PRESIDENT Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. expressed confidence that the trilateral meeting between the Philippines, the United States, and Japan will not affect the investment from China.In an interview with reporters, Marcos said he does not see any connection between China’s proposed investments in the Philippines and his meeting with US President Joe Biden and Japan Prime Minister Kishida Fumio.“I don’t see how the two are connected. China will continue whatever investments it chooses to make,” Marcos said.“This is separate from any proposed or potential Chinese investments in the Philippines. How do I see it, how will it affect? I don’t see that it will affect, one way or the other,” he added.Marcos' meeting with the leaders of the Philippines' two ally countries was riddled with speculations that it is solely anchored on a “new situation” in the Indo-Pacific region, particularly in the West Philippine Sea (South China Sea) where the Philippines is experiencing harassment from China, which is claiming sovereignty in the area.He, however, maintained that the trilateral summit shows the “continuing evolution” of the relationship between the three countries.In a joint statement, the United States and Japan have expressed their serious concerns regarding the situation in the South China Sea as well as in the East China Sea, particularly the repeated attempts by the Chinese against Philippine vessels in supplying their troops in the Second Thomas Shoal, locally known as Ayungin Shoal.“We steadfastly oppose the dangerous and coercive use of Coast Guard and maritime militia vessels in the South China Sea, as well as efforts to disrupt other countries’ offshore resource exploitation,” the leaders of the Philippines, US, and Japan said in a Joint Vision Statement released on Thursday.“We reiterate serious concern over the PRC’s repeated obstruction of Philippine vessels’ exercise of high seas freedom of navigation and the disruption of supply lines to Second Thomas Shoal, which constitute dangerous and destabilizing conduct,” it further stated.They all urged China to abide by the 2016 Arbitral ruling that determined that the feature lies within the Philippines’ exclusive economic zone (EEZ).Marcos maintained that the Philippines will not give up even a square inch of its territory.The Marcos administration is expecting to secure over US$100 billion in investments from the trilateral meeting over the next five years.In January, Marcos secured $22.8 billion worth of investment pledges from his three-day state visit to China.This includes $13.76 billion for renewable energy, $7.32 billion for electric vehicles and mineral processing, and $1.72 billion for agriculture. (TPM/SunStar Philippines) Responsible gambling in the Philippines Philippines FORMER Cebu City mayor Tomas “Tommy” Osmeña has challenged the Cebu Provincial Government’s ownership of the lot along Osmeña Blvd. where the Cebu Bus Rapid Transit (CBRT) project is being implemented.During a press conference on Tuesday, March 5, 2024, he warned that if this fiasco continues, he will be forced to exercise his rights and reclaim the ownership of Osmeña Blvd., which had been donated by his late father Sergio “Serging” Osmeña Jr.Osmeña said Osmeña Blvd., which the CBRT traverses, and its surrounding premises used to belong to Cebu Heights Inc.He said his father was its president and principal stockholder.“My father gave the Province properties, in exchange for other properties, which my father did not get. Technically speaking, the deal was not valid,” Osmeña said.However, the Provincial Government under the administration of Gov. Gwendolyn Garcia earlier insisted that it owns portions of Osmeña Blvd. “We will see each other in court,” Osmeña said, referring to the Province’s claims.“It’s all part of the Cebu Heights (Inc.) and it’s owned 100 percent by my father. Even the part of the Fuente Osmeña (Circle) is owned by my father. I even have the title for it,” he said.If the Provincial Government insists on stopping the CBRT project citing its ownership of the lot, Osmeña said he will reclaim the property.Administrative Order 253Then President Carlos Garcia signed Administrative Order 253 on Oct. 7, 1957, where he exonerated Serging, who was then governor, and three others for dishonesty and grave misconduct in office allegedly committed in connection with the execution of a deed of exchange involving certain parcels of land by and between the Province and Cebu Heights.Garcia then withheld action on the deed of exchange executed in November 1954.The exchange involved three big lots of the Province and 14 smaller lots of Cebu Heights, which formed part of two national roads in Cebu City.Meanwhile, the former mayor reacted negatively to the two resolutions passed by the Provincial Board (PB) on Monday demanding the stoppage of the CBRT implementation, and the Feb. 21 motion of the Cebu City Council, pushed by City Councilor James Anthony Cuenco, which called for the suspension of scheduled civil works for CBRT Packages 2 and 3.He said the National Government will not heed the call of the