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 FOLLOWING the collapse of a bridge in Baltimore, Maryland in the United States after it was hit by a ship, a local legislator has urged government agencies, as well as the Cebu-Cordova Link Expressway Corp. (CCLEC), to undertake precautionary measures to prevent a similar disaster. Cebu City Councilor Rey Gealon, who also chairs the traffic management and coordination committee, said he will request Mayor Michael Rama to convene a multi-agency task force consisting of CCLEC, Maritime Industry Authority, Philippine Coast Guard, Philippine Navy, Philippine Ports Authority, and Philippine National Police-Maritime Group, among others, to craft guidelines and establish a protocol for adequate emergency response to a disaster similar to what happened in Baltimore.On Tuesday, March 26, 2024, a cargo ship lost power and rammed into the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore, causing the bridge to collapse in seconds. Six individuals are reportedly missing and presumed dead.Gealon urged CCLEC to undertake precautionary measures to avoid a disaster like the one in Baltimore, considering numerous container vessels traverse the Cebu harbor and under the bridge.He said he will formally file these measures through a resolution before the City Council in their next regular session.Design of CCLEXCCLEC, in a statement to SunStar Cebu on Wednesday, March 27, assured the public that Cebu’s third bridge linking the Cebu mainland to Mactan Island, underwent several studies, including a vessel collision analysis, to ensure that it is “safe and structurally stable” considering that it is above the busy Mactan Channel.It said the design of Cebu-Cordova Link Expressway (CCLEX) significantly considered vessel collision, considering its main span crosses the busy waterway in Cebu.“CCLEX’s main bridge has a maximum ship collision capacity of 110 meganewton (or equivalent to an 80,000 deadweight tonnage bulk cargo ship colliding onto the pile cap when traveling at 7.5 knots),” said the CCLEC.CCLEC noted that the height of the main bridge from the sea is 52.50 meters with a width of 260 meters, allowing large vessels to pass safely and securely underneath.The bridge, according to CCLEC, is equipped with a Bridge Management and Monitoring System, which is used to measure and monitor the main bridge’s structure conditions via different sensors including road weather information system. The sensors are used to measure and monitor road weather conditions such as temperature, relative humidity, wind speed, wind direction, rainfall, visibility and atmospheric pressure. The bridge also has stay cable accelerometers which detect fatigue loads, vibrational modes, and natural frequencies, among others. It is equipped with GPS position sensors, which detect displacement between the ends of the main bridge deck, and expansion joint displacement sensors, which are used to measure the accurate position of the relevant components of the main bridge such as the tops of the pylons.Marine signals were installed on the sides of the main bridge deck to serve as a navigational aid for ships going in and out of Cebu’s ports. CCLEX connects Cebu City on the mainland to the town of Cordova on Mactan Island. The first two bridges connect the cities of Mandaue and Lapu-Lapu.Bridge boardMeanwhile, Mactan-Cebu Bridge Management Board (MCBMB) chairperson and Cebu Gov. Gwendolyn Garcia told reporters on Wednesday that the board is focused on establishing a roundabout or rotunda along the intersection of UN Ave. in Mandaue City leading to the Marcelo Fernan Bridge, also colloquially known as the second Cebu–Mactan Bridge. Garcia said the traffic in the intersection sometimes reaches the second bridge during peak hours. The weight of the vehicles might have an impact on the bridge’s load capacity, she said.The rotunda is seen to reduce the stress load to the bridge as it will improve the flow of traffic from the Mactan-Cebu International Airport going to mainland Cebu, she added. The MCBMB is composed of the local government units that touch the three bridges, namely the cities of Cebu, Mandaue, Lapu-Lapu and the town of Cordova.Garcia said the Department of Public Works and Highways is also on the board. The agency’s role is to handle the bridges’ maintenance, she said.In November 1990, mv Sanko Elegance, a Korean-registered vessel, rammed into one of the columns of the Mactan-Mandaue Bridge, or the first bridge, at the height of super typhoon Ruping.The damage forced authorities to close the bridge for more than two months. The bridge at the time was the lone link between Cebu mainland and Mactan Island. It was reopened to light vehicular traffic in January 1991. / JJL, EHP

PRESIDENT Ferdinand Marcos Jr. will bring home $4 billion, or P220 billion worth of investment deals from his visit to Germany.On Tuesday, March 12, 2024, the Department of Trade and Industry held the Philippine-Germany business forum in Berlin where eight different types of agreements, three letters of intent (LOI) from different German companies, two memoranda of agreement (MOA), and three memoranda of understanding (MOU), covering various sectors, were signed.The LOIs were for the development of a partner hospital to become a training center to support the training needs of other lower tier hospitals, Innovation Think Tank (ITT) hub and “spoke model” to address the strategic target of an inclusive innovation ecosystem in the Philippines, and for the strategic and digital partnership in healthcare with the Department of Health (DOH) with the goal of revolutionizing healthcare in the Philippines, ensuring