THE Department of Agriculture (DA) has reiterated its commitment to increasing the level of rice production in the country with lower expenditures to alleviate the burden of global inflation in other food and non-food products, particularly rice.In a press conference on Saturday, April 6, 2024, DA Assistant Secretary Arnel De Mesa said the government will use greater mechanization and efficient post-harvest processes to boost agricultural activity in the country.“So ngayon, ang tutok pa rin namin ngayon ay sa palayan na mapataas ang lebel ng produksiyon at mapababa iyong cost to produce, again sa pamamagitan ng mechanization at mapababa rin iyong post-harvest losses. Kaya iyon ang tinututukan din ni (DA) Secretary (Francisco) Tiu Laurel,” he said.(So now, our focus is still on rice fields to increase production levels and lower the cost to produce, again through mechanization, and also to reduce post-harvest losses. That's what Secretary Francisco Tiu Laurel of the Department of Agriculture is also focusing on.)Due to the variety of rice being planted and harvested, De Mesa said there are about 15 to 20 percent post-harvest losses, especially during the drying and milling process.“Iyong halimbawa, sa milling natin sa kiskisan, malaki na sa atin iyong 65 percent na milling recovery pero marami pa rin sa kiskisan, nasa 50 to 55 percent ang milling recovery,” De Mesa said.(For example, in our milling, in the grinding process, we already have a significant 65 percent milling recovery rate, but still, in some cases, the milling recovery is around 50 to 55 percent.)“Ang isang dahilan nito, maraming variety ng bigas na mayroon ngayon na natatanim at mayroong masyadong mahaba, mayroong bilugan, masyadong maliit. So iyong kiskisan kasi ano ‘yan, e, ‘pag rubber hull, ‘pag hindi maganda iyong clearance…talagang maraming durog o kaya marami iyong palay pa o ipa na natitira so kailangan ikiskis uli, so maraming nasasayang,” he added.(One reason for this is the variety of rice being cultivated nowadays, some are too long, some are round, some are too small. So in the milling process, when it's a rubber hull, if the clearance isn't good... there are many broken grains or there's still a lot of rice husk left, so it needs to be ground again, resulting in a lot of waste.)The DA is planning to reduce the number of varieties from the existing more than 18 to just two or three for each region to ensure an efficient milling system with higher milling recovery.De Mesa said they are also eyeing the construction of deep piers intended for large ships to lessen the logistics cost of farm inputs, such as fertilizers, that in the end could lower the cost of producing rice in the country.He said the agency aims to make ice prices in the country at par with its Southeast Asian neighbors, noting that Vietnam is producing P6 per kilo of rice, while the Philippines produces a kilo of rice at P12 to P14.De Mesa noted that labor is the major cost component in producing rice, and labor cost is at a premium in the Philippines.He said it was the reason for the passage of the Rice Tariffication Law, which allocates P10 billion annually under the Rice Competitiveness Enhancement Fund (RCEF), with half of it dedicated to farm mechanization aimed at lowering the labor cost component in rice production.“Mahal din iyong input sa atin dahil iyong logistics, iyong binabanggit palagi ni Secretary Tiu Laurel iyong fertilizer na dadalhin ng Mindoro manggagaling pa iyon ng Bataan, so bago makarating iyong fertilizer from Bataan to Mindoro na nakailang lipat iyong tracking ang laki ng gastos,” De Mesa said.(The inputs are also costly for us because of logistics, as Secretary Tiu Laurel often mentions the fertilizer that will be transported from Bataan to Mindoro. So, before the fertilizer reaches Mindoro, having undergone several transfers, the expenses become significant.)“So, kung mayroon tayong deep na pier – iyong malalim na pier, ang tawag nila nga doon ay panamax ba – malakihan, puwedeng doon na dalhin directly iyong barko, magdaong mas malaki iyong matitipid – bababa about P15 to P20 immediately iyong presyo ng inputs,” he added.(So, if we have a deep pier - the deep pier they call it "panamax" - large enough, ships can directly dock there, allowing for larger vessels to dock, resulting in savings of about P15 to P20 immediately on input prices.)De Mesa said the DA is also focusing on enhancing the distribution system, as well as post-harvest facilities to make the country’s agriculture sector more competitive.He said the agency targets to attain much higher rice productivity, noting that currently, the national average is only at 4.1 metric tons per hectare.Nueva Ecija, the country’s rice granary, produces six to eight metric tons per hectare while many areas in the country are producing three to four metric tons per hectare because of limited use of high-yielding varieties, irrigation, and fertilizer due to high input cost. In March 2024, the country’s rice inflation stood at 24.4 percent, the highest in over the past 15 years.Albay Second District Representative Joey Salceda, who is also an economist, reiterated that managing the prices of rice is the key to calming down the inflation or the increase of prices of goods and services at a given time.He said that 57 percent of the March 2024 inflation came from higher food prices.The country’s headline inflation in March 2024 slightly accelerated to 3.7 percent, from 3.4 percent during the month prior.

