LESS than two weeks before Cebu City’s 87th Charter Day celebration, no supplemental budget ordinance concerning City Hall employees’ Charter Day bonus and other items has been filed for deliberation at the City Council.City Councilor Noel Wenceslao, budget and finance committee chairman, said during City Hall’s teleradyo online program, “Pagtuki, Pagsusi, Pagsuta,” on Wednesday, Feb. 14, that the executive department has not yet submitted any documents regarding the promised Charter Day bonus.Wenceslao said he had asked City Budget Officer Jerone Castillo to expedite the required documents from the executive department so the council can start crafting a supplemental budget ordinance and proceed with the budget hearing.Wenceslao said Castillo had told him that there was a delay in the preparations due to the finalizing of an additional budget for the Central Visayas Regional Athletic Association (CVRAA) and the Palarong Pambansa 2024 to be held in the city. The budget for both sporting events will be part of the Supplemental Budget No. 1.Wenceslao said he asked Castillo not to delay it further so it can be finished and approved on or before Feb. 24.He said no specific details have been provided yet for the additional budget requested for CVRAA and the Palarong Pambansa.Cebu City celebrates Charter Day every Feb. 24. Cebu City, formerly a town, became a city in 1937 during the American colonial period.Marathon sessionWenceslao said the supplemental budget needs to be scrutinized by the council, as its approval requires the entire council’s consensus, not just that of the mayor or vice mayor.He said once the legislative department receives the proposal, he will propose a marathon session to scrutinize the items in the supplemental budget. The council will invite members of the Local Finance Committee, the city treasurer, the city accountant, and city budget officer to determine if funds are available for the supplemental budget.Wenceslao said Castillo had told him on Monday, Feb. 11, that funds are available, pending confirmation by the city treasurer.Wenceslao added that they would assess the available funds and other city expenses to ensure financial stability and avoid potential issues. The City Treasurer’s Office collected a gross amount of P7,556,320,087.76 as of October 2023.In a follow-up interview on Thursday, Feb. 15, Wenceslao assured that the amount they will approve for the supplemental budget will not exceed what is needed and would only consist of the necessary items that were not appropriated during the annual budget appropriations.BonusAs for the exact amount for the bonus, Wenceslao said he hopes that the council will approve the initially proposed P25,000 bonus of Vice Mayor Raymond Alvin Garcia, which will be formalized by an ordinance. In 2023, Cebu City Hall employees received P15,000 as a Charter Day bonus.Personally, Wenceslao said he would prefer to increase the amount if there are no issues with fund availability.When asked if they could still give the bonus if they could not enact a supplemental budget ordinance before Feb. 24, Wenceslao said they still can. He, however, said its approval before the Charter Day would be preferable to ensure timely disbursement to employees. Filipino e-wallet for online and offline transactions Philippines THE Local Water Utilities Administration (LWUA) has implemented the takeover of the Metropolitan Cebu Water District’s (MCWD) policy-making authority effective Friday, March 15, 2024 for a period of six months.In a letter addressed to MCWD chairman Jose Daluz III and MCWD general manager Edgar Donoso, LWUA administrator Jose Moises Salonga announced the partial intervention, which is authorized by Resolution No. 35, s. of 2023 duly approved by the LWUA Board of Trustees in accordance with Presidential Decree No. 198, as amended.Salonga said he was sending his representative, Deputy Administrator Eileen L. dela Vega, to oversee the installation Friday of the following LWUA officers whom he has designated as members of the Interim Board of Directors (BOD) of MCWD for a period of six months.The interim members of the BOD are Maria Rosan D. Perez, and engineers Noel A. Samonte and Anabelle C. Gravador.“Under Resolution No. 35, s. 2023 as supported by Resolution No. 36, s. 2012, all members of the current Regular Board of Directors shall be set aside and shall cease and desist from exercising their functions during the period of LWUA’s intervention,” Salonga said in the letter. In a phone interview on Friday, MCWD chairman Jose Daluz III confirmed the implementation of the takeover of its policy-making authority, saying that the five board members—Daluz, Miguelito Pato and Jodelyn May Seno appointed by the late mayor Edgardo Labella, and lawyers Danilo Ortiz and Earl Bonachita appointed by Cebu City Mayor Michael Rama—would abide by LWUA’s decision.“We will abide by the order of the LWUA. I think that is for the best interest of the MCWD,” Daluz said.Asked what will happen after six months of intervention, Daluz said he does not know yet if LWUA will finally remove them.Daluz said the intervention also applies to the board appointed by Rama.“All of us five board members, the two appointed by Mike, the three appointed by the late mayor Edgardo Labella will step down and let LWUA function as the board. I will abide,” Daluz said.Since Oct. 31, 2023, there have been two boards in the MCWD, one led by Daluz and the other led by retired Major General Melquiades Feliciano. On that day, Rama appointed Feliciano, Aristotle Batuhan and Nelson Yuvallos to replace Daluz and board members Pato and Seno, whom he had ousted on Aug. 17, 2023.Existing board members Ortiz and Bonachita, who were not fired with the trio, renewed their oath, as they supported Rama’s appointment of the board’s three new members. In a press conference on Nov. 7, 2023, then-City legal officer and now Budget Officer Jerone Castillo said the City had requested a certificate of no objection to the trio’s termination from the LWUA board of trustees. However, the response letter, dated Oct. 17, 2023, received on Nov. 6, 2023, did not come from the board of trustees, but from the administrator.Castillo questioned the legality of LWUA’s letter, noting that it came from the administrator rather than the board of trustees, as requested by the City government. He argued that without the board’s approval, the letter holds no legal weight and is merely an opinion.The LWUA letter, signed by lawyers Vicente Homer Revil and Roberto San Andres, asserted that local executives lack the authority to remove the chairperson and members of the board of directors of a water district. Citing Section 7 of PD 198, LWUA said that upon forming a water district, local governments lose ownership, supervision and control over the district, except as provided therein.LWUA also referenced DILG Memorandum Circular 2016-146, which emphasizes that water districts are autonomous agencies independent of local governments and should operate without hindrance or interference, but with maximum support and assistance.On Feb. 19, 2024, President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. appointed lawyer Salonga as the new administrator of the LWUA, the regulatory body overseeing water districts in the country.

So nagkaroon ng minor amendment sa implementing rules and guidelines. Sa ngayon, ‘yung mga private citizens na nagmamay-ari ng rifle, particularly ‘yung 7.62 pababa, at ‘yung kanilang mga baril meron classification ng semi-automatic ay pupuwede na pong itong palisensyahan ng sibilyan,” said Fajardo. (So there was a minor amendment in the implementing rules and guidelines. Right now, those private citizens who own rifles, particularly the 7.62 and below, and whose guns have a classification of semi-automatic will be able to license it as a civilian.)Fajardo said the amendment was submitted to the UP law Center for publication. The implementation will be effective 15 days after the publication. Fajardo said applicants wanting to own and possess semi-automatic rifle will be subject to strict regulation.
