GOVERNOR Gwendolyn Garcia has told the contractor of the Cebu Bus Rapid Transit (CBRT) to cease all civil works within Capitol-owned lots due to the alleged lack of a documentary permit.In a now-deleted post on the Provincial Government’s social media arm on Tuesday night, February 27, 2024, Garcia issued Memorandum 16-2024 ordering Hunan Road and Bridge Construction Group Ltd. to immediately stop the construction of the bus station in front of the Capitol building along Osmeña Blvd. in Cebu City. SunStar Cebu was able to get a screenshot of the memorandum from the now-deleted post.In the memorandum, Garcia said the Capitol discovered that the project’s proponents lacked the necessary authorization from the National Historical Commission of the Philippines (NHCP) for the construction of the bus stations along Osmeña Blvd.On Tuesday, Jose Eleazar Bersales of the National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA) Advisory Board informed the governor about the potential violation of the project against the Philippine Heritage Law.The project “appears to be located” within the buffer zones of the Capitol Building and the Fuente Osmeña Rotunda, both of which could easily qualify as heritage zones, according to the memorandum.Bersales is the Capitol consultant on museums and heritage.Garcia tasked the Philippine National Police to monitor the strict implementation of her memorandum. FindingsShe said the project violates the National Cultural Heritage Act of 2009, or Republic Act (RA) 10066, as the contractor has not secured the necessary authorization from the NHCP.RA 10066 mandates the protection of structures and edifices older than 50 years, and any construction within designated buffer zones requires the authorization of the NHCP, she said.The Capitol building was declared a National Historical Landmark and has a Grade 1 Level Heritage Structure Classification. Garcia said this entails a stricter implementation of RA 10066. Completed in 1938, the edifice features neoclassical and art deco style, with similarities to the US Capitol building.SunStar Cebu reached out to Norvin Imbong, the CBRT’s project manager, on Wednesday, February 28, for comment, but to no avail.In February 2023, Garcia told CBRT proponents that the project would traverse some lots owned by the Province and sought “just compensation” from the Department of Transportation (DOTr).Each bus station occupies an area of 160 square meters, with drainage systems on both sides of the sidewalk.The bus station along Osmeña Blvd. is part of Package 1 of the project, which stretches from the Cebu South Bus Terminal on N. Bacalso Ave. to the front of the Capitol building.The entire CBRT project will start in Barangay Bulacao and in the South Road Properties in the south and run through Barangay Talamban in the north. It has a total project cost of around P28.78 billion.In a privilege speech during the regular session of the Cebu City Council on Wednesday, Feb. 28, Vice Mayor Raymond Alvin Garcia requested the Office of the Building Official to issue a cease-and-desist order against the CBRT contractor.He said it should come up with a better design for the stations that can be submitted and proposed to the appropriate bodies, including but not limited to the NCCA, Cultural and Historical Affairs Commission (Chac) and the council.He also urged Chac to collaborate with counterparts in Cebu Province to explore alternative designs, ensuring that these are more complementary and in conformity with existing laws and policies.In his speech, the vice mayor said the infrastructure being introduced within the historical and cultural vista corridor is part of a project intended to benefit constituents in Cebu City.However, he argued that it poses a significant threat to the integrity of the city’s shared identity, heritage and culture as the people of Cebu.“One cannot be allowed to cancel the other, especially if the proposed design did not even pass through both the Cultural and Historical Affairs Commission and the Sangguniang Panlungsod,” he said.President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. led the groundbreaking of the CBRT at the Fuente Osmeña Circle on Feb. 27, 2023, where he announced that it was one of the National Government’s flagship infrastructure projects.The Department of Transportation is the lead implementing agency. Both the governor and the vice mayor did not provide an explanation on why they waited one year to voice their objection to the design and placement of the CBRT bus stations. (EHP/AML) How to bet on Champions League football predictions? Philippines THE Regional Development Council in Central Visayas (RDC 7) will endorse to President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. three priority projects in the region for funding allocation.National Economic and Development Authority (Neda) 7 Director Jennifer Bretaña, the RDC 7 chairman, and Bohol Gov. Erico Aris Aumentado will endorse to Marcos next month the following priority and high-impact projects: (a) the Feasibility Study (FS) for the Negros-Cebu-Bohol Friendship Bridge with Power/Water/ICT (information and communications technology) transmission lines, (b) Metro Cebu Integrated Flood Control and Water Supply Development Program, and (c) the Tamlang Valley Sustainable Agriculture for Growth and Resiliency Project.The RDC 7 will also endorse to the President two secondary regional priority projects, the FS and the Master Plan of the Siquijor Airport Development and Bohol’s 10 Big-ticket Projects including FS and Master Plan.