safety, quality, accessibility and affordability.Through a memorandum of agreement the Philippine government and a German company will embark into a Public Private Partnership to rehabilitate, reclaim, and recultivate degraded farm lands in the Philippines, while another MOA is aimed at expanding potential collaborations in mobility solutions, software services, manufacturing, factory automation, logistics services, energy, security, safety systems for buildings, consumer appliances, and healthcare.Marcos also witnessed the signing of MOU for the establishment of fully integrated solar cell manufacturing facility in the country, manufacturing facility that will modify automobiles into high-end 1 of 1 version and armor protected cars, as well as manufacture military grade armored personnel carriers for the Asian market and data centers that will host a digital insurance platform that will serve the Philippines and Asean region as the group’s main expansion outside of the European Union.In his speech, Marcos expressed gratitude to the German business leaders for participating in the event.He touted the Philippines as the “best choice for investments,” as he reiterated his administration’s commitment to ensure efficient support to foreign investors through purposeful reforms of key legislative amendments.“Together with you as our strategic partner, we can make these investments happen in the Philippines. I invite esteemed German business leaders to continue to keep in mind the Philippines as a reliable partner that can support your market expansion and your operations,” he said.“We prioritize the ease of doing business, exemplified by efforts to simplify tax payments and to streamline regulations, showcasing our unwavering support for businesses,” he added.Marcos noted the amendments to the Public Service Act (PSA), Foreign Investments Act (FIA), Retail Trade Liberalization Act (RTLA), and Renewable Energy (RE) Act, which “mark a new era for strategic investments.”He added the streamlined business registration, infrastructure development and the Comprehensive Tax Reform Program (Create Act), which made the Philippines one of the fastest-growing economies in Asia.The President also highlighted other government efforts such as the overhaul of fiscal incentive structures and responsive policies and the public-private partnership (PPPs), which all play pivotal roles in promoting private sector participation.Marcos also cited the establishment of the Maharlika Investment Fund, “which underscores the government’s dedication to financing priority projects and driving socioeconomic impact.”The chief executive also said that the Philippines is turning to Germany to further foster strong business partnerships and collaboration particularly in renewable energy being European Union’s biggest economy both in Gross Domestic Products and population and a global force in technology and innovation.He said he is always elated by the interest of German companies to support the country’s commitment to sustainability and climate resiliency.“To further support these investments, we have put in place several energy transition policies including investment enablers designed to incentivize energy efficiency,” said Marcos.“We are also working on developing programs that will support and facilitate the efforts to decarbonize our economy. I have high hopes that we can welcome the opportunity for greater cooperation on climate change and energy transition,” he added.He noted that the Philippines is positioning itself as a regional hub for smart and sustainable manufacturing by attracting sustainability-driven strategic investments powered by renewable energy.Marcos said the country recognizes that there are complementarities to be explored in critical minerals, and it is open to having a dedicated dialogue with German companies on the sustainable processing of green metals to be supported by strong adherence to high labor and environmental standards.With the recent global challenges, the President underscored the dangers of limited sourcing, or concentrating supplies in a single country, as he urged for the urgent need to diversify production locations and explore alternative materials to de-risk and minimize disruptions in supply chains.“Moreover, the transition to a low-carbon or net-zero scenario has further propelled the de-risking trend,” Marcos said.“The Philippines and Germany both have aspirations for de-risked and diversified production and market value chains, which future-proofs our economies from the geo-political vagaries of our times,” he added.Marcos also expressed gratitude to the Filipino community in Berlin for their unwavering support as they contributed to the government’s efforts to secure foreign investments through their invaluable work.“You are the envoys, para kayong mga ambassador lahat ng ating kultura. You exemplify the values of family, faith, honesty, hard work, compassion, and solidarity wherever you go,” Marcos told the Filipino community gathering.“Your presence in host countries fosters, hindi lamang dito sa Germany kundi lahat ng ating mga kababayan na nagtatrabaho sa iba’t-ibang bansa at -- the host countries foster goodwill and understanding. It strengthens the bonds between our two nations. It enriches the global community,” he added.Marcos vowed that his administration will continue to work hard and match their contributions by reforms and programs under the “Bagong Pilipinas” agenda.Marcos was the first Philippine president to address German business leaders in 10 years, coinciding with the 70th anniversary of the Philippine-Germany diplomatic relations.

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.

