(TPM) The Philippines Online Gambling Guide 2022 Philippines MORE than 10,000 farmers in Cebu City have continued to endure the effects of the El Niño weather phenomenon since February 2024, saying they had not yet received any assistance from the City Government.Casimero Pilones, head of the Alliance of Cebu City Farmers Association, said they had been invited to executive sessions by the Cebu City Council to voice their concerns, but to date, they had not received any assistance.Asked about the situation of farmers in Cebu City during this El Niño period, Pilones said the farmers are in a very pitiful state, as there is no water available for their crops.“Ang mga farmers karon nagkinahanglan jud support sa Cebu City... Kung makapangita untag tubig nga magamit namo, kay luoy kaayo ang mga mag-uuma. Wala jud makaon,” Pilones told SunStar Cebu on Friday, April 5, 2024.(Farmers today really need the support of Cebu City to find water that we can use because the farmers are in a sorry state. They have nothing to eat.)Pilones said what farmers need now is a good amount of water supply, suggesting that the City Government could provide them with water pumps and drills so they can search for water in springs.He said they had requested materials from the Cebu City Agriculture Department (CAD) such as water tanks, hoses, barrels and sprayers, but the department had not provided them with these materials this year.He added that the farmers would like to request the City Government to provide them with high-quality seedlings, as low-quality seedlings would affect the quality of vegetables they harvest later, leading to lower prices.The Alliance of Cebu City Farmers Association is composed of 72 farmer associations, with each association having at least 200 to 300 members.NegligenceCebu City Councilor Pastor Alcover Jr., chairman of the committee on agriculture and rural development, has called for the resignation of Cebu City Agriculture Department (CAD) head Joselito Baclayon due to gross negligence of duty.In his privilege speech last Wednesday, April 3, Alcover accused Baclayon of not having plans to address the plight of farmers who are affected by the El Niño phenomenon.Alcover said there will be around 11,000 farmers, excluding their families, who will suffer from hunger due to the drought brought by the phenomenon.Unfulfilled, unspentAlcover said farmers in rural areas submitted requests for farming equipment last year, but these requests had not been fulfilled.He added that the CAD failed to utilize the allocated budget for farmers in 2023, with a significant portion remaining unspent.According to Alcover, the City Government allocated P85.9 million for farmers, but only P21 million was spent, with the remaining P64 million returned to the government treasury.He added that another P7 million, included in the P19 million Bayanihan program in 2021, was also returned to the government’s treasury. Only P12 million of the allocated amount was spent for the farmers.SunStar Cebu tried to get the side of Baclayon on the matter through text message and calls, but to no avail.Last yearAs early as March 2023, when El Niño was still just a possibility and after the Metropolitan Cebu Water District (MCWD) announced a drop in water production due to the onset of summer, Cebu City Mayor Michael Rama already ordered water supply secured for agriculture to ensure food security.The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) subsequently declared the start of the El Niño phenomenon in the Philippines on July 4, 2023, saying it may go on until the first quarter of 2024.El Niño increases the likelihood of below-normal rainfall, which could bring dry spells and drought.Baclayon said then that the CAD would identify water sources that could be used to sustain farming areas and expressed optimism that the City was prepared for the El Niño phenomenon because of earlier steps it had already taken to address the threat.Three months earlier, in April 2023, as some city farmers experienced a 60 percent plunge in their yields after the heat index in Cebu reached 41 degrees Celsius, Baclayon said half of the city’s 11,000 farmers had already received drums in which to store water, and hoses to enable farmers to connect to more distant springs or rivers.Baclayon also said farmers from Cebu City’s 28 upland barangays produce vegetables, fruit crops and livestock, among others, while Mindanao, Cebu towns and neighboring provinces are the source of the rest of the city’s food supply.This yearAs the Pagasa forecast, it indeed declared Cebu under a dry spell in the last week of February 2024, and then as undergoing drought in March 2024.Last March 26, state meteorologist Jhomer Eclarino warned that the heat index in Cebu in the coming months could go up further to the “dangerous” 51 degree Celsius level.On Thursday, the MCWD announced a 16 percent drop in its water production for April 3, 2024 to only at least 258,548 cubic meters of water.The water district said its usual daily production was 310,000 cubic meters a day before the occurrence of the El Niño.