PB and City Council to halt the project’s civil works.He said both PB and the council have “no teeth” to stop the project.Osmeña said stopping the project will not solve the problem, but only worsen it.The CBRT was Osmeña’s brainchild. He had pushed for it when he was still mayor and then congressman.During the press con, he said he envisioned the CBRT to alleviate the commuting woes of residents in Barangay Talamban and Bulacao going to and from the downtown area, citing that a dedicated bus lane will be beneficial to Cebuanos who cannot acquire motor vehicles.Discussions on the proposed BRT system started during his term.In 1997, Osmeña visited Curitiba, Brazil, where the first BRT was implemented in 1974.Possible repercussionsIn 2008, the Asian Development Bank, World Bank and Overseas Economic Cooperation Fund of Japan approved the project’s pre-feasibility study, according to Osmeña.He said stopping the CBRT may result in a negative credit rating for the Philippine Government in terms of foreign financing and funding agreements with international financial institutions.“The Philippine Government will never have an international bilateral agreement because if you do that you will be blacklisted from all donors and donations around the world,” Osmeña said. “They will not spoil their international credit rating just because Councilor Cuenco and some crazy Provincial Board members start ego tripping and say we should stop CBRT.”He pointed out that the CBRT was funded not only by the World Bank but also by the French Development Agency and the Philippine Government.The CBRT took 20 years to get off the ground.The entire CBRT system is composed of three packages:Package 1 consists of a 2.38-kilometer segregated bus lane with four bus stations and 1.15 kilometers of pedestrian improvements from the Cebu South Bus Terminal to the Capitol building.Package 2 features a 10.8-kilometer segregated bus lane with 13 bus stations, including a bus terminal at the South Road Properties, a roundabout facility in Cebu IT Park, and a depot in SRP.Package 3 includes the construction of a 22.1-kilometer feeder route, with 76 bus stops including feeder terminals in Barangay Talamban in Cebu City and in Talisay City. / EHP

THE Philippines and Australia inked on Thursday, February 29, 2024, three agreements that are seen to enhance the two countries’ information sharing, capability building, and interoperability in various issues.President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. said the agreements cover the maritime domain and maritime environment, cyber and critical technology, and the effective implementation of the respective competition laws and policies of the two countries.“The three agreements add to the more than 120 agreements that our two countries have signed through the decades. And these are in various fields, including defense cooperation, air services, education, research, scientific and cultural cooperation, amongst others,” he said.Marcos said the agreement on maritime domain is aimed to enhance the cooperation between the Philippines and Australia in order to strengthen the civil military cooperation, promote international law and rules-based international order, safeguard the marine environment and cultural heritage, enhance defense engagements, and establish avenues for dialogue among relevant agencies.As he addressed the Australia Parliament, Marcos highlighted the need for Australia and the Philippines to join forces along with their allies against threats to the rule of law, to stability and peace in the Indo-Pacific region, as well as to reinforce each other’s strength and continue to protect peace and oppose actions that violates international laws.Australia is one of the only two partners with which the Philippines has a Visiting Forces Agreement.“We have long known that our prosperity and development are anchored on the peace and stability of the Indo-Pacific. Today, that peace, that stability, and our continued success, have come under threat,” said Marcos.“Once again, we must come together as partners to face the common challenges confronting the region. Not one single country can do this by itself. No single force alone can counter them by themselves,” he added.Marcos reiterated that the Philippine government will not waver in its resolve not to allow any foreign power to take even a single square inch of the Philippine sovereignty amid prevailing issues in the West Philippine Sea (WPS), which he earlier described as worrisome.“I shall never tire of repeating the declaration that I made from the first day that I took office: I will not allow any attempt by any foreign power to take even one square inch of our sovereign territory,” he said.