[UPDATED] TAIPEI, Taiwan -- Taiwan's strongest earthquake in a quarter century rocked the island during the morning rush hour Wednesday, April 3, 2024, damaging buildings and highways and leaving nine people dead.In the capital, Taipei, tiles fell from older buildings as the earthquake shook the city, and schools evacuated their students to sports fields, equipping them with yellow safety helmets.Some children covered themselves with textbooks to guard against falling objects as aftershocks continued. Afterward, a five-story building in Hualien County, near the offshore epicenter, was left leaning at a 45-degree angle, with its first floor collapsed.Taiwan's national fire agency said nine people died in the quake, which struck just before 8 a.m.The local United Daily News reported three hikers died in rockslides in Taroko National Park and a van driver died in the same area after boulders hit the vehicle.The agency said authorities have lost contact with 50 people in minibuses after the quake downed phone networks. More than 70 other people are trapped, but believed to be alive, including some in a coal mine. Another 882 have been injured.Taiwan’s earthquake monitoring agency said the quake was 7.2 magnitude while the US Geological Survey put it at 7.4. It struck about 18 kilometers (11.1 miles) south-southwest of Hualien and was about 35 kilometers (21 miles) deep.Multiple aftershocks followed, and the USGS said one of the subsequent quakes was 6.5 magnitude and 11.8 kilometers (7 miles) deep.Shallower quakes tend to cause more surface damage.The earthquake triggered a tsunami warning that was later lifted.Authorities said they had expected a relatively mild quake of magnitude 4 and accordingly did not send out alerts. Still, the earthquake was strong enough to scare people who are used to such shaking.“Earthquakes are a common occurrence, and I’ve grown accustomed to them. But today was the first time I was scared to tears by an earthquake,” said Hsien-hsuen Keng, a resident who lives in a fifth-floor apartment in Taipei. ”I was awakened by the earthquake. I had never felt such intense shaking before.”Television images showed neighbors and rescue workers lifting residents, including a toddler, through windows and onto the street. All appeared mobile, in shock but without serious injuries. Doors had been fused shut by the pressure of the tilt.The national legislature, a converted school built before World War II, and sections of the main airport in Taoyuan, just south of Taipei, also saw minor damage.Traffic along the east coast was at a virtual standstill after the earthquake, with landslides and falling debris hitting tunnels and highways in the mountainous region. Train service was suspended across the island of 23 million people, as was subway service in the capital, Taipei, where a newly constructed above-ground line partially separated.The Japan Meteorological Agency said a tsunami wave of 30 centimeters (about 1 foot) was detected on the coast of Yonaguni island about 15 minutes after the quake struck. Smaller waves were measured in Ishigaki and Miyako islands.The earthquake was felt in Shanghai and several provinces along China’s southeastern coast, according to Chinese media. China and Taiwan are about 160 kilometers (100 miles) apart. China issued no tsunami warnings for the Chinese mainland and all such alerts in the region had been lifted by Wednesday afternoon.The initial panic after the earthquake quickly faded on the island, which is regularly rocked by temblors and prepares for them with drills at schools and notices issued via public media and mobile phone.By noon, the metro station in the busy northern Taipei suburb of Beitou was again buzzing with people commuting to jobs and seniors arriving to visit the hot springs or travel the mountain paths at the base of an extinct volcano.Stephen Gao, a seismologist and professor at Missouri University of Science and Technology, said Taiwan’s earthquake preparedness is among the most advanced in the world, featuring strict building codes, a world-class seismological network, and widespread public education campaigns on earthquake safety.Hualien was last struck by a deadly quake in 2018 that collapsed a historic hotel and other buildings. Taiwan's worst quake in recent years struck on September 21, 1999, with a magnitude of 7.7, causing 2,400 deaths, injuring around 100,000 and destroying thousands of buildings.Taiwan lies along the Pacific “Ring of Fire,” the line of seismic faults encircling the Pacific Ocean where most of the world's earthquakes occur.The economic fallout from the quake has yet to be calculated, but Taiwan is the leading manufacturer of the world's most sophisticated computer chips and other high-technology items that are highly sensitive to seismic events. Parts of the electricity grid were also shut down, possibly leading to disruptions in the supply chain and financial losses.Taiwanese chipmaker TSMC, which supplies semiconductors to companies such as Apple, said it evacuated employees from some of its factories in Hsinchu, southwest of Taipei. Hsinchu authorities said water and electricity supplies for all the factories in the city’s science park were functioning as normal.The Taiwan stock exchange opened as usual on Wednesday, with the index wavering between losses and gains.

