THE acting general manager of the Metropolitan Cebu Water District (MCWD) will work with the Local Water Utilities Administration (LWUA) while it is investigating high non-revenue water (NRW) and other issues at the water district.John Dx Lapid, MCWD division manager for customer care, said he will also formulate measures to alleviate the effects of the El Niño phenomenon during his tenure.In a phone interview on Saturday, April 13, Lapid told SunStar Cebu that the LWUA’s interim board informed him on Friday, April 12, about his temporary appointment following the 90-day preventive suspension of general manager Edgar Donoso. The LWUA suspended Donoso on Friday because he continued to defy the interim board’s request to turn over documents regarding the MCWD’s transactions and he failed to respond to a five-day notice to explain his decision. Lapid said the MCWD will provide the LWUA with whatever it needs in its investigation.“They are asking for signed contracts, pending projects, mga COA (Commission on Audit) disallowance, so mao ni ang ilahang gipangayo nga documents (those are the documents they are asking for),” Lapid said. “By Monday, I will be meeting the managers, the rank-and-file, and (I) will assure them that there will be no vacuum of power that will happen. Rest assured with our consumers that our services will remain. Walay mausab (Nothing will change),” he said.The interim board has requested for police to be deployed at the MCWD office in downtown Cebu City to prohibit suspended Donoso and regular board of directors chairman Jose Daluz III, along with vice chairman Miguelito Pato and secretary Jodelyn May Seno from interfering with the investigation and from pressuring water district employees. SunStar Cebu tried to reach Donoso and Daluz for comment, but to no avail.“They kept on insisting that there is no due process of what’s happening right now, but preventive suspension of our GM and suspension of our board of directors is part of the due process and they can find it in different jurisprudence,” Lapid said. Nothing to hide“If we are not hiding in the water district, there should be no problem at all,” he said. He said the dispute between LWUA and the MCWD BOD is “illogical” as the water district needs LWUA to approve its pending tariff rate increase application.Lapid said the tariff rates need to be raised because of the water district’s contracts with different water suppliers which come at a higher cost.“We badly need our tariff increase because of our new (water) sources,” he said.He said if the increase is approved, then commercial users will subsidize the water rate of residential users.“Mao gyud na ang design sa tariff nato sa (That’s how the tariff was designed at the) MCWD,” he said. On March 15, Daluz, along with Pato and Seno, was suspended for a period of six months in order for the LWUA-installed interim board to investigate issues surrounding the water district.But the trio has refused to step aside or to cooperate with the LWUA’s investigation.According to the Cebu City Government’s public information office (PIO), the interim board was able to pass the resolution suspending Donoso only after it was finally able to hold its first meeting inside the MCWD building on Friday.Gaining entry to the board room was not easy, as the MCWD’s executive committee refused to recognize them.According to the Cebu City Government’s report, Jorge Gabriente, MCWD assistant general manager for technical services, said Donoso had instructed him not to let the interim board enter the MCWD board room. But Gabriente later relented after a lawyer for the LWUA said he could face charges for defying them.SignatoriesThe resolution suspending Donoso was signed only by MCWD interim board chairperson Maria Rosan Perez, vice chairman Noel Samonte, secretary Anabelle Gravador, and member Rey Asterio Tambis, as fifth member, lawyer Manolette Fel Dinsay, was not present. It is not known when Tambis and Dinsay were installed as members of the interim board, as the LWUA’s order installing the interim board on March 15 mentioned the designation only of Perez and engineers Samonte and Gravador as interim board members.The PIO further reported that newly installed MCWD acting manager Lapid, a lawyer, asked his fellow employees to comply with the LWUA’s order and cooperate with the regulatory body’s investigation.The MCWD, under Daluz as chairman, entered into various contracts for desalination projects in Barangay Opao, Mandaue City and in Barangay Mambaling, Cebu City to each deliver 25,000 cubic meters of water per day to the water district. However, these were criticized due to the expensive water rate, which would affect the coffers of the water district. In a tit for tat, the interim board is set to issue a resolution to bar Donoso and suspended MCWD board directors Daluz, Pato and Seno from entering the premises, the PIO said. Last March 21, LWUA Chairman Ronnie Ong said the reason the regulatory body suspended MCWD’s board led by Daluz was so the LWUA could investigate MCWD for its high NRW, alleged failure to comply with procurement laws, and its questionable application for a 70 percent water rate hike. Daluz, Pato and Seno have been holding on to their posts even after Cebu City Mayor Michael Rama fired them last year and replaced them with retired major general Melquiades Feliciano, Aristotle Batuhan and Nelson Yuvallos last Oct. 31, while retaining Danilo Ortiz and Earl Bonachita as