CLIMATE change is making giant heat waves crawl slower across the globe and they are baking more people for a longer time with higher temperatures over larger areas, a new study finds.Since 1979, global heat waves are moving 20 percent more slowly — meaning more people stay hot longer — and they are happening 67 percent more often, according to a study in Friday’s Science Advances. The study found the highest temperatures in the heat waves are warmer than 40 years ago and the area under a heat dome is larger.Studies have shown heat waves worsening before, but this one is more comprehensive and concentrates heavily on not just temperature and area, but how long the high heat lasts and how it travels across continents, said study co-authors and climate scientists Wei Zhang of Utah State University and Gabriel Lau of Princeton University.Global heat waves From 1979 to 1983, global heat waves would last eight days on average, but by 2016 to 2020 that was up to 12 days, the study said.Eurasia was especially hit harder with longer lasting heat waves, the study said. Heat waves slowed down most in Africa, while North America and Australia saw the biggest increases in overall magnitude, which measures temperature and area, according to the study.“This paper sends a clear warning that climate change makes heat waves yet more dangerous in more ways than one,” said Lawrence Berkeley National Lab climate scientist Michael Wehner, who wasn’t part of the research.Just like in an oven, the longer the heat lasts, the more something cooks. In this case it’s people, the co-authors said.“Those heat waves are traveling slower and so slower so that basically means that ... there’s a heat wave sitting there and those heat waves could stay longer in the region,” Zhang said. “And the adverse impacts on our human society would be huge and increasing over the years.”The team conducted computer simulations showing this change was due to heat-trapping emissions that come from the burning of coal, oil and natural gas. The study found climate change’s fingerprint by simulating a world without greenhouse gas emissions and concluding it could not produce the worsening heat waves observed in the last 45 years.The study also looks at the changes in weather patterns that propagate heat waves. Atmospheric waves that move weather systems along, such as the jet stream, are weakening, so they are not moving heat waves along as quickly — west to east in most but not all continents, Zhang said.Big pictureSeveral outside scientists praised the big picture way Zhang and colleagues examined heat waves, showing the interaction with weather patterns and their global movement and especially how they are slowing down.This shows “how heat waves evolve in three dimensions and move regionally and across continents rather than looking at temperatures at individual locations,” said Kathy Jacobs, a University of Arizona climate scientist who wasn’t part of the study.“One of the most direct consequences of global warming is increasing heat waves,” said Woodwell Climate Research Center scientist Jennifer Francis, who wasn’t part of the study. “These results put a large exclamation point on that fact.” / AP What is the status of casino in the Philippines? Philippines THE executive department of Cebu City Hall has denied allegations that it has not given the Metropolitan Cebu Water District (MCWD) excavation permits that could have addressed the lack of water in 10 of the city’s upland barangays. However, based on the records of MCWD through its contractors, three applications for excavation permits of pipeline expansion projects remain unapproved by the City since 2023. Based on MCWD records, the applications for excavation permits for the pipeline expansion projects in barangays Binaliw, Cambinocot and Guba are still pending in the City Hall. The application for an excavation permit in Binaliw was submitted on July 3, 2023. The one for Cambinocot was submitted on May 11, and the one for Guba on Nov. 11. The same projects were discussed during one of the executive sessions conducted by the Cebu City Council on April 2, 2024, wherein Cebu City Councilor Nestor Archival brought up the concern as the water district had given him a copy of a letter making a follow-up with the City about its applications for excavation permits. Cebu City Administrator Collin Rosell, in an interview on Friday, April 19, said he was present at the same session, wherein he asked the MCWD representative to give him a copy of the documents MCWD had submitted to the City so the City could approve them right then and there. However, he said upon checking the documents submitted, he noticed that the location indicated in the requirements did not correspond with the one indicated on the application. “For example, the submitted application indicated was in Guba. But upon checking the requirements, the one stated there was Apas. These are the things that we really look into. We really have to check the supporting documents... because we’re talking about excavation here. It’s dangerous. Magpataka ra unya na sila og bangag (They might excavate indiscriminately),” said Rosell. He even said that no excavation permit application and supporting documents reached his table that was up for approval. Rosell said they required the water district to submit their application on April 2, the same day the executive session was conducted; however, no documents were submitted on that day. “Wala man gihapoy naabot sukad niadtong adlawa nga ipasubmit man tanan aron tan-awon aron ipatagad diha-diha dayon,” Rosell said. (Nothing has arrived since that day since everything has to be submitted so that it can be attended to immediately.)