MORE than a hundred officials of the National Food Authority (NFA) were preventively suspended, on the orders of the Office of the Ombudsman, over their alleged involvement in the controversial sale of rice buffer stocks.In a statement on Monday, March 4, 2024, Department of Agriculture Secretary Francisco Tiu Laurel Jr. said they will be implementing the order of the Ombudsman, effective March 4, against the 139 officials, including NFA administrator Roderico Bioco, assistant administrator for operations John Robert Hermano, and several regional managers and warehouse supervisors from across the country.“Kinokondena at hindi palalampasin ang anumang uri ng korapsyon. Kaisa ako ng Ombudsman sa layunin nating alamin ang katotohanan at parusahan ang dapat maparusahan,” Laurel said.(Corruption of any kind is condemned and will not be tolerated. I am with the Ombudsman in our goal to find out the truth and punish those who deserve to be punished.)“I have been in contact with the Office of the Ombudsman ever since this controversy erupted. I also created a special panel of internal investigators to determine culpability and see how we can prevent it from happening again in the future,” he added.Laurel said he will temporarily take over the helm of the NFA to avoid any delays in the services and projects of the agency.Bioco earlier filed a leave of absence to pave the way for the investigation on the matter, which is “greatly disadvantageous to the government.”The investigation covers the sale of milled rice stored in NFA’s warehouse for P25 a kilogram without bidding. The palay grains were bought at P23 per kilogram.Meanwhile, Senator Imee Marcos filed on Monday, March 4, 2024, Senate Resolution 940 seeking the conduct of an inquiry into the "highly suspicious" P93.75-million sale of 75,000 bags of rice stock to two traders.She expressed alarm considering the prevailing El Niño phenomenon, which badly affects the country’s rice stock.On February 12, NFA Assistant Administrator for Operations Lemuel Pagayuman sent a letter of complaint to the Office of the President revealing the illegal sale of "treated and fit for consumption" rice stocks by Bioco to two rice traders.Bioco in several memorandum claimed that the rice stocks are already deteriorating or aging, hence, allowing its sale.Hermano on November 13, 2023 issued a memorandum ordering to rebag the rice stocks in containers without NFA markings.Pagayuman said the buyers were pre-selected as no other bidders or buyers were allowed to take part in the bidding to buy the NFA stocks.In calling for an investigation, Marcos emphasized that a thorough review of the NFA's mandate was crucial to deal with a global rice shortage.Marcos noted that her late father, former President Ferdinand Marcos Sr., established the NFA in 1972 to buy palay from local farmers, stabilize rice prices for the Filipino consumer, and ensure a sufficient buffer stock for calamities.“However, the agency has repeatedly fallen short of its required buffer stock and been unable to cope with higher farmgate prices of palay, which rose to as high as 27 pesos per kilo last year. Although palay's farmgate price has dipped to P23, the NFA had earlier pegged its capacity to subsidize local farmers at only 17 to 19 pesos per kilo,” the senator said.“The NFA has been unable to support all local farmers desperate for aid, especially when rice smuggling forced them to sell their harvests below the cost of production,” she added.

Bacalso Ave., especially the Talisay-Minglanilla Road section,” Paylado said.It will also serve as a continuation of the proposed Cebu City South Blvd. (traversing the SRP near the pond) and the proposed Mambaling South Blvd.The project will be 15 kilometers long with an estimated cost of P7.8 billion for civil works and road right-of-way acquisition, Paylado said.With the latest setback, Paylado said the DPWH 7 is proposing through its central office the inclusion of the proposed P18.6 million FS budget in the 2025 annual budget.The FS and the detailed engineering design of the Cebu City South Blvd. and the Mambaling South Blvd. are due this year, but he did not say exactly when these will be completed.Paylado said the two road sections will serve as alternate roads to decongest traffic in the interior portion of Cebu City towards the back of the SRP.The DPWH 7 official said the south coastal road project can be implemented through a Public-Private-Partnership.Sixth District PB Member Glenn Anthony Soco, who invited the DPWH 7 officials, said he will study their presentation before issuing a resolution that will seek to expedite the project in the next round of discussions.He told the DPWH 7 to follow Ordinance 2023-05 that mandates all national government agencies to coordinate with the PB and the Provincial Government for the seamless implementation of projects.First proposalAn alternative road from the City of Naga to the SRP to decongest the national highway was floated in 2015 by the Provincial Development Council (PDC).The then PDC proposed the opening of the old Philippine National Railways routes that ran parallel to N. Bacalso Ave.In 2017, then Minglanilla Mayor Elanito Peña proposed anew the coastal bypass road with an estimated project cost of P16 billion, to be funded by the National Government.It was slated to traverse the coastal villages of Tungkop, Tulay, Calajoan, and Tungkil in Minglanilla.However, there is no update regarding the proposal.In July 2022, Leonard Abao of DPWH met with incumbent Minglanilla Mayor Rajiv Enad to discuss the construction of a coastal road.“We will explore alternative routes and establish diversion roads with the help of our congressman (First District Rep. Rhea Gullas), in order to ease the volume of road users on the national highway,” Enad said in a statement posted on the the town’s official social media page on July 4, 2022. / EHP