Philippines A DAY before the Fire Prevention Month celebration, Cebu City already recorded 51 fire incidents since the start of 2024 which translates to a 45.7 percent rise from the 35 fire incidents recorded during the same period last year.Of the 51 incidents this year, 30 happened in January, resulting in property damage of about P19 million, said Senior Fire Officer Wendell Villanueva, information officer of the Cebu City Fire Office (CCFO).Meanwhile, a total of 21 fire incidents were recorded in the month of February with two of the fires happening in the afternoon of Feb. 29.Villanueva urged the public to heighten fire precautionary measures, especially during the dry season when the risk of fires is higher due to dry weather conditions.Proclamation 115-A issued by President Ferdinand Marcos Sr. on Feb. 24, 1966, declared March as Fire Prevention Month to remind people about the importance of fire safety and prevention.“We need to raise awareness among people about the dangers of the hot season. A small mistake could lead to a fire outbreak as things, and homes tend to get extremely dry during this time,” Villanueva said. “As water is scarce, we should be extra cautious and take all necessary measures to prevent any incident,” he added, taking into account the existing El Niño phenomenon.The CCFO will embark on several educational programs and campaigns to inform people about fire hazards, proper fire safety measures and emergency preparedness.Earlier this week, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) Visayas reported that Cebu will be affected by a dry spell due to El Niño.According to Pagasa, a dry spell occurs when there are three successive months of below-normal rainfall or two consecutive months of “significantly below-normal”rainfall.Below-normal rainfall refers to a reduction of 20 to 60 percent from the average precipitation levels for a specific area, while significantly below-normal rainfall indicates a decrease of more than 60 percent compared to the norm.Villanueva urged the public to conserve water, particularly during this time, so that the fire department can respond swiftly in case of fire emergencies.The CCFO, which sources water from the Metropolitan Cebu Water District, is currently not having any issues with its supply, said Villanueva.To mark the opening of Fire Prevention Month on March 1, the CCFO held two motorcades traversing routes from north to south to spread fire safety information in various areas. / KJF

THE Cebu City Government and the Cebu Provincial Government were urged to settle the Cebu Bus Rapid Transit (CBRT) disagreements, as it may result in inconvenience to majority of Cebuanos if it develops into a legal standoff.Cebu City Councilor Nestor Archival, during the Openline News Program on March 12, 2024, maintained his resolution passed during the recent regular session last Wednesday, March 6, for the Cebu City Government through Mayor Michael Rama and Cebu Provincial Government under Governor Gwendolyn Garcia to sit down and discuss a practical solution for ongoing CBRT project in the portion of the Osmeña Boulevard that was affected by the latter's cease-and-desist order.The Council's minority floor leader said that if two leaders do not compromise and bring the matter to court, the Cebuanos will be the ones to suffer."Kung mag-standoff ni, unya maabot ang ting-uwan, unya naay daghan lungag diha, there will be some accidents diha nga mahitabo. Kinsa man ang mabasol diha, diba ang duha gihapon ka institution?" Archival said.(If this develops into a standoff and the rainy season comes, flooding will be noted as there are many holes in the construction site. There will be some accidents.

