FOLLOWING the collapse of a bridge in Baltimore, Maryland in the United States after it was hit by a ship, a local legislator has urged government agencies, as well as the Cebu-Cordova Link Expressway Corp. (CCLEC), to undertake precautionary measures to prevent a similar disaster. Cebu City Councilor Rey Gealon, who also chairs the traffic management and coordination committee, said he will request Mayor Michael Rama to convene a multi-agency task force consisting of CCLEC, Maritime Industry Authority, Philippine Coast Guard, Philippine Navy, Philippine Ports Authority, and Philippine National Police-Maritime Group, among others, to craft guidelines and establish a protocol for adequate emergency response to a disaster similar to what happened in Baltimore.On Tuesday, March 26, 2024, a cargo ship lost power and rammed into the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore, causing the bridge to collapse in seconds. Six individuals are reportedly missing and presumed dead.Gealon urged CCLEC to undertake precautionary measures to avoid a disaster like the one in Baltimore, considering numerous container vessels traverse the Cebu harbor and under the bridge.He said he will formally file these measures through a resolution before the City Council in their next regular session.Design of CCLEXCCLEC, in a statement to SunStar Cebu on Wednesday, March 27, assured the public that Cebu’s third bridge linking the Cebu mainland to Mactan Island, underwent several studies, including a vessel collision analysis, to ensure that it is “safe and structurally stable” considering that it is above the busy Mactan Channel.It said the design of Cebu-Cordova Link Expressway (CCLEX) significantly considered vessel collision, considering its main span crosses the busy waterway in Cebu.“CCLEX’s main bridge has a maximum ship collision capacity of 110 meganewton (or equivalent to an 80,000 deadweight tonnage bulk cargo ship colliding onto the pile cap when traveling at 7.5 knots),” said the CCLEC.CCLEC noted that the height of the main bridge from the sea is 52.50 meters with a width of 260 meters, allowing large vessels to pass safely and securely underneath.The bridge, according to CCLEC, is equipped with a Bridge Management and Monitoring System, which is used to measure and monitor the main bridge’s structure conditions via different sensors including road weather information system. The sensors are used to measure and monitor road weather conditions such as temperature, relative humidity, wind speed, wind direction, rainfall, visibility and atmospheric pressure. The bridge also has stay cable accelerometers which detect fatigue loads, vibrational modes, and natural frequencies, among others. It is equipped with GPS position sensors, which detect displacement between the ends of the main bridge deck, and expansion joint displacement sensors, which are used to measure the accurate position of the relevant components of the main bridge such as the tops of the pylons.Marine signals were installed on the sides of the main bridge deck to serve as a navigational aid for ships going in and out of Cebu’s ports. CCLEX connects Cebu City on the mainland to the town of Cordova on Mactan Island. The first two bridges connect the cities of Mandaue and Lapu-Lapu.Bridge boardMeanwhile, Mactan-Cebu Bridge Management Board (MCBMB) chairperson and Cebu Gov. Gwendolyn Garcia told reporters on Wednesday that the board is focused on establishing a roundabout or rotunda along the intersection of UN Ave. in Mandaue City leading to the Marcelo Fernan Bridge, also colloquially known as the second Cebu–Mactan Bridge. Garcia said the traffic in the intersection sometimes reaches the second bridge during peak hours. The weight of the vehicles might have an impact on the bridge’s load capacity, she said.The rotunda is seen to reduce the stress load to the bridge as it will improve the flow of traffic from the Mactan-Cebu International Airport going to mainland Cebu, she added. The MCBMB is composed of the local government units that touch the three bridges, namely the cities of Cebu, Mandaue, Lapu-Lapu and the town of Cordova.Garcia said the Department of Public Works and Highways is also on the board. The agency’s role is to handle the bridges’ maintenance, she said.In November 1990, mv Sanko Elegance, a Korean-registered vessel, rammed into one of the columns of the Mactan-Mandaue Bridge, or the first bridge, at the height of super typhoon Ruping.The damage forced authorities to close the bridge for more than two months. The bridge at the time was the lone link between Cebu mainland and Mactan Island. It was reopened to light vehicular traffic in January 1991. / JJL, EHP What is the Bisaya of slot?

