CEBU City Mayor Michael Rama has become “toxic” for Cebu City.This was how Metropolitan Cebu Water District (MCWD) chairman Jose Daluz III described Rama after the mayor divulged his plans, including his lineup, for the 2025 midterm elections.Daluz, in a statement on Wednesday, Feb. 21, 2024, said the opposition must unite to remove Rama from his position as local chief executive of Cebu City.“The opposition against the dancing and singing mayor of ‘Singapoor-like’ Melbourne features must unite to remove toxic Mike,” he said.Daluz said there are other leaders in Cebu who can better lead the city.“Save Cebu against toxic Mike,” Daluz said.He said the mayor has been making enemies, and cited the latter’s rift with the Cebu Port Authority (CPA) over the Compania Maritima property, as well as with the MCWD after Rama ordered the water district to stop all its excavations in the city.He said Rama also created bad blood with local government units (LGUs) in Cebu Province when the mayor insisted on holding the Sinulog Festival at the South Road Properties in the last two years.“He has been creating a lot of enemies, to the governor, to the CPA, and to the MCWD. Cebu City’s relationship to other LGUs is no longer healthy. I feel that,” Daluz said.“I think he needs to retire,” he added.SunStar Cebu tried to get Rama’s reaction to Daluz’s call for his removal, but the mayor had not replied as of press time.Last Saturday, Feb. 17, Rama announced that Vice Mayor Raymond Alvin Garcia would still be his running mate next year. He also disclosed on Monday, Feb. 19, the list of possible candidates who would be joining his slate.“Old-timers”Eleven are local legislators who were part of Team Barug’s lineup during the May 2022 elections.They are City Councilors Pastor Alcover, Noel Wenceslao, Edgardo “Jaypee” Labella II and Jerry Guardo from the north district; and City Councilors Jocelyn Pesquera, Donaldo “Dondon” Hontiveros, Rey Gealon, Phillip Zafra, Renato Osmeña, James Anthony Cuenco and Francis Esparis from the south district.Rama also included City Councilor Nestor Archival from the north district and ex-officio councilor Kasambagan Barangay Captain and Association of Barangay Councils president Franklyn Ong, as well as former Sangguniang Kabataaan (SK) president Jessica Resch.He also said he would support North District Rep. Rachel Marguerite “Cutie” del Mar.Archival, Ong and del Mar are members of the opposition Bando Osmeña-Pundok Kauswagan, which is led by former mayor Tomas Osmeña. “Newcomers”Rama also mentioned some new names who would be joining him, including Sambag I Barangay Captain Aileen Guardo, Cebu City Medical Center Director Peter Mancao, former Calape, Bohol mayor Ernest Herrera, Cebu City United Vendors Association Inc. president Maria Pino, and lawyer Melvin Legazpi for the north district; and his son Mikel for the south district.He said South District Rep. Edu Rama would be running for reelection under his team.Rama said City Councilor Joel Garganera is not on the list because the latter is on his last term. The City Council is composed of 18 councilors, with 16 elected from the two districts and two elected from the ranks of barangay captains and the SK. Daluz and Rama have been bickering since May 2023 after Rama dismissed Daluz as chairman of the MCWD board of directors.Last Oct. 31, Rama appointed Melquiades Feliciano, Aristotle Batuhan and Nelson Yuvallos to replace Daluz and MCWD board members Miguelito Pato and Jodelyn May Seno.Daluz’s Panaghiusa, Rama’s Partido Barug, and Vice Mayor Garcia’s Kugi Uswag Sugbo joined forces during the May 2022 elections.

Philippines THE Philippine Economic Zone Authority (Peza) has approved a total of P14.951 billion worth of investments in the first quarter of 2024.At a media forum on Saturday, March 16, 2024, Peza Director General Tereso Panga said there was a 19.25 percent increase in the amount of approved investments for the first three months of the year compared to the same period in 2023, which amounted to P12.537 billion.In March alone, approved investments totaled P2.845 billion, marking a 21.8 percent increase compared to March 2023, which stood at P2.343 billionPanga also said that half of these investments resulted from the foreign trips of President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.He noted that the foreign trips of the President have attracted more investments, with the latest from Germany and the Czech Republic.

