THE Metropolitan Cebu Water District (MCWD) experienced a water production deficit of 42,452 cubic meters on Wednesday due to the El Niño phenomenon, which will result in consumers experiencing low pressure to no water supply.According to the water district’s production team data, MCWD produced only at least 258,548 cubic meters of water on April 3, MCWD spokesperson Minerva Gerodias told SunStar Cebu on Thursday, April 4, 2024. Gerodias said MCWD had produced 310,000 cubic meters per day (CMD) before the occurrence of the El Niño.The water demand in MCWD’s franchise area is around 600,000 cubic meters per day.Gerodias said the water supply deficit would result in intermittent supply of water to elevated and interior areas.MCWD provides services to four cities and four municipalities in Metro Cebu: Cebu City, Talisay City, Mandaue City, Lapu-Lapu City, Cordova, Consolacion, Liloan and Compostela.The reduction in water supply has occurred across both surface and groundwater facilities managed by the MCWD, which include Jaclupan, Lusaran, Compostela-Cotcot and Buhisan/Tisa Filter Plant.Last March 13, MCWD chairman Jose Daluz III disclosed that Jaclupan production had dropped to 20,000 from 30,000 CMD, Lusaran production had dropped to 20,000 from 30,000 CMD, Compostela-Cotcot production had plunged to 3,000 from 10,000 CMD, and Buhisan/Tisa Filter Plant production had fallen to 4,000 from 6,000 CMD.However, Gerodias said the water levels in these dam facilities had further decreased since then.Recent data from MCWD indicate that Jaclupan production had decreased further to 14,113 CMD, Buhisan/Tisa Filter to 3,700 CMD, Manila Water to 36,982 CMD, and Lusaran/JE Hydro to 16,162 CMD.ComplaintsIn a chat message on Thursday, Joseph Cañares, a client of MCWD from Urgello St., Barangay Sambag 2, Cebu City, expressed dissatisfaction with the service provided, saying it does not compensate well for the amount they are paying. Cañares said the water often occurs at 2 or 3 a.m., and most of the time, their faucets have no water flow throughout the day.When asked about their water conservation practices at home, Cañares responded that there is nothing to conserve since there is no water available.Another MCWD client, Rey Anthony Baluran, a resident of Barangay Talamban, said, “Bisan dili tinghuwaw, walay agas ang gripo. Kon di magpundo og tubig, walay tubig magamit.”(Even if there’s no drought, the water doesn’t flow from the faucet. If we don’t store water, there will be no water to use.)11 concernsOver the Cebu City Hall program “Ingna’ng Mayor” on Tuesday, April 2, Mayor Michael Rama said the City had identified 11 concerns related to El Niño that were discussed during their emergency convergence meeting on April 1.The concerns were scarcity of food and crops due to lack of water, occurrence of livestock diseases, limited source of water or absence of water source, public safety such as fire incidents, occurrence of summer-related skin diseases, loss of livelihood among farmers, mental health problems, increase of pests on crops, disruption of classes due to the high heat index, decrease of agricultural products, and drying of ponds.Rama said they have come up with short, medium and long-term measures to address the 11 concerns on food and water security.Rama said since last year, short-term projects had been implemented, including acquiring seedlings and conducting education campaigns through the City Agriculture Department. He said farming supplies had been distributed since October 2023, and the Department of Veterinary Medicine and Fisheries began monitoring vector-borne diseases in livestock. Routine checks on livestock farmers will continue until June. Water collectionCollaborating with the MCWD, the City installed Mobile Siphon tanks (MST) along rivers in Barangays Buot and Cambinocot to collect and filter water for distribution to affected communities. The MST in Cambinocot has been operational since last week, while the one in Buot will start operating this week, according to Harold Alcontin, head of the Cebu City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office.

