Philippines AS THE April 30 consolidation deadline looms, the Cebu-based traditional public utility jeepney (TPUJ) operators group has slammed the slow consolidation process under the Public Utility Vehicle (PUV) Modernization Program, saying operators should not be blamed for not making the deadline.On Tuesday, April 9, 2024, Pagkakaisa ng mga Samahan ng Tsuper at Opereytor Nationwide (Piston)-Cebu president Greg Perez told SunStar Cebu that he has some members who have applied for the mandatory franchise consolidation since 2019 who have remained in the “application process” under the system of the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board Central Visayas (LTFRB 7).Perez said these operators are in limbo, unable to tell what went wrong with their applications and who to blame for their situation.So is it the fault of the transport cooperative or the LTFRB, he asked. On Monday, April 8, LTFRB Chairman Teofilo Guadiz III called on jeepney operators and drivers to work on their consolidation into cooperatives before the April 30 deadline set by President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. passes, saying there will be no more extension of the deadline. “Nanulod sila og kooperatiba (sa) 2019 pa, pero ang problema kay naa lang gihapon sila nakasulod sa kooperatiba, pero wala pa sila ma-consolidate tungod nagtipun-og lang ang ilahang papel diha sa mga opisina sa cooperative,” Perez said. (They joined cooperatives in 2019 yet, but the problem is they are still in the cooperative, but they have not yet consolidated because the papers are just piling up in the office of the cooperatives.) He added that the Federation of Cebu Transport Cooperatives (FCTC) reported that it had consolidated 4,000 operators; however, upon their verification, they found the number to be only around 1,000. There were times the cooperatives asked for membership fees from the operators for them to be acknowledged as members and to be part of the consolidation, Perez said. “Problema kita sa pag-abot sa petsa (April) 30 sa atong mga operators nga dugay nang nisulod sa kooperatiba. Kinsay may pakisad-on ani? Ang operator pa ba gihapon sa panahon nga manakop na ang LTO (Land Transportation Office)? Ang LTFRB, ang operator ra gihapon nga wala nag-consolidate,” Perez said. (Our operators who have long joined cooperatives will have a problem when April 30 comes. Who will be considered at fault here? Will it still be the operator when the LTO begins making apprehensions? For the LTFRB, it will still be the operator, for not consolidating.)“Ang mga kooperatiba ug ang LTFRB man ang nalangay, ang nadugay. Mao unta toh gusto namo (ihangyo) nga ipagawas ang kamanduan ang LTFRB 7 nga dili panakpon ang mga nag-consolidate pa niadtong 2019 kay among tan-aw, dili sayop sa operator,” he added. (It’s the cooperatives and the LTFRB that have delayed things. That is why we wanted to request the release by LTFRB of an order not to apprehend those who attempted to consolidate since 2019 yet because the way we see it, it’s not the operators’ fault.)Once the April 30 deadline lapses, unconsolidated traditional jeepney operators will be designated as illegally operating their vehicles. Perez said there were times when these operators had to constantly follow up on and visit the offices of the cooperatives and the LTFRB 7, which forced the cooperatives and the LTFRB 7 to expedite the process, and yet many operators have not seen their consolidation, especially those who applied in 2019. He added that the LTFRB issued too late a memorandum allowing operators to withdraw their application from cooperatives with questionable processing time of application. Scrap modernizationOn the other hand, Perez said Piston-Cebu’s call remains, particularly for the government to scrap the PUV Modernization Program as it will eventually result in a total jeepney phaseout as they would be forced to give up their franchises and vehicles in exchange for buying what he called imported, expensive, non-sustainable and frail vehicles.The current modernization program must be replaced with a new program that is more responsive and balances the needs of the riding public and the transport sector, including the traditional PUJ operators and drivers.In a statement on Monday, LTFRB Chairman Guadiz said the agency would revoke the franchises of those who don’t meet the consolidation deadline.“We will revoke those franchises, and we will only be allowing those who have consolidated to ply the routes of Metro Manila,” Guadiz said in the statement.The Monday statement did not mention the routes outside Metro Manila and what would happen to operators who failed to meet the consolidation deadline in these parts.Last January, President Marcos extended the consolidation deadline for public utility vehicles to April 30.Under the PUV Modernization Program, the approval of the provisional authority for franchise is contingent upon jeepney drivers operating under a cooperative. The drivers would have to give up their individual franchises. A cooperative must have at least 10 members.It’s the eighth time that the consolidation deadline has been extended since 2017, Transportation Secretary Jaime Bautista said last January when the April 30 deadline was announced.At that time, only around 67 percent of PUVs, UV Express units, mini-buses and public utility buses in the country had undergone consolidation.