“Their impact is region-wide, not only on physical connectivity but especially the awaited Cebu-Bohol as well as Cebu-Negros Oriental Bridges because they will not only increase physical connectivity but there is a design for a transmission line ready for power, water and ICT so that it will be easier for water supply, power supply for inter-province,” said Bretaña Thursday, March 14, 2024.With the improved physical connectivity between the three provinces, Bretaña said the friendship bridges will have a “tremendous” impact and increase economic opportunities and access to social services in these provinces.They will also contribute to meeting the power and water supply needs of the provinces and improve their digital connection. During the RDC meeting in Cebu City Thursday, Nonato Paylado of the Department of Public Works and Highway (DPWH) 7 said the initial alignment of the project would connect Cordova town in Cebu to the municipality of Getafe in Bohol. The proposed project will also support the development of Tamlang Valley in Negros Oriental into an Agri-Industrial Estate that will become the food basket of Central Visayas, Bretaña added.This will advance food security, one of the priority programs of the Marcos administration.Central Visayas currently groups the provinces of Cebu, Bohol, Siquijor and Negros Oriental. But the Senate and House of Representatives have passed bills to form the Negros Island Region that would comprise Negros Occidental, Negros Oriental and Siquijor, leaving just Cebu and Bohol in Central Visayas.FloodingAddressing the flooding in Metro Cebu also has to be prioritized, Bretaña said.This involves the conduct of an FS for the Mananga Dam as an additional source of water and retention pond for upstream waters of the cities of Cebu and Talisay, and the construction of the Bridges and Flood Control Structures to reduce flooding. “These are big-ticket projects. Their costs are also big, but we hope that the President would support them in terms of ensuring and endorsing those three projects for funding in the central offices of the implementing agencies so these can be funded maybe if not for 2025, maybe for 2026,” Bretaña said.With President Marcos’s support, Bretaña said they will include in the fiscal year 2025 or 2026 the funding allocation for the FS of the Friendship Bridge and the Metro Cebu Flood Mitigation Projects.Funding for the FS of the Friendship Bridge will ensure that the project is technically, economically and environmentally feasible.She added that the FS will also identify if the proposed project will not affect the declaration of the Danajon Bank Double Barrier Reef (DBDBR) as a Protected Landscape and Seascape. The DBDBR is situated in the waters between Cebu and Bohol. The same will also be studied for the Tañon Strait between Cebu and Negros Oriental. The projects may also be funded through other financial agencies including through Official Development Assistance, grants, and loans.As for the Tamlang Valley project, Bretaña said it can be funded by multiple agencies including the Department of Agriculture and the National Irrigation Administration (NIA).Secondary priority Under the Secondary Regional Priority Programs and Projects (PAPs) endorsement, RDC 7 seeks funding for Bohol’s Wastewater Treatment Project, Integrated Highway Development, Light Rail Transit, Sabo Dam Flood Control Project, Bohol Business Park, Ubay Airport Development Project, Light Industry Economic Zone Development, Bohol-Cebu Friendship Bridge, Bulk Water Supply, and Talibon Cluster Sanitary Landfill. Bohol’s 10 Big Ticket FS and Master Plan will require P200 million, which was proposed to be funded by the Japan International Cooperation Agency.Also endorsed by the RDC 7 Full Council was a request to the DPWH to include in its 2025 budget proposal additional funding of P148.50 million for the preparation of the Central Visayas Road Network Master Plan. The RDC 7 Full Council also endorsed the inclusion of the 2025 budget proposal of the proposed PAPs of the DPWH 7 and NIA 7 in the Central Visayas Regional Development Investment Program in the budgets of their respective central offices.

