THE Partido Manggagawa (PM) Cebu chapter has criticized Visayas business chambers for their consistent opposition to wage hike proposals and questioned their concern for the well-being of ordinary workers.In a press release on Tuesday, Feb. 27, 2024, the labor group said this was not the first time that the business chambers have opposed wage hike proposals at regional wage boards since 1989 and legislated wage proposals since 1999.Earlier, a group of Visayas-based businesses, collectively known as One Visayas, expressed their opposition to the passage of Senate Bill (SB) 2534, also known as the P100 Daily Minimum Wage Increase Act of 2023.In a joint position paper dated Feb. 16, local chambers from the three Visayas regions namely the Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PCCI) Central Visayas, PCCI Western Visayas, and PCCI Eastern Visayas urged the government to attract investments and expand economic activities to boost labor and local productivity.But PM Cebu said the country has already experienced significant economic growth and doubled labor productivity in the past three decades; however, wages for workers have remained stagnant.“Even as they up the hype of apocalyptic death of local industry and El Niño of foreign investors, the fact remains that minimum wages all over the country fall under the national poverty threshold of P13,797 per month for a family of five,” PM Cebu said.PM Cebu said over 20 percent of the population remains poor, based on the latest Sovisl Weather Stations survey on self-rated poverty, despite assurances from government of a six percent growth in the country’s gross domestic product.“The problem is that employers always view wage hikes, union rights, and equitable distribution of wealth as anti-business,” PM Cebu said.It said wage rates still fall short of meeting the poverty threshold.“There is also a low level of investment despite this low wage regime incentives,” the labor group said.It argued that fair compensation for workers has broader benefits beyond concerns of inflation and unemployment.“We maintain that our call for legislated wage hikes is not intended to harm small businesses; rather, we believe that the positive ripple effects of higher take-home pay extend further than keeping wages at starvation levels,” it added. / EHP How does UEFA games work? Philippines THE Cebu City Government’s executive department has requested the council to approve a budget of P96.94 million for El Niño preparedness and response during a special online session on Wednesday, March 27, 2024.However, the City Council deferred the budget’s approval, saying it needs further discussion.In the same session, the council placed 28 mountain barangays under state of calamity due to the adverse impact of the weather phenomenon El Niño.The council acknowledged the need to help 506 farmers tilling 115 hectares of lands in these villages.City City Agriculturist Joelito Baclayon said the barangays are Budlaan, Binaliw, Paril, Taptap, Pulangbato, Mabini, Malubog, Agsungot, Guba, Lusaran, Adlaon, Cambinocot, Pamutan, Sirao, Sapangdaku, Toong, Buhisan, Pung-ol Sibugay, Babag, Sudlon 1, Sudlon 2, Bonbon, Sinsin, Kalunasan, Buot, Tagbao, Busay and Tabunan.Soil cracksCity Councilor Joel Garganera, who sponsored the resolution during the special session, said based on the report of the City Agriculture Department, the Butuanon River upstream and Cotcot-Lusaran have experienced reduced stream flows due to less rainfall, and at least 50 percent of farms have shown presence of soil cracks due to lack of water.In a text message to SunStar Cebu, Baclayon clarified that El Niño affects 37 barangays in the city. However, mountain barangays are receiving greater focus due to their concentration of farms.Garganera said during the session that El Niño’s impact extends beyond the uplands, with barangays like Talamban, Lahug and Guadalupe, known for hog raising, also experiencing its effects.The approved resolution allows necessary expenditures for critical, urgent, and appropriate measures to mitigate the ill impacts of El Niño to be charged to the 2024 quick response fund of the Local Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Fund (LDRRMF).However, the CDRRMO cannot still use the fund as the City Council still has to approve its annual investment plan (AIP) for its LDRRMF.Proposed budgetGarganera, chairman of the committee on environment, presented CDRRMO’s AIP during the special session. The resolution approves the Annual Investment Plan (AIP) of the Local Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Fund.The AIP covers agriculture expenditures: P80 million (purchase of seeds, fertilizers and pesticides, supplies, tools and equipment, and conduct of information campaign); health expenditures: P10 million (purchase of vaccines, drugs, and medicine for waterborne diseases, heat-related illnesses, and other supplies); and water sanitation and hygiene expenses: P2.74 million (procurement of a reverse osmosis water filtration system).Included also in the AIP are the budget for disaster response operations: P3 million (purchase of demolition/breaching tools, supplies, materials, and personal protective equipment); and information technology solutions: P1.2 million (two-year subscription of low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite-based internet connectivity, and equipment). LEO offers solutions to deliver internet access to remote or underserved areas where traditional ground-based infrastructure like cables or cell towers may be impossible or impractical to build.Councilors raise concernsCouncilor Nestor Archival questioned the necessity of the allocation for agricultural expenditures, arguing that the primary issue stemming from El Niño is water scarcity.“If we are going to give seeds, fertilizers and pesticides, these will be wasted because in farming the basic need is water,” he said.Archival also asked Garganera if the budget for procuring farm supplies had already been used and distributed to the farmers.Garganera said the amount remains unused.Agreeing to Archival’s opinion, Councilor Phillip Zafra suggested to the City prioritize purchasing materials to help conserve water, such as hoses, barrels, pumps and water trucks.Councilor Noel Wenceslao asked representatives from the agriculture department and city disaster office to further explain the proposed budget.For her part, Councilor Jocelyn Pesquera questioned the allocation of only P2.7 million for the reverse osmosis filtration system, despite its importance for addressing water supply issues.Pesquera also questioned the need to buy demolition/breaching tools and subscribe to LEO in response to the El Niño phenomenon.The councilor also asked if the personal protective equipment (PPE) is similar to the PPEs used during the Covid-19 pandemic, noting that the City still has several stocks.Garganera said the PPE is not for any respiratory-related diseases, but intended for agriculture use.Pesquera suggested that the CDRRMO re-study its proposed budget.Garganera moved to defer the budget approval and called for an executive session, which was seconded by Pesquera.