MANDATORY haircuts, denying the right to dress based on their perceived gender identity and expression, and making fun of LGBTQIA+ individuals in schools, companies and other institutions are punishable offenses, according to the proposed Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR) of Mandaue City's Anti-Discriminatory Ordinance for People of Diverse Sexual Orientation, Gender Identity and Gender Expression (Sogie). The acronym LGBTQIA+ stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, questioning, intersex and asexual, while the + is meant to include other gender and sexual identities as they emerge.The final review of the IRR was conducted on Tuesday, February 6, 2024, at the Mandaue City Session Hall, with representatives from the Department of Education, Mandaue City Police Office, Mandaue City Council's committee on women and family, Mandaue City Government, LGBT presidents of the city's 27 barangays and Mandaue-based LGBT groups.In December 2023, a write-shop was organized to create the IRR. The event was attended by department heads from different offices in Mandaue City as well as local LGBTQ+ groups, said Lester Ouano, project coordinator of the Kadangpan Project and the United Nations Development Program-Cebu United Rainbow LGBTIQ+ Sector (UNDP-Curls) Inc.Mandaue City Treasurer Regal Oliva, one of the leading figures in the City's Sogie ordinance, said Tuesday that once approved, the IRR would serve as a guide for LGBTQ+ members on the legal process they can take if their rights under the city's Sogie ordinance are violated."It can already be a document to guide to serve as a rudder for people of diverse Sogie in case their rights are violated in Mandaue City. Then, they know what to do, what office to go to, what procedures to take, and what method to step into. You don't need to have a Regal Oliva who has to do it for you (filing of cases)," said Oliva, a transgender woman. Oliva said it took a long time to craft the IRR since Mandaue's Sogie ordinance was approved in 2016 because it involved meticulous deliberation among stakeholders.The revised copy of the IRR will now be endorsed to the City Legal Office for approval. After approval, a copy of the IRR will be forwarded to the office of Mandaue City Mayor Jonas Cortes for signature and implementation.LGBTQ rightsThe IRR identifies 17 discriminatory acts that must be eliminated, such as those that would impinge on the LGBTQ+ community’s right to fair treatment in the areas of employment, education, accommodation and delivery of services.In education, the IRR protects LGBTQ+ students from unjust or onerous terms and conditions in schools. This includes prohibiting mandatory human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) testing, and imposing a mandatory haircut, particularly for male students, and use of compulsory uniforms that do not align with the student's gender expression. The IRR also prohibits schools from denying or limiting students' access to any educational benefits based on their actual or perceived sexual orientation, gender identity and expression (Sogie). It also prohibits schools from expelling or subjecting students to any penalty or detriment based on their actual or perceived Sogie. For employment, the IRR forbids denying or limiting the rights of training, recruitment, promotion, remuneration, and other terms and conditions of employment based on perceived or actual sexual orientation. It also prohibits denying or limiting opportunities for favorable terms and conditions of employment that afford employee advancement in all levels of government service and employment in Mandaue. Moreover, it prohibits excluding LGBTQ members from membership in labor unions or similar organizations.The law also prohibits mandatory HIV testing for LGBTQ employees and refusing employment to job applicants based on their perceived or actual sexual orientation, gender identity and expression.Additionally, the law prohibits denying LGBTQ individuals access to private and public establishments and their accommodations, such as facilities, utilities, transportation or services, including housing, that are open to the general public, based on their sexual orientation and gender identity/expression. All forms of abuse, particularly sexual harassment, are prohibited, including verbal and non-verbal ridicule and vilification that can lead to a loss or reduction of an individual's self-esteem. Examples include making fun of, contemptuously imitating, or mocking people with diverse sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, whether in writing, words or actions and uttering slanderous or abusive statements.BudgetThe IRR requires the Mandaue City Government to set aside a yearly budget of at least P1 million to combat discrimination and stigma against the LGBTQ community. The budget should cover several components, including capacity building and education campaigns, studies and a databank on hate crimes, discrimination and stigma, access to scholarships, skills, employment, and livelihood opportunities, affirmative acts in employment and education, and access to legal representation.Additionally, the IRR strongly suggests that the Mandaue City Police Office (MCPO) establish a task force to address specific