These vehicles operate with a system where two or three drivers take turns driving a single unit.The FCTC leader said in a phone interview Sunday, April 21, 2024, that MPUV units from Lahug Apas Transport Cooperative, Kalunasan Operators and Drivers Transport Cooperative, Banawa Transport Cooperative, and Mabolo Transport Cooperative are the first ones to be affected once the CBRT Package 1 becomes operational.“Sa pagkakaron, gipangkulbaan ang atong mga primary coops kay daghan mag coops affected if ever naa na ang BRT. Kahibaw nata nga ang atong mga modern jeeps puros inutang (Right now, our primary coops are anxious because they will be affected if ever BRT starts operating. We are all aware that our modern jeep units were purchased with loans),” said Maghanoy.CBRT’s first package covers the 2.38-kilometer route from Osmeña Blvd. to Cebu South Bus Terminal.SunStar Cebu sent a text message to BRT project manager Norvin Imbong on Sunday to inquire if there will be buses deployed after CBRT Package 1’s completion. Imbong has not responded as of this writing.Not enoughMaghanoy said even now that drivers can operate on their full routes, their income is not enough. She anticipates a significant decline in income with the BRT’s operation, as passenger traffic could be diverted.This same concern from FCTC was raised by Gealon during the City Council’s regular session last Wednesday, April 17. He pointed out that MPUV drivers gave up over 20 years driving traditional jeepneys to comply with the government’s PUV modernization program, only to potentially be displaced by the BRT project.“Sila nga ni-comply sa modernization, sila sad ang ma-dislodge kay di naman sila patadlason sa route gitadlasan sa una (The ones who complied with modernization might be the ones dislodged because they won’t be allowed on their usual routes),” said Gealon.“Kini sila daghan na kaayo (There are so many of them). They have invested so much, sacrificed their livelihoods, personal and family’s lifetime savings para maka-come up lang og pangbayad (just to be able to afford payments),” he added.Gealon said once the CBRT operates, MPUVs, along with other traditional PUVs, will only be allowed on feeder roads, making it doubtful they can earn enough income. A feeder road refers to roads that are smaller local roads that will connect passengers from interior barangays and streets to the main CBRT line.Each MPUV unit costs around P3 million.ExtensionThe National Economic and Development Authority (Neda) approved a further extension of the target completion date for the CBRT project from 2025 to 2027 last November 2023.Maghanoy hopes local transportation cooperatives will be given the opportunity to operate on the CBRT route during its initial operations while waiting for the project’s full completion in 2027.This, she believes, would allow drivers to maintain their income, and by the time the entire BRT system is implemented, most of their loans might already be paid off.“For the initial implementation, we hope modern jeeps will be given a chance, even if for only six months or one year, with a gradual transition to buses. This way, they can benefit instead of being displaced, especially since they only complied with the modernization program,” said Maghanoy.Imbong, in a text message to SunStar Cebu on Sunday, said 18-meter buses were approved by Neda to traverse the entire route of CBRT.Regarding the possible displacement of MPUV and traditional PUV drivers, Imbong said a new Local Public Transportation Route Plan for Cebu City is being developed.“Old routes will be changed taking into consideration the BRT route,” Imbong said.There have been calls from local officials to stop or suspend the civil works of the remaining packages of CBRT recently; however, Transportation Secretary Jaime Bautista said the mass transportation project must continue.The first phase of CBRT is composed of four package. The second package will cover a distance of 10.8 kilometers, from South Road Properties (SRP) in Barangay Mambaling and Escario St., Capitol, and Gorordo Ave. The third package will cover a distance of 18 kilometers, from Cebu IT Park to Barangay Talamban and from the SRP to Talisay City; and the fourth package will cover a distance of four kilometers, featuring a dedicated lane from barangays Bulacao to Mambaling, extension of the alignment from Ayala to Cebu IT Park, a rotunda underneath the Mambaling flyover, and the conversion of a mixed traffic lane along the coastal road at the SRP and F. Vestil St.The CBRT project is expected to cater to 60,000 passengers daily in its first year of operation, and up to 160,000 passengers once fully operational, according to the Department of Transportation. / JJL