AFTER the demolition of two skywalks along Osmeña Blvd., Cebu City Mayor Michael Rama has announced plans to remove all the 10 remaining skywalks in the city.Over Cebu City Hall’s online program “Ingna’ng Mayor” on Thursday, March 14, 2024, Rama said the skywalks have not served their purpose and have instead become an interim drop-in center for some mendicants. He said the skywalks have become public comfort rooms, living rooms and living quarters.Rama said the skywalk in Barangay Day-as has one end connected to a sidewalk. In Barangay Banilad, one side of the skywalk ends on a sidewalk, while the other end leads to a jeepney parking lot. Additionally, some skywalks have one end connected to a sidewalk and the other end leading to establishments.He also noted that the skywalk on Escario St. is obstructing the sidewalk.He said skywalks should not obstruct the sidewalk or the roads.He said as a result of these issues, people no longer use the skywalks.He explained that skywalks would only be effective if equipped with elevators and escalators, but he also emphasized that the city no longer requires such structures. AlternativesDuring the program, SunStar Cebu asked Rama what would replace the skywalks, particularly for the benefit of students. The mayor suggested that tunnels (underpasses or underground pedestrian crossings) would be more effective, allowing people to cross streets underground, similar to practices observed in other countries.He said there are no skywalks in Melbourne, Australia and other countries.Rama said when he was in Boston in the United States, he was told to expose the sky, not create obstructions, referring to skywalks as obstructions.He said an underground crossing for pedestrians already exists in Quiapo district in Manila.AssessmentIn a chat message on Thursday, urban planner and engineer Nigel Paul Villarete acknowledged the usefulness of both overpasses and underpasses, yet he urged the City to do a realistic assessment of the advantages and disadvantages of each structure.“Some (areas) may be served by skywalks better. Others might do well with underpasses. But full technical and economic assessments should be done for each location,” Villarete said.He said underpasses might be preferable because they would not obstruct views and would not impede large vehicles traveling through the city. However, he acknowledged that they might be susceptible to flooding.Asked for the target completion date for the removal of all skywalks, Rama told SunStar Cebu in a follow-up phone interview Thursday not to worry about it, saying they had already removed at least two skywalks along Osmeña Blvd.Rama said he will meet with the Office of the Building Official, the City Engineering Office, and the City Planning and Development Office to discuss the matter.The two skywalks along Osmeña Blvd., one near Fuente Osmeña Circle and the other near Cebu Normal University, were removed last Feb. 18 and Feb. 25, respectively, as they were in the way of the Cebu Bus Rapid Transit (CBRT) construction.The main slabs of the two skywalks were stored in the city’s engineering office junkyard in the South Road Properties, awaiting evaluation to determine their viability and structural integrity for potential repurposing.It cost over P9 million to build these two skywalks 30 years ago.Five affectedAlso on Thursday, Cebu City Councilor Jerry Guardo, chairman of the committee on infrastructure, said they had identified at least five skywalks to be affected by the construction of the CBRT system.In the south district, these are the skywalks in Barangay Pardo in front of the Sto. Tomas de Villanueva Parish, the near the University of San Jose-Recoletos, and the one near Cebu Institute of Technology-University.In the north district, there are the skywalks in Barangay Kamputhaw (the one on Escario St.) and in Barangay Banilad.As for the five other skywalks in the city, two are situated downtown—one in Barangay Day-as going to Imus St., and another on Sanciangko St.There are also skywalks along V. Rama Ave., near Fuente Circle along Gen. Maxilom Ave., as well as near the Lahug Barangay Hall.Recover land Guardo added that, aside from removing the skywalks, they also need to recover at least three meters on each side to create an additional lane in the south.Guardo explained that the skywalks in the south also occupy the sidewalks, which they need to reclaim. On the timeline, Guardo said there is no specific time frame yet as the removal would align with the progress of the CBRT project.He said the removal of the skywalks will undergo the same process as that of the first two removed earlier, in which the Department of Transportation will request the Office of the Mayor and the City Council for the removal and recovery of the sidewalks.For the skywalks, clearance is also needed from the Commission on Audit since these are all government property, according to Guardo.When asked if they had already identified the owners of these skywalks, Guardo said all the skywalks were built using congressional funds, so they belonged to the respective districts that funded them.

