STUDENT journalists and advocacy groups across the Philippines continued their protests against the University of Santo Tomas (UST), one of the oldest and largest Catholic universities in Asia, after it allegedly ordered its campus online media organization, TomasinoWeb, to delete a photo of their students in uniform entering a known convenience store.As of Tuesday, February 27, 2024, over 900 signatories have been registered from the UST Alumni groups who have created a website to support TomasinoWeb called https://standwithtomasinoweb.com/.They criticized the Office for Student Affairs (OSA) and called for the removal of all personalities associated with the incident.“Let us call a spade a spade. The University of Santo Tomas through its Office for Student Affairs clearly censored TomasinoWeb over a benign photo of students. Its order to take down the image and its threat to dissolve the organization is definitely an encroachment on the constitutionally-enshrined rights of students,” the UST Alumni said.“We, Thomasian alumni, believe that the gagging of the campus press through OSA is just a symptom of a much more malignant disease in UST, one that has plagued the university since its establishment under colonial rule. The UST administration’s transgressions against TomasinoWeb is definitely not isolated, but part of a systemic problem of campus repression which they have refused to address and instead have allowed to fester,” it added.In a statement posted on the new website created by UST Alumni to support the beleaguered student media outfit, they maintained that “it is clear that what brought UST public ridicule is not TomasinoWeb’s photo, but the university itself and its refusal to uphold and recognize students’ rights.”“This must end now,” the group added.According to the TomasinoWeb, the issue started when some members of the university administration “raised concerns” regarding a photograph they posted on February 15, showing some College of Information and Computing Science (CICS) students in their Type B uniforms in front of the 7-Eleven branch at the UST Quadricentennial Pavilion.“The organization was told that the photo has become a source of public ridicule toward CICS students, their College, and the University as a whole due to the supposed association of the CICS Type B uniform with the convenience store’s employee uniforms,” the student website said in a statement.“TomasinoWeb never intended to cause any harm to anyone. While we believe being a convenience store worker is honest work, we acknowledge that the photograph still caused a stir online, and for that we sincerely apologize,” it added.To rectify this, TomasinoWeb removed the said controversial photograph from the album across all its social media platforms.On February 18, publication staff posted another advisory, saying: “In view of the resignation of our organization adviser, and following the protocol of the Office for Student Affairs, our publication on all social media platforms will be on hold until further notice.”Speaking to various media outlets shortly after the incident, former TomasinoWeb adviser Leo Laparan II maintained that what happened “was censorship.”“And I cannot accept and I cannot believe that as a practicing journalist, this incident happened in my two-decade career in a media organization in a student environment setting,” said Laparan II, who also worked as a desk editor for a national broadsheet, Philippine Star.Meanwhile, the National Union of Journalists of the Philippines (NUJP) called on UST to “stop censoring the campus press.”“Any imposed takedown, especially over an imagined slight and not because of a factual or ethical lapse, erodes press freedom and the independence of the press,” it said.“The UST administration's reaction to a harmless photograph on TomasinoWeb of CICS students wearing their Type B uniform in front of a convenience store exposes its elitist stance. The Catholic school should instead uphold the dignity of work and honor the workers' contributions to the Philippine society,” added NUJP in a statement on February 19.At least seven UST college-based student publications also issued a joint statement on February 20 in support of TomasinoWeb, saying that “instead of fostering constructive dialogue about the challenges faced by convenience store workers, this situation has unfortunately led to unwarranted censorship, creating a chilling effect on other avenues of publication.”The UST administration and the OSA have yet to issue an official statement on the controversy.As this developed, other student publication groups have expressed solidarity with TomasinoWeb.“Censorship, even at the campus level, is a form of oppression that suppresses free speech. Press freedom is not a privilege, but a fundamental right that serves as the bedrock of a democratic society,” said An Lantawan, a student publication of Leyte Normal University in Tacloban City.“Hence, we, at An Lantawan, refuse to remain silent against such repressive acts against the campus press, especially that we have experienced firsthand the challenges and threats that come with our commitment to truth and transparency,” added An Lantawan.In a statement on February 26, the Tacloban City-based campus publication urged for the “swift enactment of House Bill 1155 or the Campus Press Freedom Bill.”“This bill aims to revoke the Campus Journalism Act of 1991, which has several defects that endanger campus press freedom, such as the lack of guarantees for editorial autonomy. It also addresses the sources of campus press freedom violations and grants vital protections for student journalists,” it added.The College Editors Guild of the Philippines, the broadest alliance of tertiary student publications in the Asia-Pacific, reported around 1,000 cases of campus press violations from 2010 to 2020.Most of the offenses include harassment, libel cases against campus publication staff, and administrative intrusion.

