CEBU City Mayor Michael Rama has declared a state of water crisis in the city due to the effects of the El Niño phenomenon.“I will now declare a crisis on water. I declare a crisis now. Convene dayon ta (We will convene immediately),” Rama said in a press conference on Monday, April 1, 2024.He instructed City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office head Harold Alcontin to call an emergency meeting with his appointed Metropolitan Cebu Water District (MCWD) board of directors led by chairman Melquiades Feliciano, former environment secretary and Task Force Gubat sa Baha chairman Roy Cimatu and city councilors to address the dwindling water supply due to the impacts of El Niño.Rama also invited all concerned departments and agencies of the City Government, excluding the removed MCWD board members led by Jose Daluz III.He urged council members to be involved in answering the concerns and impact of the weather phenomenon after they placed 28 mountain barangays under a state of calamity through an approved resolution.Meanwhile, the mayor said they have been preparing for the El Niño since March 2023.AssuranceDuring the press conference, Rama assured there are enough sources of water, but the City needs to come up with practical approaches with regard to piping, impounding and building gabion dams.In a phone interview on Monday, Daluz said the water district has provided mobile siphon tanks in Cebu City, particularly in mountain barangays, including Bonbon, Sinsin and Cambinocot.Daluz said the siphon tanks are capable of discharging 10,000 cubic meters of potable water per hour to the community.Daluz said they have conducted meetings in mountain barangays, informing the community about the installation of the tanks, where residents can get water starting Wednesday, April 3.He said MCWD provided the equipment and the operators, while the City Government provided the gas and security for the equipment.He said they tried to rent water tankers, but no one was willing to go to the mountain barangays due to the weight of the water.He said they will deploy water tankers in the lowlands, while siphon tanks will provide water in the uplands.DesalinationAs the water crisis continues, Dauz hopes that MCWD’s water desalination projects will become operational as soon as possible.MCWD has desalination projects in the cities of Cebu and Mandaue and in the town of Cordova.Daluz said the Cebu City Government has yet to provide the water district with permits for pipe laying and excavations. / AML What online casino games are available to play? Philippines AS THE April 30 consolidation deadline looms, the Cebu-based traditional public utility jeepney (TPUJ) operators group has slammed the slow consolidation process under the Public Utility Vehicle (PUV) Modernization Program, saying operators should not be blamed for not making the deadline.On Tuesday, April 9, 2024, Pagkakaisa ng mga Samahan ng Tsuper at Opereytor Nationwide (Piston)-Cebu president Greg Perez told SunStar Cebu that he has some members who have applied for the mandatory franchise consolidation since 2019 who have remained in the “application process” under the system of the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board Central Visayas (LTFRB 7).Perez said these operators are in limbo, unable to tell what went wrong with their applications and who to blame for their situation.So is it the fault of the transport cooperative or the LTFRB, he asked. On Monday, April 8, LTFRB Chairman Teofilo Guadiz III called on jeepney operators and drivers to work on their consolidation into cooperatives before the April 30 deadline set by President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. passes, saying there will be no more extension of the deadline. “Nanulod sila og kooperatiba (sa) 2019 pa, pero ang problema kay naa lang gihapon sila nakasulod sa kooperatiba, pero wala pa sila ma-consolidate tungod nagtipun-og lang ang ilahang papel diha sa mga opisina sa cooperative,” Perez said. (They joined cooperatives in 2019 yet, but the problem is they are still in the cooperative, but they have not yet consolidated because the papers are just piling up in the office of the cooperatives.) He added that the Federation of Cebu Transport Cooperatives (FCTC) reported that it had consolidated 4,000 operators; however, upon their verification, they found the number to be only around 1,000. There were times the cooperatives asked for membership fees from the operators for them to be acknowledged as members and to be part of the consolidation, Perez said. “Problema kita sa pag-abot sa petsa (April) 30 sa atong mga operators nga dugay nang nisulod sa kooperatiba. Kinsay may pakisad-on ani? Ang operator pa ba gihapon sa panahon nga manakop na ang LTO (Land Transportation Office)? Ang LTFRB, ang operator ra gihapon nga wala nag-consolidate,” Perez said. (Our operators who have long joined cooperatives will have a problem when April 30 comes. Who will be considered at fault here? Will it still be the operator when the LTO begins making apprehensions? For the LTFRB, it will still be the operator, for not consolidating.)