CENTRAL Visayas experienced a slight uptick in its inflation rate, reaching 2.7 percent in February 2024, according to data gathered by the Philippine Statistics Authority in Central Visayas (PSA 7).PSA 7 chief statistical specialist Leopoldo Alfanta said on Tuesday, March 12, 2024, the figure is 0.2 percentage points higher than the 2.5 percent recorded in January this year.In comparison, in February 2023, the region faced a higher inflation rate of 7.4 percent.During the dissemination of the Summary Inflation Report for the Central Visayas Consumer Price Index for February this year, Alfanta highlighted at least three primary drivers of the inflationary uptick.These included increases in the inflation rates of food and non-alcoholic beverages, transport, personal care, miscellaneous goods, and services.Inflation, the gradual increase in prices of goods and services, leads to a decrease in the purchasing power of a currency. It reflects the percentage change in the average price level of goods and services over time, reducing the value of money as each unit buys fewer goods and services.National level At the national level, Alfanta said the country’s headline or overall inflation also increased to 3.4 percent in February 2024 from 2.8 percent in January 2024.This brings the national average inflation from January 2024 to February 2024 to 3.1 percent.

Inflation increased slightly in recreation, sports and culture, rising to 3.8 percent from 3.7 percent. Similarly, restaurants and accommodation services saw a slight uptick, reaching 4.4 percent from 4.3 percent.However, several commodity groups experienced lower inflation rates, including alcoholic beverages and tobacco which decreased to 10 percent from 10.2 percent, while clothing and footwear dropped to 2.3 percent from 2.4 percent. Housing, water, electricity, gas, and fuels also saw a decline, falling to 1.5 percent from two percent, along with furnishings, household equipment, and routine household maintenance, which decreased to 2.9 percent from 3.2 percent.Meanwhile, health remained steady at 4.5 percent, information and communication retained its previous rate of 0.3 percent, and education services remained at 1.4 percent. Financial services saw no change, staying at -0.2 percent.Food inflationMeanwhile, the regional food inflation surged to 2.9 percent from January’s 2.1 percent. But this is much lower compared to February 2023’s 9.0 percent.Last month, food contributed 36.3 percent to overall inflation. The top three contributors were cereals and cereal products with an 89 percent share, meat and other parts of slaughtered land animals with 30.6 percent, and milk, other dairy products, and eggs with 20 percent.Ready-made food and other products saw inflation, while milk, dairy, and eggs decreased. Oils and fats, along with fruits and nuts, also dropped. Additionally, fish and seafood declined faster, while sugar, confectionery, and desserts increased. / KJF Philippines Casino manila Philippines IN TIIME for the observance of Holy Week and the expected mass exodus among Filipinos, the Department of Health (DOH) is raising the Code White Alert beginning Sunday, March 24, until next week, March 31.

MORE than three months have passed since their appointment, and Metropolitan Cebu Water District (MCWD) chairman Melquiades Feliciano said on Tuesday, Feb. 6, 2024, that they have yet to receive their honorarium.He also said the matter has not been discussed during their board meeting.Cebu City Michael Rama, for his part, assured that the City Government will help Feliciano and his two other appointees get what is due to them.Rama appointed Feliciano, Nelson Yuvallos and Aristotle Batuhan as members of the MCWD board of directors (BOD) to replace MCWD chairman Jose Daluz III, and members Miguelito Pato and Jodelyn May Seno on Oct. 31, 2023.From MCWDIn a phone interview on Tuesday, Feliciano said the board has not discussed their honorarium, which will come from the coffers of the water district.Meanwhile, Rama, in a press conference, said Feliciano, Yuvallos and Batuhan will receive their compensation as soon as possible.Financial obligationThe mayor said the water district has a financial obligation to his appointees, as they are “legitimate” MCWD board members.He clarified that Feliciano and company are not employed by the City Government. Rama assured that the City Government would facilitate the release of their compensation despite the refusal of their predecessors to step down even with a termination notice.According to Section 13 of Presidential Decree (PD) 198, or the “Provincial Water Utilities Act of 1973,” each board member is entitled to receive compensation for each board meeting that he or she has physically attended.It will be equivalent to one percent of the mayor’s monthly salary for a first-class city, while “no director shall receive other compensation for services to the district.”In a separate interview, Daluz told SunStar Cebu that Feliciano, Yuvallos and Batuhan are not yet entitled to any compensation and benefits from the MCWD until the three are officially recognized by the Local Water Utilities Administration (LWUA). In the case of incumbent BOD members Earl Bonachita and Danilo Ortiz, Daluz said they no longer receive compensation and benefits even though the LWUA recognizes them, due to their constant absences from board meetings led by Daluz, Pato and Seno. Daluz also pointed out that the compensation provision of PD 198 had been amended.He said Rama currently earns around P200,000 a month. If the original provision was followed, he said each board member would receive P2,000 per board meeting. But Daluz said he receives around P40,000 per month, excluding benefits and allowances, for attending four board meetings. Meanwhile, Feliciano said they have been conducting board meetings outside the MCWD headquarters in Cebu City so as not to cause unnecessary conflict.On Jan. 31, 2024, Bonachita and Ortiz filed a criminal case against ousted Daluz, Pato and Seno for usurpation of authority or official functions after they refused to step down from their positions.Feliciano told SunStar Cebu that they are praying for the Office of the Cebu City Prosecutor to side with them. As for the legitimacy of his appointment, Feliciano said Rama’s appointing power and the “power to remove” have already been ruled valid by the Regional Trial Court and supported by a previous LWUA decision.He said they are waiting for the LWUA’s affirmation and reply to their earlier request regarding their appointment.Better and more efficientFeliciano said they are focusing on formulating policies to improve the water district’s efficiency in providing better service to its consumers and the management structure.They are reviewing all bulk water supply proposals and agreements entered into by their predecessors. This includes reassessing the water district’s assets and resources, particularly the possibility of additional water sources. Feliciano said the old MCWD BOD ventured into sourcing water from desalination plants that convert brackish and salty water into potable freshwater, which is expensive. He said this will be detrimental to consumers, as their monthly water bill will abruptly increase due to the cost of the desalinated water.