Easy play easy earn in the Phlippines Philippines THE Cebu City Government and the Cebu Provincial Government were urged to settle the Cebu Bus Rapid Transit (CBRT) disagreements, as it may result in inconvenience to majority of Cebuanos if it develops into a legal standoff.Cebu City Councilor Nestor Archival, during the Openline News Program on March 12, 2024, maintained his resolution passed during the recent regular session last Wednesday, March 6, for the Cebu City Government through Mayor Michael Rama and Cebu Provincial Government under Governor Gwendolyn Garcia to sit down and discuss a practical solution for ongoing CBRT project in the portion of the Osmeña Boulevard that was affected by the latter's cease-and-desist order.The Council's minority floor leader said that if two leaders do not compromise and bring the matter to court, the Cebuanos will be the ones to suffer."Kung mag-standoff ni, unya maabot ang ting-uwan, unya naay daghan lungag diha, there will be some accidents diha nga mahitabo.

That’s a matter of territory,” Rama said on Friday, March 8, 2024.With the mayor's refusal, Archival said he is planning to submit another resolution, reiterating his earlier call for dialogue between the two local government units.He added that he is open to a suggestion where the City Council initiates a dialogue directly with the Provincial Board to reach a compromise on the project.Disputes should’ve been settled before implementation, says Imee"Ang ako siguro kay from the Vice Mayor itself and the Vice Governor. So, we will be having that resolution, and I will make that," Archival said.He said they acknowledge that the governor's argument is valid, as the bus station, which is part of the CBRT project located in front of the Cebu Capitol building, will potentially block the view of the “heritage” infrastructure built in 1936.He also suggested that both officials avoid throwing antics in the media, regarding the project, as this will result in more tension due to emotions involved."Instead of going to the media, doing some arguments, we are asking them to sit down and try to find ways nga pwede ba nato ni masabot. Kanang if kanang estasyonon naa duol sa Capitol kay kung pwede ba natu i-atras," Archival said."I have talked to Engineer (Norvin) Imbong (the project manager of the CBRT) and they have already raised these items to DOTr (Department of Transporation) og gina-aksyunan nana nila," he added.Archival added that there is a possibility of redesigning the bus stations, including shortening the height of its roof to adjust to the view of the Capitol building.In his opinion, halting the CBRT project will result in putting Cebu in a bad light for future benefactors and affect its credit rating from the perspective of the international financial institutions that approved loan packages for vital government programs and projects.On February 27, Garcia issued Memorandum 16-2024, ordering the Hunan Road and Bridge Construction Group Ltd., contractor of the CBRT Package 1, to cease construction of bus stations along Osmeña Blvd. in front of the Capitol building, citing lacking necessary authorization from the National Historical Commission of the Philippines (NHCP).A day after, during the Council’s regular session on February 28, Vice Mayor Raymond Alvin Garcia, who was the governor's nephew, urged the Office of the Building Official to issue a cease-and-desist order against the construction of the CBRT bus station through his privilege speech.Garcia: Osmeña Boulevard under Cebu Provincial Government Vice Mayor Garcia argued that the Capitol building has heritage protection following the declaration of a National Historical Landmark by the NHCP.Rama criticized his vice mayor for meeting with Governor Garcia and City officials to discuss CBRT matters, calling it a betrayal.