concerns related to Sogie. This task force should be created through the existing Violence Against Women or VAWC/human rights desk in all police stations in Mandaue City. The MCPO should also develop a system to document and report cases of discrimination and violence against people of diverse Sogie and provide assistance to the victims. They should also ensure that barangay officials, barangay security or tanods, and other barangay workers, including volunteers, undergo training to enable them to respond to victims of gender discrimination and violence against people of diverse Sogie. The task force should also assist the victim in filing the appropriate complaint or report to other law enforcement agencies.The IRR also includes granting abused transgender women a barangay protection order to prevent abusers from harassing, annoying, telephoning, contacting, texting, or otherwise communicating directly and indirectly with them.Sogie ordinance The City Council of Mandaue passed a comprehensive LGBT code on Feb. 11, 2016. This code protects the rights of the LGBT community based on the Philippine Constitution's Bill of Rights, existing laws and international conventions. This landmark ordinance is the first in the country to be based on sexual orientation and gender identity or expression.Ordinance violators will face penalties such as a fine of P1,000, attending a Sogie seminar, conducting community service, and imprisonment for at least three months depending on the court's discretion for the first offense. For the second offense, violators will have to pay a fine of P3,000, attend a Sogie seminar, conduct community service, and face imprisonment of at least six months. Finally, for the third offense, violators must pay a fine of P5,000, attend a Sogie seminar, conduct community service, and face imprisonment of at least one year depending on the court's discretion.Reglyn Bihag, president of the LGBTQ Federation of Mandaue City, said the city has 27 LGBTQ organizations representing the 27 barangays of the city.Bihag said of the roughly 400,000 residents of Mandaue City, around 1,675 are members of the LGBTQ community.

AS THE April 30 consolidation deadline looms, the Cebu-based traditional public utility jeepney (TPUJ) operators group has slammed the slow consolidation process under the Public Utility Vehicle (PUV) Modernization Program, saying operators should not be blamed for not making the deadline.On Tuesday, April 9, 2024, Pagkakaisa ng mga Samahan ng Tsuper at Opereytor Nationwide (Piston)-Cebu president Greg Perez told SunStar Cebu that he has some members who have applied for the mandatory franchise consolidation since 2019 who have remained in the “application process” under the system of the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board Central Visayas (LTFRB 7).Perez said these operators are in limbo, unable to tell what went wrong with their applications and who to blame for their situation.So is it the fault of the transport cooperative or the LTFRB, he asked. On Monday, April 8, LTFRB Chairman Teofilo Guadiz III called on jeepney operators and drivers to work on their consolidation into cooperatives before the April 30 deadline set by President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. passes, saying there will be no more extension of the deadline. “Nanulod sila og kooperatiba (sa) 2019 pa, pero ang problema kay naa lang gihapon sila nakasulod sa kooperatiba, pero wala pa sila ma-consolidate tungod nagtipun-og lang ang ilahang papel diha sa mga opisina sa cooperative,” Perez said. (They joined cooperatives in 2019 yet, but the problem is they are still in the cooperative, but they have not yet consolidated because the papers are just piling up in the office of the cooperatives.) He added that the Federation of Cebu Transport Cooperatives (FCTC) reported that it had consolidated 4,000 operators; however, upon their verification, they found the number to be only around 1,000. There were times the cooperatives asked for membership fees from the operators for them to be acknowledged as members and to be part of the consolidation, Perez said. “Problema kita sa pag-abot sa petsa (April) 30 sa atong mga operators nga dugay nang nisulod sa kooperatiba. Kinsay may pakisad-on ani? Ang operator pa ba gihapon sa panahon nga manakop na ang LTO (Land Transportation Office)? Ang LTFRB, ang operator ra gihapon nga wala nag-consolidate,” Perez said. (Our operators who have long joined cooperatives will have a problem when April 30 comes. Who will be considered at fault here? Will it still be the operator when the LTO begins making apprehensions? For the LTFRB, it will still be the operator, for not consolidating.)