malubog Barangay Captain Dennis Dabuco said farmers in his barangay chose to save their remaining seeds and wait for the rainy season.Pagasa announced on March 7 that the El Niño Southern Oscillation may return to neutral conditions during the second quarter of the year or from April to June.Pagasa also said it is monitoring an increasing probability of La Niña to develop from June to August.Dabuco said the farmers’ major concern is the lack of water.Cambinocot Barangay Captain Reynaldo Lauron said several farmers in his barangay have also stopped farming since they have been losing income.Cambinocot has one of the largest farm lands in the city.Lauron, however, was not able to provide the number of farmers who temporarily stopped farming.Pilones said farm production has dropped around 80 percent since February.He said farmers used to harvest 1,000 kilos of eggplants before El Niño, but now they can barely harvest 200 kilos.Lauron said the same is being experienced in their barangay.“Wala na nakatubo ang mga tanom ug ang kasagaran nangamatay (the crops no longer grow and most of them have died),” he said.Cebu City Farmer Federation president Elecio Cantano, in a separate interview on Sunday, said members of their group have no choice but to continue growing crops despite the extreme weather condition.Cantano’s group is composed of farmers from Adlaon. Barangay Adlaon has the most number of farmers registered in the City Agriculture Department with close to 1,000 farmers.Although their produce has declined, the farmers have shifted to planting heat-resistant crops like okra, corn and cauliflower.Lauron said the Metropolitan Cebu Water District (MCWD) has deployed a mobile siphon tank (MST) in their barangay to get clean water from the river.In Malubog, Dabuco said they are coordinating with the MCWD for the distribution of water in the barangay.The declaration of the state of calamity means barangays can now use their quick response fund, said City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office head Harold Alcontin in a previous interview.This also means the City can use its local disaster risk reduction and management fund (LDRRMF) to address the problem.However, the council deferred the approval of the annual investment plan for the LDRRMF amounting to P96.94 million, saying there is a need to discuss the budget further.Of the P96.94 million requested by the executive department, P80 million is intended for agriculture expenditures like purchase of seeds, fertilizers and pesticides, supplies, tools and equipment, and the conduct of an information campaign. Lauron, for his part, said they have to rely on the City Government for assistance since they don’t have funds to help farmers.On Tuesday, March 26, state meteorologist Jhomer Eclarino of the weather bureau Pagasa warned the public that the heat index in Cebu in the coming months may reach the “dangerous” 51 degrees Celsius level.A heat index that ranges from 42 to 51 degrees Celsius is dangerous because it can cause heat cramps and exhaustion, while prolonged exposure may even lead to a heat stroke, he said. The heat index or “feels-like” temperature combines air temperature and humidity to indicate how hot the weather feels to the human body.Eclarino attributed the rise in the heat index to the drought caused by the El Niño as well as the ongoing dry hot summer.“We declared officially the start of warm, dry season or what we call ‘tag-init (summer) sa Pilipinas.’ At the same time we are also monitoring the ongoing El Niño phenomenon... thus, we can feel more the intense heat,” he said.Pagasa declared the end of the northeast monsoon, also known as amihan, last March 22, signaling the beginning of the summer season.The Philippines experiences only two seasons: dry and wet. Despite the absence of a specific summer season, Filipinos commonly refer to the dry season as such.He said that based on historical data, Cebu always experiences the highest temperatures in May. Eclarino said that on May 31, 2010, which was also during an El Niño, the province recorded its highest surface temperature of 39 degrees Celsius and a heat index of 49 degrees Celsius.He said Cebu and nine other provinces in the Visayas are currently experiencing a drought. The other provinces are Antique, Biliran, Eastern Samar, Guimaras, Iloilo, Leyte, Negros Oriental, Negros Occidental and Samar. Although El Niño has transitioned from a strong and mature state to a moderate one, he said its effects will still be felt in the next two months.He said drought is classified as an extended dry condition, either with five consecutive months of below-normal rainfall or three months of significantly below-normal rainfall.Pagasa previously defined below-normal rainfall as 20 to 60 percent less than the usual amount, while way-below-normal rainfall indicates more than a 60 percent decrease from the norm.Dr. Eugenia Mercedes Cañal, regional epidemiologist of Department of Health 7, advised the public to observe safety measures amid the intensive heat.She urged the public to avoid going outdoors between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., wear sunscreen when going outside and always hydrate with water.Eclarino also forecast calm weather for the Visayas region from the last week of March through the first week of April.He said they don’t expect any typhoon or low-pressure area to enter the Philippine Area of Responsibility during this period.“That is good news that we are typhoon-free or tropical cyclone-free in the (next) two weeks,” he said. / JJL, KJF