(EHP) Pick a Bonus in Casino CONSUMERS have been urged to conserve energy amid the threat of low power supply yet high demand for electricity, which might result in rotational brownouts in some areas of Cebu Island. Michael Ligalig, the government relations and regional affairs lead specialist of the National Grid Corp. of the Philippines (NGCP) Cebu and Bohol area, told SunStar Cebu on Wednesday, April 17, 2024, that the transmission firm issued yellow alert warnings for the Visayas grid on Wednesday from 1 to 10 p.m. Based on their data, Ligalig said the Visayas grid was operating at a projected peak demand of 2,523 megawatts (MW) from the available capacity of 2,713 MW. He said that on Wednesday, 13 power plants and generating facilities shut down operations, while five others were running on derated capacities, or “a decrease in the available capacity of an electric generating unit.”“Kaning mga power plants kay nag-conduct ni sila og (These power plants were conducting) maintenance activities or wala na sila naghatag power nato (were not providing power) as of now. So, kaning gitawag nato nga (this thing that we call) derated capacities meaning ang ilang gi-supply kay (their supply is) not the expected capacity,” Ligalig said. “These facilities are located in various part of the Visayas,” he said. ExplanationA total of 698 MW was unavailable to the grid on Wednesday, he said, while he stressed that the NGCP has no control or jurisdiction over these power generating facilities. He explained that yellow alert is part of the warning system of the NGCP to inform distribution utilities and consumers of an insufficient operating margin. “Yellow alert is not something to worry about because we can still tap reserve power. What we’re worried about is a red alert. Even then, the NGCP has several contingencies to minimize rotational brownouts,” Ligalig said in a mix of Cebuano and English. He said there is no threat of rotational brownout under a yellow alert, as this only indicates that the power reserves are low. Therefore, he said the NGCP is urging consumers to reduce electricity consumption during yellow alerts. He said one of the reasons power consumption has gone up is the ongoing dry spell. He said more people are using cooling appliances to escape the heat. But in the case of a red alert, which is a more severe situation, Ligalig said the NGCP will advise distribution utilities to implement manual load dropping or rotational brownouts in specific neighborhoods or regions to avoid a total blackout when the system is under stress.He said a red alert was issued on the Visayas grid on Tuesday, April 16, from 5 to 9 p.m., but this was lifted at 9:01 p.m.The Visayan Electric Company, on Tuesday, advised its consumers through its Facebook page that there was a possibility of a rotational brownout due to the NGCP’s red alert warning. The power situation outlook for the Visayas on Thursday, April 18, is a potential available generating capacity of 2,533 MW with a projected system peak demand of 2,288 MW. / EHP

THE Cebu City Government and the Cebu Provincial Government were urged to settle the Cebu Bus Rapid Transit (CBRT) disagreements, as it may result in inconvenience to majority of Cebuanos if it develops into a legal standoff.Cebu City Councilor Nestor Archival, during the Openline News Program on March 12, 2024, maintained his resolution passed during the recent regular session last Wednesday, March 6, for the Cebu City Government through Mayor Michael Rama and Cebu Provincial Government under Governor Gwendolyn Garcia to sit down and discuss a practical solution for ongoing CBRT project in the portion of the Osmeña Boulevard that was affected by the latter's cease-and-desist order.The Council's minority floor leader said that if two leaders do not compromise and bring the matter to court, the Cebuanos will be the ones to suffer."Kung mag-standoff ni, unya maabot ang ting-uwan, unya naay daghan lungag diha, there will be some accidents diha nga mahitabo. Kinsa man ang mabasol diha, diba ang duha gihapon ka institution?" Archival said.(If this develops into a standoff and the rainy season comes, flooding will be noted as there are many holes in the construction site. There will be some accidents. Who will be blamed for it? The two institutions, rights?)He said CBRT was designed to alleviate the commuting woes of the city's residents from Barangay Bulacao and Talamban and for them to enjoy an efficient and seamless public transportation, particularly those who cannot afford to have a private vehicle.Rama threatens lawsuit over CBRT oppositionArchival was a known ally of former mayor Tomas Osmeña, who has been considered the brains behind the CBRT project. He was also part of the team that conceptualized it.But Rama on Thursday, March 7, refused to meet with Garcia to talk about the project, reiterating his desire to file charges against officials who called for the project’s halt.