“The challenges that we face may be formidable, but equally formidable is our resolve. We will not yield. Then as now, the security and continued prosperity of the region -- of countries like Australia -- relies upon that effort. Just as we fought to build our rules-based international order, so are we now fighting to protect it,” he said.He maintained, though, that the Philippines has an abiding interest in keeping its seas free and open, and in ensuring unimpeded passage and freedom of navigation as he noted the importance of upholding, preservation and defending the unified and universal character of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea as the constitution of the oceans.In a joint press conference after a meeting with Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, Marcos said the two countries discussed ways to amplify their joint maritime activities, as they both acknowledge the ties between Australia and the Philippines particularly on defense, maritime cooperation, non-traditional security concerns, trade and investment, development cooperation, multilateral collaboration and people-to-people linkages.“Defense and security remain a key area of cooperation between the Philippines and of Australia. We look forward to amplifying our joint activities and the capacity-building efforts in this regard,” said Marcos.In terms of cyber and critical technology, Marcos said the Philippines is looking forward to sharing information and best practices with Australia, including the conduct of capacity building, promoting a secured digital economy, and achieving greater understanding of the application of international law norms in cyberspace.The cooperation on effective implementation of the respective competition laws and policies of the Philippines and Australia is one of the practical ways of the two countries to strengthen economic relations through the sharing of best practices and the conduct of capacity building on matters involving merger regulations, competition laws, and investigative techniques relevant to implementing competition laws.Marcos and Albanese also discussed greater bilateral economic cooperation, which will allow both the Philippines and Australia to withstand shocks, to be resilient against economic coercion, and to provide an enabling environment for businesses and labor markets.He added that they both look forward to more robust people-to-people ties to drive greater cooperation between the two countries and its peoples.“The significant Filipino diaspora, the fifth largest immigrant community here in Australia, has contributed significantly to the economic and cultural wellbeing not only of our country, but yours as well,” the President said.“It is also an undeniable indicator of Australia’s openness to embrace a globalized and interconnected world. Both the Philippines and Australia welcome future consultations and dialogues as we explore and map the uncharted waters that can bring in new opportunities for a closer and stronger relationship between our two countries,” he added.

He had pushed for it when he was still mayor and then congressman.During the press con, he said he envisioned the CBRT to alleviate the commuting woes of residents in Barangay Talamban and Bulacao going to and from the downtown area, citing that a dedicated bus lane will be beneficial to Cebuanos who cannot acquire motor vehicles.Discussions on the proposed BRT system started during his term.In 1997, Osmeña visited Curitiba, Brazil, where the first BRT was implemented in 1974.Possible repercussionsIn 2008, the Asian Development Bank, World Bank and Overseas Economic Cooperation Fund of Japan approved the project’s pre-feasibility study, according to Osmeña.He said stopping the CBRT may result in a negative credit rating for the Philippine Government in terms of foreign financing and funding agreements with international financial institutions.“The Philippine Government will never have an international bilateral agreement because if you do that you will be blacklisted from all donors and donations around the world,” Osmeña said. “They will not spoil their international credit rating just because Councilor Cuenco and some crazy Provincial Board members start ego tripping and say we should stop CBRT.”He pointed out that the CBRT was funded not only by the World Bank but also by the French Development Agency and the Philippine Government.The CBRT took 20 years to get off the ground.The entire CBRT system is composed of three packages:Package 1 consists of a 2.38-kilometer segregated bus lane with four bus stations and 1.15 kilometers of pedestrian improvements from the Cebu South Bus Terminal to the Capitol building.Package 2 features a 10.8-kilometer segregated bus lane with 13 bus stations, including a bus terminal at the South Road Properties, a roundabout facility in Cebu IT Park, and a depot in SRP.Package 3 includes the construction of a 22.1-kilometer feeder route, with 76 bus stops including feeder terminals in Barangay Talamban in Cebu City and in Talisay City. / EHP licensed online casinos THE Philippines and Australia inked on Thursday, February 29, 2024, three agreements that are seen to enhance the two countries’ information sharing, capability building, and interoperability in various issues.President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. said the agreements cover the maritime domain and maritime environment, cyber and critical technology, and the effective implementation of the respective competition laws and policies of the two countries.