RASH. Residents of Barangay Punta Engaño, Lapu-Lapu City reported getting skin rashes in late January 2024, which they attribute to the ship-breaking operations of mv Diamond Highway in the area. / LAPU-LAPU CITY PUBLIC inFORMATION OFFICEPITY THE CHILDREN. Children in Punta Engaño are among those who got skin rashes amid the ship-breaking operations of mv Diamond Highway in the area in January 2024. Complaints of skin rashes, throat irritation and cough came from four sitios. / LAPU-LAPU CITY PIOAROUND 200 residents from four sitios in Barangay Punta Engaño, Lapu-Lapu City have reported having skin rashes, throat irritation and cough, which they attribute to dust emissions from a ship-breaking operation in the area. Sitios Tulo, Lupa and Malingin, including a nearby compound, are the areas closest to the ship-breaking operation and are most affected by it.Mayor Junard Chan took to Facebook to announce he had ordered the temporary halt of the ship-breaking operations of mv Diamond Highway on Jan. 31, 2024. The ship ran aground during the onslaught of Typhoon Odette (Rai) in December 2021, and then it caught fire in April 2023 as it was being broken apart amid a salvage operation.Chan said the process of breaking and demolishing the ship could have caused a significant emission of dust, and burnt materials of the ship, such as foams, could have contributed to the dust emissions.On Wednesday, Jan. 31, Chan issued a cease and desist order (CDO) banning the ship-breaking company from cutting any parts of mv Diamond Highway. Instead, the company was asked to clear the debris that may have caused the large volume of dust and shoulder the medication costs of those affected. The CDO came into effect on Thursday, Feb. 1.Chan said the resumption of the ship-breaking operation will depend on the findings of the Lapu-Lapu City Health Office (LLCHO), which is currently investigating the issue.No permit Punta Engaño residents started to file complaints on Jan. 28 over the alleged health and environmental hazards caused by the ship-breaking operation to the barangay committee on health, which then took action by seeking the help of the LLCHO, Department of Health and the Lapu-Lapu City Government.Barangay Councilor Mark Jonas Estardo, the committee’s assistant chairman, said residents also complained about black dust residue visible in their homes, particularly on their hung clothes. On Jan. 30, the Punta Engaño Barangay Council released a resolution stating that the barangay did not receive any letter or permit from the ship’s management regarding its ship-breaking operation. It was estimated that the operation began in May 2023, but the company did not secure any clearance from the barangay.SunStar Cebu reported last year, however, that the fire that struck the ship in late April 2023 could have been caused by the salvage operations being undertaken at the time by more than 20 workers.The resolution also noted that the company failed to present an Environmental Compliance Certificate from the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), a license or permit to operate, and a certificate of registration to the barangay.A separate investigation conducted by the City Health Office Surveillance Team (CHO-ST) on Jan. 28 found that the residue generated from cutting parts of the ship was not adequately managed, and there was evident residue accumulation within the vicinity of the ship. The company sought a permit for its ship-breaking operation from the Maritime Industry Authority.During the investigation, the CHO-ST discovered that containment measures observed during the cutting were insufficient, which heightened the risk of environmental pollution and compromised the safety of nearby residents. They also noted that the management did not strictly follow environmental protocols and guidelines for residue management during salvage operations.Children, livelihood affectedAccording to Estardo, children aged eight to 12 years old were among those affected. Around 105 of the 200 affected residents received medical attention from the LLCHO, while the others had gone to private hospitals and clinics. Estardo said officials from the City Environment and Natural Resources Office (Cenro), LLCHO and DENR are still conducting tests to determine the safety of fish swimming in waters near the ship. Most of the affected residents rely on fishing for a living.“Most of the affected residents are small-time fishermen who fish for consumption and then sell whatever is left to neighbors. The others are construction workers in hotels,” Estardo said in Cebuano.As for the safety of swimmers, the city’s Public Information Office said there are no resorts located near the ship-breaking area.Recommendation The CHO-ST initially recommended that the ongoing salvage operation be immediately stopped and for the shipping company to remove any residues that have accumulated within the facility.It also suggested that the shipping company establish suitable devices such as dust collectors or other equipment to contain residual or hazardous wastes generated during salvage operations due to the cutting of ship parts, fragments and debris.Meanwhile, to contain the dispersion of fumes, dust or powdery charcoal that may be produced as a by-product of the cutting or wrecking process, it is deemed necessary to install a wind barrier or an enclosure.To prevent the dispersion of accumulated residue into the environment, the CHO-ST suggested covering the area with tarpaulins or linoleum. Alternatively, the stored residue could be saturated frequently with water, which would allow the powder particles to remain on ground