Send money to Gcash Wallet in Philippines TO REALIZE the extension of the Bantayan Island Airport’s runway, the Cebu Provincial Government has formally asked owners of lots near the airport in Barangay Okoy, Santa Fe town to sell their properties to give way to the project. Cebu Gov. Gwendolyn Garcia met the 63 lot owners involved on Wednesday, Feb. 14, 2024, and offered to have the Provincial Government buy their properties, which cover a combined 22.5 hectares of land in Barangays Balidbid and Okoy situated north of the airport. The airport, operated by the Mactan-Cebu International Airport Authority (MCIAA), is located on a lot owned by the Cebu Provincial Government. During the Wednesday meeting streamed live on the Cebu Provincial Government’s Public Information Office (PIO) Facebook page, Garcia said she had met with representatives of Cebu Pacific and Philippine Airlines, who told the governor that their air assets can land on runways that are at least 1.5 kilometers long. The current length of the runway is 1.2 kilometers. For now, the Bantayan airport caters only to chartered flights.The Provincial Government plans to extend the runway by purchasing the identified lots to increase its length to three kilometers and width to 150 meters.It will be the Provincial Government that will fund the construction of the runway extension, Garcia said. Garcia emphasized the importance of accessible tourism, including the need for a larger airport to accommodate bigger planes on the island.Other future developments on the local airport are the construction of a fire truck terminal inside the facility, the expansion of terminal capacity from about 40 to 100 passengers, and the construction and installation of a fuel depot, among others.Traveling via air to the island is better than traveling by land as it cuts down to about half an hour the usual trip that involves a four- to five-hour drive from Cebu City to Hagnaya Port in San Remigio town on the Cebu mainland and then the one-hour ferry ride to the Santa Fe Port on Bantayan Island, Garcia said. She added that she envisioned transforming the island into a premier tourist destination featuring the beautiful white sand beaches that would attract tourists and bring economic development to the island.Garcia said if completed the Bantayan airport could accommodate bigger planes that would entice the prominent airlines to offer regular flights to the island from Manila and the Mactan-Cebu International Airport (MCIA). The governor added that the easier it is for tourists to access the island, the more they will visit. According to the Capitol, the island attracts 6,000 tourists on weekends and over 3,000 tourists on weekdays.Present during the consultative meeting were Provincial Board Member Minuel Carmela Franco (4th district), Santa Fe Mayor Ithamar Espinosa, Madridejos Mayor Romeo Villaceran and Santa Fe Municipal Assessor Rolando Fariolen.Selling priceWhen one of the lot owners asked about the appraisal and selling price, Garcia said it would be the Cebu Provincial Appraisal Committee (CPAC) that would determine the lot price per square meter (sqm). According to CPAC chairperson and Provincial Board Member Franco, the lot appraisal would be based on the comparable prices and opinions from the appraisal team from banks, real estate brokers, and zonal values from the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) to determine the selling price of the lots. The selling price of the identified lot will also be contingent upon the land classification based on tax declaration whether it falls under residential or agricultural lot, among others. “Wala pa mi presyo karon kay first step pa ni. Pagpasabot lang ninyo nga paliton sa gobyerno ang inyong yuta,” Garcia said. (We don’t have a price now because this is just the first step. This is just to let you understand that the government will buy your land.)She also stressed that the selling price will be based on the zonal valuation of the BIR, to avoid any discrepancies once the transaction is audited by the Commission on Audit (COA). Once the selling price is determined, however, if the Provincial Government and the lot owner do not agree on it, then the expropriation process will be used. Garcia said she does not want to proceed with the expropriation process, in which the Provincial Government will file a case of expropriation under the principle that the project is for public purposes and make a deposit of 15 percent of the determined selling price to the court to take immediate possession of the property.It will be up to the court to determine whether the expropriation case is for public purposes. Upon preliminary survey, the majority of the lots that were identified were considered “idle” lots in which there was no existing development, Garcia said.She reminded owners of “idle” lots to embark on developments on their properties as there is a proposed ordinance from the Provincial Board that undeveloped or unimproved lots will be subject to an additional “ad valorem” tax of five percent. “Nanghinaot ko nga dili ta magka-away-away ani. Magsinabtanay ta aron dili na ta mag-abot og korte,” Garcia said. (I hope we do not fight over this. Let us come to an agreement so that we do not have to go to court.)

Erico Aris Aumentado will endorse to Marcos next month the following priority and high-impact projects: (a) the Feasibility Study (FS) for the Negros-Cebu-Bohol Friendship Bridge with Power/Water/ICT (information and communications technology) transmission lines, (b) Metro Cebu Integrated Flood Control and Water Supply Development Program, and (c) the Tamlang Valley Sustainable Agriculture for Growth and Resiliency Project.The RDC 7 will also endorse to the President two secondary regional priority projects, the FS and the Master Plan of the Siquijor Airport Development and Bohol’s 10 Big-ticket Projects including FS and Master Plan.“Their impact is region-wide, not only on physical connectivity but especially the awaited Cebu-Bohol as well as Cebu-Negros Oriental Bridges because they will not only increase physical connectivity but there is a design for a transmission line ready for power, water and ICT so that it will be easier for water supply, power supply for inter-province,” said Bretaña Thursday, March 14, 2024.With the improved physical connectivity between the three provinces, Bretaña said the friendship bridges will have a “tremendous” impact and increase economic opportunities and access to social services in these provinces.They will also contribute to meeting the power and water supply needs of the provinces and improve their digital connection.