“Ang mga kooperatiba ug ang LTFRB man ang nalangay, ang nadugay. Mao unta toh gusto namo (ihangyo) nga ipagawas ang kamanduan ang LTFRB 7 nga dili panakpon ang mga nag-consolidate pa niadtong 2019 kay among tan-aw, dili sayop sa operator,” he added. (It’s the cooperatives and the LTFRB that have delayed things. That is why we wanted to request the release by LTFRB of an order not to apprehend those who attempted to consolidate since 2019 yet because the way we see it, it’s not the operators’ fault.)Once the April 30 deadline lapses, unconsolidated traditional jeepney operators will be designated as illegally operating their vehicles. Perez said there were times when these operators had to constantly follow up on and visit the offices of the cooperatives and the LTFRB 7, which forced the cooperatives and the LTFRB 7 to expedite the process, and yet many operators have not seen their consolidation, especially those who applied in 2019. He added that the LTFRB issued too late a memorandum allowing operators to withdraw their application from cooperatives with questionable processing time of application. Scrap modernizationOn the other hand, Perez said Piston-Cebu’s call remains, particularly for the government to scrap the PUV Modernization Program as it will eventually result in a total jeepney phaseout as they would be forced to give up their franchises and vehicles in exchange for buying what he called imported, expensive, non-sustainable and frail vehicles.The current modernization program must be replaced with a new program that is more responsive and balances the needs of the riding public and the transport sector, including the traditional PUJ operators and drivers.In a statement on Monday, LTFRB Chairman Guadiz said the agency would revoke the franchises of those who don’t meet the consolidation deadline.“We will revoke those franchises, and we will only be allowing those who have consolidated to ply the routes of Metro Manila,” Guadiz said in the statement.The Monday statement did not mention the routes outside Metro Manila and what would happen to operators who failed to meet the consolidation deadline in these parts.Last January, President Marcos extended the consolidation deadline for public utility vehicles to April 30.Under the PUV Modernization Program, the approval of the provisional authority for franchise is contingent upon jeepney drivers operating under a cooperative. The drivers would have to give up their individual franchises. A cooperative must have at least 10 members.It’s the eighth time that the consolidation deadline has been extended since 2017, Transportation Secretary Jaime Bautista said last January when the April 30 deadline was announced.At that time, only around 67 percent of PUVs, UV Express units, mini-buses and public utility buses in the country had undergone consolidation. The three-month extension to April aims to raise those figures to 85 percent. / with CTL Is there a baseball league in the Philippines? .

THE proposed amending ordinance to the one-time cash gift for eligible senior citizens in Cebu City is now on its second reading and garnering favorable reception from the city council, a local legislator said.Cebu City Councilor Pastor “Jun” Alcover, senior citizens committee chairman and author of the proposed amendment to the City Ordinance 2235 or “An Ordinance Conferring the Centenary Senior Citizens’ Award to Qualified Senior Citizens on October of Each Year,” expressed confidence that final deliberation is imminent within the next couple of months.“Possibly mga three months from now atong matan-aw kung unsa nay decision pero tan-aw nako mga kasturya sa konsehal pabor man sila atong ipasakaan g’yud ang amendment,” said Alcover.(Possibly, about three months from now, we will see what decision will be made, but from what I see, most of the councilors seem to be in favor of passing the amendment.)After the second reading, it will undergo the third and final reading which will be signed by various officials for approval.Under the current ordinance, senior citizens are eligible to receive a one-time cash benefit of only P5,000 upon reaching their 80th year, an additional P15,000 upon reaching their 90th year, and the remaining P80,000 upon reaching 100, totaling P100,000.The amendments to the one-time cash gift distribution for centennial senior citizens will change the amount of the one-time cash benefit to P25,000 during a senior citizen’s 80th birthday, another P25,000 during his 90th birthday, and the remaining balance of P50,000 upon reaching 100 years old.Alcover said the process will take time as the council is currently reviewing other proposed ordinances and resolutions. However, he reiterated that the other councilors are supportive of the proposed amendments.He said the purpose of the ordinance is to help senior citizens who require financial aid for various expenses, including medication maintenance. Alcover said the senior citizens he has spoken with believe that the proposed changes will have a significant impact on their finances.Alcover said despite the Office of the Senior Citizens Affairs having a list of senior citizens, there are still those who have not yet registered due to the lack of awareness, especially since not all senior citizens are into social media and with some who are residing in far-flung barangays.Alcover said once the amendment is in effect, the senior citizen’s committee will conduct an information drive to inform senior citizens covered by the amended ordinance.“Atong i-reach out sila na malista g’yud sila para maka avail sila. So, atong paningkamutan g’yud na ma reach out nato uban mga seniors na wa kabalo,” said Alcover.(We will contact seniors who are not aware to ensure they are listed and can avail themselves of the benefits.) / RJM Who is the best soccer player in the Philippines? .