level.Lastly, the investigating body ordered the shipping company to submit a plan or standard operating procedure for the ship-breaking to the Philippine Coast Guard, Marina, Cenro, Punta Engaño officials and the DENR.Meanwhile, the LLCHO advised residents to observe proper sanitation and cleanliness of their surroundings, including proper waste segregation. Barangay officials were also tasked to provide adequate water for affected residents and to coordinate with the City Government.The office also demanded that the management of mv Diamond Highway provide medical and financial assistance to the affected residents. Estardo said the shipping firm has been heeding the suggestions and already donated alcohol, masks and anti-fungal ointments, among others. Best Roulette Website Philippines Cebu City Mayor Michael Rama wants the fair market value in the revised real property tax (RPT) ordinance to reflect the current rate, despite calls from businessmen to stagger its implementation.“Pass the law, and we can discuss the implementing rules after,” Rama said over Cebu City Hall’s online program “Ingna’ng Mayor” on Thursday, Feb. 29, 2024.As the mayor of the City of Cebu, Rama said he wants it approved.On Tuesday, Feb. 27, Rama urged the City Council to pass the ordinance pertaining to the revised RPT before the end of this month.However, City Councilor Noel Eleuterio Wenceslao, chairman of the committee on budget and finance, said he still needs to meet the other councilors to discuss the matter and reach a consensus.Wenceslao said jumping to final deliberations without having the stance of the majority might simply defer the ordinance.In his point of view as a lawyer, Rama argued that implementing rules may be deferred within reasonable time to allow those affected to adjust their operational and financial management.“But let the fair market value already be back to what it is at the current time,” Rama said.Rama found it unfair that property owners have enjoyed paying taxes based on the value 20 years ago.The RPT Code of Cebu City was last revised in 2002.“Ang yuta bayran na unta (The tax paid on real estate should be) on the present value,” Rama said.He said it is the rich’s corporate social responsibility to share by paying the right amount of taxes.ReactionOn Saturday, Cebu Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CCCI) president Jay Yuvallos said they are proactively working with the mayor, his team and the City Council on this. On the matter of the fair market valuation, he said they hope that it will reflect a truthful and realistic value. “Certainly not based on speculation (bloated), a reflection of a fair value will also protect the land owner,” he said. He said the mayor has also intimated that the implementation will be on a staggered basis. “What is important and the clamor of everyone is that the increase will be gradual so that it becomes affordable. This is subject to a more thorough discussion when we get there,” he said, adding: “We also take cognizance of the fact that they need revenues to finance projects which we also want to see very soon, especially infrastructure projects that can significantly impact the lives of every Cebuano.”Yuvallos said the goal of the chamber is to help its members and the business community in general to expand and grow business. “This will in effect widen the tax base (not only RPT) as a source of revenue for the City. We will work with the City on the ‘Ease of Doing Business’ and helping promote a Business-Friendly Cebu City as what the mayor wanted to espouse,” he said. He said the CCCI will introduce programs that will encourage expansion and investments into the city and promote global competitiveness of the enterprises in Cebu.Proposed ordinanceUnder the proposed ordinance, the formula for deriving the total tax due as explained during the public hearing Friday is getting first the market value of the property. This can be determined by multiplying the land area by the fair market value (FMV).Skyrocketing taxesAfterwards, the market value will be multiplied by the assessment level, which will generate the assessed value. Then, the assessed value will be multiplied by the three percent tax rate. The result is the total tax due.For instance, a 1,493-square-meter commercial property in the Cebu IT Park with a current tax due of P26,874 will have a tax due of P895,800 once the updated tax ordinance gets implemented.Similarly, a portion of Cebu Business Park under the jurisdiction of Barangay Hipodromo will see its FMV shoot up to P245,000 from P16,300 per square meter, significantly affecting the RPT that Ayala Land will have to cough up if the measure is approved.In the proposed RPT ordinance, the market value of properties in some prime locations in Cebu City is expected to increase from 200 to 3,200 percent. Mayor Rama urged the passage of the RPT Code in order to raise funds to realize the objectives of his administration like the Gubat sa Baha (War against Flooding) and other projects like the transitional housing that will house the families affected by the clearing of three-meter easement zones.On Cebu City Hall’s online program “Pagtuki, Pagsusi, Pagsuta” on Wednesday, Feb. 28, City Budget Officer Jerone Castillo said P600 million is intended for the design and construction of 600 transitional housing units for the first phase of the project.The P600 million is one of the items in the first supplemental budget that the executive department has requested the council to approve this year.Other items include budget allocations for the Palarong Pambansa, Charter day bonus, and adjustments for the City Council.

