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.

Pesquera said several JO personnel have been working without appointments and salaries for the last two months. Zafra suggested acting on the JOs’ plight first before acting on the Charter Day bonus.Cuenco also questioned one of the sources of funds for the cash incentives, which will be the savings from personal services.He said the Cebu City Transportation Office has the highest savings, but only because it did not renew the appointment of many traffic enforcers.“They were not renewed because the City was rightsizing. That’s why the traffic situation in the city has worsened because we lack enforcers... What we see now is the City has been skimping on money, only to find out that we are doing this so we can give a bonus. This is very absurd,” he said in a mix of Cebuano and English.He said the City should instead appropriate money to buy tow trucks capable of towing 10-wheeler trucks.Cuenco, who also chairs the transportation committee, said the City had to borrow a heavy-duty tow truck from Mandaue City to tow a truck that had broken down inside the tunnel of the Cebu South Coastal Road, which caused a four-hour traffic jam last Feb. 20.“Uwaw kaayo (It was shameful),” he said.Cuenco also said the bonus should be given to employees in need like the JOs, and not to those who are already in the position.He said it is incumbent on them, as City Hall employees and officials, to perform well without any incentive. But Wenceslao said not all regular and casual employees will receive the Charter Day bonus, emphasizing that only those who received a satisfactory performance rating will get one. He said there are currently 4,784 regular and casual employees and 3,357 JO personnel working in City Hall. The SB 1 also covers the P205 million for the preparation of the Palarong Pambansa in July, P600 million for transitional housing, and P21 million for the City Council upgrade, among others.

Nansha Qundao and its adjacent waters, including Ren’ai Jiao, have always been China’s territory. This is established in the long course of history, and complies with international law,” Lin said.“The Philippines should immediately stop its infringement and provocation, and refrain from undermining peace and stability in the South China Sea. If the Philippines insists on going its own way, China will continue to adopt resolute measures to safeguard its territorial sovereignty and maritime rights and interests. The Philippines should be prepared to bear all potential consequences,” he added.In a separate statement, China Coast Guard spokesperson Gan Yun said the Philippines’ “irregular” resupply mission to Ren’ai Jiao infringes upon China’s sovereignty and legitimate rights and interests and undermines peace and stability in the South China Sea.He echoed Lin’s statement that the operation is an attempt to bring construction materials in the “illegal grounded” ship, noting that it was only 18 days after its last resupply mission.“The China Coast Guard implemented lawful regulation, interception, and expulsion in a reasonable and professional manner,” said Gan.“We warn the Philippines that playing with fire is an invitation of disgrace, and the China Coast Guard is ready at all times to defend the country's territorial sovereignty and maritime rights and interests,” he added.The Philippine government, however, stood firm of its position that the territory is within its exclusive economic zone.In an interview with reporters, Defense Secretary Gilbert Teodoro Jr. urged China to bring their sovereignty claim of the South China Sea to arbitration instead of issuing threats, as he noted that not a single country in the world believes in their claims.“Kung talagang gusto nila, kung talaga siguro hindi sila natatakot na ihayag sa boung mundo ang kanilang claim, bakit hindi tayo mag-arbitrate sa ilalim ng international law para maliwanag sa lahat kung ano ang karapatan ng kahit sino,” he said.(If they really want to, if they really are not afraid to reveal their claim to the world, why don't we arbitrate under international law so that it is clear to everyone what is the right of anyone.)Teodoro maintains that the rotation and resupply missions being conducted in the WPS are legitimate and regular.On Saturday, March 23, Chinese Coast Guard and Chinese Maritime Militia acted recklessly and dangerously against Philippine Coast Guard vessels and Unaizah May 4 (UM4) using water cannons, causing severe damage to the vessel and injuries to three Navy personnel onboard.3 Navy personnel hurt amid China’s continuous aggression in WPSNational Security Adviser and National Task Force on West Philippine Sea chairman Eduardo Año has requested the convening of a meeting with Executive Secretary Lucas Bersamin and the National Security Cluster for purposes of making recommendations to President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. regarding the incident.

Zafra suggested acting on the JOs’ plight first before acting on the Charter Day bonus.Cuenco also questioned one of the sources of funds for the cash incentives, which will be the savings from personal services.He said the Cebu City Transportation Office has the highest savings, but only because it did not renew the appointment of many traffic enforcers.“They were not renewed because the City was rightsizing. That’s why the traffic situation in the city has worsened because we lack enforcers... What we see now is the City has been skimping on money, only to find out that we are doing this so we can give a bonus. This is very absurd,” he said in a mix of Cebuano and English.He said the City should instead appropriate money to buy tow trucks capable of towing 10-wheeler trucks.Cuenco, who also chairs the transportation committee, said the City had to borrow a heavy-duty tow truck from Mandaue City to tow a truck that had broken down inside the tunnel of the Cebu South Coastal Road, which caused a four-hour traffic jam last Feb. 20.“Uwaw kaayo (It was shameful),” he said.Cuenco also said the bonus should be given to employees in need like the JOs, and not to those who are already in the position.He said it is incumbent on them, as City Hall employees and officials, to perform well without any incentive. But Wenceslao said not all regular and casual employees will receive the Charter Day bonus, emphasizing that only those who received a satisfactory performance rating will get one. He said there are currently 4,784 regular and casual employees and 3,357 JO personnel working in City Hall.

