THE Supreme Court has required six respondents to provide their comments on the petition filed by dismissed Metropolitan Cebu Water District (MCWD) board members Ralph Sevilla, Augustus Pe Jr., and Cecilia Adlawan. However, two of the respondents are already deceased—the late Cebu City Mayor Edgardo Labella and the late Local Water Utilities Administration (LWUA) acting administrator Jeci Lapus. The other individuals who are still alive and respondents in the case are former interim MCWD BOD members Roberto San Andres, Eileen Dela Vega, and Cristina Marcelina. MCWD was also named as a respondent in the petition asking the SC to review the decision of a lower court favoring Labella’s decision to dismiss the services of then MCWD chairman Joel Mari Yu, then vice chairman Sevilla, then secretary Adlawan, and then members Procopio Fernandez and Pe in 2019. The SC instructed the respondents to file a comment and not a motion to dismiss the petition.Amando Virgil Ligutan, counsel for petitioners Sevilla, Pe and Adlawan, said in a phone interview Sunday, March 31, 2024, that they welcomed the development, saying this means that the SC “takes cognizance of the case.”A petition for review on certiorari is a document that a losing party of the case files with the SC asking it to review the decision of a lower court.“After deliberating on the petition for review on certiorari, assailing the Decision dated June 30, 2023 and Order dated August 15, 2023 of the Regional Trial Court, Branch 17, Cebu City in Civil Case No. R-CEB-19-09477-CV, the Court, without necessarily giving due course thereto, resolves to require: 1. respondents to file a comment thereon, not a motion to dismiss, within ten (10) days from notice,” reads a portion of the notice from the SC.The notice was issued through a resolution dated Jan. 31, 2024, which the SaLiGal Law Office, where Ligutan’s works, received on March 26.BackgroundLabella in October 2019 terminated the services of Yu, then vice chairman Sevilla, Adlawan, Fernandez and Pe due to dissatisfaction among consumers with their performance. Labella cited the loss of trust and confidence as the reason for their removal. Pe, Sevilla and Adlawan were appointed by former mayor Tomas Osmeña. In November 2019, Sevilla, Pe and Adlawan filed a petition for a temporary restraining order (TRO) and injunction case against Labella and other LWUA officials. They argued that Labella’s act of terminating them had been done “without any valid cause and due process.”In March 2021, Sevilla, Pe and Adlawan were reinstated by a 20-day TRO issued by RTC Branch 7 Judge James Steward Himalaloan.However, the injunction case was dismissed on June 30, 2023, for lack of merit. Sevilla, Pe and Adlawan then filed a motion for reconsideration, which the RTC denied on Aug. 6, 2023.On Aug. 31, 2023, Sevilla, Pe and Adlawan filed a 78-page petition for review before the SC. Deceased respondentsSince former mayor Labella has already passed away, the court would inquire whether the successor plans to continue the actions of his predecessor.Labella passed away on Nov. 19, 2021, while Lapus died on July 11, of the same year.Cebu City Mayor Michael Rama, Labella’s successor, however, already filed a manifestation in court through the City Legal Office, in 2022, saying that he does not intend to continue Labella’s actions.“He (Rama) is agreeing with Sevilla, Pe and Adlawan,” Ligutan said.However, the development in this case may also affect Rama’s firing of MCWD chairman Jose Daluz III and two other board members.Implications Ligutan said the recent development will resolve the issue surrounding MCWD, explaining if the SC agrees with the petitioners that a mayor cannot terminate the BODs, then Labella’s action will be deemed null and void.Asked if Sevilla, Pe and Adlawan will be reinstated if the SC agrees with the petitioners, Ligutan said his clients are not after the positions, saying they do not need the job.Ligutan said Sevilla’s term has already ended while the case is pending; meanwhile, Pe’s and Adlawan’s terms will end in December 2024.The legal counsel for LWUA and its officers is lawyer Ronald Guaren, while the Cebu City Legal Office represents the mayor.He added the ruling of the SC would also provide answers to the question of the authority of the mayor to terminate MCWD BOD members.Rama has issued an order removing Daluz, vice chairman Miguelito Pato and secretary Jodelyn May Seno from their positions. They did not honor the mayor’s order.They were replaced by Melquiades Feliciano, Aristotle Batuhan and Nelson Yuvallos. Lawyers Danilo Ortiz and Earl Bonachita also joined Rama’s appointed board.However, to investigate issues surrounding MCWD, particularly on the recent Commission on Audit findings, LWUA decided to take partial intervention of MCWD’s policy-making authority for six months.LWUA administrator Jose Moises Salonga announced on March 15, the installation of LWUA officers, specifically members of the interim MCWD