THE Cebu City Government’s executive department has requested the council to approve a budget of P96.94 million for El Niño preparedness and response during a special online session on Wednesday, March 27, 2024.However, the City Council deferred the budget’s approval, saying it needs further discussion.In the same session, the council placed 28 mountain barangays under state of calamity due to the adverse impact of the weather phenomenon El Niño.The council acknowledged the need to help 506 farmers tilling 115 hectares of lands in these villages.City City Agriculturist Joelito Baclayon said the barangays are Budlaan, Binaliw, Paril, Taptap, Pulangbato, Mabini, Malubog, Agsungot, Guba, Lusaran, Adlaon, Cambinocot, Pamutan, Sirao, Sapangdaku, Toong, Buhisan, Pung-ol Sibugay, Babag, Sudlon 1, Sudlon 2, Bonbon, Sinsin, Kalunasan, Buot, Tagbao, Busay and Tabunan.Soil cracksCity Councilor Joel Garganera, who sponsored the resolution during the special session, said based on the report of the City Agriculture Department, the Butuanon River upstream and Cotcot-Lusaran have experienced reduced stream flows due to less rainfall, and at least 50 percent of farms have shown presence of soil cracks due to lack of water.In a text message to SunStar Cebu, Baclayon clarified that El Niño affects 37 barangays in the city. However, mountain barangays are receiving greater focus due to their concentration of farms.Garganera said during the session that El Niño’s impact extends beyond the uplands, with barangays like Talamban, Lahug and Guadalupe, known for hog raising, also experiencing its effects.The approved resolution allows necessary expenditures for critical, urgent, and appropriate measures to mitigate the ill impacts of El Niño to be charged to the 2024 quick response fund of the Local Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Fund (LDRRMF).However, the CDRRMO cannot still use the fund as the City Council still has to approve its annual investment plan (AIP) for its LDRRMF.Proposed budgetGarganera, chairman of the committee on environment, presented CDRRMO’s AIP during the special session. The resolution approves the Annual Investment Plan (AIP) of the Local Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Fund.The AIP covers agriculture expenditures: P80 million (purchase of seeds, fertilizers and pesticides, supplies, tools and equipment, and conduct of information campaign); health expenditures: P10 million (purchase of vaccines, drugs, and medicine for waterborne diseases, heat-related illnesses, and other supplies); and water sanitation and hygiene expenses: P2.74 million (procurement of a reverse osmosis water filtration system).Included also in the AIP are the budget for disaster response operations: P3 million (purchase of demolition/breaching tools, supplies, materials, and personal protective equipment); and information technology solutions: P1.2 million (two-year subscription of low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite-based internet connectivity, and equipment). LEO offers solutions to deliver internet access to remote or underserved areas where traditional ground-based infrastructure like cables or cell towers may be impossible or impractical to build.Councilors raise concernsCouncilor Nestor Archival questioned the necessity of the allocation for agricultural expenditures, arguing that the primary issue stemming from El Niño is water scarcity.“If we are going to give seeds, fertilizers and pesticides, these will be wasted because in farming the basic need is water,” he said.Archival also asked Garganera if the budget for procuring farm supplies had already been used and distributed to the farmers.Garganera said the amount remains unused.Agreeing to Archival’s opinion, Councilor Phillip Zafra suggested to the City prioritize purchasing materials to help conserve water, such as hoses, barrels, pumps and water trucks.Councilor Noel Wenceslao asked representatives from the agriculture department and city disaster office to further explain the proposed budget.For her part, Councilor Jocelyn Pesquera questioned the allocation of only P2.7 million for the reverse osmosis filtration system, despite its importance for addressing water supply issues.Pesquera also questioned the need to buy demolition/breaching tools and subscribe to LEO in response to the El Niño phenomenon.The councilor also asked if the personal protective equipment (PPE) is similar to the PPEs used during the Covid-19 pandemic, noting that the City still has several stocks.Garganera said the PPE is not for any respiratory-related diseases, but intended for agriculture use.Pesquera suggested that the CDRRMO re-study its proposed budget.Garganera moved to defer the budget approval and called for an executive session, which was seconded by Pesquera. The session is scheduled for Tuesday, April 2, at 1 p.m. / AML, JJL licensed online casinos AFTER the demolition of two skywalks along Osmeña Blvd., Cebu City Mayor Michael Rama has announced plans to