board members.The three, as well as the now suspended general manager Donoso, have questioned the LWUA’s authority to undertake the March 15 takeover of the board and sought the Office of the Government Corporate Counsel’s (OGCC) opinion on the matter which, handed down on March 26, was interpreted by both the LWUA and the MCWD as being in their favor.Following the release of the OGCC’s opinion, the LWUA’s lawyers last April 3 served the final demand notice to Daluz, Seno and Pato to vacate the premises of MCWD’s office and stop usurping the authority of its interim board — which was again ignored by the trio.The MCWD provides water services to the cities of Cebu, Talisay, Mandaue and Lapu-Lapu, and the towns of Cordova, Consolacion, Liloan and Compostela. (EHP, AML, CTL) What are the common gambling games in the Philippines? Philippines 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 A LOCAL legislator is pushing to include the South Road Properties (SRP) in the Real Property Tax (RPT) Code of Cebu City after discovering the area is not part of the existing code.Cebu City Councilor Jocelyn Pesquera, vice chair of the budget and finance committee, has proposed an amendatory ordinance to incorporate the fair market values of SRP into the existing RPT Code.If approved, the schedule of base unit market values in SRP will range from P45,000 to P60,000, depending on the lot classification.The proposed ordinance states that the schedule of fair market values is the basis for calculating property taxes within Cebu City.Pesquera introduced the draft ordinance to the City Council during the regular session on Wednesday, Feb. 21, 2024.The councilor believes that if the measure is approved, it will significantly increase income for the City Government.“It will balance off with the other developed areas. Also, it will add up income for the City,” said Pesquera in a text message to SunStar Cebu on Sunday, Feb. 25, 2024.Ongoing discussionThere is an ongoing discussion in the council for the proposed revision of the RPT Code after the council-approved revision was vetoed by Mayor Michael Rama in the first quarter of 2023.In August 2023, the Local Finance Committee submitted another proposed revision of the RPT Code.“A cursory review on Section 17 Schedule of Fair Market Values as approved by City Tax Ordinance No. XCIX would show that the South Road Properties is not included,” read a portion of the proposed ordinance.Proposed schedule of base unit market valuesIn her draft ordinance, Pesquera proposed that the schedule of base unit market value of all areas under the main road highway to be at P60,000.For other areas, the proposed schedule of base unit market value at sub street will be at P50,000; San Remo Oasis condominium area at P50,000; Citi de Mare condominium area at P50,000; Vestil Road area at P45,000; and all other areas in SRP at P50,000.The proposed amending ordinance was referred to the committee on laws for review.Should the ordinance be approved, the amendment will take effect on July 1 this year.RevisionThe required revision of the real property assessment is every three years as provided in the Local Government Code.The last time the City Government revised its property assessment was in 2002. This was supposed to take effect on Jan. 1, 2003, but its implementation was moved to 2006.In her proposed ordinance, Pesquera said during the discussion up to the eventual approval of the current RPT Code, the SRP was still in the construction stage, and the needed facilities and utilities to make the parcels of land within the area was still in its inception stage.Pesquera said that since the general revision of the schedule of market values was approved two decades ago, significant developments and business establishments have been built in the area. This has led to a substantial increase in land prices within the SRP.Despite the developments, the real property taxes collected by the City remain very low. The market values used for assessment are still based on when the SRP was undeveloped.“Thus, there is a need to amend the schedule of fair market values to incorporate the South Road Properties,” Pesquera said in her draft ordinance.The RPT Code was first enacted on Nov. 17, 1993. It has been amended several times since then.The construction of SRP, then known as the South Reclamation Project, started in the 1990s. Civil works began in 1997.SunStar Cebu reported in 2010 that the Overseas Economic Cooperation Fund (now the Japan Bank for International Cooperation) pledged to finance the South Reclamation Project in May 1995.Substantially completed in 2006, the SRP was declared a special economic zone and renamed the South Road Properties.The Cebu City Government signed a contract with Filinvest Land Inc. for the first sale and joint venture deal involving the SRP in February 2009. In January 2010, the City closed a sale of a 30-hectare SRP lot to SM Prime Holdings, for P2.7 billion. / JJL

