A CEBU City lawmaker is hoping that the executive and legislative departments will reach a consensus during their bicameral meeting for the proposed revision of the Real Property Tax (RPT) Code. Councilor Noel Wenceslao said in a phone interview on Saturday, March 30, 2024, that the meeting will take place on Thursday, April 4. “I don’t know if the majority of the council will support this [proposed ordinance],” said Wenceslao, chairman of the committee on budget and finance. Councilor Nestor Archival Sr. publicly opposed the proposed revised RPT Code on March 18, emphasizing the need to avoid placing additional burdens on businesses and the public.Wenceslao this will be the first bicameral meeting between the two departments regarding the proposed ordinance revising the RPT Code. Wenceslao believed that the two departments will look into the new valuation of properties, as it will impact taxation.Before the bicameral meeting, Wenceslao said the council had tentatively scheduled the second reading for the proposed ordinance on Wednesday, April 3. However, he was unsure if it had been added to the agenda. Wenceslao said he might move to defer the deliberation, considering the bicameral meeting scheduled for the following day.Not doableMayor Michael Rama has repeatedly urged the passage of the new RPT code by March, stating that the City can formulate regulations for its implementation later. However, Wenceslao previously said it would be impossible to pass the ordinance within that timeframe.The council last met on March 20. There was a special online session last Wednesday, March 27, but it was only for the deliberation of the proposed P96.94 million budget for the mitigation of the effects of weather phenomenon El Niño in the city. Wenceslao anticipates that there will be no further public hearings before the third and final reading of the proposed ordinance. Last March 20, Vice Mayor Raymond Alvin Garcia questioned the timeliness of implementing the RPT, noting that many taxpayers are still recovering from the Covid-19 pandemic and Typhoon Odette (Rai), which struck Cebu and other parts of Central Visayas on Dec. 16, 2021.Former mayor Tomas Osmeña also said the City will not face a budget deficit without adjusting the fair market values, asserting that the current tax collection system is still effective.The Cebu City Government has not updated its fair market values in 21 years, the last revision being implemented in 2002. The Local Government Code of 1991 mandates local government units to revise real property assessments for RPT every three years. / AML What is the status of the casino industry in the Philippines 2022? Philippines FORMER Cebu City mayor Tomas “Tommy” Osmeña has challenged the Cebu Provincial Government’s ownership of the lot along Osmeña Blvd. where the Cebu Bus Rapid Transit (CBRT) project is being implemented.During a press conference on Tuesday, March 5, 2024, he warned that if this fiasco continues, he will be forced to exercise his rights and reclaim the ownership of Osmeña Blvd., which had been donated by his late father Sergio “Serging” Osmeña Jr.Osmeña said Osmeña Blvd., which the CBRT traverses, and its surrounding premises used to belong to Cebu Heights Inc.He said his father was its president and principal stockholder.“My father gave the Province properties, in exchange for other properties, which my father did not get. Technically speaking, the deal was not valid,” Osmeña said.However, the Provincial Government under the administration of Gov. Gwendolyn Garcia earlier insisted that it owns portions of Osmeña Blvd. “We will see each other in court,” Osmeña said, referring to the Province’s claims.“It’s all part of the Cebu Heights (Inc.) and it’s owned 100 percent by my father. Even the part of the Fuente Osmeña (Circle) is owned by my father. I even have the title for it,” he said.If the Provincial Government insists on stopping the CBRT project citing its ownership of the lot, Osmeña said he will reclaim the property.Administrative Order 253Then President Carlos Garcia signed Administrative Order 253 on Oct. 7, 1957, where he exonerated Serging, who was then governor, and three others for dishonesty and grave misconduct in office allegedly committed in connection with the execution of a deed of exchange involving certain parcels of land by and between the Province and Cebu Heights.Garcia then withheld action on the deed of exchange executed in November 1954.The exchange involved three big lots of the Province and 14 smaller lots of Cebu Heights, which formed part of two national roads in Cebu City.Meanwhile, the former mayor reacted negatively to the two resolutions passed by the Provincial Board (PB) on Monday demanding the stoppage of the CBRT implementation, and the Feb. 21 motion of the Cebu City Council, pushed by City Councilor James Anthony Cuenco, which called for the suspension of scheduled civil works for CBRT Packages 2 and 3.He said the National Government will not heed the call of the PB and City Council to halt the project’s civil works.He said both PB and the council have “no teeth” to stop the project.Osmeña said stopping the project will not solve the problem, but only worsen it.The CBRT was Osmeña’s brainchild. He had pushed for it when he was still mayor and then congressman.During the press con, he said he envisioned the CBRT to alleviate the commuting woes of residents in Barangay Talamban and Bulacao going to and from the downtown area, citing that a dedicated bus lane will be beneficial to Cebuanos who cannot acquire motor vehicles.Discussions on the proposed BRT system started during his term.In 1997, Osmeña visited Curitiba, Brazil, where the first BRT was implemented in 1974.Possible repercussionsIn 2008, the Asian Development Bank, World Bank and Overseas Economic Cooperation Fund of Japan approved the project’s pre-feasibility study, according to Osmeña.He said stopping the CBRT may result in a negative credit rating for the Philippine Government in terms of foreign financing and funding agreements with international financial institutions.“The Philippine Government will never have an international bilateral agreement because if you do that you will be blacklisted from all donors and donations around the world,” Osmeña said. “They will not spoil their international credit rating just because Councilor Cuenco and some crazy Provincial Board members start ego tripping and say we should stop CBRT.”He pointed out that the CBRT was funded not only by the World Bank but also by the French Development Agency and the Philippine Government.The CBRT took 20 years to get off the ground.The entire CBRT system is composed of three packages:Package 1 consists of a 2.38-kilometer segregated bus lane with four bus stations and 1.15 kilometers of pedestrian improvements from the Cebu South Bus Terminal to the Capitol building.Package 2 features a 10.8-kilometer segregated bus lane with 13 bus stations, including a bus terminal at the South Road Properties, a roundabout facility in Cebu IT Park, and a depot in SRP.Package 3 includes the construction of a 22.1-kilometer feeder route, with 76 bus stops including feeder terminals in Barangay Talamban in Cebu City and in Talisay City. / EHP

Looking ahead, our government remains committed to fostering a conducive and enabling environment for economic growth,” he added.Marcos also committed to continue implementing both demand- and supply-side interventions, including pro-investment reforms and strategic partnerships, in order to attract more investments in the Philippines.He noted that the enactment of initiatives such as the Public-Private Partnership Code and the 4PH Housing Program will further stimulate economic activity and create more job opportunities in the country.Meanwhile, Finance secretary Ralph Recto said the historic low unemployment rate, declining underemployment, and faster growth in the labor force indicates the continued improvement of the country’s jobs market and quality of employment for Filipinos.“These results are truly promising. We are more optimistic about providing more quality jobs for our people as the Marcos Jr. administration rolls out the red carpet for investors to enter the country. In tandem, we will prioritize empowering our workforce through substantial investments in human capital development. This will enhance their preparedness for high-quality employment opportunities,” Recto said.On the part of the agency, Recto said it will continue to foster an environment that is conducive to employment-generating investments such as ensuring the efficient implementation of the Corporate Recovery and Tax Incentives for Enterprises (Create) Act to attract more strategic investments into the country.