BODs, including Maria Rosan Perez, Noel Samonte and Anabelle Gravador, overseen by LWUA deputy administrator Dela Vega. / AML, WBS What is the most profitable way to bet? Philippines POWER distribution utility firm Visayan Electric is calling for more of its commercial and industrial customers to enrol in the Interruptible Load Program (ILP) to lessen the impact of possible power shortages on the Visayas Grid.ILP is a voluntary, demand-side management program where business customers of a distribution utility with usage of at least one megawatt per day, sign an agreement that they will run their own generator sets for particular hours in a day when the power supply in the grid will not be enough for the power demand.Increasing the ILP capacity ensures a reduced duration and frequency of rotating brownouts should there be a power shortage.“We need to increase our ILP capacity now that there are frequent yellow and red alerts from the National Grid Corp. of the Philippines (NGCP). Temperatures are very high, and as much as possible, we want to avoid having to implement manual load dropping or at least lessen the duration and frequency so that our customers will not be inconvenienced,” said Visayan Electric president and chief operating officer Raul Lucero in a statement.As of 2023, industrial and commercial firms made up 36.86 percent and 18.10 percent of Visayan Electric’s energy sales, respectively. Residential had energy sales share of 43.87 percent. The NGCP has been issuing yellow and red alerts in the Visayas Grid due to supply concerns following the forced outage, derated capacities of several power plants in the grid, as well as the increase in demand because of the extreme heat that the country is experiencing. Red alertOn Wednesday, April 24, 2024, the NGCP placed the Visayas Grid on red and yellow alerts. Red alerts were raised from noon to 5 p.m. and 6 to 8 p.m., and yellow alerts from 10 a.m. to noon, 5 to 6 p.m. and 8 to 9 p.m. due to a thin power supply.Wednesday’s peak demand was projected at 2,525 megawatts (MW) with an available capacity of 2,462 MW.In a statement, NGCP said one power plant was on forced outage since 2022, two plants since 2023, two plants between January and March 2024, and 15 plants since April 2024. Eight plants are running on derated capacities, for a total of 621.6 MW unavailable to the grid.The transmission firm added that the reduced capacity exported by Mindanao to the Visayas aggravated the power situation in the Visayas. Red alerts are issued when the power supply is insufficient to meet consumer demand and the transmission grid’s regulating requirement. Yellow alerts are issued when the operating margin is insufficient to meet the transmission grid’s contingency requirement.Business response Cebu Chamber of Commerce and Industry president Jay Yuvallos echoed the Visayan Electric’s call for large power consumers to participate in the ILP. “We are hoping that this will prevent power interruptions that will have serious effects on productivity and or production of our micro, small and medium enterprises,” said Yuvallos.Mark Anthony Ynoc, president of the Mandaue Chamber of Commerce and Industry (MCCI), said MCCI member companies are willing to participate in the ILP if requested “since this program is a needed palliative to the current challenges we are facing and it will mitigate the negative effects, especially to the industrial sector.”“We just need to be educated more on the mechanics and how we can fully take advantage of the whole arrangement,” Ynoc said. Entrepreneur Steven Yu said while the cost of running their own generator sets will vary depending on the size and type of the units, it is generally similar to the costs of buying power from Visayan Electric.The cost of running a generator set also depends on fuel costs.“However, the participants of the ILP are willing to do it for the greater good of the community. From a macro scale, avoiding blackouts augurs well for the general economy and is advantageous to businesses,” he said. ILP participants In May 2023, four major industry operators in the Visayan Electric franchise area signed up for an ILP partnership, namely SM Prime Holdings, Radisson Blu Hotel Cebu, J. King and Sons Company Inc. (Club Ultima) and Lucky Group Management and Development Corp (Gaisano Country Mall).The strategic partnership boosted the ILP capacity of Visayan Electric to 23 MW.Visayan Electric last implemented the ILP in 2015 when there was a power supply concern after a generating plant’s emergency shutdown. There were 28 business customers who enrolled with the ILP at that time, with a total 68 MW in power requirement.Lucero said previous ILP activations had averted brownouts from affecting hundreds of thousands of Cebu households.Companies that participate in the ILP will be compensated for their actual variable charges incurred (i.e., fuel cost) plus a certain margin, as will be agreed upon by the participating company and the distribution utility.

