VICE President and Education Secretary Sara Duterte-Carpio and Cebu City Mayor Michael Rama signed on Friday, February 2, 2024, a memorandum of agreement (MOA) for the Palarong Pambansa 2024.The MOA signing was held at the Community Hall on the 9th floor of Cebu City Hall Executive Building.In his welcome remarks, Rama said the island of Cebu is thankful to the National Government for giving once again the opportunity to be the host of the Palarong Pambansa, which it also hosted in 1994.Rama said there is nothing to promise, but work must be done for the success of the event.“Let’s just do it in the name of Senior Santo Niño, we have to be one and make it happen,” Rama said.The Palarong Pambansa was last hosted by Marikina City in 2023, after four years of hiatus due to the Covid-19 pandemic. In 2019, elementary and high school student athletes competed in Davao City.Duterte said Friday that the MOA signing has paved the way for the holding of the 64th edition of the Palarong Pambansa 2024, which will be held at the Queen City of South.She said as secretary of education, she always gave her fairness, assuring the guests that she has not influenced the Palarong Pambansa Board in choosing Cebu to host the event.She said that even before the start of the bidding process, Rama made a phone call to her to express Cebu City's willingness to host, as well as Cebu Governor Gwendolyn Garcia, who expressed her support for the success of the event.“Nitawag na si Mayor Rama. Nitawag na pud si Governor Garcia apan wala jud ko mobalibad pud sa ilaha. Nagsige ra jud ko’g ampo ni Señor Santo Niño nga padaugon ni sila (sa bidding),” Duterte said.(Mayor Rama and Governor Garcia called me up to ask for Cebu’s hosting, and I did not turn them down. I prayed to Señor Santo Niño to let them win in the bidding.)She said the result of the bidding was beyond her power, saying she did not take part in any of the preparations.“You did it on your own, and congratulations,” she said.She said the vote for Cebu City to host the Palarong Pambansa was unanimous.Cebu City first hosted the Palarong Pambansa in 1954, and then in 1994. This year’s hosting, 2024, for the 64th edition, will be the third time for Cebu.“It seems that four is the lucky number for the Palarong Pambansa in Cebu City kay 2024 inyoha na pud,” Duterte said.Duterte thanked the Cebu City Government under the leadership of Rama, together with Vice Mayor Raymond Garcia and other City officials for accepting the responsibility for hosting the event.Department of Education (DepEd) Assistant Secretary and Secretary General for the Palarong Pambansa Francis Cesar Bringas, DepEd Assistant Secretary Dexter Galvan, DepEd-Central Visayas Director Salustiano Jimenez, Philippines Sports Commissioner Edward Hayco, and Cebu City Sports Commission Chairman John Pages were present during the ceremony.Vice Mayor Raymond Alvin Garcia, together with the members of the Cebu City Council, and Department heads led by Cebu City Administrator Collin Rosell also attended the event.

The complaint was filed against Glenn Castillo, the former general manager of the CPA, and Francisco Comendador III, the current general manager.Filed were criminal cases for 18 counts of violation of Section 3(e) of Republic Act (RA) 3019, Usurpation of Authority under Article 177 of the Revised Penal Code, and violation of Section 301 in relation to Section 213 of Presidential Decree (PD) 1096 or the National Building Code of the Philippines, as well as administrative cases for grave misconduct, gross neglect of duty, and conduct prejudicial to the best interest of the service.“As of the present time, the Cebu Port Authority still fails to comply with the legal directives of our office. In fact, there is no indication on their part to abide with several Notices of Violation issued against Cebu Port Authority,” the complaint-affidavit by Catalan read.The OBO had issued 15 notices of violation to the CPA dated Feb. 2, 2023 for buildings and structures, 10 of which were in the Cebu International Port (CIP) Complex. The notices were issued for the CPA Main Administration Building, CPA Social Hall and Canteen, CPA Sports Facility, CPA PSSEMD Office Building, CPA Records Building and Fabrication Area, CPA Powerhouse and Water Pumphouse, CPA GAD Center, CIP Bin Silo Facility and Opascor Office Building, CIP One Stop Shop Facility and Landbank Building, and