(TPM/SunStar Philippines) The Most Popular Sports in the Philippines THE WATER supply of Metropolitan Cebu Water District (MCWD) has decreased due to the ongoing dry spell caused by the strong El Niño phenomenon.Tommy Gonzalez of the production department of MCWD said on Tuesday, March 5, 2024, that they have observed that the supply has been depleting since the last quarter of last year.MCWD is a primary water utility company, which serves the cities of Cebu, Mandaue, Talisay and Lapu-Lapu and the towns of Consolacion, Liloan, Compostela, and Cordova.He said they used to produce 301,000 cubic meters of water daily, but now they can only produce around 276,000 cubic meters per day.“We have consumers from the coverage area who are already complaining that their supposed 24-hour availability of water is now intermittent,” he said.He said the water needs of the entire Metro Cebu amount to 600,000 cubic meters per day, and they only provide 52 percent, or approximately 312,000 cubic meters.ClarificationHe clarified that MCWD does not serve everyone in the metro. Non-customers should not address their complaints to the water district, he said.Metro Cebu is made up of the cities of Carcar, Cebu, Danao, Lapu-Lapu, Mandaue, Naga and Talisay, and the towns of Compostela, Consolacion, Cordova, Liloan, Minglanilla and San Fernando.Gonzalez said MCWD currently acquires water from three distinct sources: desalinated seawater (10 percent), groundwater obtained from wells (50 percent), and surface water (40 percent), which encompasses both bulk water and sources owned by MCWD.He said the ongoing dry spell disproportionately affects the supply from surface water sources, which are directly exposed to the atmosphere and are therefore “more susceptible to the extensive heat.”Among its surface water sources are the Jaclupan wellfield in Talisay City, which normally produces 30,000 cubic meters, and the Buhisan Dam in Cebu City, which normally produces 5,000 cubic meters.However, he did not provide their current water output.Gonzalez said seawater can be a great source of supply since “seawater is limitless,” but he said it is expensive.However, he said they are currently capitalizing on establishing more desalination projects.On Dec. 28, 2022, MCWD signed a 25-year contract worth P20.7 billion for a joint venture with Pilipinas Water Resources Inc. and 8990 Housing Development Corp. to provide desalinated water.According to the contract, 10,000 cubic meters of water would be delivered daily in the first year, with the delivery increasing to 25,000 cubic meters per day for the remaining 24 years of the agreement.SunStar Cebu tried to contact Gonzalez for any updates on the water district’s water supply output, but he did not respond as of press time.Dry spellMeanwhile, Chief Alfredo “Al” Quiblat Jr. of the weather bureau Pagasa Visayas announced that Cebu is officially under a dry spell.A dry spell refers to three consecutive months of below-normal rainfall, or a drop of 21 percent to 60 percent, or two consecutive months of way below-normal rainfall, or a drop of more than 60 percent.According to records of the Cebu City Agriculture Department, 506 farmers out of the 10,719 registered farmers in the city’s 28 mountain barangays are already reeling from the effects of El Niño, with the extreme weather condition affecting 115 hectares of farmland.They suffer from lack of water which has damaged or destroyed some of their crops, said City Agriculturist Joelito Baclayon.“Nagproblema na sila, wala nitubo ilang mga tanom kay nagkulang na gyud and tubig. Ato silang gikuanan, gitagaan ug response dayon ug ato dayong gikuha ang posibile pud na may mga damages,” he said.(Some of their crops did not grow due to lack of water. We’ve already responded and collated the possible damage they have incurred.)The City Government has moved to implement mitigating measures to alleviate the plight of the affected farmers, which include a comprehensive barangay-to-barangay campaign and awareness caravan, rallying local communities and associations to identify and address pressing issues related to farming amid the El Niño.Baclayon said they have allocated P97 million in assistance but only for those who have suffered because of the El Niño.He said insured farmers can also file insurance claims.He said the City will also implement essential infrastructure projects like building mini-irrigations, and deploy power pumps, drums, hoses, as well as construct greenhouses to bolster agricultural resilience.Baclayon also highlighted the formation of three organizations that comprise approximately 97 mini-associations to streamline the distribution of resources and support across the 28 affected mountain barangays.“Importante kaayo na gi-organize namo sila kay they are the ones who would tell us asa gyud dapita within sa ilaha na area possibly naay enough na sufficiency nga kabutangan [where infrastructure projects will be implemented],” Baclayon said.(It was important to organize them since they are the ones who will tell us where infrastructure projects can be implemented to mitigate the effects of the El Niño,” he said in a mix of Cebuano and English.

