Joshua Usigan & Ma. Anna Primero, BipsU InternsA SENSE of hopelessness hangs in the air as vegetable and fruit vendors in Carbon Public Market in Cebu City grapple with the effects of El Niño, causing distress among those who face financial ruin. For Susan Bajenting, a vegetable vendor, coping with the sight of her hard-earned produce rotting away is a bitter pill to swallow.“Among baligya malawos ug madaot, ug inig malaya, amo na pong hugasan butangan og ice para mopresko apan makuhaan gyud og timbang so lugi gihapon,” Bajenting said.(Our products are susceptible to spoilage. When they start to wither, we must rinse them and place them on ice to maintain their freshness. Nonetheless, this process still leads to losses due to its impact on their weight.)“Para namo maapektuhan g’yud mi kay gamay nalang man ang supply... gamay og kita para lang naay gamay na kwarta, makabayad sa tag-iya,” she added.(The El Niño phenomenon significantly affects us as it affects our supply chain. Despite minimal profits, we must sell to cover rent for our stall.)Bajenting said they initially sold their lettuce at P100 per kilo, but last week, due to cost considerations, they raised the price to P120 to cover expenses. With the dry season affecting supply, she said they are contemplating a further increase to P200 per kilo.As the temperature soars and the rainfall becomes erratic, the once-fresh produce will now wilt prematurely, succumbing to decay before it reaches the hands of the consumer. Rico Daral Jr., also a vegetable vendor, shared the same frustration with Bajenting as he also experienced a sudden drop in earnings.He said the sales are slow and it’s quite challenging to store certain vegetables, which are not high in demand, in foam and ice due to their inability to withstand the heat.Likewise, fruit vendors are also taking a hit with the prevailing dry season, having a ripple effect on consumers, with vendors adjusting the prices significantly.For instance, a kilo of avocado, previously priced at P150, now sells for up to P200, while cucumbers, previously priced at P25 per kilo, now cost P50 per kilo. Fruit vendors, however, are capitalizing on increased demand, especially during this year’s Holy Week when people seek fruits and vegetables as meat alternatives during the Lenten period.“We earned a bit this week because it’s Holy Week. During such occasions, fruits and vegetables are really in demand,” Samuel Montemayor, a fruit vendor and supplier, said in Cebuano.The repercussions of El Niño extend beyond the market stalls, casting a long shadow over the wallets of consumers, but they have little choice but to pay up. An eatery owner, who asked not to be named, said she usually buys squash, eggplant, cucumber, and other leafy vegetables, and he can attest to the rise in prices for these items.However, he acknowledged that vendors are also affected by the hot weather and understood their need to adjust prices accordingly.While there might be some rain in the city during this period, the El Niño is expected to persist for several months -- possibly prolonging the struggle of vendors to make ends meet.

Philippines THE Navotas Regional Trial Court has convicted a policeman over the killing of 17-year-old Jhemboy Baltazar.In a decision handed down by the Navotas City Regional Trial Court Branch 286, it said it has found former Police Staff Sergeant Gerry Maliban guilty of homicide, giving him a jail time of four years.The court also ordered the four months detention of former Police Executive Master Sergeant Roberto Balais Jr., Police Staff Sergeant Nikko Esquilon, Police Corporal Eduard Jake Blanco, and Patrolman Benedict Mangada for illegal discharge of firearms.It acquitted, however, Police Staff Sergeant Antonio Bugayong Jr. from any charges related to the case and ordered the Metro Manila District Jail Annex 2 to release him unless he is being detained for other lawful cause.Cop in mistaken identity case dismissed from service in 2020Baltazar’s mother, Rodaliza, expressed dismay over the court’s decision.“Siya po apat na taon lang siya makukulong. 'Yung anak ko habang buhay na wala. Pinagtulong-tulungan nila 'yung anak ko barilin tapos ano? Gano'n lang? Makakalaya lang sila. Sana maramdaman nila din ‘yung nararamdaman ng pamilya ko ngayon na sobrang sakit na pagkawala ng anak ko. Sana sila rin,” she said.(He will only be imprisoned for four years. My son will be gone forever. They helped shoot my son, then what? That's it? They can just be free. I hope they also feel what my family is feeling now that it is so painful to lose my son.)“Ano po ‘yung buhay ng anak ko ano lang, parang aso lang o kaya pusa na ilang ano lang nila paghihirapan tapos parang wala silang ginawa. Parang nasaan po 'yung hustisya, 'yung katarungan para sa anak ko? Ilang taon lang po 'yung anak ko, may pangarap pa po siya. Wala na po dahil pinatay po nila ng walang dahilan. Wala pong kaalam-alam 'yung anak ko, wala pong kasalanan,” she added.On August 2, 2023, Baltazar and his companion were preparing their boat for fishing when the police, who were then conducting a hot pursuit operation against a murder suspect, arrived.18-year-old boy killed in case of mistaken identityThe witness said they initially hid in the corner as they were afraid of the cops who were then in civilian clothes.When they were about to come out, the police started shooting, prompting Baltazar to jump off the water.Baltazar, who sustained gun shots in the head and right hand, was recovered several hours later not by the police but by the concerned citizens.The police later admitted that it was a case of mistaken identity.The six cops were earlier dismissed from the service due to grave irregularity in the performance of duty and conduct unbecoming of a police officer.