(TPM/SunStar Philippines) The Top 10 Online Sportsbook TEN local government units (LGUs) in Cebu have announced the temporary suspension of face-to-face (F2F) classes due to the recent increase in the heat index.The heat index is the temperature the human body feels when relative humidity is combined with the air temperature.The LGUs said schools will implement an alternative delivery mode of learning to minimize the disruption on students’ learning. This includes modular distance learning where learners use a self-learning module either in print or digital format that is usually implemented for those living in rural areas or provinces with intermittent internet connection.Lapu-Lapu City, Liloan and Consolacion suspended F2F classes in public schools from kindergarten to high school from Wednesday, April 3, 2024, to April 12.The City of Naga and Talisay City suspended F2F classes in public schools from kindergarten to high school from April 3 to 14. Toledo City and San Fernando suspended F2F classes in public schools from kindergarten to high school from Thursday, April 4, to April 13. Ronda suspended F2F classes in public schools from kindergarten to high school from April 3 to Friday, April 5. Private schools in these eight LGUs have the discretion to decide whether to suspend F2F classes.Minglanilla and Cordova suspended F2F classes in both public and private schools from kindergarten to high school from April 3 until further notice.More LGUsDepartment of Education (DepEd) 7 Director Salustiano Jimenez told SunStar Cebu on Wednesday that he expects more school division superintendents to give him an update on their situation.“So far, there are only three LGUs [that have notified us]. Though I am still waiting for documents from other superintendents [for other suspensions], but so far these are Talisay, Lapu-Lapu and Naga,” he said.He said LGUs also have the authority to suspend F2F classes during typhoons and other calamities.In an interview last March 18, Jimenez said public and private school heads and principals have the discretion and are authorized to shift to modular classes “in cases of unfavorable weather and environment, such as, but not limited to, extremely high temperatures,” under DepEd Order 37 of 2022.The Alliance of Concerned Teachers (ACT) 7, for its part, welcomed the move of the 10 LGUs.In a statement sent to SunStar Cebu on Wednesday, ACT 7 president Cristopher Abrajano called on other LGUs to exercise their power to suspend classes given the urgency of the matter.He also called on the DepEd 7 to look into the welfare of teachers, saying they have received reports “from the ground that teachers are still made to report to schools to supposedly prepare the modules for parents to collect from school,” which, for them, defeats the logic of suspending F2F classes.Cebu City Schools Division superintendent Nimfa Bongo reminded school principals about their authority to suspend F2F classes due to the continued hot weather. She said F2F should be automatically suspended if the heat index reaches 40 degrees Celsius.Less retentionIn Mandaue City, the Local School Board (LSB) said it plans to adopt a blended learning approach for pupils in elementary and high schools during the last two months of school year (SY) 2023-2024. During an LSB meeting at the Mandaue Science High School in Barangay Ibabao-Estancia on Wednesday, Bianito Dagatan, DepEd Mandaue superintendent, suggested putting in place measures to ensure pupils are still able to effectively learn, as most of them tend to have less knowledge retention without teacher supervision.Mayor Jonas Cortes, who is the LSB chair, supported the idea of blended learning. He said the approach is ideal, especially since pupils are still recovering from the learning gaps caused by the Covid-19 pandemic during which they had to attend full modular classes.Modular learning is an individualized instruction that allows learners to use self-learning modules, either in print or digital format, depending on the pupil’s needs.The LSB said it might implement a blended class setup that will involve dividing students’ class time between F2F and modular classes, as well as shortening class times.This blended class setup may remain in place while the heat index, particularly in Cebu, remains high.Dagatan proposed shortening classes from six hours to three hours and using the remaining three hours for modular activities to be done at home. The classes will be divided into morning sessions from 6 to 9 a.m. and afternoon sessions from 3 to 6 p.m.He said pupils will attend F2F classes on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays for their catch-up classes. They will have modular classes at home on Tuesdays and Thursdays.Concerns Dixie Ortiz, president of Mandaue’s Parents Teachers Association (PTA), was worried about the safety of elementary school pupils if they were to be dismissed at 9 a.m. Ortiz said most parents are already at work by this time, which means children will either have to walk home by themselves or get stuck in school waiting for their parents to