AS THE April 30 consolidation deadline looms, the Cebu-based traditional public utility jeepney (TPUJ) operators group has slammed the slow consolidation process under the Public Utility Vehicle (PUV) Modernization Program, saying operators should not be blamed for not making the deadline.On Tuesday, April 9, 2024, Pagkakaisa ng mga Samahan ng Tsuper at Opereytor Nationwide (Piston)-Cebu president Greg Perez told SunStar Cebu that he has some members who have applied for the mandatory franchise consolidation since 2019 who have remained in the “application process” under the system of the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board Central Visayas (LTFRB 7).Perez said these operators are in limbo, unable to tell what went wrong with their applications and who to blame for their situation.So is it the fault of the transport cooperative or the LTFRB, he asked. On Monday, April 8, LTFRB Chairman Teofilo Guadiz III called on jeepney operators and drivers to work on their consolidation into cooperatives before the April 30 deadline set by President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. passes, saying there will be no more extension of the deadline. “Nanulod sila og kooperatiba (sa) 2019 pa, pero ang problema kay naa lang gihapon sila nakasulod sa kooperatiba, pero wala pa sila ma-consolidate tungod nagtipun-og lang ang ilahang papel diha sa mga opisina sa cooperative,” Perez said. (They joined cooperatives in 2019 yet, but the problem is they are still in the cooperative, but they have not yet consolidated because the papers are just piling up in the office of the cooperatives.) He added that the Federation of Cebu Transport Cooperatives (FCTC) reported that it had consolidated 4,000 operators; however, upon their verification, they found the number to be only around 1,000. There were times the cooperatives asked for membership fees from the operators for them to be acknowledged as members and to be part of the consolidation, Perez said. “Problema kita sa pag-abot sa petsa (April) 30 sa atong mga operators nga dugay nang nisulod sa kooperatiba. Kinsay may pakisad-on ani? Ang operator pa ba gihapon sa panahon nga manakop na ang LTO (Land Transportation Office)? Ang LTFRB, ang operator ra gihapon nga wala nag-consolidate,” Perez said.

The acronym LGBTQIA+ stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, questioning, intersex and asexual, while the + is meant to include other gender and sexual identities as they emerge.The final review of the IRR was conducted on Tuesday, February 6, 2024, at the Mandaue City Session Hall, with representatives from the Department of Education, Mandaue City Police Office, Mandaue City Council's committee on women and family, Mandaue City Government, LGBT presidents of the city's 27 barangays and Mandaue-based LGBT groups.In December 2023, a write-shop was organized to create the IRR. The event was attended by department heads from different offices in Mandaue City as well as local LGBTQ+ groups, said Lester Ouano, project coordinator of the Kadangpan Project and the United Nations Development Program-Cebu United Rainbow LGBTIQ+ Sector (UNDP-Curls) Inc.Mandaue City Treasurer Regal Oliva, one of the leading figures in the City's Sogie ordinance, said Tuesday that once approved, the IRR would serve as a guide for LGBTQ+ members on the legal process they can take if their rights under the city's Sogie ordinance are violated."It can already be a document to guide to serve as a rudder for people of diverse Sogie in case their rights are violated in Mandaue City. Then, they know what to do, what office to go to, what procedures to take, and what method to step into. You don't need to have a Regal Oliva who has to do it for you (filing of cases)," said Oliva, a transgender woman. Oliva said it took a long time to craft the IRR since Mandaue's Sogie ordinance was approved in 2016 because it involved meticulous deliberation among stakeholders.The revised copy of the IRR will now be endorsed to the City Legal Office for approval. After approval, a copy of the IRR will be forwarded to the office of Mandaue City Mayor Jonas Cortes for signature and implementation.LGBTQ rightsThe IRR identifies 17 discriminatory acts that must be eliminated, such as those that would impinge on the LGBTQ+ community’s right to fair treatment in the areas of employment, education, accommodation and delivery of services.In education, the IRR protects LGBTQ+ students from unjust or onerous terms and conditions in schools. This includes prohibiting mandatory human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) testing, and imposing a mandatory