It is not known when Tambis and Dinsay were installed as members of the interim board, as the LWUA’s order installing the interim board on March 15 mentioned the designation only of Perez and engineers Samonte and Gravador as interim board members.The PIO further reported that newly installed MCWD acting manager Lapid, a lawyer, asked his fellow employees to comply with the LWUA’s order and cooperate with the regulatory body’s investigation.The MCWD, under Daluz as chairman, entered into various contracts for desalination projects in Barangay Opao, Mandaue City and in Barangay Mambaling, Cebu City to each deliver 25,000 cubic meters of water per day to the water district. However, these were criticized due to the expensive water rate, which would affect the coffers of the water district. In a tit for tat, the interim board is set to issue a resolution to bar Donoso and suspended MCWD board directors Daluz, Pato and Seno from entering the premises, the PIO said. Last March 21, LWUA Chairman Ronnie Ong said the reason the regulatory body suspended MCWD’s board led by Daluz was so the LWUA could investigate MCWD for its high NRW, alleged failure to comply with procurement laws, and its questionable application for a 70 percent water rate hike. Daluz, Pato and Seno have been holding on to their posts even after Cebu City Mayor Michael Rama fired them last year and replaced them with retired major general Melquiades Feliciano, Aristotle Batuhan and Nelson Yuvallos last Oct. 31, while retaining Danilo Ortiz and Earl Bonachita as board members.The three, as well as the now suspended general manager Donoso, have questioned the LWUA’s authority to undertake the March 15 takeover of the board and sought the Office of the Government Corporate Counsel’s (OGCC) opinion on the matter which, handed down on March 26, was interpreted by both the LWUA and the MCWD as being in their favor.Following the release of the OGCC’s opinion, the LWUA’s lawyers last April 3 served the final demand notice to Daluz, Seno and Pato to vacate the premises of MCWD’s office and stop usurping the authority of its interim board — which was again ignored by the trio.The MCWD provides water services to the cities of Cebu, Talisay, Mandaue and Lapu-Lapu, and the towns of Cordova, Consolacion, Liloan and Compostela.

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. What are the common gambling games in the Philippines? .

THE acting general manager of the Metropolitan Cebu Water District (MCWD) will work with the Local Water Utilities Administration (LWUA) while it is investigating high non-revenue water (NRW) and other issues at the water district.John Dx Lapid, MCWD division manager for customer care, said he will also formulate measures to alleviate the effects of the El Niño phenomenon during his tenure.In a phone interview on Saturday, April 13, Lapid told SunStar Cebu that the LWUA’s interim board informed him on Friday, April 12, about his temporary appointment following the 90-day preventive suspension of general manager Edgar Donoso. The LWUA suspended Donoso on Friday because he continued to defy the interim board’s request to turn over documents regarding the MCWD’s transactions and he failed to respond to a five-day notice to explain his decision. Lapid said the MCWD will provide the LWUA with whatever it needs in its investigation.“They are asking for signed contracts, pending projects, mga COA (Commission on Audit) disallowance, so mao ni ang ilahang gipangayo nga documents (those are the documents they are asking for),” Lapid said. “By Monday, I will be meeting the managers, the rank-and-file, and (I) will assure them that there will be no vacuum of power that will happen. Rest assured with our consumers that our services will remain. Walay mausab (Nothing will change),” he said.The interim board has requested for police to be deployed at the MCWD office in downtown Cebu City to prohibit suspended Donoso and regular board of directors chairman Jose Daluz III, along with vice chairman Miguelito Pato and secretary Jodelyn May Seno from interfering with the investigation and from pressuring water district employees. SunStar Cebu tried to reach Donoso and Daluz for comment, but to no avail.“They kept on insisting that there is no due process of what’s happening right now, but preventive suspension of our GM and suspension of our board of directors is part of the due process and they can find it in different jurisprudence,” Lapid said. Nothing to hide“If we are not hiding in the water district, there should be no problem at all,” he said. He said the dispute between LWUA and the MCWD BOD is “illogical” as the water district needs LWUA to approve its pending tariff rate increase application.Lapid said the tariff rates need to be raised because of the water district’s contracts with different water suppliers which come at a higher cost.“We badly need our tariff increase because of our new (water) sources,” he said.He said if the increase is approved, then commercial users will subsidize the water rate of residential users.“Mao gyud na ang design sa tariff nato sa (That’s how the tariff was designed at the) MCWD,” he said. On March 15, Daluz, along with Pato and Seno, was suspended for a period of six months in order for the LWUA-installed interim board to investigate issues surrounding the water district.But the trio has refused to step aside or to cooperate with the LWUA’s investigation.According to the Cebu City Government’s public information office (PIO), the interim board was able to pass the resolution suspending Donoso only after it was finally able to hold its first meeting inside the MCWD building on Friday.Gaining entry to the board room was not easy, as the MCWD’s executive committee refused to recognize them.According to the Cebu City Government’s report, Jorge Gabriente, MCWD assistant general manager for technical services, said Donoso had instructed him not to let the interim board enter the MCWD board room.