(HDT/SunStar Philippines) licensed online casinos MORE than three months have passed since their appointment, and Metropolitan Cebu Water District (MCWD) chairman Melquiades Feliciano said on Tuesday, Feb. 6, 2024, that they have yet to receive their honorarium.He also said the matter has not been discussed during their board meeting.Cebu City Michael Rama, for his part, assured that the City Government will help Feliciano and his two other appointees get what is due to them.Rama appointed Feliciano, Nelson Yuvallos and Aristotle Batuhan as members of the MCWD board of directors (BOD) to replace MCWD chairman Jose Daluz III, and members Miguelito Pato and Jodelyn May Seno on Oct. 31, 2023.From MCWDIn a phone interview on Tuesday, Feliciano said the board has not discussed their honorarium, which will come from the coffers of the water district.Meanwhile, Rama, in a press conference, said Feliciano, Yuvallos and Batuhan will receive their compensation as soon as possible.Financial obligationThe mayor said the water district has a financial obligation to his appointees, as they are “legitimate” MCWD board members.He clarified that Feliciano and company are not employed by the City Government. Rama assured that the City Government would facilitate the release of their compensation despite the refusal of their predecessors to step down even with a termination notice.According to Section 13 of Presidential Decree (PD) 198, or the “Provincial Water Utilities Act of 1973,” each board member is entitled to receive compensation for each board meeting that he or she has physically attended.It will be equivalent to one percent of the mayor’s monthly salary for a first-class city, while “no director shall receive other compensation for services to the district.”In a separate interview, Daluz told SunStar Cebu that Feliciano, Yuvallos and Batuhan are not yet entitled to any compensation and benefits from the MCWD until the three are officially recognized by the Local Water Utilities Administration (LWUA). In the case of incumbent BOD members Earl Bonachita and Danilo Ortiz, Daluz said they no longer receive compensation and benefits even though the LWUA recognizes them, due to their constant absences from board meetings led by Daluz, Pato and Seno. Daluz also pointed out that the compensation provision of PD 198 had been amended.He said Rama currently earns around P200,000 a month. If the original provision was followed, he said each board member would receive P2,000 per board meeting. But Daluz said he receives around P40,000 per month, excluding benefits and allowances, for attending four board meetings. Meanwhile, Feliciano said they have been conducting board meetings outside the MCWD headquarters in Cebu City so as not to cause unnecessary conflict.On Jan. 31, 2024, Bonachita and Ortiz filed a criminal case against ousted Daluz, Pato and Seno for usurpation of authority or official functions after they refused to step down from their positions.Feliciano told SunStar Cebu that they are praying for the Office of the Cebu City Prosecutor to side with them. As for the legitimacy of his appointment, Feliciano said Rama’s appointing power and the “power to remove” have already been ruled valid by the Regional Trial Court and supported by a previous LWUA decision.He said they are waiting for the LWUA’s affirmation and reply to their earlier request regarding their appointment.Better and more efficientFeliciano said they are focusing on formulating policies to improve the water district’s efficiency in providing better service to its consumers and the management structure.They are reviewing all bulk water supply proposals and agreements entered into by their predecessors. This includes reassessing the water district’s assets and resources, particularly the possibility of additional water sources. Feliciano said the old MCWD BOD ventured into sourcing water from desalination plants that convert brackish and salty water into potable freshwater, which is expensive. He said this will be detrimental to consumers, as their monthly water bill will abruptly increase due to the cost of the desalinated water.