FOLLOWING the collapse of a bridge in Baltimore, Maryland in the United States after it was hit by a ship, a local legislator has urged government agencies, as well as the Cebu-Cordova Link Expressway Corp. (CCLEC), to undertake precautionary measures to prevent a similar disaster. Cebu City Councilor Rey Gealon, who also chairs the traffic management and coordination committee, said he will request Mayor Michael Rama to convene a multi-agency task force consisting of CCLEC, Maritime Industry Authority, Philippine Coast Guard, Philippine Navy, Philippine Ports Authority, and Philippine National Police-Maritime Group, among others, to craft guidelines and establish a protocol for adequate emergency response to a disaster similar to what happened in Baltimore.On Tuesday, March 26, 2024, a cargo ship lost power and rammed into the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore, causing the bridge to collapse in seconds. Six individuals are reportedly missing and presumed dead.Gealon urged CCLEC to undertake precautionary measures to avoid a disaster like the one in Baltimore, considering numerous container vessels traverse the Cebu harbor and under the bridge.He said he will formally file these measures through a resolution before the City Council in their next regular session.Design of CCLEXCCLEC, in a statement to SunStar Cebu on Wednesday, March 27, assured the public that Cebu’s third bridge linking the Cebu mainland to Mactan Island, underwent several studies, including a vessel collision analysis, to ensure that it is “safe and structurally stable” considering that it is above the busy Mactan Channel.It said the design of Cebu-Cordova Link Expressway (CCLEX) significantly considered vessel collision, considering its main span crosses the busy waterway in Cebu.“CCLEX’s main bridge has a maximum ship collision capacity of 110 meganewton (or equivalent to an 80,000 deadweight tonnage bulk cargo ship colliding onto the pile cap when traveling at 7.5 knots),” said the CCLEC.CCLEC noted that the height of the main bridge from the sea is 52.50 meters with a width of 260 meters, allowing large vessels to pass safely and securely underneath.The bridge, according to CCLEC, is equipped with a Bridge Management and Monitoring System, which is used to measure and monitor the main bridge’s structure conditions via different sensors including road weather information system. The sensors are used to measure and monitor road weather conditions such as temperature, relative humidity, wind speed, wind direction, rainfall, visibility and atmospheric pressure.

I invite esteemed German business leaders to continue to keep in mind the Philippines as a reliable partner that can support your market expansion and your operations,” he said.“We prioritize the ease of doing business, exemplified by efforts to simplify tax payments and to streamline regulations, showcasing our unwavering support for businesses,” he added.Marcos noted the amendments to the Public Service Act (PSA), Foreign Investments Act (FIA), Retail Trade Liberalization Act (RTLA), and Renewable Energy (RE) Act, which “mark a new era for strategic investments.”He added the streamlined business registration, infrastructure development and the Comprehensive Tax Reform Program (Create Act), which made the Philippines one of the fastest-growing economies in Asia.The President also highlighted other government efforts such as the overhaul of fiscal incentive structures and responsive policies and the public-private partnership (PPPs), which all play pivotal roles in promoting private sector participation.Marcos also cited the establishment of the Maharlika Investment Fund, “which underscores the government’s dedication to financing priority projects and driving socioeconomic impact.”The chief executive also said that the Philippines is turning to Germany to further foster strong business partnerships and collaboration particularly in renewable energy being European Union’s biggest economy both in Gross Domestic Products and population and a global force in technology and innovation.He said he is always elated by the interest of German companies to support the country’s commitment to sustainability and climate resiliency.“To further support these investments, we have put in place several energy transition policies including investment enablers designed to incentivize energy efficiency,” said Marcos.“We are also working on developing programs that will support and facilitate the efforts to decarbonize our economy. I have high hopes that we can welcome the opportunity for greater cooperation on climate change and energy transition,” he added.He noted that the Philippines is positioning itself as a regional hub for smart and sustainable manufacturing by attracting sustainability-driven strategic investments powered by renewable energy.Marcos said the country recognizes that there are complementarities to be explored in critical minerals, and it is open to having a dedicated dialogue with German companies on the sustainable processing of green metals to be supported by strong adherence to high labor and environmental standards.With the recent global challenges, the President underscored the dangers of limited sourcing, or concentrating supplies in a single country, as he urged for the urgent need to diversify production locations and explore alternative materials to de-risk and minimize disruptions in supply chains.“Moreover, the transition to a low-carbon or net-zero scenario has further propelled the de-risking trend,” Marcos said.“The Philippines and Germany both have aspirations for de-risked and diversified production and market value chains, which future-proofs our economies from the geo-political vagaries of our times,” he added.Marcos also expressed gratitude to the Filipino community in Berlin for their unwavering support as they contributed to the government’s efforts to secure foreign investments through their invaluable work.“You are the envoys, para kayong mga ambassador lahat ng ating kultura. You exemplify the values of family, faith, honesty, hard work, compassion, and solidarity wherever you go,” Marcos told the Filipino community gathering.“Your presence in host countries fosters, hindi lamang dito sa Germany kundi lahat ng ating mga kababayan na nagtatrabaho sa iba’t-ibang bansa at -- the host countries foster goodwill and understanding. It strengthens the bonds between our two nations. It enriches the global community,” he added.Marcos vowed that his administration will continue to work hard and match their contributions by reforms and programs under the “Bagong Pilipinas” agenda.Marcos was the first Philippine president to address German business leaders in 10 years, coinciding with the 70th anniversary of the Philippine-Germany diplomatic relations.