Bureau of Customs Office Building, all in the CIP Complex.Notices were also issued for the PMO - Pier 4 Office Building in Berth 13, Pier 1 Ticket Booths at the Pier 1 Entrance Gate, Pier 1 Passenger Terminal Building and Pier 3 Passenger Terminal Building, all in the Cebu Baseport; as well as for the fence, guardhouse and covered walk, whose location was not specified.On the same day, the OBO notified the CPA through then-general manager Glenn Castillo to provide a copy of the approved building or occupancy permits for all the buildings and structures listed “or submit their application for building/occupancy permits in order to legalize the structures.”On Feb. 17, 2023, however, City Hall received a letter-reply from Castillo, dated Feb. 9, 2023, calling the routine inspections and “alleged random incursions” of OBO personnel violations of the Writ of Preliminary Injunction issued by Regional Trial Court (RTC) Branch 10 of Cebu City, the complaint read.“Respondent Glenn B. Castillo even told us that the several Notices of Violations issued against the CPA are baseless,” the complaint-affidavit added.In December 2022, the RTC granted the CPA’s application for a writ of preliminary injunction to prohibit the City Government from occupying any portion of the Compania Maritima premises.In August 2023, the RTC denied the City’s motion for reconsideration, and affirmed the CPA’s ownership of the Compania Maritima and its premises. More violationsAfter the 15 notices of violation were sent, the OBO found violations in the case of three more structures.The CPA installed a fence on Quezon Blvd. in Barangay Sto. Nino, which the OBO claims was done without any permit from its office. The OBO issued a notice of illegal construction and work stoppage order on May 31, 2023, but the CPA did not comply.According to the complaint, Comendador, the new CPA general manager, responded to the OBO’s Sept. 20, 2023 letter advising the CPA to secure a building and fencing permit before building a new interlink fence, gates and police outpost, by “claiming that the powers of the City of Cebu as a local government unit cannot extend and apply to the CPA and that there is no basis for our actions.”On Sept. 28, 2023, the City Government had another run-in with the CPA after the CPA installed a steel fence along the seaside near the Compania Maritima without securing a fencing permit.In February 2024, the OBO discovered through ocular inspections that the CPA had constructed a perimeter fence, as well as begun work on a wharf, along the Cebu Coastal Road near the Malacañang sa Sugbo (now National Museum of the Philippines-Cebu) without securing permits.“Their refusal to secure permits with our Office and refusal to comply with our lawful orders, connected with the performance of the official functions and duties of a public officer, are clearly deliberate violations of the rule of law. Their intention to violate the law is unmistakable,” Catalan’s complaint-affidavit read.Statement from the CityCity Legal Officer Carlo Vincent Gimena, in an interview with SunStar Cebu on Friday, said all private or government entities should secure building permits prior to construction.“Those need permits from the OBO of Cebu City without which they will be considered illegal construction,” said Gimena. Gimena argued that the CPA has no authority to construct without permits despite the CPA’s claims that under its charter it is able to license, control, regulate and supervise any construction within its port district. Gimena said the Philippine Ports Authority did not grant the CPA that authority.“According to them, under their charter, they have the power to regulate, to license, to supervise structures or construction within their compound; however, a careful reading of their charter will show that there is no such power,” said Gimena.One of the constructions that is claimed by the OBO to have a violation is near the disputed Compania Maritima. The City Government has an ongoing dispute with the CPA.SunStar Cebu contacted the CPA for comment, but the CPA said it would issue an official statement only if needed. The City Government has an ongoing ownership dispute with the CPA over the Compania Maritima premises, which is part of the area to be redeveloped under the City’s P8 billion joint venture agreement with Megawide Construction Corp. to modernize the century-old Carbon Public Market.