“Ang mga kooperatiba ug ang LTFRB man ang nalangay, ang nadugay. Mao unta toh gusto namo (ihangyo) nga ipagawas ang kamanduan ang LTFRB 7 nga dili panakpon ang mga nag-consolidate pa niadtong 2019 kay among tan-aw, dili sayop sa operator,” he added. (It’s the cooperatives and the LTFRB that have delayed things. That is why we wanted to request the release by LTFRB of an order not to apprehend those who attempted to consolidate since 2019 yet because the way we see it, it’s not the operators’ fault.)Once the April 30 deadline lapses, unconsolidated traditional jeepney operators will be designated as illegally operating their vehicles. Perez said there were times when these operators had to constantly follow up on and visit the offices of the cooperatives and the LTFRB 7, which forced the cooperatives and the LTFRB 7 to expedite the process, and yet many operators have not seen their consolidation, especially those who applied in 2019. He added that the LTFRB issued too late a memorandum allowing operators to withdraw their application from cooperatives with questionable processing time of application. Scrap modernizationOn the other hand, Perez said Piston-Cebu’s call remains, particularly for the government to scrap the PUV Modernization Program as it will eventually result in a total jeepney phaseout as they would be forced to give up their franchises and vehicles in exchange for buying what he called imported, expensive, non-sustainable and frail vehicles.The current modernization program must be replaced with a new program that is more responsive and balances the needs of the riding public and the transport sector, including the traditional PUJ operators and drivers.In a statement on Monday, LTFRB Chairman Guadiz said the agency would revoke the franchises of those who don’t meet the consolidation deadline.“We will revoke those franchises, and we will only be allowing those who have consolidated to ply the routes of Metro Manila,” Guadiz said in the statement.The Monday statement did not mention the routes outside Metro Manila and what would happen to operators who failed to meet the consolidation deadline in these parts.Last January, President Marcos extended the consolidation deadline for public utility vehicles to April 30.Under the PUV Modernization Program, the approval of the provisional authority for franchise is contingent upon jeepney drivers operating under a cooperative. The drivers would have to give up their individual franchises. A cooperative must have at least 10 members.It’s the eighth time that the consolidation deadline has been extended since 2017, Transportation Secretary Jaime Bautista said last January when the April 30 deadline was announced.At that time, only around 67 percent of PUVs, UV Express units, mini-buses and public utility buses in the country had undergone consolidation. The three-month extension to April aims to raise those figures to 85 percent. / with CTL

CEBU and nine other provinces in the Visayas are now experiencing drought due to the ongoing El Niño phenomenon, the state weather bureau said.Weather specialist Jhomer Eclarino of the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) Visayas said the El Niño has transitioned from being strong and mature to moderate.Although it is “weakening,” its effects will still be felt in the next two months, he said during a news forum on Tuesday, March 26, 2024.According to Pagasa, El Niño elevates sea-surface temperatures, influencing global weather patterns by altering precipitation, temperature and atmospheric circulation. This ultimately leads to decreased rainfall.The weather agency said 10 provinces in the Visayas, including Cebu, are under drought. The other provinces are Antique, Biliran, Eastern Samar, Guimaras, Iloilo, Leyte, Negros Oriental, Negros Occidental and Samar.Climactic periodsMeanwhile, Bohol, Capiz, Northern Samar and Southern Leyte are under a dry spell. Only Aklan is under dry conditions.The climatic periods are categorized based on the recorded rainfall compared to normal levels in the respective provinces. Eclarino said dry conditions occur with two consecutive months of below-normal rainfall, while a dry spell is indicated by three successive months of below-normal rainfall or two consecutive months of significantly below-normal levels. He said drought is classified as an extended dry condition, either with five consecutive months of below-normal rainfall or three months of significantly below-normal rainfall. Pagasa previously defined below-normal rainfall as 20 to 60 percent less than the usual amount, while way-below-normal rainfall indicates more than a 60 percent decrease from the norm.Eclarino advised the public to practice water conservation due to continuing decreased rainfall.He said that on average every March, Cebu’s rainfall is recorded at 60.9 millimeters. However, this year, it is only at 9.8 millimeters, which translates to an 84 percent reduction.