BALTIMORE -- A container ship lost power and rammed into a major bridge in Baltimore early Tuesday, March 26, 2024, causing it to snap and plunge into the river below. Several vehicles fell into the chilly waters, and rescuers searched for survivors.The operators of the ship issued a mayday call moments before the crash that took down the Francis Scott Key Bridge, enabling authorities to limit vehicle traffic on the span, Maryland’s governor said.The ship crashed into one of the bridge’s supports, causing the structure to break apart like a toy. It tumbled into the water in a matter of seconds — a shocking spectacle that was captured on video and posted on social media. The vessel caught fire, and thick, black smoke billowed out of it.The crash happened long before the busy morning commute in what one official called a “developing mass casualty event.” Two people were rescued, and officials said six people were still unaccounted for. All were believed to be those working on the bridge when it collapsed.“Never would you think that you would see, physically see, the Key Bridge tumble down like that. It looked like something out of an action movie,” said Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott, calling it “an unthinkable tragedy.”Authorities said a crew of unknown size was working on the bridge at the time of the collapse and that sonar had detected cars in the water, which is about 50 feet (15 meters) deep. The water temperature was about 47 degrees Fahrenheit (8 degrees Celsius) before dawn Tuesday, according to a buoy that collects data for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.Earlier, Kevin Cartwright, director of communications for the Baltimore Fire Department, told The Associated Press that several vehicles were on the bridge at the time of the collapse, including one the size of a tractor-trailer truck. The bridge came down in the middle of night when traffic would be lighter than during the day when thousands of cars traverse the span.Cartwright called the collapse a “developing mass casualty event,” though he didn't know at the time how many people were affected.Synergy Marine Group — which manages the ship, called the Dali — confirmed the vessel hit a pillar of the bridge at about 1:30 a.m. while in control of one or more pilots, who are local specialists who help navigate vessels safely into ports. The ship is owned by Grace Ocean Private Ltd.It said all crew members, including the two pilots on board, were accounted for and there were no reports of any injuries.As the sun rose Tuesday, jagged remnants of the bridge were illuminated jutting up from the waters surface. The on-ramp ended abruptly where the span once began.Cartwright said that some cargo appeared to be dangling from the bridge, which spans the Patapsco River at the entrance to a busy harbor. The river leads to the Port of Baltimore, a major hub for shipping on the East Coast. Opened in 1977, the bridge is named for the writer of “The Star-Spangled Banner.”Maryland Transportation Secretary Paul Wiedefeld said all vessel traffic into and out of the port would be suspended until further notice, though the facility was still open to trucks.Governor Wes Moore declared a state of emergency and said he was working to get federal resources deployed. The FBI was on the scene, but said there was no credible information to suggest terrorism. President Joe Biden was briefed.The Dali was headed from Baltimore to Colombo, Sri Lanka, and flying under a Singapore flag, according to data from Marine Traffic. The container ship is about 985 feet (300 meters) long and about 157 feet (48 meters) wide, according to the website.Danish shipping giant Maersk said it had chartered the vessel, which was carrying its customers’ cargo. No Maersk crew and personnel were on board. The collapse caused Maersk share at the Nasdaq Copenhagen to plummet two percent in early Tuesday trading.In 2001, a freight train carrying hazardous materials derailed in a tunnel in downtown Baltimore and caught fire, spewing black smoke into surrounding neighborhoods and forcing officials to temporarily close all major roads into the city.