fetch them.It will also be difficult for parents with children attending afternoon classes to send them to school, especially if they have work.There are also concerns regarding the lack of drinking water, which prompted the LSB to discuss the provision of at least two tabletop dispensers per floor. This will ensure pupils are well hydrated while attending F2F classes.Cortes announced plans to issue an executive order (EO) that will formalize a decision based on the recommendations of all involved stakeholders. Representatives from school divisions, PTAs, and other school personnel had until 3 p.m. Wednesday to discuss and present their suggestions, which will serve as basis for the mayor’s EO.Cortes said he also asked personnel of the Mandaue City College to discuss their plans and recommendations for blended learning for college students.DepEd orderDagatan said DepEd has issued an order authorizing school superintendents to halt F2F when the heat index reaches 40 degrees Celsius.Schools in Mandaue City continue to hold F2F classes since the heat index in the city has not climbed above 38 degrees Celsius. This week, the weather bureau Pagasa Mactan warned that the heat index in Cebu may reach 51 degrees Celsius in the coming months.Cortes assured that he would revise the EO if the humid weather worsened over time.“As much as we wanted to be reactive, we want to prioritize consultation because our DepEd personnel, principals, and superintendents have a better understanding of the situations in our schools,” he said.Due to the heat, DepEd will shorten SY 2023-2024. It was initially scheduled to end on June 14, but it will now end on May 31 to give way to the gradual return to the old school calendar.The fourth grading periodical test for the current school year will be conducted on May 16 and 17, and the closing or the end-of-school-year rites are slated on May 29, 30 and 31.Earlier this year, Jimenez said the decision to shift the school year’s start back to June was in response to numerous complaints regarding the challenges of conducting classes during the dry hot season that starts every March.SY 2024-2025 will start on July 29 and end on May 16, 2025. He said they will finally be able to revert to the June opening of classes again during the opening of SY 2025-2026 and the succeeding school years. The late start of the school year began in 2020, when the opening of classes was delayed to Oct. 5, taking into account the logistical challenges in areas facing mobility restrictions amid the Covid-19 pandemic.SunStar Cebu earlier reported that when the heat index reaches 51 degrees Celsius, it can cause heat cramps and exhaustion, and prolongued exposure can lead to a heatstroke.Pagasa Visayas weather specialist Jhomer Eclarino attributed the increase in the heat index to the El Niño phenomenon and the ongoing dry, hot summer. He said Cebu typically experiences its highest temperatures in May. On May 31, 2010, also during an El Niño, Cebu recorded a surface temperature of 37 degrees Celsius and heat index of 49 degrees Celsius. / KJF, HIC

It is equipped with GPS position sensors, which detect displacement between the ends of the main bridge deck, and expansion joint displacement sensors, which are used to measure the accurate position of the relevant components of the main bridge such as the tops of the pylons.Marine signals were installed on the sides of the main bridge deck to serve as a navigational aid for ships going in and out of Cebu’s ports. CCLEX connects Cebu City on the mainland to the town of Cordova on Mactan Island. The first two bridges connect the cities of Mandaue and Lapu-Lapu.Bridge boardMeanwhile, Mactan-Cebu Bridge Management Board (MCBMB) chairperson and Cebu Gov. Gwendolyn Garcia told reporters on Wednesday that the board is focused on establishing a roundabout or rotunda along the intersection of UN Ave. in Mandaue City leading to the Marcelo Fernan Bridge, also colloquially known as the second Cebu–Mactan Bridge. Garcia said the traffic in the intersection sometimes reaches the second bridge during peak hours. The weight of the vehicles might have an impact on the bridge’s load capacity, she said.The rotunda is seen to reduce the stress load to the bridge as it will improve the flow of traffic from the Mactan-Cebu International Airport going to mainland Cebu, she added. The MCBMB is composed of the local government units that touch the three bridges, namely the cities of Cebu, Mandaue, Lapu-Lapu and the town of Cordova.Garcia said the Department of Public Works and Highways is also on the board. The agency’s role is to handle the bridges’ maintenance, she said.In November 1990, mv Sanko Elegance, a Korean-registered vessel, rammed into one of the columns of the Mactan-Mandaue Bridge, or the first bridge, at the height of super typhoon Ruping.The damage forced authorities to close the bridge for more than two months. The bridge at the time was the lone link between Cebu mainland and Mactan Island. It was reopened to light vehicular traffic in January 1991. / JJL, EHP The Top 10 Online Sportsbook .

