SOME employees of the Metropolitan Cebu Water District (MCWD) have criticized general manager Edgar Donoso for his failure to address the non-revenue water (NRW) problem of the water district. “Donoso’s focus on expanding water supply without a comprehensive plan to address NRW demonstrates a lack of understanding of our true priorities,” according to anonymous employees in a letter sent to SunStar Cebu on Monday, April 1, 2024.The anonymous employees alleged that despite Donoso’s openness to suggestions, the water district’s problem with NRW remains unaddressed. They also criticized MCWD for failing to deliver a viable solution despite being aware of the impending effects of the El Niño weather phenomenon.NRW refers to the water produced and lost before reaching consumers. It can occur through physical losses due to leaks and damaged pipes; it also includes free water that the MCWD provides for firefighting purposes.To recall, the Commission on Audit in its 2021 report flagged MCWD for its NRW reaching 29.04 percent, which is over the acceptable maximum rate of only 20 percent.In previous statements, MCWD officials attributed the high NRW in 2021 to the impacts of Typhoon Odette (international name: Rai).MCWD officials said the water district had to deliver water to areas lacking water supply after the calamity. There were also instances where pipelines were damaged by heavy equipment used for drainage projects by various local government units.The anonymous employees, however, alleged that the NRW rates of MCWD had failed to see any significant improvement.Underlying motivesThe anonymous employees said the Pipelines and Appurtenances Maintenance Department and the Non-Revenue Division have been offering solutions to the NRW problem; however, Donoso allegedly favors supply-centric approaches.“Employees are left questioning the underlying motives behind these decisions. If Donoso’s leadership is indeed grounded in public service, why are areas such as Mambaling, Cebu City and Opao, Mandaue City still without running water, despite desalination projects initiated last year?” reads a portion of the letter.The employees said Donoso’s alleged failure to hold suppliers accountable for delays only exacerbates the problem.“Unity within MCWD remains elusive when decision-making power is concentrated in the hands of a select few. With over 800 employees, it is unacceptable for a single individual to dictate the fate of the entire water district,” the employees added.Bankruptcy The anonymous employees also doubted Donoso’s warnings of bankruptcy and privatization under the Local Water Utilities Administration (LWUA) and while they acknowledge Donoso’s skill in managing the water district’s finances during the Covid-19 pandemic, they worry that his focus on desalination instead of fixing NRW issues could harm the water district’s long-term viability.Effective March 15, LWUA assumed control of the MCWD board, suspending the board led by Jose Daluz III, for six months. This is to investigate the issues surrounding the water district, including its high NRW rate.SunStar Cebu tried to get the side of Donoso, but the general manager, through MCWD spokesperson Minerva Gerodias on April 1, said he would answer the allegations in due time, possibly within the week.Daluz has questioned LWUA’s authority to take over the MCWD board, and Donoso has sought the Office of the Government Corporate Counsel’s (OGCC) opinion on this. Last March 21, LWUA Chairman Ronnie Ong said LWUA and MCWD would wait for the OGCC’s opinion. / WBS What season is baseball played in the Dominican Republic? Philippines THE Cebu Provincial Board (PB) has expressed its opposition to the ongoing implementation of the Cebu Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) project in Cebu City. During its regular session on Monday, March 4, 2024, the PB passed a resolution calling for the project to be stopped, citing the inconvenience and negative effects it has brought not only to the constituents of Cebu City but also to Cebu Province and the rest of the island.The resolution entitled “A resolution recommending the stoppage of the Cebu Bus Rapid Transit (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” was authored by Sixth District PB Member Glenn Soco, Fifth District PB Member and committee on infrastructure and public works chairman Red Duterte and Third District PB Member John Ismael Borgonia. Feasibility questionedIn his privilege speech, Soco questioned the project’s feasibility due to the proponent’s failure to divulge details regarding the operation such as the type of buses to use, who will be the operator and the potential fare. Duterte, 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. However, 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.The Cebu City Council, through a motion pushed by City Councilor James Anthony Cuenco, called for the suspension of scheduled civil works for CBRT Packages 2 and 3 last Feb. 21.Cuenco also pushed for the CBRT management to first resolve pending issues hounding the construction of Package 1, and its proposed partial operation this year.Last Feb. 28, Vice Mayor Raymond Alvin Garcia also requested the Office of the Building Official to issue a cease and desist order against the CBRT contractor, 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.A day earlier, the Provincial Capitol had warned that the bus stations appeared to be located within the buffer zones of the Capitol building and the Fuente Osmeña Rotunda, both of which could easily qualify as heritage zones. The warning appeared in Memorandum 16-2024 issued by Gov. Gwendolyn Garcia ordering a stop to all civil works within Capitol-owned lots on Osmeña Blvd. for possible violation of the National Cultural Heritage Act of 2009.Vice Mayor Garcia also said CBRT management should come up with a better design for the stations that can be submitted and proposed to the appropriate bodies, including the National Commission for Culture and the Arts, Cultural and Historical Affairs Commission and the Cebu City Council.‘Countless’ complaintsPB Member Soco, in his manifestation on Monday, said they received “countless” complaints on how the project, since its inception, had caused “great inconvenience” in some parts of Cebu City and Cebu Province. Aside from the riding public, he said the project had affected the livelihood of commuters and motorists alike. Soco said many commuters also have to wait long to catch a ride because many public utility vehicles are stuck in traffic.He pointed out that President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., during the groundbreaking ceremony in February 2023, announced that the project would be operational by December 2023. However, it was pushed to June 2024. “How much more economic losses do we have to suffer and endure? How many more canceled meetings, late mornings coming in to work and even our school children are greatly affected by the inconvenience? Thousands and even millions of pesos were lost in logistical and transportation expenses, and this is greatly felt by our businesspeople,” he said. “We are not against progress and development, but we are for what is right, just and what could benefit the greater majority, which is the Cebuanos,” he said. Soco said the project’s cost has ballooned also to P28.8 billion from the original cost a few years ago. Soco also questioned why the roads were not widened before the project was implemented. He said Osmeña Blvd.’s six lanes have been reduced to four lanes to accommodate a dedicated bus lane for the project. He said similar proposed BRT projects in the country remain unimplemented due to various issues raised in the planning stages. Lack of consulationSoco said various countries with proposed BRT projects have already abandoned them due to their unfeasibility.He said project proponent Department of Transportation (DOTr) could have consulted the Cebu Provincial Government for a seamless and timely implementation of the CBRT project, but the latter failed to do so. A copy of the resolution will be furnished to Cebu City Mayor Michael Rama, Governor Garcia and DOTr Secretary Jaime Bautista. The PB also passed a resolution calling for the stoppage of the CBRT project in front of the Capitol building, saying the project violates Republic Act (RA) 10066, or the National Cultural Heritage Act of 2009, which mandates the protection, conservation and preservation of the national cultural heritage. Last week, the governor issued a cease and desist order halting the construction of bus stations in front of the Capitol and in the vicinity of Fuente Osmeña due to their alleged violation of RA 10066. With the current design, the bus stations will potentially block the view of the Capitol building from the rotunda. The resolution, authored by Borgonia, also said the bus stations’ design clashed with the neoclassical and art deco style of the Capitol building. / EHP, JJL