Is Philippines good at basketball? THE Iloilo City Government, through its Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council, has officially declared an outbreak of pertussis (whooping cough) during Monday’s emergency meeting, March 25, 2024.The declaration came following the recommendation of the Health and Sanitation Cluster headed by the City Health Office (CHO), which logged 15 cases of pertussis as of March 25, seven of which are confirmed and eight are suspected.Headed by Iloilo City Mayor Jerry Treñas, the council passed two resolutions, one is declaring on outbreak on pertussis and the other one, recommending to the City Council the declaration of a state of calamity due to the disease.The mayor said he will make an urgent request to the City Council, which is expected to hold a special session Tuesday, March 26, for the approval of the declaration.“We need to access funds coming from the calamity fund; we cannot access it unless there is a declaration of the state of calamity,” Treñas said.With the declaration, a proposed budget of P16 million has also been approved during the council meeting for the needed measures and responses against pertussis.A big chunk of the fund will go for the procurement of medicines and vaccines.“If necessary, we will add more funds,” Treñas added.CHO data showed that three of the confirmed cases are from Molo, two from Jaro 1, and one each from Jaro II and Arevalo.According to CHO Assistant Department Head Dr. Roland Jay Fortuna, a total of 26,000 children aged 0 to 59 months old from the districts of Jaro, Molo and Arevalo are projected for vaccination.“If we have an outbreak, we have what we call 'outbreak response immunization', that is why we need additional vaccines. For adults, pregnant women on their third trimester are also high-risk, so we will give them the vaccine also because there’s possibility that they may be a carrier and the baby who is not yet vaccinated will have a big chance to acquire pertussis,” Fortuna said.Meanwhile, the personnel of the Uswag Molecular Laboratory will undergo training for pertussis testing so the City will no longer send specimen to the Research Institute for Tropical Medicine.According to the CHO, pertussis, commonly known as whooping or violent cough, is a highly contagious respiratory infection caused by the bacterium Bordetella pertussis. In China, it is referred to as the "100-day cough. The incubation period is seven to 10 days.Individuals at high risk for pertussis include those who are younger than 12 months old, in the third trimester of pregnancy, have pre-existing health conditions, or have close contact with high risk.Symptoms include paroxysms of coughing, inspiratory "whooping," post-tussive vomiting, and apnea.It is transmitted through respiratory droplets. Preventive measures include respiratory hygiene, avoiding contact with unvaccinated or incompletely vaccinated patients, hand washing with soap and water or alcohol-based sanitizer, and droplet precautions in healthcare facilities.

Cebu City Mayor Michael Rama wants the fair market value in the revised real property tax (RPT) ordinance to reflect the current rate, despite calls from businessmen to stagger its implementation.“Pass the law, and we can discuss the implementing rules after,” Rama said over Cebu City Hall’s online program “Ingna’ng Mayor” on Thursday, Feb. 29, 2024.As the mayor of the City of Cebu, Rama said he wants it approved.On Tuesday, Feb. 27, Rama urged the City Council to pass the ordinance pertaining to the revised RPT before the end of this month.However, City Councilor Noel Eleuterio Wenceslao, chairman of the committee on budget and finance, said he still needs to meet the other councilors to discuss the matter and reach a consensus.Wenceslao said jumping to final deliberations without having the stance of the majority might simply defer the ordinance.In his point of view as a lawyer, Rama argued that implementing rules may be deferred within reasonable time to allow those affected to adjust their operational and financial management.“But let the fair market value already be back to what it is at the current time,” Rama said.Rama found it unfair that property owners have enjoyed paying taxes based on the value 20 years ago.The RPT Code of Cebu City was last revised in 2002.“Ang yuta bayran na unta (The tax paid on real estate should be) on the present value,” Rama said.He said it is the rich’s corporate social responsibility to share by paying the right amount of taxes.ReactionOn Saturday, Cebu Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CCCI) president Jay Yuvallos said they are proactively working with the mayor, his team and the City Council on this. On the matter of the fair market valuation, he said they hope that it will reflect a truthful and realistic value. “Certainly not based on speculation (bloated), a reflection of a fair value will also protect the land owner,” he said. He said the mayor has also intimated that the implementation will be on a staggered basis. “What is important and the clamor of everyone is that the increase will be gradual so that it becomes affordable. This is subject to a more thorough discussion when we get