NOT only has the farm production in Cebu City’s mountain barangays dropped, some farmers have been forced to stop planting as El Niño continues to dry up water sources.That was the situation described by some barangay officials and farmer association leaders.The City Council placed 28 barangays under a state of calamity due to the ongoing extreme weather condition during its session on Wednesday, March 27, 2024.These included Barangays Budlaan, Binaliw, Paril, Taptap, Pulangbato, Mabini, Malubog, Agsungot, Guba, Lusaran, Adlaon, Cambinocot, Pamutan, Sirao, Sapangdaku, Toong, Buhisan, Pung-ol Sibugay, Babag, Sudlon 1, Sudlon 2, Bonbon, Sinsin, Kalunasan, Buot, Tagbao, Busay and Tabunan, according to City Agriculturist Joelito Baclayon in an earlier interview.Alliance of Cebu City Farmers Association president Casimero Pilones said some members decided not to cultivate their farms because of the lack of water.“Gamay na lang ang farmers nga naa karoy tanom kay wala nay ikabubo (There are only a few farmers left who still have crops because there is no more water to irrigate them),” said Pilones in a text message to SunStar Cebu on Sunday, March 31.In the last week of February, the weather bureau Pagasa declared Cebu under a dry spell. A month later, Pagasa announced that Cebu was undergoing drought.Malubog Barangay Captain Dennis Dabuco said farmers in his barangay chose to save their remaining seeds and wait for the rainy season.Pagasa announced on March 7 that the El Niño Southern Oscillation may return to neutral conditions during the second quarter of the year or from April to June.Pagasa also said it is monitoring an increasing probability of La Niña to develop from June to August.Dabuco said the farmers’ major concern is the lack of water.Cambinocot Barangay Captain Reynaldo Lauron said several farmers in his barangay have also stopped farming since they have been losing income.Cambinocot has one of the largest farm lands in the city.Lauron, however, was not able to provide the number of farmers who temporarily stopped farming.Pilones said farm production has dropped around 80 percent since February.He said farmers used to harvest 1,000 kilos of eggplants before El Niño, but now they can barely harvest 200 kilos.Lauron said the same is being experienced in their barangay.“Wala na nakatubo ang mga tanom ug ang kasagaran nangamatay (the crops no longer grow and most of them have died),” he said.Cebu City Farmer Federation president Elecio Cantano, in a separate interview on Sunday, said members of their group have no choice but to continue growing crops despite the extreme weather condition.Cantano’s group is composed of farmers from Adlaon. Barangay Adlaon has the most number of farmers registered in the City Agriculture Department with close to 1,000 farmers.Although their produce has declined, the farmers have shifted to planting heat-resistant crops like okra, corn and cauliflower.Lauron said the Metropolitan Cebu Water District (MCWD) has deployed a mobile siphon tank (MST) in their barangay to get clean water from the river.In Malubog, Dabuco said they are coordinating with the MCWD for the distribution of water in the barangay.The declaration of the state of calamity means barangays can now use their quick response fund, said City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office head Harold Alcontin in a previous interview.This also means the City can use its local disaster risk reduction and management fund (LDRRMF) to address the problem.However, the council deferred the approval of the annual investment plan for the LDRRMF amounting to P96.94 million, saying there is a need to discuss the budget further.Of the P96.94 million requested by the executive department, P80 million is intended for agriculture expenditures like purchase of seeds, fertilizers and pesticides, supplies, tools and equipment, and the conduct of an information campaign. Lauron, for his part, said they have to rely on the City Government for assistance since they don’t have funds to help farmers.On Tuesday, March 26, state meteorologist Jhomer Eclarino of the weather bureau Pagasa warned the public that the heat index in Cebu in the coming months may reach the “dangerous” 51 degrees Celsius level.A heat index that ranges from 42 to 51 degrees Celsius is dangerous because it can cause heat cramps and exhaustion, while prolonged exposure may even lead to a heat stroke, he said. The heat index or “feels-like” temperature combines air temperature and humidity to indicate how hot the weather feels to the human body.Eclarino attributed the rise in the heat index to the drought caused by the El Niño as well as the ongoing dry hot summer.“We declared officially the start of warm, dry season or what we call ‘tag-init (summer) sa Pilipinas.’ At the same time we are also monitoring the ongoing El Niño phenomenon... thus, we can feel more the intense heat,” he said.Pagasa declared the end of the northeast monsoon, also known as amihan, last March 22, signaling the beginning of the summer season.The Philippines experiences only two seasons: dry and wet. Despite the absence of a specific summer season, Filipinos commonly refer to the dry season as such.He said that based on historical data, Cebu always experiences the highest temperatures in May. Eclarino said that on May 31, 2010, which was also during an El Niño, the province recorded its highest surface temperature of 39 degrees Celsius and a heat index of 49 degrees Celsius.He said Cebu and nine other provinces in the Visayas are currently experiencing a drought. The other provinces are Antique, Biliran, Eastern Samar, Guimaras, Iloilo, Leyte, Negros Oriental, Negros Occidental and Samar. Although El Niño has transitioned from a strong and mature state to a moderate one, he said its effects will still be felt in the next two months.He said drought is classified as an extended dry condition, either with five consecutive months of below-normal rainfall or three months of significantly below-normal rainfall.Pagasa previously defined below-normal rainfall as 20 to 60 percent less than the usual amount, while way-below-normal rainfall indicates more than a 60 percent decrease from the norm.Dr. Eugenia Mercedes Cañal, regional epidemiologist of Department of Health 7, advised the public to observe safety measures amid the intensive heat.She urged the public to avoid going outdoors between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., wear sunscreen when going outside and always hydrate with water.Eclarino also forecast calm weather for the Visayas region from the last week of March through the first week of April.He said they don’t expect any typhoon or low-pressure area to enter the Philippine Area of Responsibility during this period.“That is good news that we are typhoon-free or tropical cyclone-free in the (next) two weeks,” he said. / JJL, KJF What time slots are available DFA? .