However, there have been instances where violators continued to make U-turns despite the presence of traffic enforcers in the area.Some netizens suggested putting up fences, while others suggested equipping the city’s traffic enforcers with the Temporary Operator’s Permit (TOP) to deter these violators.TOP is the ticketing system used by the personnel of the Land Transportation Office and its deputized enforcers that includes confiscation of the driver’s license and a higher penalty than the citation ticket by CCTO.SunStar Cebu visited the area on Friday afternoon, April 5, and observed several motorcycle riders violating the “No U-turn” signage.

Jongoy said this is a decrease from the 700-manpower count when he first joined the agency.“Ideally we need more, considering that there are many roads in the city. What we are doing right now, we are encouraging the City government to quickly implement City Ordinance 2131 and our ordinance on road closure due to construction works,” Jongoy said during an interview with “Beyond the Headlines,” SunStar Cebu’s online news and commentary program.Jongoy said that under these ordinances, it will not be the CCTO that will be responsible for managing traffic but the contractor in accordance with the traffic management plan, along with the assistance of traffic marshalls.Modernization programHe added that the CCTO has not yet completed its modernization initiative, which includes installing closed circuit television (CCTV) cameras and modern traffic lights in strategic locations. These measures will help manage and monitor daily traffic and identify violators.He said the project is still under negotiation and review before the contractor can turn the project over to the City Government. He said the City Government has around 80 intersections, 18 of which are part of Phase 1 of the modernization project, and another 27 will be included in the ongoing Phase 2 implementation.He stressed that discipline on the road not only ensures a smooth flow of traffic but it also lessens vehicular and road accidents. / EHP

Escario St. going to Archbishop Reyes Ave. before turning left to reach Salinas Drive.Lack of manpowerJongoy said the lack of manpower to station enforcers at major thoroughfares during peak hours remains a challenge for the CCTO.He added that the intense heat of the sun, due to El Niño, has also limited traffic enforcers’ ability to man traffic in the middle of the day.Jongoy said the CCTO has reduced the hours during which enforcers are exposed to the sun, and the Traffic Management and Coordinating Council is considering allowing their patrol vehicles to regularly distribute refreshments to the enforcers in the field.The CCTO has around 400 personnel, including job order employees. Jongoy said this is a decrease from the 700-manpower count when he first joined the agency.“Ideally we need more, considering that there are many roads in the city. What we are doing right now, we are encouraging the City government to quickly implement City Ordinance 2131 and our ordinance on road closure due to construction works,” Jongoy said during an interview with “Beyond the Headlines,” SunStar Cebu’s online news and commentary program.Jongoy said that under these ordinances, it will not be the CCTO that will be responsible for managing traffic but the contractor in accordance with the traffic management plan, along with the assistance of traffic marshalls.Modernization programHe added that the CCTO has not yet completed its modernization initiative, which includes installing closed circuit television (CCTV) cameras and modern traffic lights in strategic locations. These measures will help manage and monitor daily traffic and identify violators.He said the project is still under negotiation and review before the contractor can turn the project over to the City Government. He said the City Government has around 80 intersections, 18 of which are part of Phase 1 of the modernization project, and another 27 will be included in the ongoing Phase 2 implementation.He stressed that discipline on the road not only ensures a smooth flow of traffic but it also lessens vehicular and road accidents. / EHP