haircut, particularly for male students, and use of compulsory uniforms that do not align with the student's gender expression. The IRR also prohibits schools from denying or limiting students' access to any educational benefits based on their actual or perceived sexual orientation, gender identity and expression (Sogie). It also prohibits schools from expelling or subjecting students to any penalty or detriment based on their actual or perceived Sogie. For employment, the IRR forbids denying or limiting the rights of training, recruitment, promotion, remuneration, and other terms and conditions of employment based on perceived or actual sexual orientation. It also prohibits denying or limiting opportunities for favorable terms and conditions of employment that afford employee advancement in all levels of government service and employment in Mandaue. Moreover, it prohibits excluding LGBTQ members from membership in labor unions or similar organizations.The law also prohibits mandatory HIV testing for LGBTQ employees and refusing employment to job applicants based on their perceived or actual sexual orientation, gender identity and expression.Additionally, the law prohibits denying LGBTQ individuals access to private and public establishments and their accommodations, such as facilities, utilities, transportation or services, including housing, that are open to the general public, based on their sexual orientation and gender identity/expression. All forms of abuse, particularly sexual harassment, are prohibited, including verbal and non-verbal ridicule and vilification that can lead to a loss or reduction of an individual's self-esteem. Examples include making fun of, contemptuously imitating, or mocking people with diverse sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, whether in writing, words or actions and uttering slanderous or abusive statements.BudgetThe IRR requires the Mandaue City Government to set aside a yearly budget of at least P1 million to combat discrimination and stigma against the LGBTQ community. The budget should cover several components, including capacity building and education campaigns, studies and a databank on hate crimes, discrimination and stigma, access to scholarships, skills, employment, and livelihood opportunities, affirmative acts in employment and education, and access to legal representation.Additionally, the IRR strongly suggests that the Mandaue City Police Office (MCPO) establish a task force to address specific concerns related to Sogie. This task force should be created through the existing Violence Against Women or VAWC/human rights desk in all police stations in Mandaue City. The MCPO should also develop a system to document and report cases of discrimination and violence against people of diverse Sogie and provide assistance to the victims. They should also ensure that barangay officials, barangay security or tanods, and other barangay workers, including volunteers, undergo training to enable them to respond to victims of gender discrimination and violence against people of diverse Sogie. The task force should also assist the victim in filing the appropriate complaint or report to other law enforcement agencies.The IRR also includes granting abused transgender women a barangay protection order to prevent abusers from harassing, annoying, telephoning, contacting, texting, or otherwise communicating directly and indirectly with them.Sogie ordinance The City Council of Mandaue passed a comprehensive LGBT code on Feb. 11, 2016. This code protects the rights of the LGBT community based on the Philippine Constitution's Bill of Rights, existing laws and international conventions. This landmark ordinance is the first in the country to be based on sexual orientation and gender identity or expression.Ordinance violators will face penalties such as a fine of P1,000, attending a Sogie seminar, conducting community service, and imprisonment for at least three months depending on the court's discretion for the first offense. For the second offense, violators will have to pay a fine of P3,000, attend a Sogie seminar, conduct community service, and face imprisonment of at least six months. Finally, for the third offense, violators must pay a fine of P5,000, attend a Sogie seminar, conduct community service, and face imprisonment of at least one year depending on the court's discretion.Reglyn Bihag, president of the LGBTQ Federation of Mandaue City, said the city has 27 LGBTQ organizations representing the 27 barangays of the city.Bihag said of the roughly 400,000 residents of Mandaue City, around 1,675 are members of the LGBTQ community.