[UPDATED] TAIPEI, Taiwan -- Taiwan's strongest earthquake in a quarter century rocked the island during the morning rush hour Wednesday, April 3, 2024, damaging buildings and highways and leaving nine people dead.In the capital, Taipei, tiles fell from older buildings as the earthquake shook the city, and schools evacuated their students to sports fields, equipping them with yellow safety helmets.Some children covered themselves with textbooks to guard against falling objects as aftershocks continued. Afterward, a five-story building in Hualien County, near the offshore epicenter, was left leaning at a 45-degree angle, with its first floor collapsed.Taiwan's national fire agency said nine people died in the quake, which struck just before 8 a.m.The local United Daily News reported three hikers died in rockslides in Taroko National Park and a van driver died in the same area after boulders hit the vehicle.The agency said authorities have lost contact with 50 people in minibuses after the quake downed phone networks. More than 70 other people are trapped, but believed to be alive, including some in a coal mine. Another 882 have been injured.Taiwan’s earthquake monitoring agency said the quake was 7.2 magnitude while the US Geological Survey put it at 7.4. It struck about 18 kilometers (11.1 miles) south-southwest of Hualien and was about 35 kilometers (21 miles) deep.Multiple aftershocks followed, and the USGS said one of the subsequent quakes was 6.5 magnitude and 11.8 kilometers (7 miles) deep.Shallower quakes tend to cause more surface damage.The earthquake triggered a tsunami warning that was later lifted.Authorities said they had expected a relatively mild quake of magnitude 4 and accordingly did not send out alerts. Still, the earthquake was strong enough to scare people who are used to such shaking.“Earthquakes are a common occurrence, and I’ve grown accustomed to them. But today was the first time I was scared to tears by an earthquake,” said Hsien-hsuen Keng, a resident who lives in a fifth-floor apartment in Taipei. ”I was awakened by the earthquake. I had never felt such intense shaking before.”Television images showed neighbors and rescue workers lifting residents, including a toddler, through windows and onto the street. All appeared mobile, in shock but without serious injuries. Doors had been fused shut by the pressure of the tilt.The national legislature, a converted school built before World War II, and sections of the main airport in Taoyuan, just south of Taipei, also saw minor damage.Traffic along the east coast was at a virtual standstill after the earthquake, with landslides and falling debris hitting tunnels and highways in the mountainous region. Train service was suspended across the island of 23 million people, as was subway service in the capital, Taipei, where a newly constructed above-ground line partially separated.The Japan Meteorological Agency said a tsunami wave of 30 centimeters (about 1 foot) was detected on the coast of Yonaguni island about 15 minutes after the quake struck. Smaller waves were measured in Ishigaki and Miyako islands.The earthquake was felt in Shanghai and several provinces along China’s southeastern coast, according to Chinese media. China and Taiwan are about 160 kilometers (100 miles) apart. China issued no tsunami warnings for the Chinese mainland and all such alerts in the region had been lifted by Wednesday afternoon.The initial panic after the earthquake quickly faded on the island, which is regularly rocked by temblors and prepares for them with drills at schools and notices issued via public media and mobile phone.By noon, the metro station in the busy northern Taipei suburb of Beitou was again buzzing with people commuting to jobs and seniors arriving to visit the hot springs or travel the mountain paths at the base of an extinct volcano.Stephen Gao, a seismologist and professor at Missouri University of Science and Technology, said Taiwan’s earthquake preparedness is among the most advanced in the world, featuring strict building codes, a world-class seismological network, and widespread public education campaigns on earthquake safety.Hualien was last struck by a deadly quake in 2018 that collapsed a historic hotel and other buildings. Taiwan's worst quake in recent years struck on September 21, 1999, with a magnitude of 7.7, causing 2,400 deaths, injuring around 100,000 and destroying thousands of buildings.Taiwan lies along the Pacific “Ring of Fire,” the line of seismic faults encircling the Pacific Ocean where most of the world's earthquakes occur.The economic fallout from the quake has yet to be calculated, but Taiwan is the leading manufacturer of the world's most sophisticated computer chips and other high-technology items that are highly sensitive to seismic events. Parts of the electricity grid were also shut down, possibly leading to disruptions in the supply chain and financial losses.Taiwanese chipmaker TSMC, which supplies semiconductors to companies such as Apple, said it evacuated employees from some of its factories in Hsinchu, southwest of Taipei. Hsinchu authorities said water and electricity supplies for all the factories in the city’s science park were functioning as normal.The Taiwan stock exchange opened as usual on Wednesday, with the index wavering between losses and gains.