Their costs are also big, but we hope that the President would support them in terms of ensuring and endorsing those three projects for funding in the central offices of the implementing agencies so these can be funded maybe if not for 2025, maybe for 2026,” Bretaña said.With President Marcos’s support, Bretaña said they will include in the fiscal year 2025 or 2026 the funding allocation for the FS of the Friendship Bridge and the Metro Cebu Flood Mitigation Projects.Funding for the FS of the Friendship Bridge will ensure that the project is technically, economically and environmentally feasible.She added that the FS will also identify if the proposed project will not affect the declaration of the Danajon Bank Double Barrier Reef (DBDBR) as a Protected Landscape and Seascape. The DBDBR is situated in the waters between Cebu and Bohol. The same will also be studied for the Tañon Strait between Cebu and Negros Oriental.

GOVERNOR Gwendolyn Garcia has told the contractor of the Cebu Bus Rapid Transit (CBRT) to cease all civil works within Capitol-owned lots due to the alleged lack of a documentary permit.In a now-deleted post on the Provincial Government’s social media arm on Tuesday night, February 27, 2024, Garcia issued Memorandum 16-2024 ordering Hunan Road and Bridge Construction Group Ltd. to immediately stop the construction of the bus station in front of the Capitol building along Osmeña Blvd. in Cebu City. SunStar Cebu was able to get a screenshot of the memorandum from the now-deleted post.In the memorandum, Garcia said the Capitol discovered that the project’s proponents lacked the necessary authorization from the National Historical Commission of the Philippines (NHCP) for the construction of the bus stations along Osmeña Blvd.On Tuesday, Jose Eleazar Bersales of the National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA) Advisory Board informed the governor about the potential violation of the project against the Philippine Heritage Law.The project “appears to be located” within the buffer zones of the Capitol Building and the Fuente Osmeña Rotunda, both of which could easily qualify as heritage zones, according to the memorandum.Bersales is the Capitol consultant on museums and heritage.Garcia tasked the Philippine National Police to monitor the strict implementation of her memorandum. FindingsShe said the project violates the National Cultural Heritage Act of 2009, or Republic Act (RA) 10066, as the contractor has not secured the necessary authorization from the NHCP.RA 10066 mandates the protection of structures and edifices older than 50 years, and any construction within designated buffer zones requires the authorization of the NHCP, she said.The Capitol building was declared a National Historical Landmark and has a Grade 1 Level Heritage Structure Classification. Garcia said this entails a stricter implementation of RA 10066. Completed in 1938, the edifice features neoclassical and art deco style, with similarities to the US Capitol building.SunStar Cebu reached out to Norvin Imbong, the CBRT’s project manager, on Wednesday, February 28, for comment, but to no avail.In February 2023, Garcia told CBRT proponents that the project would traverse some lots owned by the Province and sought “just compensation” from the Department of Transportation (DOTr).Each bus station occupies an area of 160 square meters, with drainage systems on both sides of the sidewalk.The bus station along Osmeña Blvd. is part of Package 1 of the project, which stretches from the Cebu South Bus Terminal on N. Bacalso Ave. to the front of the Capitol building.The entire CBRT project will start in Barangay Bulacao and in the South Road Properties in the south and run through Barangay Talamban in the north. It has a total project cost of around P28.78 billion.In a privilege speech during the regular session of the Cebu City Council on Wednesday, Feb. 28, Vice Mayor Raymond Alvin Garcia requested the Office of the Building Official to issue a cease-and-desist order against the CBRT contractor.He said it should come up with a better design for the stations that can be submitted and proposed to the appropriate bodies, including but not limited to the NCCA, Cultural and Historical Affairs Commission (Chac) and the council.He also urged Chac to collaborate with counterparts in Cebu Province to explore alternative designs, ensuring that these are more complementary and in conformity with existing laws and policies.In his speech, the vice mayor said the infrastructure being introduced within the historical and cultural vista corridor is part of a project intended to benefit constituents in Cebu City.However, he argued that it poses a significant threat to the integrity of the city’s shared identity, heritage and culture as the people of Cebu.“One cannot be allowed to cancel the other, especially if the proposed design did not even pass through both the Cultural and Historical Affairs Commission and the Sangguniang Panlungsod,” he said.President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. led the groundbreaking of the CBRT at the Fuente Osmeña Circle on Feb. 27, 2023, where he announced that it was one of the National Government’s flagship infrastructure projects.The Department of Transportation is the lead implementing agency. Both the governor and the vice mayor did not provide an explanation on why they waited one year to voice their objection to the design and placement of the CBRT bus stations.