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.

MAJORITY of regular and casual employees of the Cebu City Government may soon receive their Charter Day bonus of P25,000. During a special session on Friday, March 8, 2024, the City Council approved the first supplemental budget (SB 1) amounting to P972 million. The amount includes the P121 million for the cash incentive, as well as the P5,000 gratuity pay of job order (JO) employees. Some councilors, though, were not happy, saying the City had other pressing matters that needed to be addressed instead of granting bonuses.Councilors Phillip Zafra, Donaldo Hontiveros, James Anthony Cuenco, Renato Osmeña Jr., and Pancrasio Esparis said they would not accept the money.Justification During the discussion on the Program on Awards and Incentives for Service Excellence’s (Praise) resolution that recommended the grant of service excellence incentive to regular and casual employees, Cuenco questioned the justifications of the executive department to give the P25,000 bonus.He said the City just gave the employees a P20,000 cash incentive two months ago.He said the justifications were only a “copy paste” of last December’s justification. “There should be a sort of real reward and performance done by the employees that will give reason for the grant of incentive. Maybe they give honor or recognition to the City... I am bothered by the fact that all these rewards they mentioned are the same as those that have been mentioned for the grant of incentive last December for Christmas bonus,” Cuenco said in mixed Cebuano and English. “Murag man ta’g giinsulto ani gud (It seems like we’re being insulted),” added Cuenco, chairman of the committee on budget and finance.Councilor Noel Wenceslao said the Praise committee added three new items to justify the Charter Day bonus.These were the Gawad Kalasag (Kalamidad at Sakuna Labanan Sariling Galing ang Kaligtasan) Seal, a special award for excellence in Disaster Risk Reduction and Management in Humanitarian Assistance, and the acknowledgement made by Cebu engineers and architects “for the City’s efficient and effective administration in creating and sustaining mindful relationship to foster and strengthen connections and collaborations of professional expertise.” Priorities Cuenco and Councilor Jocelyn Pesquera said the executive department should have first addressed the matter of unpaid JO personnel and the purchase of a heavy-duty tow truck.

Cebu City celebrated its 87th Charter Day last Feb. 24. / JJL, AML licensed online casinos A CHINESE official has warned the Philippines of “potential consequences” amid its continued “infringement” in the South China Sea, which it maintains to be part of their territory.In a statement, China Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian expressed strong opposition, as he accused the Philippines of sending construction materials to BRP Sierra Madre, which was deliberately grounded by the Philippine government in Ayungin Shoal to signify the country’s sovereignty in the West Philippine Sea (WPS).“China Coast Guard took necessary measures at sea to safeguard our rights, firmly obstructed the Philippines’ vessels, and foiled the Philippines’ attempt. Nansha Qundao and its adjacent waters, including Ren’ai Jiao, have always been China’s territory. This is established in the long course of history, and complies with international law,” Lin said.“The Philippines should immediately stop its infringement and provocation, and refrain from undermining peace and stability in the South China Sea. If the Philippines insists on going its own way, China will continue to adopt resolute measures to safeguard its territorial sovereignty and maritime rights and interests. The Philippines should be prepared to bear all potential consequences,” he added.In a separate statement, China Coast Guard spokesperson Gan Yun said the Philippines’ “irregular” resupply mission to Ren’ai Jiao infringes upon China’s sovereignty and legitimate rights and interests and undermines peace and stability in the South China Sea.He echoed Lin’s statement that the operation is an attempt to bring construction materials in the “illegal grounded” ship, noting that it was only 18 days after its last resupply mission.“The China Coast Guard implemented lawful regulation, interception, and expulsion in a reasonable and professional manner,” said Gan.“We warn the Philippines that playing with fire is an invitation of disgrace, and the China Coast Guard is ready at all times to defend the country's territorial sovereignty and maritime rights and interests,” he added.The Philippine government, however, stood firm of its position that the territory is within its exclusive economic zone.In an interview with reporters, Defense Secretary Gilbert Teodoro Jr. urged China to bring their sovereignty claim of the South China Sea to arbitration instead of issuing threats, as he noted that not a single country in the world believes in their claims.“Kung talagang gusto nila, kung talaga siguro hindi sila natatakot na ihayag sa boung mundo ang kanilang claim, bakit hindi tayo mag-arbitrate sa ilalim ng international law para maliwanag sa lahat kung ano ang karapatan ng kahit sino,” he said.(If they really want to, if they really are not afraid to reveal their claim to the world, why don't we arbitrate under international law so that it is clear to everyone what is the right of anyone.)Teodoro maintains that the rotation and resupply missions being conducted in the WPS are legitimate and regular.On Saturday, March 23, Chinese Coast Guard and Chinese Maritime Militia acted recklessly and dangerously against Philippine Coast Guard vessels and Unaizah May 4 (UM4) using water cannons, causing severe damage to the vessel and injuries to three Navy personnel onboard.3 Navy personnel hurt amid China’s continuous aggression in WPSNational Security Adviser and National Task Force on West Philippine Sea chairman Eduardo Año has requested the convening of a meeting with Executive Secretary Lucas Bersamin and the National Security Cluster for purposes of making recommendations to President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. regarding the incident.
