(Bayyo) and Bayyo President Anselmo Perweg, against the Department of Transportation's (DOTr) Department Order (DO) 2017-011 for the implementation of the PUVMP was denied due to lack of legal standing and violation of the principle of hierarchy of courts.“These factual issues should have been first brought before the proper trial courts or the Court of Appeals, both of which are specially equipped to try and resolve factual questions,” read the decision.It was also noted in the decision that while Bayyo attached a Securities and Exchange Commission certificate of registration as an association of operators and drivers, the articles of incorporation and by-laws and other competent proof were not submitted.“Bayyo also failed to establish who its members are and that it has been duly authorized by said members to institute the petition,” it added.The group attempted to shoot down the DO, noting that it is violative of the due process and equal protection clauses of the Constitution.Two more petitions seeking to call off the implementation of the PUVMP is still pending before the SC, both of which were filed by Piston and other members of transport groups.Named respondents in the petition were the DOTr, represented by Secretary Jaime Bautista, and the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB), represented by its chair, Teofilo Guadiz III.The PUVMP was initiated during the previous administration.It requires operators to replace their jeepneys with vehicles fitted with Euro-4 compliant engines as part of efforts to make an environment-friendly transport system in the country.

THE Department of Transportation (DOTr) plans to reintroduce the railway to Cebu after more than seven decades of absence.Transportation Undersecretary Timothy John Batan met with Gov. Gwendolyn Garcia on Thursday, Feb. 29, 2024, to present the “Metro Cebu Urban Transport Master Plan.”Cebu used to have a railway system that connected Argao in the south to Danao in the north, but it was severely damaged during the Second World War.After the meeting, Batan explained to reporters that the project is still in the pre-planning stages. He said they don’t have any concrete timeline, estimated costs or source of funding.The plan is to build a 67.5-kilometer underground passenger railway line or subway system that will connect Carcar City in the south to Danao City in the north.Batan said this will be similar to the ongoing construction of the 33-kilometer Metro Manila Subway in the National Capital Region.PartnershipDuring the discussion with the governor, the idea of implementing the project through a public-private partnership (PPP) at the local government unit (LGU) level was brought up.“We are excited about the possibility of another first: potentially the first subway that will be entirely financed by the local government through various funding strategies and without requiring national government funding,” Batan said.Under the Metro Cebu Urban Transport Master Plan in 2019, Batan said the railway-based transport backbone was identified as a crucial transportation system to address Cebu’s growing need for mass transit.“The beauty of the subway as first seen in the subway in Metro Manila is that between stations, we are tunneling underground and people don’t even know that we are already building underground, and that is what we are planning to do in Cebu,” he said.According to the DOTr’s presentation during the meeting, the proposed subway system aims to reduce traffic congestion and travel time, improve interconnection and passenger and commuter service, increase climate resiliency, and provide a more accessible public transportation for vulnerable groups and persons with limited mobility.The masterplan has two phases: Phase 1 will be the Urban Mass Rapid Transport (UMRT) Central Line that will connect Danao City, Compostela, Liloan, Consolacion, Mandaue City, Cebu City, Talisay City, Minglanilla Naga City, San Fernando and Carcar City.Phase 2 will be the UMRT Coastal Line that will connect Talisay City, Cebu City, Mandaue City and Lapu-Lapu City.The Metro Cebu Urban Transport Master Plan was completed in 2019 and was formulated by the Japan International Cooperation Agency.According to a post on the Facebook page of the Cebu Provincial Public Information Office on Thursday, Garcia proposed to the DOTr delegates to allow Cebu LGUs to take on the implementation of the proposed project, while the DOTr will maintain supervisory control.The report added that the Provincial Government shall introduce the project to private firms through its Economic Enterprise Council (EEC) for a possible PPP collaboration, subject to the rules and regulations set by law.With the LGU implementing the project, the necessary permits and the cooperation of the LGUs involved will certainly expedite the execution and completion of the proposed subway project. / EHP