Cebu Gov. Gwendolyn Garcia met the 63 lot owners involved on Wednesday, Feb. 14, 2024, and offered to have the Provincial Government buy their properties, which cover a combined 22.5 hectares of land in Barangays Balidbid and Okoy situated north of the airport. The airport, operated by the Mactan-Cebu International Airport Authority (MCIAA), is located on a lot owned by the Cebu Provincial Government. During the Wednesday meeting streamed live on the Cebu Provincial Government’s Public Information Office (PIO) Facebook page, Garcia said she had met with representatives of Cebu Pacific and Philippine Airlines, who told the governor that their air assets can land on runways that are at least 1.5 kilometers long. The current length of the runway is 1.2 kilometers. For now, the Bantayan airport caters only to chartered flights.The Provincial Government plans to extend the runway by purchasing the identified lots to increase its length to three kilometers and width to 150 meters.It will be the Provincial Government that will fund the construction of the runway extension, Garcia said. Garcia emphasized the importance of accessible tourism, including the need for a larger airport to accommodate bigger planes on the island.Other future developments on the local airport are the construction of a fire truck terminal inside the facility, the expansion of terminal capacity from about 40 to 100 passengers, and the construction and installation of a fuel depot, among others.Traveling via air to the island is better than traveling by land as it cuts down to about half an hour the usual trip that involves a four- to five-hour drive from Cebu City to Hagnaya Port in San Remigio town on the Cebu mainland and then the one-hour ferry ride to the Santa Fe Port on Bantayan Island, Garcia said. She added that she envisioned transforming the island into a premier tourist destination featuring the beautiful white sand beaches that would attract tourists and bring economic development to the island.Garcia said if completed the Bantayan airport could accommodate bigger planes that would entice the prominent airlines to offer regular flights to the island from Manila and the Mactan-Cebu International Airport (MCIA). The governor added that the easier it is for tourists to access the island, the more they will visit. According to the Capitol, the island attracts 6,000 tourists on weekends and over 3,000 tourists on weekdays.Present during the consultative meeting were Provincial Board Member Minuel Carmela Franco (4th district), Santa Fe Mayor Ithamar Espinosa, Madridejos Mayor Romeo Villaceran and Santa Fe Municipal Assessor Rolando Fariolen.Selling priceWhen one of the lot owners asked about the appraisal and selling price, Garcia said it would be the Cebu Provincial Appraisal Committee (CPAC) that would determine the lot price per square meter (sqm). According to CPAC chairperson and Provincial Board Member Franco, the lot appraisal would be based on the comparable prices and opinions from the appraisal team from banks, real estate brokers, and zonal values from the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) to determine the selling price of the lots. The selling price of the identified lot will also be contingent upon the land classification based on tax declaration whether it falls under residential or agricultural lot, among others. “Wala pa mi presyo karon kay first step pa ni. Pagpasabot lang ninyo nga paliton sa gobyerno ang inyong yuta,” Garcia said. (We don’t have a price now because this is just the first step. This is just to let you understand that the government will buy your land.)She also stressed that the selling price will be based on the zonal valuation of the BIR, to avoid any discrepancies once the transaction is audited by the Commission on Audit (COA). Once the selling price is determined, however, if the Provincial Government and the lot owner do not agree on it, then the expropriation process will be used. Garcia said she does not want to proceed with the expropriation process, in which the Provincial Government will file a case of expropriation under the principle that the project is for public purposes and make a deposit of 15 percent of the determined selling price to the court to take immediate possession of the property.It will be up to the court to determine whether the expropriation case is for public purposes. Upon preliminary survey, the majority of the lots that were identified were considered “idle” lots in which there was no existing development, Garcia said.She reminded owners of “idle” lots to embark on developments on their properties as there is a proposed ordinance from the Provincial Board that undeveloped or unimproved lots will be subject to an additional “ad valorem” tax of five percent. “Nanghinaot ko nga dili ta magka-away-away ani. Magsinabtanay ta aron dili na ta mag-abot og korte,” Garcia said. (I hope we do not fight over this. Let us come to an agreement so that we do not have to go to court.)