NEWLY appointed Philippine National Police (PNP) chief General Rommel Marbil has warned policemen against using cell phones for recreational purposes while on duty.In his first press conference on Tuesday, April 2, 2024, Marbil said that instead of using their cellphones, policemen must focus on performing their duties, especially in preventing and responding to crimes and ensuring peace and order in their areas of jurisdiction.“This is my first and last warning, no cellphone during duties. We need patrol, pagka na huli ka namin nag-cellphone, there will be no forgiveness. Very strict kami diyan. Gusto namin duty, duty, kapag patrol, patrol. Andito ‘yung mga commanders natin. I need beat patrols, gusto ko maramdaman ng tao ‘yung mga pulis natin sa baba,” he said.(This is my first and last warning, no cell phones during duties. We need patrols, if we catch you using a cell phone, there will be no forgiveness. We are very strict about this. We want duty, duty, when on patrol, patrol. Our commanders are here. I need beat patrols, I want people to feel the presence of our police officers on the ground.)He, however, acknowledges that cell phones are the primary mode of communication on the ground.“You know, if you look at the tao naman na masyado naman matagal, hindi na siguro (nakikipag-communicate) yun. I caught many people mga policemen natin when I was regional director. Hindi naman ho nag-cell phone yan, may tawag. If we see them watching, e, alam mo naman nag -pe-Facebook lang yan o nanonood ng video, kaya meron naman kaming discernment for you. Hindi naman kami ohnahuli tapon kaagad. Discernment, ano ang ginagawa niyo during that time,” said Marbil.(You know, if you look at the people who take too long, maybe they're not communicating. I caught many of our policemen when I was regional director. They're not necessarily on their phone; they might be receiving a call. If we see them watching, you know they're just on Facebook or watching a video, so we have discernment for you. We don't just catch and throw right away.

Prague President Petr Pavel and his wife First Lady Eva Pavlová hosted a dinner toast at the Prague Castle for Marcos and his delegation.In his remarks, Marcos highlighted the strong relationship between the Philippines and the Czech Republic.“The Czech Republic has found many, many parallels with the two countries that are built upon— well for the history, is the remarkable connections between the Czech Republic and the Philippines starting of course with, I think everyone is aware of the experience of our national hero, Dr. Jose Rizal here in Prague as he was mentored by his friend, Ferdinand Blumentritt,” Marcos said.“The relationship between the Czech Republic and the Philippines, I believe from this point on, will not only continue but will grow stronger, and grow more robust, and this will be of course of mutual benefit to both our countries,” the President added as he emphasized the 50th anniversary of the diplomatic ties of the two countries.Three MOUs were signed between Czech business leaders and the Philippines through the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), particularly in the semi-conductor and IT-BPM sectors.The first MOU was signed by Semiconductor and Electronics Industries in the Philippines Foundation Inc. president Dr. Danilo Lachica, and Electrical and Electronic Association of the Czech Republic President Jiři Holoubek for the cooperation in extensive initiatives on the bilateral exchange of information, organization of bilateral trade, economic development and exchange missions, skills, and knowledge and innovation.IT and Business Process Association of the Philippines, Inc. president and CEO Jonathan Jack R.

Over the past 20 years, annual trade in energy-related critical minerals has increased from $53 billion to $378 billion.Marcos also called for the revival of the Philippine-European Union (EU) Free Trade Agreement (FTA) negotiations to further enhance the trade relations of the two countries.“We believe that the resumption of these negotiations will be a big step in furthering our trade relations, with the end view to establish a stable, predictable, and enabling business environment that promotes inclusive and sustainable growth and development,” he said.Negotiations for the PH-EU trade and investment agreement were launched on December 22, 2015, followed by the second negotiations, which took place in February 2017.The negotiations, however, have since been put on hold until July 2023 while the EU and the Philippines announced their intention to begin technical discussions to potentially resume negotiations.