Philippines FORMER Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) regional director Yogi Filemon Ruiz, who has thrown his hat into the ring for Cebu City’s mayoral race in 2025, said he will be running to provide solutions to the “deteriorated Cebu.”Ruiz said in a media forum on Tuesday, March 19, 2024, his choice to enter politics stemmed from his aspiration to address basic services he believed have been “neglected by the City. “For the past years, if the City is doing their job, then I would be gladly in my farm, attending to my garden, drinking coffee, just watching movies. But sad to say, every time I go home from Manila to Cebu City—Manila boomed, Cebu City deteriorated,” Ruiz said.Ruiz, who was also a former commissioner of the Bureau of Customs, said although he is a neophyte in politics, he has been in public service for 18 years.“Politics is something new to me, but public service has always been in my blood,” said Ruiz. He declared his intention to serve as mayor as both a technocrat and a bureaucrat.Technocrats rely on technical expertise to make decisions and prioritize evidence-based solutions, while bureaucrats work within administrative systems to implement policies and manage resources.PlansPrior to committing to run for mayor, he identified five basic services that, he said, were being disregarded by the City Government. These are providing peace and order, health and social services, solving traffic and mobility issues, addressing garbage and waste disposal, and managing flooding and drainage.“This is something that is very basic. This is not something that we have invented overnight. These are basic problems that had been neglected by the City,” he said. With his background in law enforcement, he aims to make Cebu City’s streets the safest in the country. He said ensuring a safe environment for the public accomplishes half of his job, and will be his top priority. He said this will be done by busting criminals and drug traders in the city and instilling discipline.Ruiz said government agencies like Philippine National Police, Bureau of Jail Management and Penology, Bureau of Fire Protection, and PDEA, can expect support from him should he win.Ruiz clarified that while he will address illegal drug problems in the city, he will employ different tactics in approaching this issue, different from former President Rodrigo Duterte’s war on drugs.“Rest assured, I will be the number one champion of human rights; there will be no instance that human rights will be violated,” he said.He said he will establish a government-run rehabilitation center, pointing out that Cebu City is the only highly urbanized city in the country that is not operating such an establishment.CBRTOn the ongoing construction of the Cebu Bus Rapid Transit (CBRT) system, Ruiz expressed doubts about its sufficiency despite changes made to its plans over the past two decades. He suggested that due to Cebu’s narrow roads, a new scheme should be implemented once the system is operational. Ruiz proposed that since the current CBRT plan occupies 60 percent of the road, this should be made “flexible” and there should be days when roads will not be exclu­sive to shuttles and modern jeepneys, but also open to private cars.He acknowledged that since the project is already underway as the country has already taken out a loan from the World Bank and the French Development Agency, it would not be wise to halt its construction.“The question is, if we stop it now, who will pay the loan?... Why don’t we try it for one year and if it will not be successful, let us remove the barriers on the sides so we can still use the roads,” he said. Ruiz, however, did not specify which barriers of the CBRT should be removed.Not ‘Singapore-like’ Ruiz said he will keep the city’s slogan simple and use what his supporters are currently using in his campaign: “For a better and safer Cebu City.”He said he will not follow Mayor Michael Rama’s “grandiose” campaign slogan, such as “Singapore-like Cebu City with Melbourne features,” which, he said, is far from being realized.He also said he would appreciate it if Rama would not continue his reelection bid and support his candidacy instead.He described other individuals who expressed their interest to run, such as Rama, Cebu City Councilor Nestor Archival, and Metropolitan Cebu Water District Chairman Joey Daluz III, as “worthy opponents.” However, he said Archival could be a good running mate as his vice mayor.Partido CebuanoRuiz said he will have a complete slate under the banner of “Partido Cebuano,” although he did not reveal names.“We want the party to encompass all the aspirations, all the desires, all the dreams of the Cebuano people,” he said. He said he will have a vice mayor, two congressmen and councilors who are “like-minded Cebuanos.”“We wanted it to be as less political as we can. If you can observe what is happening in the city, all actions of our leaders are for politics, even as simple as a flag-raising ceremony, everything is politicized,” Ruiz lamented.He explained he cannot, as yet, reveal names with respect to the other members of his party, as some of them are incumbent politicians. “They are afraid to come out yet because they might be attacked by those who want to pick a fight with them,” said Ruiz. / KJF

On May 31, 2010, also during the El Niño phenomenon, the province recorded a surface temperature of 37 degrees Celsius. This coincided with its highest heat index of 49 degrees Celsius in history.