Last week, the governor issued a cease and desist order halting the construction of bus stations in front of the Capitol and in the vicinity of Fuente Osmeña due to their alleged violation of RA 10066.

The resolution, authored by Borgonia, also said the bus stations’ design clashed with the neoclassical and art deco style of the Capitol building. / EHP, JJL licensed online casinos

Gambling in the Philippines 2023 – the Latest Trends

THE Cebu Provincial Board (PB) has expressed its opposition to the ongoing implementation of the Cebu Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) project in Cebu City. During its regular session on Monday, March 4, 2024, the PB passed a resolution calling for the project to be stopped, citing the inconvenience and negative effects it has brought not only to the constituents of Cebu City but also to Cebu Province and the rest of the island.The resolution entitled “A resolution recommending the stoppage of the Cebu Bus Rapid Transit (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” was authored by Sixth District PB Member Glenn Soco, Fifth District PB Member and committee on infrastructure and public works chairman Red Duterte and Third District PB Member John Ismael Borgonia. Feasibility questionedIn his privilege speech, Soco questioned the project’s feasibility due to the proponent’s failure to divulge details regarding the operation such as the type of buses to use, who will be the operator and the potential fare. Duterte, 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. However, 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.The Cebu City Council, through a motion pushed by City Councilor James Anthony Cuenco, called for the suspension of scheduled civil works for CBRT Packages 2 and 3 last Feb. 21.Cuenco also pushed for the CBRT management to first resolve pending issues hounding the construction of Package 1, and its proposed partial operation this year.Last Feb. 28, Vice Mayor Raymond Alvin Garcia also requested the Office of the Building Official to issue a cease and desist order against the CBRT contractor, 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.A day earlier, the Provincial Capitol had warned that the bus stations appeared to be located within the buffer zones of the Capitol building and the Fuente Osmeña Rotunda, both of which could easily qualify as heritage zones. The warning appeared in Memorandum 16-2024 issued by Gov. Gwendolyn Garcia ordering a stop to all civil works within Capitol-owned lots on Osmeña Blvd. for possible violation of the National Cultural Heritage Act of 2009.Vice Mayor Garcia also said CBRT management should come up with a better design for the stations that can be submitted and proposed to the appropriate bodies, including the National Commission for Culture and the Arts, Cultural and Historical Affairs Commission and the Cebu City Council.‘Countless’ complaintsPB Member Soco, in his manifestation on Monday, said they received “countless” complaints on how the project, since its inception, had caused “great inconvenience” in some parts of Cebu City and Cebu Province. Aside from the riding public, he said the project had affected the livelihood of commuters and motorists alike. Soco said many commuters also have to wait long to catch a ride because many public utility vehicles are stuck in traffic.He pointed out that President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., during the groundbreaking ceremony in February 2023, announced that the project would be operational by December 2023. However, it was pushed to June 2024. “How much more economic losses do we have to suffer and endure? How many more canceled meetings, late mornings coming in to work and even our school children are greatly affected by the inconvenience? Thousands and even millions of pesos were lost in logistical and transportation expenses, and this is greatly felt by our businesspeople,” he said. “We are not against progress and development, but we are for what is right, just and what could benefit the greater majority, which is the Cebuanos,” he said. Soco said the project’s cost has ballooned also to P28.8 billion from the original cost a few years ago. Soco also questioned why the roads were not widened before the project was implemented. He said Osmeña Blvd.’s six lanes have been reduced to four lanes to accommodate a dedicated bus lane for the project. He said similar proposed BRT projects in the country remain unimplemented due to various issues raised in the planning stages. Lack of consulationSoco said various countries with proposed BRT projects have already abandoned them due to their unfeasibility.He said project proponent Department of Transportation (DOTr) could have consulted the Cebu Provincial Government for a seamless and timely implementation of the CBRT project, but the latter failed to do so. A copy of the resolution will be furnished to Cebu City Mayor Michael Rama, Governor Garcia and DOTr Secretary Jaime Bautista. The PB also passed a resolution calling for the stoppage of the CBRT project in front of the Capitol building, saying the project violates Republic Act (RA) 10066, or the National Cultural Heritage Act of 2009, which mandates the protection, conservation and preservation of the national cultural heritage.