However, more municipalities have followed suit in suspending face-to-face classes and encouraging a shift to the online or modular mode of learning. As of 4:20 p.m. Thursday, these were the municipalities and the periods of suspension:- Poro (April 4-5, public and private schools, all levels);- Asturias (April 4, 1 p.m. - April 12, all public schools);- Badian (April 4-19, public schools, pre-elementary to senior high);- Tuburan (April 4-5, public and private schools, elementary and secondary levels);- Tabogon (April 4-6, public and private schools, all levels);- Balamban (April 4 12 noon – until further notice, public schools, pre-school to senior high);- Sibonga (April 4-12, all public schools);- Medellin (April 4-12, public and private schools, pre-school to senior high);- Compostela (April 5-12, public and private schools, pre-school to senior high);-San Remigio (April 5, public schools, elementary and secondary levels);- Tabuelan (April 4-5, public schools, all levels)These LGUs will implement modular learning where learners have self-learning modules, either in print or digital format, that is usually implemented for those living in rural areas or provinces with intermittent internet connection.Mandaue City is the lone LGU that is implementing a blended learning approach.In Cebu City, Mayor Michael Rama announced Thursday that he would issue an executive order moving the time of classes in school to 6 to 11 a.m. only.According to the Cebu City Public Information Office, Rama said he would leave the school heads in the city to decide on the suspension of face-to-face classes due to the heat as he had already issued Executive Order 1 in August 2022, authorizing them to declare class suspensions amid calamities and weather disturbances.Cebu Normal University in Cebu City announced that classes for the Integrated Laboratory School, college and graduate school including in its external campuses in Balamban and Medellin towns would use the online modality on April 4-12.Blended learningMayor Jonas Cortes issued Executive Order 18 on Wednesday in response to the rising heat index, which has been disrupting the conducive learning environment for students attending face-to-face classes.They will adopt blended learning in public schools from daycare, and kindergarten to senior high school starting Thursday, April 4, until the end of the month.Blended learning combines traditional face-to-face teaching with online instruction. This means that physical classes will continue with adjustments for student safety and comfort during the dry hot season. “It was recommended that a shift from full face-to-face classes to a blended learning mode of partial face-to-face and modular mode would be the best course of action in all public schools in Mandaue City as a precautionary action to the increasing heat index,” Cortes said.The mayor said schools will categorize and divide classes into two groups or sets of students to ensure proper ventilation, spacing, and prevent overcrowding, which may worsen the effects of high temperatures.Set A learners will attend face-to-face classes from 6 to 11 a.m. on Monday and Wednesday, while Set B learners will do the same but on Tuesday and Thursday, with the modular mode to be used thereafter. Meanwhile, Friday will be allotted to students who will need intervention or further help from the teacher.The City added that blended learning will also be applied to daycare students.SuspensionDirector Salustiano Jimenez of the Department of Education Central Visayas (DepEd 7) told SunStar Cebu on Wednesday that these LGUs possess the authority to suspend face-to-face classes similar to the procedures during typhoons and other calamities. Additionally, aside from local chief executives, Jimenez said in a prior interview that both public and private school administrators also have discretion and authorization to transition to modular classes.According to DepEd Order 37 of 2022, such decisions are permitted “in cases of unfavorable weather and environment, such as, but not limited to extremely high temperatures.”Heat indexBased on the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration’s (Pagasa) heat index database, Cebu will reach 37 degrees Celsius on Thursday and a higher 38 degrees Celsius on Friday, April 5.Both figures fall under Pagasa’s extreme caution category, meaning heat cramps and heat exhaustion are possible, and further activity may result in a heatstroke.SunStar Cebu previously reported that the heat index in Cebu could potentially reach a “dangerous” 51 degrees Celsius in the coming months, leading to heat cramps, exhaustion and potentially heatstroke with prolonged outdoor exposure. Weather specialist Jhomer Eclarino of Pagasa Visayas attributed the increase in the heat index to the El Niño phenomenon and the ongoing dry, hot summer. He said historical data from Pagasa indicates Cebu typically experiences its highest temperatures in May. On May 31, 2010, during the El Niño phenomenon, the province recorded a surface temperature of 37 degrees Celsius, coinciding with its highest heat index in history of 49 degrees Celsius.