Gerodias said MCWD had produced 310,000 cubic meters per day (CMD) before the occurrence of the El Niño.The water demand in MCWD’s franchise area is around 600,000 cubic meters per day.Gerodias said the water supply deficit would result in intermittent supply of water to elevated and interior areas.MCWD provides services to four cities and four municipalities in Metro Cebu: Cebu City, Talisay City, Mandaue City, Lapu-Lapu City, Cordova, Consolacion, Liloan and Compostela.The reduction in water supply has occurred across both surface and groundwater facilities managed by the MCWD, which include Jaclupan, Lusaran, Compostela-Cotcot and Buhisan/Tisa Filter Plant.Last March 13, MCWD chairman Jose Daluz III disclosed that Jaclupan production had dropped to 20,000 from 30,000 CMD, Lusaran production had dropped to 20,000 from 30,000 CMD, Compostela-Cotcot production had plunged to 3,000 from 10,000 CMD, and Buhisan/Tisa Filter Plant production had fallen to 4,000 from 6,000 CMD.However, Gerodias said the water levels in these dam facilities had further decreased since then.Recent data from MCWD indicate that Jaclupan production had decreased further to 14,113 CMD, Buhisan/Tisa Filter to 3,700 CMD, Manila Water to 36,982 CMD, and Lusaran/JE Hydro to 16,162 CMD.ComplaintsIn a chat message on Thursday, Joseph Cañares, a client of MCWD from Urgello St., Barangay Sambag 2, Cebu City, expressed dissatisfaction with the service provided, saying it does not compensate well for the amount they are paying. Cañares said the water often occurs at 2 or 3 a.m., and most of the time, their faucets have no water flow throughout the day.When asked about their water conservation practices at home, Cañares responded that there is nothing to conserve since there is no water available.Another MCWD client, Rey Anthony Baluran, a resident of Barangay Talamban, said, “Bisan dili tinghuwaw, walay agas ang gripo. Kon di magpundo og tubig, walay tubig magamit.”(Even if there’s no drought, the water doesn’t flow from the faucet. If we don’t store water, there will be no water to use.)11 concernsOver the Cebu City Hall program “Ingna’ng Mayor” on Tuesday, April 2, Mayor Michael Rama said the City had identified 11 concerns related to El Niño that were discussed during their emergency convergence meeting on April 1.The concerns were scarcity of food and crops due to lack of water, occurrence of livestock diseases, limited source of water or absence of water source, public safety such as fire incidents, occurrence of summer-related skin diseases, loss of livelihood among farmers, mental health problems, increase of pests on crops, disruption of classes due to the high heat index, decrease of agricultural products, and drying of ponds.Rama said they have come up with short, medium and long-term measures to address the 11 concerns on food and water security.Rama said since last year, short-term projects had been implemented, including acquiring seedlings and conducting education campaigns through the City Agriculture Department. He said farming supplies had been distributed since October 2023, and the Department of Veterinary Medicine and Fisheries began monitoring vector-borne diseases in livestock. Routine checks on livestock farmers will continue until June. Water collectionCollaborating with the MCWD, the City installed Mobile Siphon tanks (MST) along rivers in Barangays Buot and Cambinocot to collect and filter water for distribution to affected communities. The MST in Cambinocot has been operational since last week, while the one in Buot will start operating this week, according to Harold Alcontin, head of the Cebu City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office.

FORMER Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) regional director Yogi Filemon Ruiz, who has thrown his hat into the ring for Cebu City’s mayoral race in 2025, said he will be running to provide solutions to the “deteriorated Cebu.”Ruiz said in a media forum on Tuesday, March 19, 2024, his choice to enter politics stemmed from his aspiration to address basic services he believed have been “neglected by the City. “For the past years, if the City is doing their job, then I would be gladly in my farm, attending to my garden, drinking coffee, just watching movies. But sad to say, every time I go home from Manila to Cebu City—Manila boomed, Cebu City deteriorated,” Ruiz said.Ruiz, who was also a former commissioner of the Bureau of Customs, said although he is a neophyte in politics, he has been in public service for 18 years.“Politics is something new to me, but public service has always been in my blood,” said Ruiz. He declared his intention to serve as mayor as both a technocrat and a bureaucrat.Technocrats rely on technical expertise to make decisions and prioritize evidence-based solutions, while bureaucrats work within administrative systems to implement policies and manage resources.PlansPrior to committing to run for mayor, he identified five basic services that, he said, were being disregarded by the City Government. These are providing peace and order, health and social services, solving traffic and mobility issues, addressing garbage and waste disposal, and managing flooding and drainage.“This is something that is very basic. This is not something that we have invented overnight. These are basic problems that had been neglected by the City,” he said. With his background in law enforcement, he aims to make Cebu City’s streets the safest in the country. He said ensuring a safe environment for the public accomplishes half of his job, and will be his top priority. He said this will be done by busting criminals and drug traders in the city and instilling discipline.Ruiz said government agencies like Philippine National Police, Bureau of Jail Management and Penology, Bureau of Fire Protection, and PDEA, can expect support from him should he win.Ruiz clarified that while he will address illegal drug problems in the city, he will employ different tactics in approaching this issue, different from former President Rodrigo Duterte’s war on drugs.