“Why will I have to sit down? They should know where they are. That’s a matter of territory,” Rama said on Friday, March 8, 2024.With the mayor's refusal, Archival said he is planning to submit another resolution, reiterating his earlier call for dialogue between the two local government units.He added that he is open to a suggestion where the City Council initiates a dialogue directly with the Provincial Board to reach a compromise on the project.Disputes should’ve been settled before implementation, says Imee"Ang ako siguro kay from the Vice Mayor itself and the Vice Governor. So, we will be having that resolution, and I will make that," Archival said.He said they acknowledge that the governor's argument is valid, as the bus station, which is part of the CBRT project located in front of the Cebu Capitol building, will potentially block the view of the “heritage” infrastructure built in 1936.He also suggested that both officials avoid throwing antics in the media, regarding the project, as this will result in more tension due to emotions involved."Instead of going to the media, doing some arguments, we are asking them to sit down and try to find ways nga pwede ba nato ni masabot. Kanang if kanang estasyonon naa duol sa Capitol kay kung pwede ba natu i-atras," Archival said."I have talked to Engineer (Norvin) Imbong (the project manager of the CBRT) and they have already raised these items to DOTr (Department of Transporation) og gina-aksyunan nana nila," he added.Archival added that there is a possibility of redesigning the bus stations, including shortening the height of its roof to adjust to the view of the Capitol building.In his opinion, halting the CBRT project will result in putting Cebu in a bad light for future benefactors and affect its credit rating from the perspective of the international financial institutions that approved loan packages for vital government programs and projects.On February 27, Garcia issued Memorandum 16-2024, ordering the Hunan Road and Bridge Construction Group Ltd., contractor of the CBRT Package 1, to cease construction of bus stations along Osmeña Blvd. in front of the Capitol building, citing lacking necessary authorization from the National Historical Commission of the Philippines (NHCP).A day after, during the Council’s regular session on February 28, Vice Mayor Raymond Alvin Garcia, who was the governor's nephew, urged the Office of the Building Official to issue a cease-and-desist order against the construction of the CBRT bus station through his privilege speech.Garcia: Osmeña Boulevard under Cebu Provincial Government Vice Mayor Garcia argued that the Capitol building has heritage protection following the declaration of a National Historical Landmark by the NHCP.Rama criticized his vice mayor for meeting with Governor Garcia and City officials to discuss CBRT matters, calling it a betrayal.

STUDENT journalists and advocacy groups across the Philippines continued their protests against the University of Santo Tomas (UST), one of the oldest and largest Catholic universities in Asia, after it allegedly ordered its campus online media organization, TomasinoWeb, to delete a photo of their students in uniform entering a known convenience store.As of Tuesday, February 27, 2024, over 900 signatories have been registered from the UST Alumni groups who have created a website to support TomasinoWeb called https://standwithtomasinoweb.com/.They criticized the Office for Student Affairs (OSA) and called for the removal of all personalities associated with the incident.“Let us call a spade a spade. The University of Santo Tomas through its Office for Student Affairs clearly censored TomasinoWeb over a benign photo of students. Its order to take down the image and its threat to dissolve the organization is definitely an encroachment on the constitutionally-enshrined rights of students,” the UST Alumni said.“We, Thomasian alumni, believe that the gagging of the campus press through OSA is just a symptom of a much more malignant disease in UST, one that has plagued the university since its establishment under colonial rule. The UST administration’s transgressions against TomasinoWeb is definitely not isolated, but part of a systemic problem of campus repression which they have refused to address and instead have allowed to fester,” it added.In a statement posted on the new website created by UST Alumni to support the beleaguered student media outfit, they maintained that “it is clear that what brought UST public ridicule is not TomasinoWeb’s photo, but the university itself and its refusal to uphold and recognize students’ rights.”“This must end now,” the group added.According to the TomasinoWeb, the issue started when some members of the university administration “raised concerns” regarding a photograph they posted on February 15, showing some College of Information and Computing Science (CICS) students in their Type B uniforms in front of the 7-Eleven branch at the UST Quadricentennial Pavilion.“The organization was told that the photo has become a source of public ridicule toward CICS students, their College, and the University as a whole due to the supposed association of the CICS Type B uniform with the convenience store’s employee uniforms,” the student website said in a statement.“TomasinoWeb never intended to cause any harm to anyone. While we believe being a convenience store worker is honest work, we acknowledge that the photograph still caused a stir online, and for that we sincerely apologize,” it added.To rectify this, TomasinoWeb removed the said controversial photograph from the album across all its social media platforms.On February 18, publication staff posted another advisory, saying: “In view of the resignation of our organization adviser, and following the protocol of the Office for Student Affairs, our publication on all social media platforms will be on hold until further notice.”Speaking to various media outlets shortly after the incident, former TomasinoWeb adviser Leo Laparan II maintained that what happened “was censorship.”“And I cannot accept and I cannot believe that as a practicing journalist, this incident happened in my two-decade career in a media organization in a student environment setting,” said Laparan II, who also worked as a desk editor for a national broadsheet, Philippine Star.Meanwhile, the National Union of Journalists of the Philippines (NUJP) called on UST to “stop censoring the campus press.”