I have been a volunteer firefighter for a year now,” he said in Cebuano. licensed online casinos A LOCAL legislator is pushing to include the South Road Properties (SRP) in the Real Property Tax (RPT) Code of Cebu City after discovering the area is not part of the existing code.Cebu City Councilor Jocelyn Pesquera, vice chair of the budget and finance committee, has proposed an amendatory ordinance to incorporate the fair market values of SRP into the existing RPT Code.If approved, the schedule of base unit market values in SRP will range from P45,000 to P60,000, depending on the lot classification.The proposed ordinance states that the schedule of fair market values is the basis for calculating property taxes within Cebu City.Pesquera introduced the draft ordinance to the City Council during the regular session on Wednesday, Feb. 21, 2024.The councilor believes that if the measure is approved, it will significantly increase income for the City Government.“It will balance off with the other developed areas. Also, it will add up income for the City,” said Pesquera in a text message to SunStar Cebu on Sunday, Feb. 25, 2024.Ongoing discussionThere is an ongoing discussion in the council for the proposed revision of the RPT Code after the council-approved revision was vetoed by Mayor Michael Rama in the first quarter of 2023.In August 2023, the Local Finance Committee submitted another proposed revision of the RPT Code.“A cursory review on Section 17 Schedule of Fair Market Values as approved by City Tax Ordinance No. XCIX would show that the South Road Properties is not included,” read a portion of the proposed ordinance.Proposed schedule of base unit market valuesIn her draft ordinance, Pesquera proposed that the schedule of base unit market value of all areas under the main road highway to be at P60,000.For other areas, the proposed schedule of base unit market value at sub street will be at P50,000; San Remo Oasis condominium area at P50,000; Citi de Mare condominium area at P50,000; Vestil Road area at P45,000; and all other areas in SRP at P50,000.The proposed amending ordinance was referred to the committee on laws for review.Should the ordinance be approved, the amendment will take effect on July 1 this year.RevisionThe required revision of the real property assessment is every three years as provided in the Local Government Code.The last time the City Government revised its property assessment was in 2002. This was supposed to take effect on Jan. 1, 2003, but its implementation was moved to 2006.In her proposed ordinance, Pesquera said during the discussion up to the eventual approval of the current RPT Code, the SRP was still in the construction stage, and the needed facilities and utilities to make the parcels of land within the area was still in its inception stage.Pesquera said that since the general revision of the schedule of market values was approved two decades ago, significant developments and business establishments have been built in the area. This has led to a substantial increase in land prices within the SRP.Despite the developments, the real property taxes collected by the City remain very low. The market values used for assessment are still based on when the SRP was undeveloped.“Thus, there is a need to amend the schedule of fair market values to incorporate the South Road Properties,” Pesquera said in her draft ordinance.The RPT Code was first enacted on Nov. 17, 1993. It has been amended several times since then.The construction of SRP, then known as the South Reclamation Project, started in the 1990s. Civil works began in 1997.SunStar Cebu reported in 2010 that the Overseas Economic Cooperation Fund (now the Japan Bank for International Cooperation) pledged to finance the South Reclamation Project in May 1995.Substantially completed in 2006, the SRP was declared a special economic zone and renamed the South Road Properties.The Cebu City Government signed a contract with Filinvest Land Inc. for the first sale and joint venture deal involving the SRP in February 2009. In January 2010, the City closed a sale of a 30-hectare SRP lot to SM Prime Holdings, for P2.7 billion. / JJL