“Rest assured, I will be the number one champion of human rights; there will be no instance that human rights will be violated,” he said.He said he will establish a government-run rehabilitation center, pointing out that Cebu City is the only highly urbanized city in the country that is not operating such an establishment.CBRTOn the ongoing construction of the Cebu Bus Rapid Transit (CBRT) system, Ruiz expressed doubts about its sufficiency despite changes made to its plans over the past two decades. He suggested that due to Cebu’s narrow roads, a new scheme should be implemented once the system is operational. Ruiz proposed that since the current CBRT plan occupies 60 percent of the road, this should be made “flexible” and there should be days when roads will not be exclu­sive to shuttles and modern jeepneys, but also open to private cars.He acknowledged that since the project is already underway as the country has already taken out a loan from the World Bank and the French Development Agency, it would not be wise to halt its construction.“The question is, if we stop it now, who will pay the loan?... Why don’t we try it for one year and if it will not be successful, let us remove the barriers on the sides so we can still use the roads,” he said. Ruiz, however, did not specify which barriers of the CBRT should be removed.Not ‘Singapore-like’ Ruiz said he will keep the city’s slogan simple and use what his supporters are currently using in his campaign: “For a better and safer Cebu City.”He said he will not follow Mayor Michael Rama’s “grandiose” campaign slogan, such as “Singapore-like Cebu City with Melbourne features,” which, he said, is far from being realized.He also said he would appreciate it if Rama would not continue his reelection bid and support his candidacy instead.He described other individuals who expressed their interest to run, such as Rama, Cebu City Councilor Nestor Archival, and Metropolitan Cebu Water District Chairman Joey Daluz III, as “worthy opponents.” However, he said Archival could be a good running mate as his vice mayor.Partido CebuanoRuiz said he will have a complete slate under the banner of “Partido Cebuano,” although he did not reveal names.“We want the party to encompass all the aspirations, all the desires, all the dreams of the Cebuano people,” he said. He said he will have a vice mayor, two congressmen and councilors who are “like-minded Cebuanos.”“We wanted it to be as less political as we can. If you can observe what is happening in the city, all actions of our leaders are for politics, even as simple as a flag-raising ceremony, everything is politicized,” Ruiz lamented.He explained he cannot, as yet, reveal names with respect to the other members of his party, as some of them are incumbent politicians. “They are afraid to come out yet because they might be attacked by those who want to pick a fight with them,” said Ruiz. / KJF licensed online casinos SOME local government units (LGUs) in Cebu have announced the suspension of face-to-face classes starting Wednesday, April 3, 2024, due to a recent increase in high heat index.They said that schools will implement an alternative delivery mode of learning to minimize the disruption of weather conditions on students.The heat index, or “feels-like” temperature, combines air temperature and humidity to indicate how hot the weather would feel to the human body.Here are the LGUs that have announced suspensions as of Wednesday. This list will be updated:Lapu-Lapu CityFace-to-face classes in public schools from kindergarten to high school will be suspended from April 3 to April 12. Private schools have the discretion to decide.LiloanFace-to-face classes in public schools from kindergarten to high school will be suspended from April 3 to April 12.Talisay CityFace-to-face classes in public schools from kindergarten to high school will be suspended from April 3 to April 14. Private schools have the discretion to decide.Minglanilla Face-to-face classes in both public and private schools from kindergarten to high school will be suspended starting April 3. No specific end date has been provided.City of NagaFace-to-face classes in public schools in all levels will be suspended from April 3 to 14. CordovaFace-to-face classes in both public and private schools at all levels will be suspended starting April 3. No specific end date has been provided.In a SunStar interview last March 18, Director Salustiano Jimenez of Department of Education Central Visayas (DepEd 7) said that public and private school heads and principals have the discretion and are authorized to shift to modular classes “in cases of unfavorable weather and environment, such as, but not limited to extremely high temperatures" under DepEd Order 37 of 2022.Weather specialist Jhomer Eclarino from the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) Visayas reported that Cebu will face a heat index of up to 38 degrees Celsius until Wednesday, April 3.According to data he shared to SunStar Cebu on Monday, April 1, this falls within the "extreme caution category."Earlier reports indicate that this level of heat index heightens the risk of heat-related illnesses such as cramps, exhaustion, and potentially, heatstroke.Meanwhile, SunStar Cebu previously reported that the heat index in Cebu could reach a "dangerous" 51 degrees Celsius in the coming months.Such high heat index can result in heat cramps, exhaustion, and potentially heatstroke with prolonged outdoor exposure.Eclarino attributed the increase in the heat index to the El Niño phenomenon and the ongoing dry, hot summer.He said that historical data in Pagasa shows Cebu typically experiences its highest temperatures in May. On May 31, 2010, also during the El Niño phenomenon, the province recorded a surface temperature of 37 degrees Celsius. This coincided with its highest heat index of 49 degrees Celsius in history.