So, we will be having that resolution, and I will make that," Archival said.He said they acknowledge that the governor's argument is valid, as the bus station, which is part of the CBRT project located in front of the Cebu Capitol building, will potentially block the view of the “heritage” infrastructure built in 1936.He also suggested that both officials avoid throwing antics in the media, regarding the project, as this will result in more tension due to emotions involved."Instead of going to the media, doing some arguments, we are asking them to sit down and try to find ways nga pwede ba nato ni masabot.

That's what Secretary Francisco Tiu Laurel of the Department of Agriculture is also focusing on.)Due to the variety of rice being planted and harvested, De Mesa said there are about 15 to 20 percent post-harvest losses, especially during the drying and milling process.“Iyong halimbawa, sa milling natin sa kiskisan, malaki na sa atin iyong 65 percent na milling recovery pero marami pa rin sa kiskisan, nasa 50 to 55 percent ang milling recovery,” De Mesa said.(For example, in our milling, in the grinding process, we already have a significant 65 percent milling recovery rate, but still, in some cases, the milling recovery is around 50 to 55 percent.)“Ang isang dahilan nito, maraming variety ng bigas na mayroon ngayon na natatanim at mayroong masyadong mahaba, mayroong bilugan, masyadong maliit. So iyong kiskisan kasi ano ‘yan, e, ‘pag rubber hull, ‘pag hindi maganda iyong clearance…talagang maraming durog o kaya marami iyong palay pa o ipa na natitira so kailangan ikiskis uli, so maraming nasasayang,” he added.(One reason for this is the variety of rice being cultivated nowadays, some are too long, some are round, some are too small. So in the milling process, when it's a rubber hull, if the clearance isn't good... there are many broken grains or there's still a lot of rice husk left, so it needs to be ground again, resulting in a lot of waste.)The DA is planning to reduce the number of varieties from the existing more than 18 to just two or three for each region to ensure an efficient milling system with higher milling recovery.De Mesa said they are also eyeing the construction of deep piers intended for large ships to lessen the logistics cost of farm inputs, such as fertilizers, that in the end could lower the cost of producing rice in the country.He said the agency aims to make ice prices in the country at par with its Southeast Asian neighbors, noting that Vietnam is producing P6 per kilo of rice, while the Philippines produces a kilo of rice at P12 to P14.De Mesa noted that labor is the major cost component in producing rice, and labor cost is at a premium in the Philippines.He said it was the reason for the passage of the Rice Tariffication Law, which allocates P10 billion annually under the Rice Competitiveness Enhancement Fund (RCEF), with half of it dedicated to farm mechanization aimed at lowering the labor cost component in rice production.“Mahal din iyong input sa atin dahil iyong logistics, iyong binabanggit palagi ni Secretary Tiu Laurel iyong fertilizer na dadalhin ng Mindoro manggagaling pa iyon ng Bataan, so bago makarating iyong fertilizer from Bataan to Mindoro na nakailang lipat iyong tracking ang laki ng gastos,” De Mesa said.(The inputs are also costly for us because of logistics, as Secretary Tiu Laurel often mentions the fertilizer that will be transported from Bataan to Mindoro. So, before the fertilizer reaches Mindoro, having undergone several transfers, the expenses become significant.)“So, kung mayroon tayong deep na pier – iyong malalim na pier, ang tawag nila nga doon ay panamax ba – malakihan, puwedeng doon na dalhin directly iyong barko, magdaong mas malaki iyong matitipid – bababa about P15 to P20 immediately iyong presyo ng inputs,” he added.(So, if we have a deep pier - the deep pier they call it "panamax" - large enough, ships can directly dock there, allowing for larger vessels to dock, resulting in savings of about P15 to P20 immediately on input prices.)De Mesa said the DA is also focusing on enhancing the distribution system, as well as post-harvest facilities to make the country’s agriculture sector more competitive.He said the agency targets to attain much higher rice productivity, noting that currently, the national average is only at 4.1 metric tons per hectare.Nueva Ecija, the country’s rice granary, produces six to eight metric tons per hectare while many areas in the country are producing three to four metric tons per hectare because of limited use of high-yielding varieties, irrigation, and fertilizer due to high input cost. In March 2024, the country’s rice inflation stood at 24.4 percent, the highest in over the past 15 years.Albay Second District Representative Joey Salceda, who is also an economist, reiterated that managing the prices of rice is the key to calming down the inflation or the increase of prices of goods and services at a given time.He said that 57 percent of the March 2024 inflation came from higher food prices.The country’s headline inflation in March 2024 slightly accelerated to 3.7 percent, from 3.4 percent during the month prior.