At kayo, aking mga kababayan ay nagsisilbing inspirasyon. Kayo ang inspirasyon namin ng mga taga-gobyerno upang ipagpatuloy ang aming ginagawa, ang aming trabaho,” he added.(I promise you that we will work hard to improve and grow our economy because it is the right of every Filipino.

MORE than 10,000 farmers in Cebu City have continued to endure the effects of the El Niño weather phenomenon since February 2024, saying they had not yet received any assistance from the City Government.Casimero Pilones, head of the Alliance of Cebu City Farmers Association, said they had been invited to executive sessions by the Cebu City Council to voice their concerns, but to date, they had not received any assistance.Asked about the situation of farmers in Cebu City during this El Niño period, Pilones said the farmers are in a very pitiful state, as there is no water available for their crops.“Ang mga farmers karon nagkinahanglan jud support sa Cebu City... Kung makapangita untag tubig nga magamit namo, kay luoy kaayo ang mga mag-uuma. Wala jud makaon,” Pilones told SunStar Cebu on Friday, April 5, 2024.(Farmers today really need the support of Cebu City to find water that we can use because the farmers are in a sorry state. They have nothing to eat.)Pilones said what farmers need now is a good amount of water supply, suggesting that the City Government could provide them with water pumps and drills so they can search for water in springs.He said they had requested materials from the Cebu City Agriculture Department (CAD) such as water tanks, hoses, barrels and sprayers, but the department had not provided them with these materials this year.He added that the farmers would like to request the City Government to provide them with high-quality seedlings, as low-quality seedlings would affect the quality of vegetables they harvest later, leading to lower prices.The Alliance of Cebu City Farmers Association is composed of 72 farmer associations, with each association having at least 200 to 300 members.NegligenceCebu City Councilor Pastor Alcover Jr., chairman of the committee on agriculture and rural development, has called for the resignation of Cebu City Agriculture Department (CAD) head Joselito Baclayon due to gross negligence of duty.In his privilege speech last Wednesday, April 3, Alcover accused Baclayon of not having plans to address the plight of farmers who are affected by the El Niño phenomenon.Alcover said there will be around 11,000 farmers, excluding their families, who will suffer from hunger due to the drought brought by the phenomenon.Unfulfilled, unspentAlcover said farmers in rural areas submitted requests for farming equipment last year, but these requests had not been fulfilled.He added that the CAD failed to utilize the allocated budget for farmers in 2023, with a significant portion remaining unspent.According to Alcover, the City Government allocated P85.9 million for farmers, but only P21 million was spent, with the remaining P64 million returned to the government treasury.He added that another P7 million, included in the P19 million Bayanihan program in 2021, was also returned to the government’s treasury. Only P12 million of the allocated amount was spent for the farmers.SunStar Cebu tried to get the side of Baclayon on the matter through text message and calls, but to no avail.Last yearAs early as March 2023, when El Niño was still just a possibility and after the Metropolitan Cebu Water District (MCWD) announced a drop in water production due to the onset of summer, Cebu City Mayor Michael Rama already ordered water supply secured for agriculture to ensure food security.The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) subsequently declared the start of the El Niño phenomenon in the Philippines on July 4, 2023, saying it may go on until the first quarter of 2024.El Niño increases the likelihood of below-normal rainfall, which could bring dry spells and drought.Baclayon said then that the CAD would identify water sources that could be used to sustain farming areas and expressed optimism that the City was prepared for the El Niño phenomenon because of earlier steps it had already taken to address the threat.Three months earlier, in April 2023, as some city farmers experienced a 60 percent plunge in their yields after the heat index in Cebu reached 41 degrees Celsius, Baclayon said half of the city’s 11,000 farmers had already received drums in which to store water, and hoses to enable farmers to connect to more distant springs or rivers.Baclayon also said farmers from Cebu City’s 28 upland barangays produce vegetables, fruit crops and livestock, among others, while Mindanao, Cebu towns and neighboring provinces are the source of the rest of the city’s food supply.This yearAs the Pagasa forecast, it indeed declared Cebu under a dry spell in the last week of February 2024, and then as undergoing drought in March 2024.Last March 26, state meteorologist Jhomer Eclarino warned that the heat index in Cebu in the coming months could go up further to the “dangerous” 51 degree Celsius level.On Thursday, the MCWD announced a 16 percent drop in its water production for April 3, 2024 to only at least 258,548 cubic meters of water.The water district said its usual daily production was 310,000 cubic meters a day before the occurrence of the El Niño.