POWER distribution utility firm Visayan Electric is calling for more of its commercial and industrial customers to enrol in the Interruptible Load Program (ILP) to lessen the impact of possible power shortages on the Visayas Grid.ILP is a voluntary, demand-side management program where business customers of a distribution utility with usage of at least one megawatt per day, sign an agreement that they will run their own generator sets for particular hours in a day when the power supply in the grid will not be enough for the power demand.Increasing the ILP capacity ensures a reduced duration and frequency of rotating brownouts should there be a power shortage.“We need to increase our ILP capacity now that there are frequent yellow and red alerts from the National Grid Corp. of the Philippines (NGCP). Temperatures are very high, and as much as possible, we want to avoid having to implement manual load dropping or at least lessen the duration and frequency so that our customers will not be inconvenienced,” said Visayan Electric president and chief operating officer Raul Lucero in a statement.As of 2023, industrial and commercial firms made up 36.86 percent and 18.10 percent of Visayan Electric’s energy sales, respectively. Residential had energy sales share of 43.87 percent. The NGCP has been issuing yellow and red alerts in the Visayas Grid due to supply concerns following the forced outage, derated capacities of several power plants in the grid, as well as the increase in demand because of the extreme heat that the country is experiencing. Red alertOn Wednesday, April 24, 2024, the NGCP placed the Visayas Grid on red and yellow alerts. Red alerts were raised from noon to 5 p.m. and 6 to 8 p.m., and yellow alerts from 10 a.m. to noon, 5 to 6 p.m. and 8 to 9 p.m. due to a thin power supply.Wednesday’s peak demand was projected at 2,525 megawatts (MW) with an available capacity of 2,462 MW.In a statement, NGCP said one power plant was on forced outage since 2022, two plants since 2023, two plants between January and March 2024, and 15 plants since April 2024. Eight plants are running on derated capacities, for a total of 621.6 MW unavailable to the grid.The transmission firm added that the reduced capacity exported by Mindanao to the Visayas aggravated the power situation in the Visayas. Red alerts are issued when the power supply is insufficient to meet consumer demand and the transmission grid’s regulating requirement. Yellow alerts are issued when the operating margin is insufficient to meet the transmission grid’s contingency requirement.Business response Cebu Chamber of Commerce and Industry president Jay Yuvallos echoed the Visayan Electric’s call for large power consumers to participate in the ILP. “We are hoping that this will prevent power interruptions that will have serious effects on productivity and or production of our micro, small and medium enterprises,” said Yuvallos.Mark Anthony Ynoc, president of the Mandaue Chamber of Commerce and Industry (MCCI), said MCCI member companies are willing to participate in the ILP if requested “since this program is a needed palliative to the current challenges we are facing and it will mitigate the negative effects, especially to the industrial sector.”“We just need to be educated more on the mechanics and how we can fully take advantage of the whole arrangement,” Ynoc said. Entrepreneur Steven Yu said while the cost of running their own generator sets will vary depending on the size and type of the units, it is generally similar to the costs of buying power from Visayan Electric.The cost of running a generator set also depends on fuel costs.