“Any imposed takedown, especially over an imagined slight and not because of a factual or ethical lapse, erodes press freedom and the independence of the press,” it said.“The UST administration's reaction to a harmless photograph on TomasinoWeb of CICS students wearing their Type B uniform in front of a convenience store exposes its elitist stance. The Catholic school should instead uphold the dignity of work and honor the workers' contributions to the Philippine society,” added NUJP in a statement on February 19.At least seven UST college-based student publications also issued a joint statement on February 20 in support of TomasinoWeb, saying that “instead of fostering constructive dialogue about the challenges faced by convenience store workers, this situation has unfortunately led to unwarranted censorship, creating a chilling effect on other avenues of publication.”The UST administration and the OSA have yet to issue an official statement on the controversy.As this developed, other student publication groups have expressed solidarity with TomasinoWeb.“Censorship, even at the campus level, is a form of oppression that suppresses free speech. Press freedom is not a privilege, but a fundamental right that serves as the bedrock of a democratic society,” said An Lantawan, a student publication of Leyte Normal University in Tacloban City.“Hence, we, at An Lantawan, refuse to remain silent against such repressive acts against the campus press, especially that we have experienced firsthand the challenges and threats that come with our commitment to truth and transparency,” added An Lantawan.In a statement on February 26, the Tacloban City-based campus publication urged for the “swift enactment of House Bill 1155 or the Campus Press Freedom Bill.”“This bill aims to revoke the Campus Journalism Act of 1991, which has several defects that endanger campus press freedom, such as the lack of guarantees for editorial autonomy. It also addresses the sources of campus press freedom violations and grants vital protections for student journalists,” it added.The College Editors Guild of the Philippines, the broadest alliance of tertiary student publications in the Asia-Pacific, reported around 1,000 cases of campus press violations from 2010 to 2020.Most of the offenses include harassment, libel cases against campus publication staff, and administrative intrusion.

(EHP) licensed online casinos CONSUMERS have been urged to conserve energy amid the threat of low power supply yet high demand for electricity, which might result in rotational brownouts in some areas of Cebu Island. Michael Ligalig, the government relations and regional affairs lead specialist of the National Grid Corp. of the Philippines (NGCP) Cebu and Bohol area, told SunStar Cebu on Wednesday, April 17, 2024, that the transmission firm issued yellow alert warnings for the Visayas grid on Wednesday from 1 to 10 p.m. Based on their data, Ligalig said the Visayas grid was operating at a projected peak demand of 2,523 megawatts (MW) from the available capacity of 2,713 MW. He said that on Wednesday, 13 power plants and generating facilities shut down operations, while five others were running on derated capacities, or “a decrease in the available capacity of an electric generating unit.”“Kaning mga power plants kay nag-conduct ni sila og (These power plants were conducting) maintenance activities or wala na sila naghatag power nato (were not providing power) as of now. So, kaning gitawag nato nga (this thing that we call) derated capacities meaning ang ilang gi-supply kay (their supply is) not the expected capacity,” Ligalig said. “These facilities are located in various part of the Visayas,” he said. ExplanationA total of 698 MW was unavailable to the grid on Wednesday, he said, while he stressed that the NGCP has no control or jurisdiction over these power generating facilities. He explained that yellow alert is part of the warning system of the NGCP to inform distribution utilities and consumers of an insufficient operating margin. “Yellow alert is not something to worry about because we can still tap reserve power. What we’re worried about is a red alert. Even then, the NGCP has several contingencies to minimize rotational brownouts,” Ligalig said in a mix of Cebuano and English. He said there is no threat of rotational brownout under a yellow alert, as this only indicates that the power reserves are low. Therefore, he said the NGCP is urging consumers to reduce electricity consumption during yellow alerts. He said one of the reasons power consumption has gone up is the ongoing dry spell. He said more people are using cooling appliances to escape the heat. But in the case of a red alert, which is a more severe situation, Ligalig said the NGCP will advise distribution utilities to implement manual load dropping or rotational brownouts in specific neighborhoods or regions to avoid a total blackout when the system is under stress.He said a red alert was issued on the Visayas grid on Tuesday, April 16, from 5 to 9 p.m., but this was lifted at 9:01 p.m.The Visayan Electric Company, on Tuesday, advised its consumers through its Facebook page that there was a possibility of a rotational brownout due to the NGCP’s red alert warning. The power situation outlook for the Visayas on Thursday, April 18, is a potential available generating capacity of 2,533 MW with a projected system peak demand of 2,288 MW. / EHP