NEWLY appointed Philippine National Police (PNP) chief General Rommel Marbil has warned policemen against using cell phones for recreational purposes while on duty.In his first press conference on Tuesday, April 2, 2024, Marbil said that instead of using their cellphones, policemen must focus on performing their duties, especially in preventing and responding to crimes and ensuring peace and order in their areas of jurisdiction.“This is my first and last warning, no cellphone during duties. We need patrol, pagka na huli ka namin nag-cellphone, there will be no forgiveness. Very strict kami diyan. Gusto namin duty, duty, kapag patrol, patrol. Andito ‘yung mga commanders natin. I need beat patrols, gusto ko maramdaman ng tao ‘yung mga pulis natin sa baba,” he said.(This is my first and last warning, no cell phones during duties.

Several vehicles fell into the chilly waters, and rescuers searched for survivors.The operators of the ship issued a mayday call moments before the crash that took down the Francis Scott Key Bridge, enabling authorities to limit vehicle traffic on the span, Maryland’s governor said.The ship crashed into one of the bridge’s supports, causing the structure to break apart like a toy. It tumbled into the water in a matter of seconds — a shocking spectacle that was captured on video and posted on social media. The vessel caught fire, and thick, black smoke billowed out of it.The crash happened long before the busy morning commute in what one official called a “developing mass casualty event.” Two people were rescued, and officials said six people were still unaccounted for. All were believed to be those working on the bridge when it collapsed.“Never would you think that you would see, physically see, the Key Bridge tumble down like that. It looked like something out of an action movie,” said Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott, calling it “an unthinkable tragedy.”Authorities said a crew of unknown size was working on the bridge at the time of the collapse and that sonar had detected cars in the water, which is about 50 feet (15 meters) deep. The water temperature was about 47 degrees Fahrenheit (8 degrees Celsius) before dawn Tuesday, according to a buoy that collects data for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.Earlier, Kevin Cartwright, director of communications for the Baltimore Fire Department, told The Associated Press that several vehicles were on the bridge at the time of the collapse, including one the size of a tractor-trailer truck. The bridge came down in the middle of night when traffic would be lighter than during the day when thousands of cars traverse the span.Cartwright called the collapse a “developing mass casualty event,” though he didn't know at the time how many people were affected.Synergy Marine Group — which manages the ship, called the Dali — confirmed the vessel hit a pillar of the bridge at about 1:30 a.m. while in control of one or more pilots, who are local specialists who help navigate vessels safely into ports. The ship is owned by Grace Ocean Private Ltd.It said all crew members, including the two pilots on board, were accounted for and there were no reports of any injuries.As the sun rose Tuesday, jagged remnants of the bridge were illuminated jutting up from the waters surface. The on-ramp ended abruptly where the span once began.Cartwright said that some cargo appeared to be dangling from the bridge, which spans the Patapsco River at the entrance to a busy harbor. The river leads to the Port of Baltimore, a major hub for shipping on the East Coast. Opened in 1977, the bridge is named for the writer of “The Star-Spangled Banner.”Maryland Transportation Secretary Paul Wiedefeld said all vessel traffic into and out of the port would be suspended until further notice, though the facility was still open to trucks.Governor Wes Moore declared a state of emergency and said he was working to get federal resources deployed. The FBI was on the scene, but said there was no credible information to suggest terrorism. President Joe Biden was briefed.The Dali was headed from Baltimore to Colombo, Sri Lanka, and flying under a Singapore flag, according to data from Marine Traffic. The container ship is about 985 feet (300 meters) long and about 157 feet (48 meters) wide, according to the website.Danish shipping giant Maersk said it had chartered the vessel, which was carrying its customers’ cargo. No Maersk crew and personnel were on board. The collapse caused Maersk share at the Nasdaq Copenhagen to plummet two percent in early Tuesday trading.In 2001, a freight train carrying hazardous materials derailed in a tunnel in downtown Baltimore and caught fire, spewing black smoke into surrounding neighborhoods and forcing officials to temporarily close all major roads into the city.
