GOAL11 PH Tagalog-Regulatory Agencies in the Philippine Gambling Industry - Philippines

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 CBRTā€™s Package 1 could have been implemented elsewhere instead of OsmeƱa 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 OsmeƱa 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 Cuencoā€™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.

How can I earn money online easily? CEBU City Mayor Michael Rama should stop daydreaming and copying cities he has visited recently.This was the suggestion of City Councilor James Anthony Cuenco, committee on transportation chairman, after Rama announced that he wanted all 10 remaining skywalks in the city removed because they no longer served their purpose.Rama instead suggested replacing them with underpasses or underground pedestrian crossings, which he deemed to be more effective.The mayor had pointed out that Melbourne, Australia and other countries did not have skywalks.Rama took a leave of absence from Oct. 31, 2023 to Dec. 16 to be in Australia with his family.ā€œWe do not need to copy other world cities where the mayor has visited recently. We only need to use our heads,ā€ said Cuenco in a text message to SunStar Cebu on Sunday, March 17, 2024.ā€œHe should stop daydreaming,ā€ he said.Special purposeCuenco said skywalks were built to serve a special purpose, which was to safely allow pedestrians to cross one side of a busy thoroughfare to the other and allow traffic below to flow seamlessly without having to stop every so often.The local legislator said the solution does not require digging costly tunnels which will take years to build.He said the City only has to be ā€œresourceful and innovativeā€ like deploying personnel of the Department of Public Services (DPS), job order employees, and other City Hall personnel in the skywalks to ensure their proper use and cleanliness. The City should also install closed-circuit televisions so pedestrians will not hesitate to use them, he added.Rama earlier said skywalks have become an interim drop-in center for some mendicants.Cuenco said the City Council can also pass an ordinance penalizing street dwellers who use skywalks as shelters and repositories of human waste.He said the Prevention Restoration Order Beautification Enhancement team and Department of Social Welfare Services personnel should be asked to patrol these places and round up mendicants and transfer them to more suitable facilities.He said the City has a lot of more urgent and pressing concerns that need to be addressed like drought, water shortages, flooding, and traffic, which City officials need to focus on considering the Cityā€™s limited financial resources.Ramaā€™s plan to remove the remaining skywalks came after two skywalks along OsmeƱa Blvd., the one near Fuente OsmeƱa Circle and the other near Cebu Normal University, were demolished last February to pave the way for the implementation of the first package of the Cebu Bus Rapid Transit (CBRT) project.The government spent over P9 million to build the two skywalks around three decades ago.Skywalks of ā€œconcernā€In an earlier report of SunStar Cebu, Rama identified several skywalks which concerned him.The skywalk in Barangay Day-as has one end connected to a sidewalk, he said, while in Barangay Banilad, one side of the sidewalk ends on a sidewalk and the other end leads to a jeepney stop. There are also skywalks which have one end connected to a sidewalk and the other end leading to establishments.The one along Escario St. obstructs the sidewalk, he said.City Councilor Jerry Guardo, committee on infrastructure chairman, said five skywalks are expected to be affected by the CBRT construction.These are the skywalk in Barangay Pardo in front of the Sto.

We only need to use our heads,ā€ said Cuenco in a text message to SunStar Cebu on Sunday, March 17, 2024.ā€œHe should stop daydreaming,ā€ he said.Special purposeCuenco said skywalks were built to serve a special purpose, which was to safely allow pedestrians to cross one side of a busy thoroughfare to the other and allow traffic below to flow seamlessly without having to stop every so often.The local legislator said the solution does not require digging costly tunnels which will take years to build.He said the City only has to be ā€œresourceful and innovativeā€ like deploying personnel of the Department of Public Services (DPS), job order employees, and other City Hall personnel in the skywalks to ensure their proper use and cleanliness. The City should also install closed-circuit televisions so pedestrians will not hesitate to use them, he added.Rama earlier said skywalks have become an interim drop-in center for some mendicants.Cuenco said the City Council can also pass an ordinance penalizing street dwellers who use skywalks as shelters and repositories of human waste.He said the Prevention Restoration Order Beautification Enhancement team and Department of Social Welfare Services personnel should be asked to patrol these places and round up mendicants and transfer them to more suitable facilities.He said the City has a lot of more urgent and pressing concerns that need to be addressed like drought, water shortages, flooding, and traffic, which City officials need to focus on considering the Cityā€™s limited financial resources.Ramaā€™s plan to remove the remaining skywalks came after two skywalks along OsmeƱa Blvd., the one near Fuente OsmeƱa Circle and the other near Cebu Normal University, were demolished last February to pave the way for the implementation of the first package of the Cebu Bus Rapid Transit (CBRT) project.The government spent over P9 million to build the two skywalks around three decades ago.Skywalks of ā€œconcernā€In an earlier report of SunStar Cebu, Rama identified several skywalks which concerned him.The skywalk in Barangay Day-as has one end connected to a sidewalk, he said, while in Barangay Banilad, one side of the sidewalk ends on a sidewalk and the other end leads to a jeepney stop. There are also skywalks which have one end connected to a sidewalk and the other end leading to establishments.The one along Escario St. obstructs the sidewalk, he said.City Councilor Jerry Guardo, committee on infrastructure chairman, said five skywalks are expected to be affected by the CBRT construction.These are the skywalk in Barangay Pardo in front of the Sto.