Gwendolyn Garcia on Thursday, Feb. 29, 2024, to present the “Metro Cebu Urban Transport Master Plan.”Cebu used to have a railway system that connected Argao in the south to Danao in the north, but it was severely damaged during the Second World War.After the meeting, Batan explained to reporters that the project is still in the pre-planning stages. He said they don’t have any concrete timeline, estimated costs or source of funding.The plan is to build a 67.5-kilometer underground passenger railway line or subway system that will connect Carcar City in the south to Danao City in the north.Batan said this will be similar to the ongoing construction of the 33-kilometer Metro Manila Subway in the National Capital Region.PartnershipDuring the discussion with the governor, the idea of implementing the project through a public-private partnership (PPP) at the local government unit (LGU) level was brought up.“We are excited about the possibility of another first: potentially the first subway that will be entirely financed by the local government through various funding strategies and without requiring national government funding,” Batan said.Under the Metro Cebu Urban Transport Master Plan in 2019, Batan said the railway-based transport backbone was identified as a crucial transportation system to address Cebu’s growing need for mass transit.“The beauty of the subway as first seen in the subway in Metro Manila is that between stations, we are tunneling underground and people don’t even know that we are already building underground, and that is what we are planning to do in Cebu,” he said.According to the DOTr’s presentation during the meeting, the proposed subway system aims to reduce traffic congestion and travel time, improve interconnection and passenger and commuter service, increase climate resiliency, and provide a more accessible public transportation for vulnerable groups and persons with limited mobility.The masterplan has two phases: Phase 1 will be the Urban Mass Rapid Transport (UMRT) Central Line that will connect Danao City, Compostela, Liloan, Consolacion, Mandaue City, Cebu City, Talisay City, Minglanilla Naga City, San Fernando and Carcar City.Phase 2 will be the UMRT Coastal Line that will connect Talisay City, Cebu City, Mandaue City and Lapu-Lapu City.The Metro Cebu Urban Transport Master Plan was completed in 2019 and was formulated by the Japan International Cooperation Agency.According to a post on the Facebook page of the Cebu Provincial Public Information Office on Thursday, Garcia proposed to the DOTr delegates to allow Cebu LGUs to take on the implementation of the proposed project, while the DOTr will maintain supervisory control.The report added that the Provincial Government shall introduce the project to private firms through its Economic Enterprise Council (EEC) for a possible PPP collaboration, subject to the rules and regulations set by law.With the LGU implementing the project, the necessary permits and the cooperation of the LGUs involved will certainly expedite the execution and completion of the proposed subway project. / EHP

Gambling in the Philippines 2023 – the Latest Trends

SEVERAL mountain barangays in Cebu City are suffering from a lack of water and experiencing incidents of bush fires as a result of the dry hot season.This prompted the City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (CDRRMC) to pass a resolution declaring 28 barangays under a state of calamity following the adverse impact of the weather phenomenon El Niño on the farmers in these areas.These include the barangays of Budlaan, Binaliw, Paril, Taptap, Pulangbato, Guba, Cambinocot, Pamutan, Sirao, Sapangdaku, Sudlon 1, Sudlon 2, Bonbon, Buot, and Tagbao.City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (CDRRMO) head Harold Alcontin, in a phone interview on Sunday, March 24, 2024, said over 500 farmers have stopped planting their usual crops due to damage caused by the lack of water which is a result of the dry spell.He was unable to provide a complete list of affected barangays.In an earlier report, City Agriculturist Joelito Baclayon said there are 115 hectares of farm lands in the 28 barangays affected by the extreme weather condition as of March.There are currently 10,719 registered farmers in Cebu City growing lettuce, cabbages, cauliflower, cucumber, eggplants, sweet corn and tomatoes, among others.According to a previous SunStar report, Cebu City’s agriculture industry could produce between P500,000 to P1 million worth of crops daily. The figures could go as high as more than a million a day during peak season.“We have to act now. We will not wait for the worse to come,” Alcontin said in a mix of Cebuano and English.Alcontin said the CDRRMC resolution has been endorsed to the office of City Councilors Phillip Zafra and Joel Garganera for the City Council to adopt it.Once the council declares these barangays under a state of calamity, Alcontin said the barangays can use their calamity funds, while the City Government can use its Local Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Fund (LDRRMF).He said the City currently has P600 million in its calamity and quick response fund and P100 million in its LDRRMF.He said Mayor Michael Rama instructed them to first use the P100 million LDRRMF, considering it’s only the first quarter of the year.The City Agriculture Department (CAD) has prepared P97 million which will be used for assistance to the farmers.SunStar Cebu tried to reach Baclayon on Sunday to get more details, but to no avail.Alcontin said one of the measures they are implementing now is distributing water in the mountain barangays.He said they are also coordinating with the Metropolitan Cebu Water District to deploy their trucks for water rations in Barangays Buot and Pulangbato.In previous reports, Baclayon said 40 percent of the city’s food supply come from its mountain barangays.Alcontin said one of their assignments is to ensure that the city’s food supply is not hampered, hence the declaration of a state of calamity.Alcontin said the CAD and the Department of Veterinary Medicine and Fisheries are also tasked to ensure food supplies in the city remain stable amid the El Niño.The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) declared on Friday, March 22, the start of the “Philippine Summer.”Alfredo Quiblat Jr., chief of Pagasa Visayas, earlier announced that Cebu has officially been under a dry spell since the last week of February.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.The El Niño phenomenon leads to decreased precipitation or, in some cases, a complete absence of rainfall, which can significantly impact crop yields and pose various environmental and economic challenges.Pagasa also warned that the phenomenon may persist until the end of May.