He said that based on Peza’s running of figures, it could easily be at 43 percent of its P175.7 billion, or roughly P75 billion.Panga said the country achieved a 25 percent increase in investment rate or P175.7 billion in 2023, from a P140.7 billion base figure in 2022.Panga said all Peza’s current indicators are up for exports and employment, manifesting the Philippines’ upward trajectory for 2024, which is something that is expected for the year and onwards because of its excellent gross domestic product (GDP) performance since 2022.“The Philippines happens to have the highest GDP growth rate in ASEAN since ’22 po – for three years in a row now. That makes the Philippines one of the best-performing economies in the region,” he said.Panga also noted the country’s recovery from the Covid-19 pandemic, which accelerated during the second half of the Marcos administration, resulting in a 103 percent increase in investments.Peza, which was created in 1995, is the government agency designating areas all over the Philippines as economic zones.Peza has 422 operating economic zones covering manufacturing, agri-industrial, tourism, Information Technology and Business Process Management (IT-BPM), with all of the operating economic zones becoming home to more than 4,300 export-oriented locator companies.Peza is a big contributor to the economy -- almost 17 percent of the country’s GDP -- the Peza official said, noting more than 50 to 60 percent of the country’s total exports of goods and services come from the locators alone. (TPM/SunStar Philippines) licensed online casinos THE WATER supply of Metropolitan Cebu Water District (MCWD) has decreased due to the ongoing dry spell caused by the strong El Niño phenomenon.Tommy Gonzalez of the production department of MCWD said on Tuesday, March 5, 2024, that they have observed that the supply has been depleting since the last quarter of last year.MCWD is a primary water utility company, which serves the cities of Cebu, Mandaue, Talisay and Lapu-Lapu and the towns of Consolacion, Liloan, Compostela, and Cordova.He said they used to produce 301,000 cubic meters of water daily, but now they can only produce around 276,000 cubic meters per day.“We have consumers from the coverage area who are already complaining that their supposed 24-hour availability of water is now intermittent,” he said.He said the water needs of the entire Metro Cebu amount to 600,000 cubic meters per day, and they only provide 52 percent, or approximately 312,000 cubic meters.ClarificationHe clarified that MCWD does not serve everyone in the metro. Non-customers should not address their complaints to the water district, he said.Metro Cebu is made up of the cities of Carcar, Cebu, Danao, Lapu-Lapu, Mandaue, Naga and Talisay, and the towns of Compostela, Consolacion, Cordova, Liloan, Minglanilla and San Fernando.Gonzalez said MCWD currently acquires water from three distinct sources: desalinated seawater (10 percent), groundwater obtained from wells (50 percent), and surface water (40 percent), which encompasses both bulk water and sources owned by MCWD.He said the ongoing dry spell disproportionately affects the supply from surface water sources, which are directly exposed to the atmosphere and are therefore “more susceptible to the extensive heat.”Among its surface water sources are the Jaclupan wellfield in Talisay City, which normally produces 30,000 cubic meters, and the Buhisan Dam in Cebu City, which normally produces 5,000 cubic meters.However, he did not provide their current water output.Gonzalez said seawater can be a great source of supply since “seawater is limitless,” but he said it is expensive.However, he said they are currently capitalizing on establishing more desalination projects.On Dec. 28, 2022, MCWD signed a 25-year contract worth P20.7 billion for a joint venture with Pilipinas Water Resources Inc. and 8990 Housing Development Corp. to provide desalinated water.According to the contract, 10,000 cubic meters of water would be delivered daily in the first year, with the delivery increasing to 25,000 cubic meters per day for the remaining 24 years of the agreement.SunStar Cebu tried to contact Gonzalez for any updates on the water district’s water supply output, but he did not respond as of press time.Dry spellMeanwhile, Chief Alfredo “Al” Quiblat Jr. of the weather bureau Pagasa Visayas announced that Cebu is officially under a dry spell.A dry spell refers to three consecutive months of below-normal rainfall, or a drop of 21 percent to 60 percent, or two consecutive months of way below-normal rainfall, or a drop of more than 60 percent.According to records of the Cebu City Agriculture Department, 506 farmers out of the 10,719 registered farmers in the city’s 28 mountain barangays are already reeling from the effects of El Niño, with the extreme weather condition affecting 115 hectares of farmland.They suffer from lack of water which has damaged or destroyed some of their crops, said City Agriculturist Joelito Baclayon.“Nagproblema na sila, wala nitubo ilang mga tanom kay nagkulang na gyud and tubig. Ato silang gikuanan, gitagaan ug response dayon ug ato dayong gikuha ang posibile pud na may mga damages,” he said.(Some of their crops did not grow due to lack of water. We’ve already responded and collated the possible damage they have incurred.)The City Government has moved to implement mitigating measures to alleviate the plight of the affected farmers, which include a comprehensive barangay-to-barangay campaign and awareness caravan, rallying local communities and associations to identify and address pressing issues related to farming amid the El Niño.Baclayon said they have allocated P97 million in assistance but only for those who have suffered because of the El Niño.He said insured farmers can also file insurance claims.He said the City will also implement essential infrastructure projects like building mini-irrigations, and deploy power pumps, drums, hoses, as well as construct greenhouses to bolster agricultural resilience.Baclayon also highlighted the formation of three organizations that comprise approximately 97 mini-associations to streamline the distribution of resources and support across the 28 affected mountain barangays.“Importante kaayo na gi-organize namo sila kay they are the ones who would tell us asa gyud dapita within sa ilaha na area possibly naay enough na sufficiency nga kabutangan [where infrastructure projects will be implemented],” Baclayon said.(It was important to organize them since they are the ones who will tell us where infrastructure projects can be implemented to mitigate the effects of the El Niño,” he said in a mix of Cebuano and English.