We need patrol, pagka na huli ka namin nag-cellphone, there will be no forgiveness. Very strict kami diyan. Gusto namin duty, duty, kapag patrol, patrol. Andito ‘yung mga commanders natin. I need beat patrols, gusto ko maramdaman ng tao ‘yung mga pulis natin sa baba,” he said.(This is my first and last warning, no cell phones during duties. We need patrols, if we catch you using a cell phone, there will be no forgiveness. We are very strict about this. We want duty, duty, when on patrol, patrol. Our commanders are here. I need beat patrols, I want people to feel the presence of our police officers on the ground.)He, however, acknowledges that cell phones are the primary mode of communication on the ground.“You know, if you look at the tao naman na masyado naman matagal, hindi na siguro (nakikipag-communicate) yun. I caught many people mga policemen natin when I was regional director. Hindi naman ho nag-cell phone yan, may tawag. If we see them watching, e, alam mo naman nag -pe-Facebook lang yan o nanonood ng video, kaya meron naman kaming discernment for you. Hindi naman kami ohnahuli tapon kaagad. Discernment, ano ang ginagawa niyo during that time,” said Marbil.(You know, if you look at the people who take too long, maybe they're not communicating. I caught many of our policemen when I was regional director. They're not necessarily on their phone; they might be receiving a call. If we see them watching, you know they're just on Facebook or watching a video, so we have discernment for you. We don't just catch and throw right away.

There is no forgiveness kapag nagkakamali ang mga pulis natin… We just come up with better measurements for our policemen na dapat ito ang standard na hahabulin niyo. If you cannot cope with the standard, then we will teach you how,” he said.(What we need is clarity on our direction, and if you deviate from it, then you're out. There is no forgiveness when our police officers make mistakes... We just come up with better measurements for our policemen, which should be the standard you strive for. If you cannot meet the standard, then we will teach you how.)“Ang sabi ko nga, we lead by example. We need ‘yung mga officers doon sa taas to lead by example. Yun ang priority natin… Alam naman nila kung ano ang tama sa mali, e. Hindi na namin kayo i-striken. Kung hindi kayo capable, then we will remove you. We have parameters enough na to check ‘yung pulis natin kung magaling or hindi, so there is no need na kailangan magkamali mga tao natin. Hindi namin gagawin yun. Ayaw namin magkamali ang tao namin then we will help them,” he added.(As I mentioned, we lead by example. We need the officers at the top to lead by example. That's our priority... They know what's right and wrong. We won't strike you. If you're not capable, then we will remove you. We have enough parameters to assess whether our police officers are good or not, so there is no need for our people to make mistakes. We won't allow that. We don't want our people to make mistakes; instead, we will help them.)In his assumption speech, Marbil said that the PNP under his helm will focus on three things: the quality of leadership, knowledge, and ability; professionalism within the ranks; expanding our ability to uphold the law, maintain order, and fight local and transnational crimes in all forms and manifestations; and striving to increase the public’s level of trust in the national police agency.High-technology policingMeanwhile, Marbil said he is aiming to implement a five-year development plan on artificial intelligence (AI) use in smart policing and an ICT (information and communications technology) development roadmap in operations, including an active drive to recruit and train a new generation of police officers and support staff with technical expertise and specialized IT skills.He also raised the need to invest in AI technology and other capacity to improve efforts against cybercrimes including manpower.Marbil said the force's Anti-Cybercrime Group will be strengthened, noting the spike in cybercrimes or crimes on the internet like scamming.He noted the need for the police’s operations and efforts to keep up with the generational changes, especially in technology.Earlier, President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. ordered the PNP to beef up efforts against cybercrimes.