“Dagko atong kakulangan sa ulan sa (We have a big rainfall shortage in) Cebu Province,” he said. Production declineEarlier this month, the Metropolitan Cebu Water District (MCWD) experienced a critical decline in its surface water facility, losing approximately 29,000 cubic meters per day as a result of the ongoing El Niño phenomenon. In Jaclupan in Talisay City and in the mountain barangay of Lusaran in Cebu City, water production decreased to 20,000 from 30,000 cubic meters, while at the Buhisan Dam, production dropped to 4,000 from 6,000 cubic meters. Normally, MCWD produces 301,000 cubic meters, but due to these circumstances, production has decreased to 272,000 cubic meters.MCWD is a water utility firm whose franchise area covers the cities of Cebu, Mandaue, Lapu-Lapu and Talisay, and the towns of Cordova, Consolacion, Liloan and Compostela.Eclarino urged the public to brace for the intense heat expected this Holy Week, with the heat index ranging from 38 to 41 degrees Celsius. He said this is classified under the category of extreme caution, suggesting that heat cramps and heat exhaustion are possible, and further activity may result in heatstroke. The heat index or “feels-like” temperature combines air temperature and humidity to indicate how hot the weather would feel to the human body.Eclarino advised the public to avoid staying outdoors between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., especially during peak hours when the highest heat index is felt. / KJF

Kinsay may pakisad-on ani? Ang operator pa ba gihapon sa panahon nga manakop na ang LTO (Land Transportation Office)? Ang LTFRB, ang operator ra gihapon nga wala nag-consolidate,” Perez said. (Our operators who have long joined cooperatives will have a problem when April 30 comes. Who will be considered at fault here? Will it still be the operator when the LTO begins making apprehensions? For the LTFRB, it will still be the operator, for not consolidating.)“Ang mga kooperatiba ug ang LTFRB man ang nalangay, ang nadugay. Mao unta toh gusto namo (ihangyo) nga ipagawas ang kamanduan ang LTFRB 7 nga dili panakpon ang mga nag-consolidate pa niadtong 2019 kay among tan-aw, dili sayop sa operator,” he added. (It’s the cooperatives and the LTFRB that have delayed things. That is why we wanted to request the release by LTFRB of an order not to apprehend those who attempted to consolidate since 2019 yet because the way we see it, it’s not the operators’ fault.)Once the April 30 deadline lapses, unconsolidated traditional jeepney operators will be designated as illegally operating their vehicles. Perez said there were times when these operators had to constantly follow up on and visit the offices of the cooperatives and the LTFRB 7, which forced the cooperatives and the LTFRB 7 to expedite the process, and yet many operators have not seen their consolidation, especially those who applied in 2019. He added that the LTFRB issued too late a memorandum allowing operators to withdraw their application from cooperatives with questionable processing time of application. Scrap modernizationOn the other hand, Perez said Piston-Cebu’s call remains, particularly for the government to scrap the PUV Modernization Program as it will eventually result in a total jeepney phaseout as they would be forced to give up their franchises and vehicles in exchange for buying what he called imported, expensive, non-sustainable and frail vehicles.The current modernization program must be replaced with a new program that is more responsive and balances the needs of the riding public and the transport sector, including the traditional PUJ operators and drivers.In a statement on Monday, LTFRB Chairman Guadiz said the agency would revoke the franchises of those who don’t meet the consolidation deadline.“We will revoke those franchises, and we will only be allowing those who have consolidated to ply the routes of Metro Manila,” Guadiz said in the statement.The Monday statement did not mention the routes outside Metro Manila and what would happen to operators who failed to meet the consolidation deadline in these parts.Last January, President Marcos extended the consolidation deadline for public utility vehicles to April 30.Under the PUV Modernization Program, the approval of the provisional authority for franchise is contingent upon jeepney drivers operating under a cooperative. The drivers would have to give up their individual franchises. A cooperative must have at least 10 members.It’s the eighth time that the consolidation deadline has been extended since 2017, Transportation Secretary Jaime Bautista said last January when the April 30 deadline was announced.At that time, only around 67 percent of PUVs, UV Express units, mini-buses and public utility buses in the country had undergone consolidation. The three-month extension to April aims to raise those figures to 85 percent. / with CTL licensed online casinos CEBU and nine other provinces in the Visayas are now experiencing drought due to the ongoing El Niño phenomenon, the state weather bureau said.Weather specialist Jhomer Eclarino of the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) Visayas said the El Niño has transitioned from being strong and mature to moderate.Although it is “weakening,” its effects will still be felt in the next two months, he said during a news forum on Tuesday, March 26, 