AT LEAST 500 drivers of modern public utility vehicles (MPUVs) might be displaced if the operation of Cebu Bus Rapid Transit’s (CBRT) first package pushes through in July this year.To protect their livelihood, Cebu City Councilor Rey Gealon, who chairs the Cebu City Traffic Management Coordination Committee, proposed allowing MPUV units to utilize the CBRT’s first package route instead of procuring new buses.Ellen Maghanoy, chairperson of Federation of Cebu Transport Cooperatives (FCTC), welcomed Gealon’s idea, saying it could benefit the drivers and operators, even if temporarily, while waiting for the entire CBRT routes to be completed.Maghanoy said 200 MPUVs serving the route covered by CBRT Package 1 rely on a pool of around 500 drivers. These vehicles operate with a system where two or three drivers take turns driving a single unit.The FCTC leader said in a phone interview Sunday, April 21, 2024, that MPUV units from Lahug Apas Transport Cooperative, Kalunasan Operators and Drivers Transport Cooperative, Banawa Transport Cooperative, and Mabolo Transport Cooperative are the first ones to be affected once the CBRT Package 1 becomes operational.“Sa pagkakaron, gipangkulbaan ang atong mga primary coops kay daghan mag coops affected if ever naa na ang BRT. Kahibaw nata nga ang atong mga modern jeeps puros inutang (Right now, our primary coops are anxious because they will be affected if ever BRT starts operating. We are all aware that our modern jeep units were purchased with loans),” said Maghanoy.CBRT’s first package covers the 2.38-kilometer route from Osmeña Blvd. to Cebu South Bus Terminal.SunStar Cebu sent a text message to BRT project manager Norvin Imbong on Sunday to inquire if there will be buses deployed after CBRT Package 1’s completion. Imbong has not responded as of this writing.Not enoughMaghanoy said even now that drivers can operate on their full routes, their income is not enough. She anticipates a significant decline in income with the BRT’s operation, as passenger traffic could be diverted.This same concern from FCTC was raised by Gealon during the City Council’s regular session last Wednesday, April 17. He pointed out that MPUV drivers gave up over 20 years driving traditional jeepneys to comply with the government’s PUV modernization program, only to potentially be displaced by the BRT project.“Sila nga ni-comply sa modernization, sila sad ang ma-dislodge kay di naman sila patadlason sa route gitadlasan sa una (The ones who complied with modernization might be the ones dislodged because they won’t be allowed on their usual routes),” said Gealon.“Kini sila daghan na kaayo (There are so many of them).

But Rodriguez said that he is standing by the drug test result, which he publicized in 2021, showing Marcos negative for illegal drug use.“Sasabihin ko sa lahat na aking pinaninindigan ang resultang aking ipinakitang noong 2021 na negatibo si then BBM, ‘yung kandidatong BBM,” he said.(I will tell everyone that I stand by the result that I showed in 2021 that then BBM was negative, the BBM candidate.)Rodriguez served as Marcos’ spokesperson during the campaign period ahead of the 2022 national elections.He was appointed by Marcos as his executive secretary but he stepped down from post in September 2022, announcing his “complete exit” from the administration for personal reasons.Recently, Rodriguez was seen joining the prayer rallies organized by the supporters of Duterte that are aimed to oppose the proposed Charter change of the administration.Rodriguez said he supports any move to protect and defend the country’s Constitution.He expressed strong belief that term extension will be covered by the proposed charter change of the administration.“Yes, we are convinced na isisingit nila ‘yung paggalaw doon sa mga term limitation at yun ‘yung ating hindi sinasang-ayunan,” said Rodriguez.(Yes, we are convinced that they will insert the movement in the term limitations and that is what we do not agree with.)“Wag na natin ituloy yan; masyadong divisive. Ang pagtuunan natin ng pansin yung inflation, ‘yung, kagutuman and to diffuse and deescalate ang tension sa South China sea,” he added.(Let's not continue that; it's too divisive. Let's focus on inflation, hunger and to diffuse and deescalate the tension in the South China Sea.) (TPM/SunStar Philippines)