remove all the 10 remaining skywalks in the city.Over Cebu City Hall’s online program “Ingna’ng Mayor” on Thursday, March 14, 2024, Rama said the skywalks have not served their purpose and have instead become an interim drop-in center for some mendicants. He said the skywalks have become public comfort rooms, living rooms and living quarters.Rama said the skywalk in Barangay Day-as has one end connected to a sidewalk. In Barangay Banilad, one side of the skywalk ends on a sidewalk, while the other end leads to a jeepney parking lot. Additionally, some skywalks have one end connected to a sidewalk and the other end leading to establishments.He also noted that the skywalk on Escario St. is obstructing the sidewalk.He said skywalks should not obstruct the sidewalk or the roads.He said as a result of these issues, people no longer use the skywalks.He explained that skywalks would only be effective if equipped with elevators and escalators, but he also emphasized that the city no longer requires such structures. AlternativesDuring the program, SunStar Cebu asked Rama what would replace the skywalks, particularly for the benefit of students. The mayor suggested that tunnels (underpasses or underground pedestrian crossings) would be more effective, allowing people to cross streets underground, similar to practices observed in other countries.He said there are no skywalks in Melbourne, Australia and other countries.Rama said when he was in Boston in the United States, he was told to expose the sky, not create obstructions, referring to skywalks as obstructions.He said an underground crossing for pedestrians already exists in Quiapo district in Manila.AssessmentIn a chat message on Thursday, urban planner and engineer Nigel Paul Villarete acknowledged the usefulness of both overpasses and underpasses, yet he urged the City to do a realistic assessment of the advantages and disadvantages of each structure.“Some (areas) may be served by skywalks better. Others might do well with underpasses. But full technical and economic assessments should be done for each location,” Villarete said.He said underpasses might be preferable because they would not obstruct views and would not impede large vehicles traveling through the city. However, he acknowledged that they might be susceptible to flooding.Asked for the target completion date for the removal of all skywalks, Rama told SunStar Cebu in a follow-up phone interview Thursday not to worry about it, saying they had already removed at least two skywalks along Osmeña Blvd.Rama said he will meet with the Office of the Building Official, the City Engineering Office, and the City Planning and Development Office to discuss the matter.The two skywalks along Osmeña Blvd., one near Fuente Osmeña Circle and the other near Cebu Normal University, were removed last Feb. 18 and Feb. 25, respectively, as they were in the way of the Cebu Bus Rapid Transit (CBRT) construction.The main slabs of the two skywalks were stored in the city’s engineering office junkyard in the South Road Properties, awaiting evaluation to determine their viability and structural integrity for potential repurposing.It cost over P9 million to build these two skywalks 30 years ago.Five affectedAlso on Thursday, Cebu City Councilor Jerry Guardo, chairman of the committee on infrastructure, said they had identified at least five skywalks to be affected by the construction of the CBRT system.In the south district, these are the skywalks in Barangay Pardo in front of the Sto. Tomas de Villanueva Parish, the near the University of San Jose-Recoletos, and the one near Cebu Institute of Technology-University.In the north district, there are the skywalks in Barangay Kamputhaw (the one on Escario St.) and in Barangay Banilad.As for the five other skywalks in the city, two are situated downtown—one in Barangay Day-as going to Imus St., and another on Sanciangko St.There are also skywalks along V. Rama Ave., near Fuente Circle along Gen. Maxilom Ave., as well as near the Lahug Barangay Hall.Recover land Guardo added that, aside from removing the skywalks, they also need to recover at least three meters on each side to create an additional lane in the south.Guardo explained that the skywalks in the south also occupy the sidewalks, which they need to reclaim. On the timeline, Guardo said there is no specific time frame yet as the removal would align with the progress of the CBRT project.He said the removal of the skywalks will undergo the same process as that of the first two removed earlier, in which the Department of Transportation will request the Office of the Mayor and the City Council for the removal and recovery of the sidewalks.For the skywalks, clearance is also needed from the Commission on Audit since these are all government property, according to Guardo.When asked if they had already identified the owners of these skywalks, Guardo said all the skywalks were built using congressional funds, so they belonged to the respective districts that funded them.
