CEBU City Mayor Michael Rama has urged the Cebu Provincial Government officials to stop meddling in the Cebu City's Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) project.This came after the Cebu Provincial Board (PB) approved a resolution calling for the stoppage of BRT construction during its regular session on Monday, March 4, 2024.PB wants CBRT project haltedRama, according to Cebu City PIO on Tuesday, March 5, asked the Capitol officials "to show due courtesy" to the City and that they should focus on problems within their territorial jurisdiction.“Kung dili mo moundang sa panghilabot, ang ending ana gubot (If you don't stop interfering, the ending will be messy),” said Rama.The PB adopted the resolution pushed by Sixth District Board Member Glenn Soco, Fifth District Board Member and committee on infrastructure and public works chairman Red Duterte, and Third District Board Member John Ismael Borgonia, recommending the stoppage of the CBRT in Cebu City "due to its contribution to the worsening traffic condition, thereby causing great inconvenience to the people of Cebu and causing negative economic effects to the entire people of Cebu."In his privilege speech, Soco questioned CBRT's feasibility due to the proponent’s failure to provide details on the operation of the mass transport system project, such as the type of buses to use, who will be the operator, and the potential fare.Imbong remains as CBRT project manager, says DOTrDuterte, who also chairs the tourism committee, said he received reports and concerns that tourists on their way to the south experienced heavy traffic due to the CBRT project, which runs through two major thoroughfares.Borgonia said they are in unison with the recent call of the Cebu City Council to suspend the CBRT project. But Borgonia’s question as to “why now” (why only a year after the groundbreaking did the council object to the project) remains addressed to the Cebu City Council.Last February 27, Cebu Governor Gwendolyn Garcia also issued Memorandum 16-2024 ordering the contractor, Hunan Road and Bridge Construction Group Ltd., to immediately stop the construction of the bus station in front of the Capitol building along Osmeña Blvd.Garcia, in the memorandum, said the project’s proponents lacked the necessary authorization from the National Historical Commission of the Philippines (NHCP).The governor's call was also echoed by his nephew, Cebu City Vice Mayor Raymond Alvin Garcia, through a privilege speech he delivered last February 28, requesting the Office of the Building Official to issue a cease and desist order against Hunan Road and Bridge Construction Group Ltd. for its building of bus stations on Osmeña Blvd., for the threat it posed on the integrity of the city’s heritage and culture.Rama said he has no problem with the PB members' resolutions, but he wonders how the provincial officials would feel if he closes the roads leading to the Capitol.“Iyahay lang ta’g tan-aw sa atong porma. Pero, usahay, kanang gahum mosu’d na gani sa atong utok, wala na ang maayong pagpamatasan,” said Rama. (JJL) Is online gambling legal in Philippines? Philippines MORE than 40 percent of companies worldwide are facing a shortfall of qualified cybersecurity professionals, according to a recent Kaspersky study. It noted that amid the escalating frequency and complexity of cyber attacks, a notable shortage of personnel is particularly prevalent in the fields of malware analysis and information security research.A research conducted by (ISC)2 cybersecurity workforce study revealed that the workforce gap was almost four million information security workers in 2022. Kaspersky conducted its own research “The portrait of modern Information Security professional” to evaluate the current state of the labor market and analyze the exact reasons for the cybersecurity skills shortage. The research surveyed more than 1,000 information security professionals from Asia-Pacific, Europe, the Meta (Middle East, Turkey and Africa) region, North America and Latin America.The study found that 41 percent of the companies questioned describe their cybersecurity teams as “somewhat” or “significantly understaffed.”Russia reported the largest cybersecurity staff shortage, followed by Latin America, Asia Pacific and Meta. In the Philippines, the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) said the country is suffering from a scarcity of cybersecurity professionals.“Singapore has about 2,000 cybersecurity professionals, and the Philippines has about 200. And of the 200, 80 percent of that are working abroad,” said DICT Secretary Ivan John Uy.Uy said high demand for cybersecurity professionals was observed at the height of the Covid-19 pandemic with all brick and mortar businesses quickly shifted online to remain in business. The shift resulted in the rapid increase of cybercriminal activities, among others. Results of the studyMeanwhile, the respondents highlighted information security research and malware analysis as the most understaffed roles, with over 40 percent of companies identifying them as the most challenging to fill. This heightened demand for these positions was reported across Europe, Russia and Latin America.Security operations center (SOC), security assessment and network security professionals are slightly less understaffed at 35 percent and 33 percent, respectively. The shortage of SOC experts was particularly noticeable in Asia-Pacific, while the shortage of security assessment and network security analysts is mainly a concern in Meta.The role with the least number of vacancies, but still in high demand is threat intelligence at 32 percent.Looking at cybersecurity needs across industries, the government sector reported the highest demand for cybersecurity practitioners, and admitted that nearly half or 46 percent of the information security roles it required remain unfilled. The telecom and media sectors are understaffed by 39 percent followed by retail and wholesale and healthcare with 37 percent of its roles remaining vacant. Industries that had the fewest information security vacancies are information technology at 31 percent and financial services at 27 percent but alarmingly, the figures still hovered close to one third. Vladimir Dashchenko, security evangelist, ICS CERT, Kaspersky, said that to reduce the shortage of qualified information security professionals, companies offer high salaries, better working conditions and bonus packages, while also investing in up-to-date training with the latest knowledge. However, he noted that these measures are not always enough as shown in the results of their study. “The growth rate of the domestic IT market in some developing regions is changing so rapidly, the labor market cannot manage to educate and train the appropriate specialists with the necessary skills and expertise in such tight deadlines. On the contrary, regions with developed economies and matured businesses do not report such an acute shortfall of information security professionals as their rates are below market average,” said Dashchenko.RecommendationsTo minimize negative consequences of global cybersecurity staff shortfall, Kaspersky encouraged companies to invest in additional cybersecurity courses for your staff to keep them up-to-date with the latest knowledge.It also urged firms to use centralized and automated solutions to reduce the burden on the IT security team and minimize the possibility of making mistakes, as well as adopt managed security services to get additional expertise without additional hiring. Kaspersky said it helps to protect against cyberattacks and investigate incidents even if company lacks security workers. / KOC