“Wala gyud sila’y na submit laktod pagkasulti. Kun naa man silay na submit, asa mana nila gi-submit ug kompleto na ba na?” he added. (They really did not submit anything. If they submitted anything, where did they submit it and is this complete already?)Rosell said should MCWD submit the documents one of these days, he will mark the documents “late” as MCWD was required to submit the application on the same day of the session. Contractors’ wordMCWD information officer Minerva Gerodias on Friday said it’s their contractors that send an application to the City Hall for the excavation permit. Gerodias said they communicate with their contractors and based on their feedback, their applications remain unapproved. Gerodias, however, said the water district has no idea what supporting documents its contractors submitted to the City, explaining that it is the responsibility of the contractors to work on the permits based on their agreement. The pipeline expansion project could have helped provide water to the barangays in the upland areas of the city with water coming from the Lusaran bulk water project. According to a previous report of SunStar Cebu, the pipeline expansion projects could have benefitted 10 mountain barangays. With the absence of pipes that could have provided water to some upland barangays, the water from Lusaran is currently supplying water to Barangays Busay, Lahug, Pit-os and Kamputhaw. ConflictWith the ongoing conflict between MCWD and City Hall, SunStar Cebu asked Rosell whether the City will approve the applications if MCWD will submit the applications, Rosell answered, “The City approves applications as long as the supporting documents are complete.” He added that there is no ongoing conflict between the City and MCWD, only with some of the sitting directors who refused to follow orders from the Local Water Utilities Administration (LWUA). “There is no conflict between the City and MCWD. There are some people there, some directors, who were suspended by LWUA, but refused to step down. The point is I do not see any conflict,” said Rosell in Cebuano. Rosell said it’s the technical infrastructure committee that reviews applications for excavation permits. He said some of the requirements in applying for an excavation permit include location, duration of the excavation, safety measures to be implemented, and excavation plan.The LWUA suspended chairman Jose Daluz III, and directors Miguelito Pato and Jodelyn May Seno for six months last March 15, replacing them with an interim board as the LWUA sought to look into issues at the water district, including the alleged failure to comply with procurement laws. The trio has not recognized the authority of the LWUA to suspend them.

Gambling Licenses in the Philippines CEBU City Mayor Michael Rama has called for the ouster of Cebu Bus Rapid Transit (CBRT) project manager Norvim Imbong due to alleged mismanagement of the project.In an interview on Friday, March 1, 2024, Rama said he already communicated with Transportation Secretary Jaime Bautista regarding his “decision” to remove Imbong from the project. Over Cebu City Hall’s online program “Ingna’ng Mayor” on Thursday, Feb. 29, Rama also said if needed, he would personally bring up his decision to remove Imbong from his position to President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.Rama attributed the delays in the CBRT project to Imbong’s “mismanagement” and alleged lack of coordination with the City.Rama expressed displeasure when Imbong allowed the contractor to work without considering its impact on traffic.In a separate interview with radio dyHP on Thursday, Rama said he already told Cebu City Administrator Collin Rosell that he had enough of Imbong.“Taga-an lang ka’g smile-smile (He just keeps on smiling). I’m sorry, I want him out,”Rama said.Original routeRama was also displeased that the original route of the CBRT project was altered, particularly on the exclusion of Barangay Bulacao.“Tan-awa giunsa ninyo, dayon moingon mo nga wala mo’y kalibutan (Look at what you’ve done. And then you will say you know nothing about it),” Rama said.Last November, SunStar Cebu reported that the project’s completion date had been pushed to 2027 due to changes in the design, including the inclusion of Package 4, which is a dedicated lane from Barangay Bulacao to Mambaling; extension of the alignment from Ayala to Cebu IT Park; a rotunda underneath the Mambaling flyover; and the conversion of a mixed traffic lane along the South Road Properties (SRP) coastal road and along F. Vestil St.Rama said he will push for the CBRT’s original concept and sit down with concerned national officials to discuss the matter.Rama denied allegations he was responsible for the changes to the CBRT route, arguing that he fought for the original plan, but some officials dipped their hands into the project. Imbong’s sideSought for comment on Rama’s call for his ouster, Imbong said on Friday that it would be up to the discretion of the Department of Transportation (DOTr) Central Office whether or not to replace him.In a phone interview, Imbong told SunStar Cebu that he understands Rama’s perspective in asking for his removal due to project delays.However, he said the delays were inevitable as these were caused by setbacks such as processing permits, road conditions, underground waterpipes and telecommunication cables, the rainy season, the Sinulog festival, and others. Imbong explained that the CBRT project involves the DOTr as proponent, the China-based Hunan Road and Bridge Construction Group Ltd as the contractor, and the South Korea-based Kunhwa Engineering and Consulting Co. Ltd., as the construction supervision consultant. Approval from consultantImbong said every change in the implementation and planning of the CBRT project due to setbacks needs the approval of the construction supervision consultant. Imbong said Kunhwa Engineering and Consulting Co. Ltd. led the project’s technical working group. The firm also made the detailed engineering design of the CBRT. “Because this is foreign-funded, it’s not the same as us directly managing our contractor since we have a construction supervision consultant,” Imbong said in Cebuano.