“The three agreements add to the more than 120 agreements that our two countries have signed through the decades. And these are in various fields, including defense cooperation, air services, education, research, scientific and cultural cooperation, amongst others,” he said.Marcos said the agreement on maritime domain is aimed to enhance the cooperation between the Philippines and Australia in order to strengthen the civil military cooperation, promote international law and rules-based international order, safeguard the marine environment and cultural heritage, enhance defense engagements, and establish avenues for dialogue among relevant agencies.As he addressed the Australia Parliament, Marcos highlighted the need for Australia and the Philippines to join forces along with their allies against threats to the rule of law, to stability and peace in the Indo-Pacific region, as well as to reinforce each other’s strength and continue to protect peace and oppose actions that violates international laws.Australia is one of the only two partners with which the Philippines has a Visiting Forces Agreement.“We have long known that our prosperity and development are anchored on the peace and stability of the Indo-Pacific. Today, that peace, that stability, and our continued success, have come under threat,” said Marcos.“Once again, we must come together as partners to face the common challenges confronting the region. Not one single country can do this by itself. No single force alone can counter them by themselves,” he added.Marcos reiterated that the Philippine government will not waver in its resolve not to allow any foreign power to take even a single square inch of the Philippine sovereignty amid prevailing issues in the West Philippine Sea (WPS), which he earlier described as worrisome.“I shall never tire of repeating the declaration that I made from the first day that I took office: I will not allow any attempt by any foreign power to take even one square inch of our sovereign territory,” he said.“The challenges that we face may be formidable, but equally formidable is our resolve. We will not yield. Then as now, the security and continued prosperity of the region -- of countries like Australia -- relies upon that effort. Just as we fought to build our rules-based international order, so are we now fighting to protect it,” he said.He maintained, though, that the Philippines has an abiding interest in keeping its seas free and open, and in ensuring unimpeded passage and freedom of navigation as he noted the importance of upholding, preservation and defending the unified and universal character of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea as the constitution of the oceans.In a joint press conference after a meeting with Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, Marcos said the two countries discussed ways to amplify their joint maritime activities, as they both acknowledge the ties between Australia and the Philippines particularly on defense, maritime cooperation, non-traditional security concerns, trade and investment, development cooperation, multilateral collaboration and people-to-people linkages.“Defense and security remain a key area of cooperation between the Philippines and of Australia. We look forward to amplifying our joint activities and the capacity-building efforts in this regard,” said Marcos.In terms of cyber and critical technology, Marcos said the Philippines is looking forward to sharing information and best practices with Australia, including the conduct of capacity building, promoting a secured digital economy, and achieving greater understanding of the application of international law norms in cyberspace.The cooperation on effective implementation of the respective competition laws and policies of the Philippines and Australia is one of the practical ways of the two countries to strengthen economic relations through the sharing of best practices and the conduct of capacity building on matters involving merger regulations, competition laws, and investigative techniques relevant to implementing competition laws.Marcos and Albanese also discussed greater bilateral economic cooperation, which will allow both the Philippines and Australia to withstand shocks, to be resilient against economic coercion, and to provide an enabling environment for businesses and labor markets.He added that they both look forward to more robust people-to-people ties to drive greater cooperation between the two countries and its peoples.“The significant Filipino diaspora, the fifth largest immigrant community here in Australia, has contributed significantly to the economic and cultural wellbeing not only of our country, but yours as well,” the President said.“It is also an undeniable indicator of Australia’s openness to embrace a globalized and interconnected world. Both the Philippines and Australia welcome future consultations and dialogues as we explore and map the uncharted waters that can bring in new opportunities for a closer and stronger relationship between our two countries,” he added.