THE Philippine government will repatriate 63 Filipinos from Haiti amid the ongoing conflict brought about by violent gang activities.In a joint statement, the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA), the Department of Migrant Workers (DMW), and the Overseas Workers Welfare Administration (Owwa) said efforts are ongoing to bring back to the Philippines the Filipinos affected by the conflict in the Caribbean country.This came as the DFA placed Haiti under Alert Level 3, which means voluntary repatriation of Filipinos there.It said around 115 Filipinos are currently in Haiti.So far, 63 of them expressed willingness to be repatriated.“The DFA, DMW, and Owwa are now looking to charter a flight for the 63 Filipinos since no flights are coming out of Haiti, and land travel to the capital Port-au-Prince is also discouraged,” the statement read.“As of date, there is no report of any Filipino affected or injured by the ongoing security crisis,” it added.Haiti is currently experiencing a breakdown of law and order, with reports of civilian casualties and disruption in operations.Gangs have attacked key institutions and shut down the main international airport. (TPM/SunStar Philippines) licensed online casinos TEN local government units (LGUs) in Cebu have announced the temporary suspension of face-to-face (F2F) classes due to the recent increase in the heat index.The heat index is the temperature the human body feels when relative humidity is combined with the air temperature.The LGUs said schools will implement an alternative delivery mode of learning to minimize the disruption on students’ learning. This includes modular distance learning where learners use a self-learning module either in print or digital format that is usually implemented for those living in rural areas or provinces with intermittent internet connection.Lapu-Lapu City, Liloan and Consolacion suspended F2F classes in public schools from kindergarten to high school from Wednesday, April 3, 2024, to April 12.The City of Naga and Talisay City suspended F2F classes in public schools from kindergarten to high school from April 3 to 14. Toledo City and San Fernando suspended F2F classes in public schools from kindergarten to high school from Thursday, April 4, to April 13. Ronda suspended F2F classes in public schools from kindergarten to high school from April 3 to Friday, April 5. Private schools in these eight LGUs have the discretion to decide whether to suspend F2F classes.Minglanilla and Cordova suspended F2F classes in both public and private schools from kindergarten to high school from April 3 until further notice.More LGUsDepartment of Education (DepEd) 7 Director Salustiano Jimenez told SunStar Cebu on Wednesday that he expects more school division superintendents to give him an update on their situation.“So far, there are only three LGUs [that have notified us]. Though I am still waiting for documents from other superintendents [for other suspensions], but so far these are Talisay, Lapu-Lapu and Naga,” he said.He said LGUs also have the authority to suspend F2F classes during typhoons and other calamities.In an interview last March 18, Jimenez said public and private school heads and principals have the discretion and are authorized to shift to modular classes “in cases of unfavorable weather and environment, such as, but not limited to, extremely high temperatures,” under DepEd Order 37 of 2022.The Alliance of Concerned Teachers (ACT) 7, for its part, welcomed the move of the 10 LGUs.In a statement sent to SunStar Cebu on Wednesday, ACT 7 president Cristopher Abrajano called on other LGUs to exercise their power to suspend classes given the urgency of the matter.He also called on the DepEd 7 to look into the welfare of teachers, saying they have received reports “from the ground that teachers are still made to report to schools to supposedly prepare the modules for parents to collect from school,” which, for them, defeats the logic of suspending F2F classes.Cebu City Schools Division superintendent Nimfa Bongo reminded school principals about their authority to suspend F2F classes due to the continued hot weather. She said F2F should be automatically suspended if the heat index reaches 40 degrees Celsius.Less retentionIn Mandaue City, the Local School Board (LSB) said it plans to adopt a blended learning approach for pupils in elementary and high schools during the last two months of school year (SY) 2023-2024. During an LSB meeting at the Mandaue Science High School in Barangay Ibabao-Estancia on Wednesday, Bianito Dagatan, DepEd Mandaue superintendent, suggested putting in place measures to ensure pupils are still able to