“Everything the contractor does has to abide by the specification of the consultant. Otherwise, work on the project will not proceed,” he added. Imbong said because of this setup, DOTr project engineers cannot supervise the contractor who will have to follow the consultant’s specifications in order to be billed for their civil works. He said the DOTr helps the contractor and consultant in the coordination with local government units (LGUs), including the filing and application of necessary permits and authorizations.Imbong also pointed to Cebu’s Fiesta Señor celebration and the Sinulog festival in Jan. 2024 as another cause of delay. Imbong said majority of the civil works months before the festival were rescheduled to give way to major events such as the solemn procession. The rainy season in the latter part of 2023 also delayed the project as the excavated portion was easily filled with rainwater that had to be pumped out, said Imbong.Heritage About the order to halt ongoing works along Osmeña Blvd., fronting the Cebu Capitol Building going to Fuente Osmeña Circle, Imbong said the DOTr is now coordinating with the Cultural and Historical Affairs Office (Chao) Cebu City for redesigning and approval. He said they were caught off-guard by Cebu Gov. Gwendolyn Garcia’s Memorandum 16-2024 ordering the contractor to immediately stop the construction of the bus station in front of the Capitol building. Back in 2020, Imbong said they collaborated with the Chao to determine if the CBRT project will affect buildings and sites with historical and cultural significance. He said CBRT proponents also presented project plans including the location of the bus station; however, they did not receive recommendations or corrections from the Chao at the time. Imbong clarified that he is not blaming the Chao. Rather, he is now focused on resolving concerns raised by the Cebu Provincial Government and will seek the approval of the Chao and the National Historical Commission of the Philippines (NHCP) as mandated under RA 10066. “I don’t like putting blame on anyone,” Imbong said. / AML, EHP

The study found the highest temperatures in the heat waves are warmer than 40 years ago and the area under a heat dome is larger.Studies have shown heat waves worsening before, but this one is more comprehensive and concentrates heavily on not just temperature and area, but how long the high heat lasts and how it travels across continents, said study co-authors and climate scientists Wei Zhang of Utah State University and Gabriel Lau of Princeton University.Global heat waves From 1979 to 1983, global heat waves would last eight days on average, but by 2016 to 2020 that was up to 12 days, the study said.Eurasia was especially hit harder with longer lasting heat waves, the study said. Heat waves slowed down most in Africa, while North America and Australia saw the biggest increases in overall magnitude, which measures temperature and area, according to the study.“This paper sends a clear warning that climate change makes heat waves yet more dangerous in more ways than one,” said Lawrence Berkeley National Lab climate scientist Michael Wehner, who wasn’t part of the research.Just like in an oven, the longer the heat lasts, the more something cooks. In this case it’s people, the co-authors said.“Those heat waves are traveling slower and so slower so that basically means that ... there’s a heat wave sitting there and those heat waves could stay longer in the region,” Zhang said. “And the adverse impacts on our human society would be huge and increasing over the years.”The team conducted computer simulations showing this change was due to heat-trapping emissions that come from the burning of coal, oil and natural gas. The study found climate change’s fingerprint by simulating a world without greenhouse gas emissions and concluding it could not produce the worsening heat waves observed in the last 45 years.The study also looks at the changes in weather patterns that propagate heat waves. Atmospheric waves that move weather systems along, such as the jet stream, are weakening, so they are not moving heat waves along as quickly — west to east in most but not all continents, Zhang said.Big pictureSeveral outside scientists praised the big picture way Zhang and colleagues examined heat waves, showing the interaction with weather patterns and their global movement and especially how they are slowing down.This shows “how heat waves evolve in three dimensions and move regionally and across continents rather than looking at temperatures at individual locations,” said Kathy Jacobs, a University of Arizona climate scientist who wasn’t part of the study.“One of the most direct consequences of global warming is increasing heat waves,” said Woodwell Climate Research Center scientist Jennifer Francis, who wasn’t part of the study. “These results put a large exclamation point on that fact.” / AP Gambling Licenses in the Philippines .