A DAY before the Fire Prevention Month celebration, Cebu City already recorded 51 fire incidents since the start of 2024 which translates to a 45.7 percent rise from the 35 fire incidents recorded during the same period last year.Of the 51 incidents this year, 30 happened in January, resulting in property damage of about P19 million, said Senior Fire Officer Wendell Villanueva, information officer of the Cebu City Fire Office (CCFO).Meanwhile, a total of 21 fire incidents were recorded in the month of February with two of the fires happening in the afternoon of Feb. 29.Villanueva urged the public to heighten fire precautionary measures, especially during the dry season when the risk of fires is higher due to dry weather conditions.Proclamation 115-A issued by President Ferdinand Marcos Sr. on Feb. 24, 1966, declared March as Fire Prevention Month to remind people about the importance of fire safety and prevention.“We need to raise awareness among people about the dangers of the hot season. A small mistake could lead to a fire outbreak as things, and homes tend to get extremely dry during this time,” Villanueva said. “As water is scarce, we should be extra cautious and take all necessary measures to prevent any incident,” he added, taking into account the existing El Niño phenomenon.The CCFO will embark on several educational programs and campaigns to inform people about fire hazards, proper fire safety measures and emergency preparedness.Earlier this week, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) Visayas reported that Cebu will be affected by a dry spell due to El Niño.According to Pagasa, a dry spell occurs when there are three successive months of below-normal rainfall or two consecutive months of “significantly below-normal”rainfall.Below-normal rainfall refers to a reduction of 20 to 60 percent from the average precipitation levels for a specific area, while significantly below-normal rainfall indicates a decrease of more than 60 percent compared to the norm.Villanueva urged the public to conserve water, particularly during this time, so that the fire department can respond swiftly in case of fire emergencies.The CCFO, which sources water from the Metropolitan Cebu Water District, is currently not having any issues with its supply, said Villanueva.To mark the opening of Fire Prevention Month on March 1, the CCFO held two motorcades traversing routes from north to south to spread fire safety information in various areas. / KJF licensed online casinos THE Cebu City Government and the Cebu Provincial Government were urged to settle the Cebu Bus Rapid Transit (CBRT) disagreements, as it may result in inconvenience to majority of Cebuanos if it develops into a legal standoff.Cebu City Councilor Nestor Archival, during the Openline News Program on March 12, 2024, maintained his resolution passed during the recent regular session last Wednesday, March 6, for the Cebu City Government through Mayor Michael Rama and Cebu Provincial Government under Governor Gwendolyn Garcia to sit down and discuss a practical solution for ongoing CBRT project in the portion of the Osmeña Boulevard that was affected by the latter's cease-and-desist order.The Council's minority floor leader said that if two leaders do not compromise and bring the matter to court, the Cebuanos will be the ones to suffer."Kung mag-standoff ni, unya maabot ang ting-uwan, unya naay daghan lungag diha, there will be some accidents diha nga mahitabo. Kinsa man ang mabasol diha, diba ang duha gihapon ka institution?" Archival said.