there,” he said, adding: “We also take cognizance of the fact that they need revenues to finance projects which we also want to see very soon, especially infrastructure projects that can significantly impact the lives of every Cebuano.”Yuvallos said the goal of the chamber is to help its members and the business community in general to expand and grow business. “This will in effect widen the tax base (not only RPT) as a source of revenue for the City. We will work with the City on the ‘Ease of Doing Business’ and helping promote a Business-Friendly Cebu City as what the mayor wanted to espouse,” he said. He said the CCCI will introduce programs that will encourage expansion and investments into the city and promote global competitiveness of the enterprises in Cebu.Proposed ordinanceUnder the proposed ordinance, the formula for deriving the total tax due as explained during the public hearing Friday is getting first the market value of the property. This can be determined by multiplying the land area by the fair market value (FMV).Skyrocketing taxesAfterwards, the market value will be multiplied by the assessment level, which will generate the assessed value. Then, the assessed value will be multiplied by the three percent tax rate. The result is the total tax due.For instance, a 1,493-square-meter commercial property in the Cebu IT Park with a current tax due of P26,874 will have a tax due of P895,800 once the updated tax ordinance gets implemented.Similarly, a portion of Cebu Business Park under the jurisdiction of Barangay Hipodromo will see its FMV shoot up to P245,000 from P16,300 per square meter, significantly affecting the RPT that Ayala Land will have to cough up if the measure is approved.In the proposed RPT ordinance, the market value of properties in some prime locations in Cebu City is expected to increase from 200 to 3,200 percent. Mayor Rama urged the passage of the RPT Code in order to raise funds to realize the objectives of his administration like the Gubat sa Baha (War against Flooding) and other projects like the transitional housing that will house the families affected by the clearing of three-meter easement zones.On Cebu City Hall’s online program “Pagtuki, Pagsusi, Pagsuta” on Wednesday, Feb. 28, City Budget Officer Jerone Castillo said P600 million is intended for the design and construction of 600 transitional housing units for the first phase of the project.The P600 million is one of the items in the first supplemental budget that the executive department has requested the council to approve this year.Other items include budget allocations for the Palarong Pambansa, Charter day bonus, and adjustments for the City Council.

RASH. Residents of Barangay Punta Engaño, Lapu-Lapu City reported getting skin rashes in late January 2024, which they attribute to the ship-breaking operations of mv Diamond Highway in the area. / LAPU-LAPU CITY PUBLIC inFORMATION OFFICEPITY THE CHILDREN. Children in Punta Engaño are among those who got skin rashes amid the ship-breaking operations of mv Diamond Highway in the area in January 2024. Complaints of skin rashes, throat irritation and cough came from four sitios. / LAPU-LAPU CITY PIOAROUND 200 residents from four sitios in Barangay Punta Engaño, Lapu-Lapu City have reported having skin rashes, throat irritation and cough, which they attribute to dust emissions from a ship-breaking operation in the area. Sitios Tulo, Lupa and Malingin, including a nearby compound, are the areas closest to the ship-breaking operation and are most affected by it.Mayor Junard Chan took to Facebook to announce he had ordered the temporary halt of the ship-breaking operations of mv Diamond Highway on Jan. 31, 2024. The ship ran aground during the onslaught of Typhoon Odette (Rai) in December 2021, and then it caught fire in April 2023 as it was being broken apart amid a salvage operation.Chan said the process of breaking and demolishing the ship could have caused a significant emission of dust, and burnt materials of the ship, such as foams, could have contributed to the dust emissions.On Wednesday, Jan. 31, Chan issued a cease and desist order (CDO) banning the ship-breaking company from cutting any parts of mv Diamond Highway. Instead, the company was asked to clear the debris that may have caused the large volume of dust and shoulder the medication costs of those affected. The CDO came into effect on Thursday, Feb. 1.Chan said the resumption of the ship-breaking operation will depend on the findings of the Lapu-Lapu City Health Office (LLCHO), which is currently investigating the issue.No permit Punta Engaño residents started to file complaints on Jan. 28 over the alleged health and environmental hazards caused by the ship-breaking operation to the barangay committee on health, which then took action by seeking the help of the LLCHO, Department of Health and the Lapu-Lapu City Government.Barangay Councilor Mark Jonas Estardo, the committee’s assistant chairman, said residents also complained about black dust residue visible in their homes, particularly on their hung clothes. On Jan. 30, the Punta Engaño Barangay Council released a resolution stating that the barangay did not receive any letter or permit