MAJORITY of the members of the Cebu City Council voted for the suspension of the civil works of the second to fourth packages of the Cebu Bus Rapid Transit (CBRT) for six months.The officials also urged Cebu City Mayor Michael Rama to assemble a CBRT technical working group to explore the possibility of conducting a city-operated trial run of a CBRT route from Bulacao to Ayala during the suspension.Councilor James Anthony Cuenco, transportation committee chair, delivered a privilege speech during the regular session on Wednesday, April 17, 2024, pushing for the mentioned measures and introducing the proposals of mass transportation expert and consultant Rene Santiago and urban planner Nigel Paul Villarete surrounding the operations of CBRT.Cuenco said during the executive session on April 3, both Santiago and Villarete suggested that CBRT’s Package 1 could have been implemented elsewhere instead of Osmeña Boulevard. Their reasons included the short distance of the CBRT route from the Cebu South Bus Terminal to Capitol, the presence of numerous crosswalks along the route, and the possibility of simpler BRT station designs to save time and money.The two traffic experts also said that the current BRT routes primarily connect commercial centers like Ayala Mall and IT Park, rather than residential areas, as originally intended. They also questioned the request for a depot in South Road Properties (SRP), which they argued is not aligned with the BRT's original purpose. Instead, they proposed to consider an alternative route via Fuente Osmeña to Mango Avenue if the public prefers avoiding Capitol, while maintaining the start and end points in Bulacao and Talamban. The executive session concluded that there is no reason not to suspend Packages 2 and 3 while exploring the possibility of streamlining the route to a direct path from Bulacao to Ayala or Talamban.Taking into account the opinion of the two traffic experts, Cuenco supported the proposal of Santiago, who suggested conducting a dry run on the Bulacao to Ayala Route, implementing exclusive bus lanes without repaving roads, and utilizing temporary and/or cost-effective bus stations.However, Councilor Nestor Archival opposed this idea, saying Santiago failed to elaborate further the implications of his idea.During the voting of Cuenco’s measures, Archival, Councilors Joy Augustus Young, Mary Ann de los Santos, and Jose Abellanosa voted against the measures, while Association of Barangay Councils (ABC) president Franklyn Ong abstained from voting.

He noted that requests for farming equipment made by farmers last year allegedly remained unfulfilled.When asked about the distribution of water hoses and barrels to farmers, Rama said they had been distributing these ever since.However, in a prior interview with Casimero Pilones, head of the Alliance of Cebu City Farmers Association, Pilones said they have not received any assistance from the City Government this year.He said the farmers are in a dire situation, noting the lack of water for their crops.Pilones also suggested that the city could just provide them with drills so they could look for new sources of water, particularly in springs.However, Rama assured that part of their long-term plan is to search for new water sources, emphasizing hoses and barrels would not be much of a problem.Rama added that a private institution has committed to providing 11 water tankers, which the city can use to store water once they find new sources.MST deploymentMeanwhile, in a statement released on Monday, April 8, MCWD said that in collaboration with the City government, it had deployed two mobile siphon tanks (MSTs) in barangays Cambinocot and Bonbon to mitigate the impact of the El Niño phenomenon in the mountain barangays of Cebu City.The truck-mounted MST in Cambinocot, valued at approximately P15 million, can produce up to seven cubic meters of potable water per hour or 168 cubic meters of water per day. Similarly, the stationary MST in Bonbon, valued at P7.5 million, can produce up to 20 cubic meters of potable water per hour or 480 cubic meters of water per day.Both MSTs were donated to MCWD by the Japan International Cooperation Agency in 2016.The water from these units can be shared with residents of Pulangbato, Binaliw, Sirao, Buot, Pamutan, Sapangdaku and Babag, providing potable water to these areas. All other barangays are also permitted to collect water from these MSTs. The Cebu City government will cover the fuel expenses for operating the machines and the expenses of the personnel from barangays, and the Cebu City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office will ensure the security of the MSTs.MCWD has deployed personnel to operate the machines and will cover expenses for purifying agents in these areas.These mountain barangays are currently not served by MCWD, as distribution lines are yet to be installed. / AML