The Best Online Sports Games LOCAL transport group Pagkakaisa ng mga Samahan ng Tsuper at Opereytor Nationwide (Piston) Cebu is standing firm in its decision not to seek a fare increase.Gregory Perez, chairperson of the 500-member group, said that burdening consumers with higher fares is not the solution to the current challenges, particularly high fuel prices.In an interview on Tuesday, April 16, 2024, Perez reiterated the need for a more comprehensive approach that does not adversely affect commuters.Perez emphasized that implementing a minimum fare increase in public transportation amid the prevailing economic situation would only inflate prices of prime commodities and goods.“We are not keen on pushing for a fare increase because we know it will affect our passengers and, of course, the prices of prime commodities,” he said in Cebuano, adding that students would be directly hurt if a hike was implemented.Push for P2 hikeLast week, the Alliance of Transport Operators and Drivers Association of the Philippines (Altodap), a group of traditional jeepney drivers, sought answers regarding the fare increase petition it had submitted. The group urged the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) to promptly address its petition due to increasing pump prices. The group advocated for a P2 increase in the minimum fare of traditional jeepneys, proposing to raise it from P13 to P15.Boy Vargas, Altodap president, said the LTFRB had informed them that their petition is under consideration. However, the franchising agency has yet to issue a decision on the matter.LTFRB spokesperson Celine Pialago, in a media interview, confirmed that the agency is currently conducting a thorough study of the petition to evaluate the proposed fare increase.Oil price hikeOil firms announced last Monday, April 15, a price hike that took effect on Tuesday, April 16. Pilipinas Shell, Cleanfuel, and Seaoil revealed increases of P0.95 per liter for diesel, P0.40 per liter for gasoline, and P0.85 per liter for kerosene. Unsuitable Perez cautioned against the proposed fare hike, deeming it unsuitable and warning that it might initiate a “domino effect,” leading to price increases in various sectors of the local economy. He said that when public utility vehicle drivers raise their minimum fare to offset rising fuel costs, these additional expenses are indirectly passed on to consumers.“Yes, if we talk about fare increases, there is a domino effect. It will bring higher prices for goods, like our basic goods,” he said.Perez said scrapping the Oil Deregulation Law and suspending both value-added and excise taxes on oil remain the most effective ways to halt fuel price hikes. He argued that government inaction and deregulation policies, particularly the law, are the main causes of the surging prices.Downstream Oil Industry Deregulation ActDuring President Fidel Ramos’s administration, Republic Act 8479, or the Downstream Oil Industry Deregulation Act of 1998, empowered market forces to set the prices of gasoline and other petroleum-based products for consumers. This law also deprived the Department of Energy of its authority to intervene in the domestic oil market. / KJF

Castillo even told us that the several Notices of Violations issued against the CPA are baseless,” the complaint-affidavit added.In December 2022, the RTC granted the CPA’s application for a writ of preliminary injunction to prohibit the City Government from occupying any portion of the Compania Maritima premises.In August 2023, the RTC denied the City’s motion for reconsideration, and affirmed the CPA’s ownership of the Compania Maritima and its premises. More violationsAfter the 15 notices of violation were sent, the OBO found violations in the case of three more structures.The CPA installed a fence on Quezon Blvd. in Barangay Sto. Nino, which the OBO claims was done without any permit from its office. The OBO issued a notice of illegal construction and work stoppage order on May 31, 2023, but the CPA did not comply.According to the complaint, Comendador, the new CPA general manager, responded to the OBO’s Sept. 20, 2023 letter advising the CPA to secure a building and fencing permit before building a new interlink fence, gates and police outpost, by “claiming that the powers of the City of Cebu as a local government unit cannot extend and apply to the CPA and that there is no basis for our actions.”On Sept. 28, 2023, the City Government had another run-in with the CPA after the CPA installed a steel fence along the seaside near the Compania Maritima without securing a fencing permit.In February 2024, the OBO discovered through ocular inspections that the CPA had constructed a perimeter fence, as well as begun work on a wharf, along the Cebu Coastal Road near the Malacañang sa Sugbo (now National Museum of the Philippines-Cebu) without securing permits.“Their refusal to secure permits with our Office and refusal to comply with our lawful orders, connected with the performance of the official functions and duties of a public officer, are clearly deliberate violations of the rule of law. Their intention to violate the law is unmistakable,” Catalan’s complaint-affidavit read.Statement from the CityCity Legal Officer Carlo Vincent Gimena, in an interview with SunStar Cebu on Friday, said all private or government entities should secure building permits prior to construction.“Those need permits from the OBO of Cebu City without which they will be considered illegal construction,” said Gimena. Gimena argued that the CPA has no authority to construct without permits despite the CPA’s claims that under its charter it is able to license, control, regulate and supervise any construction within its port district. Gimena said the Philippine Ports Authority did not grant the CPA that authority.“According to them, under their charter, they have the power to regulate, to license, to supervise structures or construction within their compound; however, a careful reading of their charter will show that there is no such power,” said Gimena.One of the constructions that is claimed by the OBO to have a violation is near the disputed Compania Maritima. The City Government has an ongoing dispute with the CPA.SunStar Cebu contacted the CPA for comment, but the CPA said it would issue an official statement only if needed. The City Government has an ongoing ownership dispute with the CPA over the Compania Maritima premises, which is part of the area to be redeveloped under the City’s P8 billion joint venture agreement with Megawide Construction Corp. to modernize the century-old Carbon Public Market.