effectively learn, as most of them tend to have less knowledge retention without teacher supervision.Mayor Jonas Cortes, who is the LSB chair, supported the idea of blended learning. He said the approach is ideal, especially since pupils are still recovering from the learning gaps caused by the Covid-19 pandemic during which they had to attend full modular classes.Modular learning is an individualized instruction that allows learners to use self-learning modules, either in print or digital format, depending on the pupil’s needs.The LSB said it might implement a blended class setup that will involve dividing students’ class time between F2F and modular classes, as well as shortening class times.This blended class setup may remain in place while the heat index, particularly in Cebu, remains high.Dagatan proposed shortening classes from six hours to three hours and using the remaining three hours for modular activities to be done at home. The classes will be divided into morning sessions from 6 to 9 a.m. and afternoon sessions from 3 to 6 p.m.He said pupils will attend F2F classes on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays for their catch-up classes. They will have modular classes at home on Tuesdays and Thursdays.Concerns Dixie Ortiz, president of Mandaue’s Parents Teachers Association (PTA), was worried about the safety of elementary school pupils if they were to be dismissed at 9 a.m. Ortiz said most parents are already at work by this time, which means children will either have to walk home by themselves or get stuck in school waiting for their parents to fetch them.It will also be difficult for parents with children attending afternoon classes to send them to school, especially if they have work.There are also concerns regarding the lack of drinking water, which prompted the LSB to discuss the provision of at least two tabletop dispensers per floor. This will ensure pupils are well hydrated while attending F2F classes.Cortes announced plans to issue an executive order (EO) that will formalize a decision based on the recommendations of all involved stakeholders. Representatives from school divisions, PTAs, and other school personnel had until 3 p.m. Wednesday to discuss and present their suggestions, which will serve as basis for the mayor’s EO.Cortes said he also asked personnel of the Mandaue City College to discuss their plans and recommendations for blended learning for college students.DepEd orderDagatan said DepEd has issued an order authorizing school superintendents to halt F2F when the heat index reaches 40 degrees Celsius.Schools in Mandaue City continue to hold F2F classes since the heat index in the city has not climbed above 38 degrees Celsius. This week, the weather bureau Pagasa Mactan warned that the heat index in Cebu may reach 51 degrees Celsius in the coming months.Cortes assured that he would revise the EO if the humid weather worsened over time.“As much as we wanted to be reactive, we want to prioritize consultation because our DepEd personnel, principals, and superintendents have a better understanding of the situations in our schools,” he said.Due to the heat, DepEd will shorten SY 2023-2024. It was initially scheduled to end on June 14, but it will now end on May 31 to give way to the gradual return to the old school calendar.The fourth grading periodical test for the current school year will be conducted on May 16 and 17, and the closing or the end-of-school-year rites are slated on May 29, 30 and 31.Earlier this year, Jimenez said the decision to shift the school year’s start back to June was in response to numerous complaints regarding the challenges of conducting classes during the dry hot season that starts every March.SY 2024-2025 will start on July 29 and end on May 16, 2025. He said they will finally be able to revert to the June opening of classes again during the opening of SY 2025-2026 and the succeeding school years. The late start of the school year began in 2020, when the opening of classes was delayed to Oct. 5, taking into account the logistical challenges in areas facing mobility restrictions amid the Covid-19 pandemic.SunStar Cebu earlier reported that when the heat index reaches 51 degrees Celsius, it can cause heat cramps and exhaustion, and prolongued exposure can lead to a heatstroke.Pagasa Visayas weather specialist Jhomer Eclarino attributed the increase in the heat index to the El Niño phenomenon and the ongoing dry, hot summer. He said Cebu typically experiences its highest temperatures in May. On May 31, 2010, also during an El Niño, Cebu recorded a surface temperature of 37 degrees Celsius and heat index of 49 degrees Celsius. / KJF, HIC