THE executive department of Cebu City Hall has denied allegations that it has not given the Metropolitan Cebu Water District (MCWD) excavation permits that could have addressed the lack of water in 10 of the city’s upland barangays. However, based on the records of MCWD through its contractors, three applications for excavation permits of pipeline expansion projects remain unapproved by the City since 2023. Based on MCWD records, the applications for excavation permits for the pipeline expansion projects in barangays Binaliw, Cambinocot and Guba are still pending in the City Hall. The application for an excavation permit in Binaliw was submitted on July 3, 2023. The one for Cambinocot was submitted on May 11, and the one for Guba on Nov. 11. The same projects were discussed during one of the executive sessions conducted by the Cebu City Council on April 2, 2024, wherein Cebu City Councilor Nestor Archival brought up the concern as the water district had given him a copy of a letter making a follow-up with the City about its applications for excavation permits. Cebu City Administrator Collin Rosell, in an interview on Friday, April 19, said he was present at the same session, wherein he asked the MCWD representative to give him a copy of the documents MCWD had submitted to the City so the City could approve them right then and there. However, he said upon checking the documents submitted, he noticed that the location indicated in the requirements did not correspond with the one indicated on the application. “For example, the submitted application indicated was in Guba. But upon checking the requirements, the one stated there was Apas. These are the things that we really look into. We really have to check the supporting documents... because we’re talking about excavation here. It’s dangerous. Magpataka ra unya na sila og bangag (They might excavate indiscriminately),” said Rosell. He even said that no excavation permit application and supporting documents reached his table that was up for approval. Rosell said they required the water district to submit their application on April 2, the same day the executive session was conducted; however, no documents were submitted on that day. “Wala man gihapoy naabot sukad niadtong adlawa nga ipasubmit man tanan aron tan-awon aron ipatagad diha-diha dayon,” Rosell said. (Nothing has arrived since that day since everything has to be submitted so that it can be attended to immediately.)“Wala gyud sila’y na submit laktod pagkasulti. Kun naa man silay na submit, asa mana nila gi-submit ug kompleto na ba na?” he added. (They really did not submit anything. If they submitted anything, where did they submit it and is this complete already?)Rosell said should MCWD submit the documents one of these days, he will mark the documents “late” as MCWD was required to submit the application on the same day of the session. Contractors’ wordMCWD information officer Minerva Gerodias on Friday said it’s their contractors that send an application to the City Hall for the excavation permit. Gerodias said they communicate with their contractors and based on their feedback, their applications remain unapproved. Gerodias, however, said the water district has no idea what supporting documents its contractors submitted to the City, explaining that it is the responsibility of the contractors to work on the permits based on their agreement. The pipeline expansion project could have helped provide water to the barangays in the upland areas of the city with water coming from the Lusaran bulk water project. According to a previous report of SunStar Cebu, the pipeline expansion projects could have benefitted 10 mountain barangays. With the absence of pipes that could have provided water to some upland barangays, the water from Lusaran is currently supplying water to Barangays Busay, Lahug, Pit-os and Kamputhaw. ConflictWith the ongoing conflict between MCWD and City Hall, SunStar Cebu asked Rosell whether the City will approve the applications if MCWD will submit the applications, Rosell answered, “The City approves applications as long as the supporting documents are complete.” He added that there is no ongoing conflict between the City and MCWD, only with some of the sitting directors who refused to follow orders from the Local Water Utilities Administration (LWUA). “There is no conflict between the City and MCWD. There are some people there, some directors, who were suspended by LWUA, but refused to step down. The point is I do not see any conflict,” said Rosell in Cebuano. Rosell said it’s the technical infrastructure committee that reviews applications for excavation permits. He said some of the requirements in applying for an excavation permit include location, duration of the excavation, safety measures to be implemented, and excavation plan.The LWUA suspended chairman Jose Daluz III, and directors Miguelito Pato and Jodelyn May Seno for six months last March 15, replacing them with an interim board as the LWUA sought to look into issues at the water district, including the alleged failure to comply with procurement laws. The trio has not recognized the authority of the LWUA to suspend them. licensed online casinos CEBU City Mayor Michael Rama has called for the ouster of Cebu Bus Rapid Transit (CBRT) project manager Norvim Imbong due to alleged mismanagement of the project.In an interview on Friday, March 1, 2024, Rama said he already communicated with Transportation Secretary Jaime Bautista regarding his “decision” to remove Imbong from the project. Over Cebu City Hall’s online program “Ingna’ng Mayor” on Thursday, Feb. 29, Rama also said if needed, he would personally bring up his decision to remove Imbong from his position to President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.Rama attributed the delays in the CBRT project to Imbong’s “mismanagement” and alleged lack of coordination with the City.Rama expressed displeasure when Imbong allowed the contractor to work without considering its impact on traffic.In a separate interview with radio dyHP on Thursday, Rama said he already told Cebu City Administrator Collin Rosell that he had enough of Imbong.