from the ship’s management regarding its ship-breaking operation. It was estimated that the operation began in May 2023, but the company did not secure any clearance from the barangay.SunStar Cebu reported last year, however, that the fire that struck the ship in late April 2023 could have been caused by the salvage operations being undertaken at the time by more than 20 workers.The resolution also noted that the company failed to present an Environmental Compliance Certificate from the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), a license or permit to operate, and a certificate of registration to the barangay.A separate investigation conducted by the City Health Office Surveillance Team (CHO-ST) on Jan. 28 found that the residue generated from cutting parts of the ship was not adequately managed, and there was evident residue accumulation within the vicinity of the ship. The company sought a permit for its ship-breaking operation from the Maritime Industry Authority.During the investigation, the CHO-ST discovered that containment measures observed during the cutting were insufficient, which heightened the risk of environmental pollution and compromised the safety of nearby residents. They also noted that the management did not strictly follow environmental protocols and guidelines for residue management during salvage operations.Children, livelihood affectedAccording to Estardo, children aged eight to 12 years old were among those affected. Around 105 of the 200 affected residents received medical attention from the LLCHO, while the others had gone to private hospitals and clinics. Estardo said officials from the City Environment and Natural Resources Office (Cenro), LLCHO and DENR are still conducting tests to determine the safety of fish swimming in waters near the ship. Most of the affected residents rely on fishing for a living.“Most of the affected residents are small-time fishermen who fish for consumption and then sell whatever is left to neighbors. The others are construction workers in hotels,” Estardo said in Cebuano.As for the safety of swimmers, the city’s Public Information Office said there are no resorts located near the ship-breaking area.Recommendation The CHO-ST initially recommended that the ongoing salvage operation be immediately stopped and for the shipping company to remove any residues that have accumulated within the facility.It also suggested that the shipping company establish suitable devices such as dust collectors or other equipment to contain residual or hazardous wastes generated during salvage operations due to the cutting of ship parts, fragments and debris.Meanwhile, to contain the dispersion of fumes, dust or powdery charcoal that may be produced as a by-product of the cutting or wrecking process, it is deemed necessary to install a wind barrier or an enclosure.To prevent the dispersion of accumulated residue into the environment, the CHO-ST suggested covering the area with tarpaulins or linoleum. Alternatively, the stored residue could be saturated frequently with water, which would allow the powder particles to remain on ground level.Lastly, the investigating body ordered the shipping company to submit a plan or standard operating procedure for the ship-breaking to the Philippine Coast Guard, Marina, Cenro, Punta Engaño officials and the DENR.Meanwhile, the LLCHO advised residents to observe proper sanitation and cleanliness of their surroundings, including proper waste segregation. Barangay officials were also tasked to provide adequate water for affected residents and to coordinate with the City Government.The office also demanded that the management of mv Diamond Highway provide medical and financial assistance to the affected residents. Estardo said the shipping firm has been heeding the suggestions and already donated alcohol, masks and anti-fungal ointments, among others. Is Philippines good at basketball? .

For adults, pregnant women on their third trimester are also high-risk, so we will give them the vaccine also because there’s possibility that they may be a carrier and the baby who is not yet vaccinated will have a big chance to acquire pertussis,” Fortuna said.Meanwhile, the personnel of the Uswag Molecular Laboratory will undergo training for pertussis testing so the City will no longer send specimen to the Research Institute for Tropical Medicine.According to the CHO, pertussis, commonly known as whooping or violent cough, is a highly contagious respiratory infection caused by the bacterium Bordetella pertussis. In China, it is referred to as the "100-day cough. The incubation period is seven to 10 days.Individuals at high risk for pertussis include those who are younger than 12 months old, in the third trimester of pregnancy, have pre-existing health conditions, or have close contact with high risk.Symptoms include paroxysms of coughing, inspiratory "whooping," post-tussive vomiting, and apnea.It is transmitted through respiratory droplets. Preventive measures include respiratory hygiene, avoiding contact with unvaccinated or incompletely vaccinated patients, hand washing with soap and water or alcohol-based sanitizer, and droplet precautions in healthcare facilities.