VICE President and Education Secretary Sara Duterte-Carpio and Cebu City Mayor Michael Rama signed on Friday, February 2, 2024, a memorandum of agreement (MOA) for the Palarong Pambansa 2024.The MOA signing was held at the Community Hall on the 9th floor of Cebu City Hall Executive Building.In his welcome remarks, Rama said the island of Cebu is thankful to the National Government for giving once again the opportunity to be the host of the Palarong Pambansa, which it also hosted in 1994.Rama said there is nothing to promise, but work must be done for the success of the event.“Let’s just do it in the name of Senior Santo Niño, we have to be one and make it happen,” Rama said.The Palarong Pambansa was last hosted by Marikina City in 2023, after four years of hiatus due to the Covid-19 pandemic. In 2019, elementary and high school student athletes competed in Davao City.Duterte said Friday that the MOA signing has paved the way for the holding of the 64th edition of the Palarong Pambansa 2024, which will be held at the Queen City of South.She said as secretary of education, she always gave her fairness, assuring the guests that she has not influenced the Palarong Pambansa Board in choosing Cebu to host the event.She said that even before the start of the bidding process, Rama made a phone call to her to express Cebu City's willingness to host, as well as Cebu Governor Gwendolyn Garcia, who expressed her support for the success of the event.“Nitawag na si Mayor Rama. Nitawag na pud si Governor Garcia apan wala jud ko mobalibad pud sa ilaha. Nagsige ra jud ko’g ampo ni Señor Santo Niño nga padaugon ni sila (sa bidding),” Duterte said.(Mayor Rama and Governor Garcia called me up to ask for Cebu’s hosting, and I did not turn them down. I prayed to Señor Santo Niño to let them win in the bidding.)She said the result of the bidding was beyond her power, saying she did not take part in any of the preparations.“You did it on your own, and congratulations,” she said.She said the vote for Cebu City to host the Palarong Pambansa was unanimous.Cebu City first hosted the Palarong Pambansa in 1954, and then in 1994. This year’s hosting, 2024, for the 64th edition, will be the third time for Cebu.“It seems that four is the lucky number for the Palarong Pambansa in Cebu City kay 2024 inyoha na pud,” Duterte said.Duterte thanked the Cebu City Government under the leadership of Rama, together with Vice Mayor Raymond Garcia and other City officials for accepting the responsibility for hosting the event.Department of Education (DepEd) Assistant Secretary and Secretary General for the Palarong Pambansa Francis Cesar Bringas, DepEd Assistant Secretary Dexter Galvan, DepEd-Central Visayas Director Salustiano Jimenez, Philippines Sports Commissioner Edward Hayco, and Cebu City Sports Commission Chairman John Pages were present during the ceremony.Vice Mayor Raymond Alvin Garcia, together with the members of the Cebu City Council, and Department heads led by Cebu City Administrator Collin Rosell also attended the event.

The group urged the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) to promptly address its petition due to increasing pump prices. The group advocated for a P2 increase in the minimum fare of traditional jeepneys, proposing to raise it from P13 to P15.Boy Vargas, Altodap president, said the LTFRB had informed them that their petition is under consideration. However, the franchising agency has yet to issue a decision on the matter.LTFRB spokesperson Celine Pialago, in a media interview, confirmed that the agency is currently conducting a thorough study of the petition to evaluate the proposed fare increase.Oil price hikeOil firms announced last Monday, April 15, a price hike that took effect on Tuesday, April 16. Pilipinas Shell, Cleanfuel, and Seaoil revealed increases of P0.95 per liter for diesel, P0.40 per liter for gasoline, and P0.85 per liter for kerosene. Unsuitable Perez cautioned against the proposed fare hike, deeming it unsuitable and warning that it might initiate a “domino effect,” leading to price increases in various sectors of the local economy. He said that when public utility vehicle drivers raise their minimum fare to offset rising fuel costs, these additional expenses are indirectly passed on to consumers.“Yes, if we talk about fare increases, there is a domino effect. It will bring higher prices for goods, like our basic goods,” he said.Perez said scrapping the Oil Deregulation Law and suspending both value-added and excise taxes on oil remain the most effective ways to halt fuel price hikes. He argued that government inaction and deregulation policies, particularly the law, are the main causes of the surging prices.Downstream Oil Industry Deregulation ActDuring President Fidel Ramos’s administration, Republic Act 8479, or the Downstream Oil Industry Deregulation Act of 1998, empowered market forces to set the prices of gasoline and other petroleum-based products for consumers. This law also deprived the Department of Energy of its authority to intervene in the domestic oil market. / KJF