THE Department of Health (DOH) has urged parents to have their children vaccinated, as it expressed concern over the increase in the number of deaths due to vaccine-preventable diseases, particularly pertussis or whooping cough and measles.In a statement, Health Secretary Ted Herbosa said vaccines to prevent these pertussis and measles are free of charge if availed in local health centers. The DOH said 453 cases of pertussis were recorded in the first 10 weeks of 2024, 1,870 percent higher than the 23 cases during the same period in 2023. Only 52 cases of the disease were recorded in 2019, before the Covid-19 pandemic, 27 in 2020, seven in 2021 and two in 2022.The Quezon City local government earlier declared a pertussis outbreak with 23 cases reported as of March 20, in which four patients died.In 2023, there were only a total of 27 pertussis cases in the city.

Ang bata ay maaaring makaranas ng apnea o pagtigil sa paghinga, pagkahirap sa paghinga, at pagsusuka,” the DOH said.(Pertussis or Whooping Cough causes wheezing after coughing. The child may experience apnea or cessation of breathing, difficulty breathing, and vomiting.)A person with pertussis can infect 18 more individuals, including children. Immunization against pertussis can prevent respiratory complications.The DOH said the routine immunization particularly of children was disrupted due to the Covid-19 pandemic. This includes immunization against pentavalent diphtheria, tetanus, hepatitis B, haemophilus influenzae type B, and measles, mumps and rubella which are all free of charge in local health centers.

Gambling in the Philippines 2023 – the Latest Trends

MORE than 40 percent of companies worldwide are facing a shortfall of qualified cybersecurity professionals, according to a recent Kaspersky study. It noted that amid the escalating frequency and complexity of cyber attacks, a notable shortage of personnel is particularly prevalent in the fields of malware analysis and information security research.A research conducted by (ISC)2 cybersecurity workforce study revealed that the workforce gap was almost four million information security workers in 2022. Kaspersky conducted its own research “The portrait of modern Information Security professional” to evaluate the current state of the labor market and analyze the exact reasons for the cybersecurity skills shortage. The research surveyed more than 1,000 information security professionals from Asia-Pacific, Europe, the Meta (Middle East, Turkey and Africa) region, North America and Latin America.The study found that 41 percent of the companies questioned describe their cybersecurity teams as “somewhat” or “significantly understaffed.”Russia reported the largest cybersecurity staff shortage, followed by Latin America, Asia Pacific and Meta. In the Philippines, the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) said the country is suffering from a scarcity of cybersecurity professionals.“Singapore has about 2,000 cybersecurity professionals, and the Philippines has about 200. And of the 200, 80 percent of that are working abroad,” said DICT Secretary Ivan John Uy.Uy said high demand for cybersecurity professionals was observed at the height of the Covid-19 pandemic with all brick and mortar businesses quickly shifted online to remain in business. The shift resulted in the rapid increase of cybercriminal activities, among others. Results of the studyMeanwhile, the respondents highlighted information security research and malware analysis as the most understaffed roles, with over 40 percent of companies identifying them as the most challenging to fill. This heightened demand for these positions was reported across Europe, Russia and Latin America.Security operations center (SOC), security assessment and network security professionals are slightly less understaffed at 35 percent and 33 percent, respectively. The shortage of SOC experts was particularly noticeable in Asia-Pacific, while the shortage of security assessment and network security analysts is mainly a concern in Meta.The role with the least number of vacancies, but still in high demand is threat intelligence at 32 percent.Looking at cybersecurity needs across industries, the government sector reported the highest demand for cybersecurity practitioners, and admitted that nearly half or 46 percent of the information security roles it required remain unfilled. The telecom and media sectors are understaffed by 39 percent followed by retail and wholesale and healthcare with 37 percent of its roles remaining vacant. Industries that had the fewest information security vacancies are information technology at 31 percent and financial services at 27 percent but alarmingly, the figures still hovered close to one third. Vladimir Dashchenko, security evangelist, ICS CERT, Kaspersky, said that to reduce the shortage of qualified information security professionals, companies offer high salaries, better working conditions and bonus packages, while also investing in up-to-date training with the latest knowledge. However, he noted that these measures are not always enough as shown in the results of their study. “The growth rate of the domestic IT market in some developing regions is changing so rapidly, the labor market cannot manage to educate and train the appropriate specialists with the necessary skills and expertise in such tight deadlines. On the contrary, regions with developed economies and matured businesses do not report such an acute shortfall of information security professionals as their rates are below market average,” said Dashchenko.RecommendationsTo minimize negative consequences of global cybersecurity staff shortfall, Kaspersky encouraged companies to invest in additional cybersecurity courses for your staff to keep them up-to-date with the latest knowledge.It also urged firms to use centralized and automated solutions to reduce the burden on the IT security team and minimize the possibility of making mistakes, as well as adopt managed security services to get additional expertise without additional hiring. Kaspersky said it helps to protect against cyberattacks and investigate incidents even if company lacks security workers. / KOC Is online gambling legal in Philippines?