“However, the participants of the ILP are willing to do it for the greater good of the community. From a macro scale, avoiding blackouts augurs well for the general economy and is advantageous to businesses,” he said. ILP participants In May 2023, four major industry operators in the Visayan Electric franchise area signed up for an ILP partnership, namely SM Prime Holdings, Radisson Blu Hotel Cebu, J. King and Sons Company Inc. (Club Ultima) and Lucky Group Management and Development Corp (Gaisano Country Mall).The strategic partnership boosted the ILP capacity of Visayan Electric to 23 MW.Visayan Electric last implemented the ILP in 2015 when there was a power supply concern after a generating plant’s emergency shutdown. There were 28 business customers who enrolled with the ILP at that time, with a total 68 MW in power requirement.Lucero said previous ILP activations had averted brownouts from affecting hundreds of thousands of Cebu households.Companies that participate in the ILP will be compensated for their actual variable charges incurred (i.e., fuel cost) plus a certain margin, as will be agreed upon by the participating company and the distribution utility.

THE Supreme Court has required six respondents to provide their comments on the petition filed by dismissed Metropolitan Cebu Water District (MCWD) board members Ralph Sevilla, Augustus Pe Jr., and Cecilia Adlawan. However, two of the respondents are already deceased—the late Cebu City Mayor Edgardo Labella and the late Local Water Utilities Administration (LWUA) acting administrator Jeci Lapus. The other individuals who are still alive and respondents in the case are former interim MCWD BOD members Roberto San Andres, Eileen Dela Vega, and Cristina Marcelina. MCWD was also named as a respondent in the petition asking the SC to review the decision of a lower court favoring Labella’s decision to dismiss the services of then MCWD chairman Joel Mari Yu, then vice chairman Sevilla, then secretary Adlawan, and then members Procopio Fernandez and Pe in 2019. The SC instructed the respondents to file a comment and not a motion to dismiss the petition.Amando Virgil Ligutan, counsel for petitioners Sevilla, Pe and Adlawan, said in a phone interview Sunday, March 31, 2024, that they welcomed the development, saying this means that the SC “takes cognizance of the case.”A petition for review on certiorari is a document that a losing party of the case files with the SC asking it to review the decision of a lower court.“After deliberating on the petition for review on certiorari, assailing the Decision dated June 30, 2023 and Order dated August 15, 2023 of the Regional Trial Court, Branch 17, Cebu City in Civil Case No. R-CEB-19-09477-CV, the Court, without necessarily giving due course thereto, resolves to require: 1. respondents to file a comment thereon, not a motion to dismiss, within ten (10) days from notice,” reads a portion of the notice from the SC.The notice was issued through a resolution dated Jan. 31, 2024, which the SaLiGal Law Office, where Ligutan’s works, received on March 26.BackgroundLabella in October 2019 terminated the services of Yu, then vice chairman Sevilla, Adlawan, Fernandez and Pe due to dissatisfaction among consumers with their performance. Labella cited the loss of trust and confidence as the reason for their removal. Pe, Sevilla and Adlawan were appointed by former mayor Tomas Osmeña. In November 2019, Sevilla, Pe and Adlawan filed a petition for a temporary restraining order (TRO) and injunction case against Labella and other LWUA officials. They argued that Labella’s act of terminating them had been done “without any valid cause and due process.”In March 2021, Sevilla, Pe and Adlawan were reinstated by a 20-day TRO issued by RTC Branch 7 Judge James Steward Himalaloan.However, the injunction case was dismissed on June 30, 2023, for lack of merit.