(If this develops into a standoff and the rainy season comes, flooding will be noted as there are many holes in the construction site. There will be some accidents. Who will be blamed for it? The two institutions, rights?)He said CBRT was designed to alleviate the commuting woes of the city's residents from Barangay Bulacao and Talamban and for them to enjoy an efficient and seamless public transportation, particularly those who cannot afford to have a private vehicle.Rama threatens lawsuit over CBRT oppositionArchival was a known ally of former mayor Tomas Osmeña, who has been considered the brains behind the CBRT project. He was also part of the team that conceptualized it.But Rama on Thursday, March 7, refused to meet with Garcia to talk about the project, reiterating his desire to file charges against officials who called for the project’s halt.“Why will I have to sit down? They should know where they are. That’s a matter of territory,” Rama said on Friday, March 8, 2024.With the mayor's refusal, Archival said he is planning to submit another resolution, reiterating his earlier call for dialogue between the two local government units.He added that he is open to a suggestion where the City Council initiates a dialogue directly with the Provincial Board to reach a compromise on the project.Disputes should’ve been settled before implementation, says Imee"Ang ako siguro kay from the Vice Mayor itself and the Vice Governor. So, we will be having that resolution, and I will make that," Archival said.He said they acknowledge that the governor's argument is valid, as the bus station, which is part of the CBRT project located in front of the Cebu Capitol building, will potentially block the view of the “heritage” infrastructure built in 1936.He also suggested that both officials avoid throwing antics in the media, regarding the project, as this will result in more tension due to emotions involved."Instead of going to the media, doing some arguments, we are asking them to sit down and try to find ways nga pwede ba nato ni masabot. Kanang if kanang estasyonon naa duol sa Capitol kay kung pwede ba natu i-atras," Archival said."I have talked to Engineer (Norvin) Imbong (the project manager of the CBRT) and they have already raised these items to DOTr (Department of Transporation) og gina-aksyunan nana nila," he added.Archival added that there is a possibility of redesigning the bus stations, including shortening the height of its roof to adjust to the view of the Capitol building.In his opinion, halting the CBRT project will result in putting Cebu in a bad light for future benefactors and affect its credit rating from the perspective of the international financial institutions that approved loan packages for vital government programs and projects.On February 27, Garcia issued Memorandum 16-2024, ordering the Hunan Road and Bridge Construction Group Ltd., contractor of the CBRT Package 1, to cease construction of bus stations along Osmeña Blvd. in front of the Capitol building, citing lacking necessary authorization from the National Historical Commission of the Philippines (NHCP).A day after, during the Council’s regular session on February 28, Vice Mayor Raymond Alvin Garcia, who was the governor's nephew, urged the Office of the Building Official to issue a cease-and-desist order against the construction of the CBRT bus station through his privilege speech.Garcia: Osmeña Boulevard under Cebu Provincial Government Vice Mayor Garcia argued that the Capitol building has heritage protection following the declaration of a National Historical Landmark by the NHCP.Rama criticized his vice mayor for meeting with Governor Garcia and City officials to discuss CBRT matters, calling it a betrayal. He also expressed his disapproval during a meeting with the legislative body.Meanwhile, Osmeña cautioned the governor about the possibility of legal action if she continues to impede the CBRT construction.Tomas hits back at GwenThe CBRT project's groundbreaking ceremony was led by President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. on February 27, 2023, and was joined by the mayor, governor, Transportation Secretary Jaime Bautista, and House Speaker Martin Romualdez.The project has a funding allocation of P28.8 billion, funded by the World Bank, French Development Agency, and the Philippine Government.