2024.According to Pagasa, El Niño elevates sea-surface temperatures, influencing global weather patterns by altering precipitation, temperature and atmospheric circulation. This ultimately leads to decreased rainfall.The weather agency said 10 provinces in the Visayas, including Cebu, are under drought. The other provinces are Antique, Biliran, Eastern Samar, Guimaras, Iloilo, Leyte, Negros Oriental, Negros Occidental and Samar.Climactic periodsMeanwhile, Bohol, Capiz, Northern Samar and Southern Leyte are under a dry spell. Only Aklan is under dry conditions.The climatic periods are categorized based on the recorded rainfall compared to normal levels in the respective provinces. Eclarino said dry conditions occur with two consecutive months of below-normal rainfall, while a dry spell is indicated by three successive months of below-normal rainfall or two consecutive months of significantly below-normal levels. He said drought is classified as an extended dry condition, either with five consecutive months of below-normal rainfall or three months of significantly below-normal rainfall. Pagasa previously defined below-normal rainfall as 20 to 60 percent less than the usual amount, while way-below-normal rainfall indicates more than a 60 percent decrease from the norm.Eclarino advised the public to practice water conservation due to continuing decreased rainfall.He said that on average every March, Cebu’s rainfall is recorded at 60.9 millimeters. However, this year, it is only at 9.8 millimeters, which translates to an 84 percent reduction.“Dagko atong kakulangan sa ulan sa (We have a big rainfall shortage in) Cebu Province,” he said. Production declineEarlier this month, the Metropolitan Cebu Water District (MCWD) experienced a critical decline in its surface water facility, losing approximately 29,000 cubic meters per day as a result of the ongoing El Niño phenomenon. In Jaclupan in Talisay City and in the mountain barangay of Lusaran in Cebu City, water production decreased to 20,000 from 30,000 cubic meters, while at the Buhisan Dam, production dropped to 4,000 from 6,000 cubic meters. Normally, MCWD produces 301,000 cubic meters, but due to these circumstances, production has decreased to 272,000 cubic meters.MCWD is a water utility firm whose franchise area covers the cities of Cebu, Mandaue, Lapu-Lapu and Talisay, and the towns of Cordova, Consolacion, Liloan and Compostela.Eclarino urged the public to brace for the intense heat expected this Holy Week, with the heat index ranging from 38 to 41 degrees Celsius. He said this is classified under the category of extreme caution, suggesting that heat cramps and heat exhaustion are possible, and further activity may result in heatstroke. The heat index or “feels-like” temperature combines air temperature and humidity to indicate how hot the weather would feel to the human body.Eclarino advised the public to avoid staying outdoors between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., especially during peak hours when the highest heat index is felt. / KJF

AS THE April 30 consolidation deadline looms, the Cebu-based traditional public utility jeepney (TPUJ) operators group has slammed the slow consolidation process under the Public Utility Vehicle (PUV) Modernization Program, saying operators should not be blamed for not making the deadline.On Tuesday, April 9, 2024, Pagkakaisa ng mga Samahan ng Tsuper at Opereytor Nationwide (Piston)-Cebu president Greg Perez told SunStar Cebu that he has some members who have applied for the mandatory franchise consolidation since 2019 who have remained in the “application process” under the system of the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board Central Visayas (LTFRB 7).Perez said these operators are in limbo, unable to tell what went wrong with their applications and who to blame for their situation.So is it the fault of the transport cooperative or the LTFRB, he asked. On Monday, April 8, LTFRB Chairman Teofilo Guadiz III called on jeepney operators and drivers to work on their consolidation into cooperatives before the April 30 deadline set by President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. passes, saying there will be no more extension of the deadline. “Nanulod sila og kooperatiba (sa) 2019 pa, pero ang problema kay naa lang gihapon sila nakasulod sa kooperatiba, pero wala pa sila ma-consolidate tungod nagtipun-og lang ang ilahang papel diha sa mga opisina sa cooperative,” Perez said. (They joined cooperatives in 2019 yet, but the problem is they are still in the cooperative, but they have not yet consolidated because the papers are just piling up in the office of the cooperatives.) He added that the Federation of Cebu Transport Cooperatives (FCTC) reported that it had consolidated 4,000 operators; however, upon their verification, they found the number to be only around 1,000. There were times the cooperatives asked for membership fees from the operators for them to be acknowledged as members and to be part of the consolidation, Perez said. “Problema kita sa pag-abot sa petsa (April) 30 sa atong mga operators nga dugay nang nisulod sa kooperatiba.