However, more municipalities have followed suit in suspending face-to-face classes and encouraging a shift to the online or modular mode of learning. As of 4:20 p.m. Thursday, these were the municipalities and the periods of suspension:- Poro (April 4-5, public and private schools, all levels);- Asturias (April 4, 1 p.m. - April 12, all public schools);- Badian (April 4-19, public schools, pre-elementary to senior high);- Tuburan (April 4-5, public and private schools, elementary and secondary levels);- Tabogon (April 4-6, public and private schools, all levels);- Balamban (April 4 12 noon – until further notice, public schools, pre-school to senior high);- Sibonga (April 4-12, all public schools);- Medellin (April 4-12, public and private schools, pre-school to senior high);- Compostela (April 5-12, public and private schools, pre-school to senior high);-San Remigio (April 5, public schools, elementary and secondary levels);- Tabuelan (April 4-5, public schools, all levels)These LGUs will implement modular learning where learners have self-learning modules, either in print or digital format, that is usually implemented for those living in rural areas or provinces with intermittent internet connection.Mandaue City is the lone LGU that is implementing a blended learning approach.In Cebu City, Mayor Michael Rama announced Thursday that he would issue an executive order moving the time of classes in school to 6 to 11 a.m. only.According to the Cebu City Public Information Office, Rama said he would leave the school heads in the city to decide on the suspension of face-to-face classes due to the heat as he had already issued Executive Order 1 in August 2022, authorizing them to declare class suspensions amid calamities and weather disturbances.Cebu Normal University in Cebu City announced that classes for the Integrated Laboratory School, college and graduate school including in its external campuses in Balamban and Medellin towns would use the online modality on April 4-12.Blended learningMayor Jonas Cortes issued Executive Order 18 on Wednesday in response to the rising heat index, which has been disrupting the conducive learning environment for students attending face-to-face classes.They will adopt blended learning in public schools from daycare, and kindergarten to senior high school starting Thursday, April 4, until the end of the month.Blended learning combines traditional face-to-face teaching with online instruction. This means that physical classes will continue with adjustments for student safety and comfort during the dry hot season. “It was recommended that a shift from full face-to-face classes to a blended learning mode of partial face-to-face and modular mode would be the best course of action in all public schools in Mandaue City as a precautionary action to the increasing heat index,” Cortes said.The mayor said schools will categorize and divide classes into two groups or sets of students to ensure proper ventilation, spacing, and prevent overcrowding, which may worsen the effects of high temperatures.Set A learners will attend face-to-face classes from 6 to 11 a.m. on Monday and Wednesday, while Set B learners will do the same but on Tuesday and Thursday, with the modular mode to be used thereafter. Meanwhile, Friday will be allotted to students who will need intervention or further help from the teacher.The City added that blended learning will also be applied to daycare students.SuspensionDirector Salustiano Jimenez of the Department of Education Central Visayas (DepEd 7) told SunStar Cebu on Wednesday that these LGUs possess the authority to suspend face-to-face classes similar to the procedures during typhoons and other calamities. Additionally, aside from local chief executives, Jimenez said in a prior interview that both public and private school administrators also have discretion and authorization to transition to modular classes.According to DepEd Order 37 of 2022, such decisions are permitted “in cases of unfavorable weather and environment, such as, but not limited to extremely high temperatures.”Heat indexBased on the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration’s (Pagasa) heat index database, Cebu will reach 37 degrees Celsius on Thursday and a higher 38 degrees Celsius on Friday, April 5.Both figures fall under Pagasa’s extreme caution category, meaning heat cramps and heat exhaustion are possible, and further activity may result in a heatstroke.SunStar Cebu previously reported that the heat index in Cebu could potentially reach a “dangerous” 51 degrees Celsius in the coming months, leading to heat cramps, exhaustion and potentially heatstroke with prolonged outdoor exposure. Weather specialist Jhomer Eclarino of Pagasa Visayas attributed the increase in the heat index to the El Niño phenomenon and the ongoing dry, hot summer. He said historical data from Pagasa indicates Cebu typically experiences its highest temperatures in May. On May 31, 2010, during the El Niño phenomenon, the province recorded a surface temperature of 37 degrees Celsius, coinciding with its highest heat index in history of 49 degrees Celsius.