“Taga-an lang ka’g smile-smile (He just keeps on smiling). I’m sorry, I want him out,”Rama said.Original routeRama was also displeased that the original route of the CBRT project was altered, particularly on the exclusion of Barangay Bulacao.“Tan-awa giunsa ninyo, dayon moingon mo nga wala mo’y kalibutan (Look at what you’ve done. And then you will say you know nothing about it),” Rama said.Last November, SunStar Cebu reported that the project’s completion date had been pushed to 2027 due to changes in the design, including the inclusion of Package 4, which is a dedicated lane from Barangay Bulacao to Mambaling; extension of the alignment from Ayala to Cebu IT Park; a rotunda underneath the Mambaling flyover; and the conversion of a mixed traffic lane along the South Road Properties (SRP) coastal road and along F. Vestil St.Rama said he will push for the CBRT’s original concept and sit down with concerned national officials to discuss the matter.Rama denied allegations he was responsible for the changes to the CBRT route, arguing that he fought for the original plan, but some officials dipped their hands into the project. Imbong’s sideSought for comment on Rama’s call for his ouster, Imbong said on Friday that it would be up to the discretion of the Department of Transportation (DOTr) Central Office whether or not to replace him.In a phone interview, Imbong told SunStar Cebu that he understands Rama’s perspective in asking for his removal due to project delays.However, he said the delays were inevitable as these were caused by setbacks such as processing permits, road conditions, underground waterpipes and telecommunication cables, the rainy season, the Sinulog festival, and others. Imbong explained that the CBRT project involves the DOTr as proponent, the China-based Hunan Road and Bridge Construction Group Ltd as the contractor, and the South Korea-based Kunhwa Engineering and Consulting Co. Ltd., as the construction supervision consultant. Approval from consultantImbong said every change in the implementation and planning of the CBRT project due to setbacks needs the approval of the construction supervision consultant. Imbong said Kunhwa Engineering and Consulting Co. Ltd. led the project’s technical working group. The firm also made the detailed engineering design of the CBRT. “Because this is foreign-funded, it’s not the same as us directly managing our contractor since we have a construction supervision consultant,” Imbong said in Cebuano.“Everything the contractor does has to abide by the specification of the consultant. Otherwise, work on the project will not proceed,” he added. Imbong said because of this setup, DOTr project engineers cannot supervise the contractor who will have to follow the consultant’s specifications in order to be billed for their civil works. He said the DOTr helps the contractor and consultant in the coordination with local government units (LGUs), including the filing and application of necessary permits and authorizations.Imbong also pointed to Cebu’s Fiesta Señor celebration and the Sinulog festival in Jan. 2024 as another cause of delay. Imbong said majority of the civil works months before the festival were rescheduled to give way to major events such as the solemn procession. The rainy season in the latter part of 2023 also delayed the project as the excavated portion was easily filled with rainwater that had to be pumped out, said Imbong.Heritage About the order to halt ongoing works along Osmeña Blvd., fronting the Cebu Capitol Building going to Fuente Osmeña Circle, Imbong said the DOTr is now coordinating with the Cultural and Historical Affairs Office (Chao) Cebu City for redesigning and approval. He said they were caught off-guard by Cebu Gov. Gwendolyn Garcia’s Memorandum 16-2024 ordering the contractor to immediately stop the construction of the bus station in front of the Capitol building. Back in 2020, Imbong said they collaborated with the Chao to determine if the CBRT project will affect buildings and sites with historical and cultural significance. He said CBRT proponents also presented project plans including the location of the bus station; however, they did not receive recommendations or corrections from the Chao at the time. Imbong clarified that he is not blaming the Chao. Rather, he is now focused on resolving concerns raised by the Cebu Provincial Government and will seek the approval of the Chao and the National Historical Commission of the Philippines (NHCP) as mandated under RA 10066. “I don’t like putting blame on anyone,” Imbong said. / AML, EHP