LOOC Barangay Captain Raul Cabahug announced on Thursday, March 14, 2024, that the Mandaue City government will not allow the Sitio Under the Bridge residents to rebuild their homes in the fire-affected area.More than 500 families were displaced by the fire that hit the sitio on Tuesday, March 12.Cabahug said the City Government has decided to reblock and construct a temporary housing site to relocate the displaced fire victims. Reblocking involves increasing the distance between houses to prevent the spread of fire and enable emergency responders to access the site.The relocation site will still be in Barangay Looc. It will be beside the University of Cebu Lapu-Lapu Mandaue Campus (UCLM), along the road leading to Barangay Opao called Sitio Riverside.Cabahug earlier said Sitio Under the Bridge is located on a nationally owned property in an area considered a danger zone.“Aduna na ma’y panghitabo nga wala g’yud nato damha. Mao na nga atong ikuan nga di na sad ni sila mabalik, para di mausab ning maong panghitabo. Pung pa sa mayor nga mura ta’g sirang plaka puhon na sad magtukod under the bridge. Wala ta kahibaw unsay mahitabo,” said Cabahug.(We did not anticipate this fire, which is why we need to ensure that those affected do not return to the area to prevent a similar incident from happening again. As Mayor Jonas Cortes described it, this situation will be like a broken record if we let them build again under the bridge. We cannot predict what will happen next.)Barangay hall movingCabahug also announced the intention to relocate the Looc Barangay Hall. He said this move is crucial due to the need to designate the area, including Sitio Under the Bridge, as a “no build zone.” These areas are designated as easement areas due to safety concerns and are not recommended for human habitation.Temporary evacuationsThe fire victims are temporarily sheltered at Looc Gymnasium and Cesar Cabahug Elementary School located beside the gym.The elementary school suspended classes temporarily to facilitate the evacuation of fire victims.

The palay grains were bought at P23 per kilogram.Meanwhile, Senator Imee Marcos filed on Monday, March 4, 2024, Senate Resolution 940 seeking the conduct of an inquiry into the "highly suspicious" P93.75-million sale of 75,000 bags of rice stock to two traders.She expressed alarm considering the prevailing El Niño phenomenon, which badly affects the country’s rice stock.On February 12, NFA Assistant Administrator for Operations Lemuel Pagayuman sent a letter of complaint to the Office of the President revealing the illegal sale of "treated and fit for consumption" rice stocks by Bioco to two rice traders.Bioco in several memorandum claimed that the rice stocks are already deteriorating or aging, hence, allowing its sale.Hermano on November 13, 2023 issued a memorandum ordering to rebag the rice stocks in containers without NFA markings.Pagayuman said the buyers were pre-selected as no other bidders or buyers were allowed to take part in the bidding to buy the NFA stocks.In calling for an investigation, Marcos emphasized that a thorough review of the NFA's mandate was crucial to deal with a global rice shortage.Marcos noted that her late father, former President Ferdinand Marcos Sr., established the NFA in 1972 to buy palay from local farmers, stabilize rice prices for the Filipino consumer, and ensure a sufficient buffer stock for calamities.“However, the agency has repeatedly fallen short of its required buffer stock and been unable to cope with higher farmgate prices of palay, which rose to as high as 27 pesos per kilo last year. Although palay's farmgate price has dipped to P23, the NFA had earlier pegged its capacity to subsidize local farmers at only 17 to 19 pesos per kilo,” the senator said.“The NFA has been unable to support all local farmers desperate for aid, especially when rice smuggling forced them to sell their harvests below the cost of production,” she added.

LOOC Barangay Captain Raul Cabahug announced on Thursday, March 14, 2024, that the Mandaue City government will not allow the Sitio Under the Bridge residents to rebuild their homes in the fire-affected area.More than 500 families were displaced by the fire that hit the sitio on Tuesday, March 12.Cabahug said the City Government has decided to reblock and construct a temporary housing site to relocate the displaced fire victims. Reblocking involves increasing the distance between houses to prevent the spread of fire and enable emergency responders to access the site.The relocation site will still be in Barangay Looc. It will be beside the University of Cebu Lapu-Lapu Mandaue Campus (UCLM), along the road leading to Barangay Opao called Sitio Riverside.Cabahug earlier said Sitio Under the Bridge is located on a nationally owned property in an area considered a danger zone.“Aduna na ma’y panghitabo nga wala g’yud nato damha. Mao na nga atong ikuan nga di na sad ni sila mabalik, para di mausab ning maong panghitabo. Pung pa sa mayor nga mura ta’g sirang plaka puhon na sad magtukod under the bridge. Wala ta kahibaw unsay mahitabo,” said Cabahug.(We did not anticipate this fire, which is why we need to ensure that those affected do not return to the area to prevent a similar incident from happening again. As Mayor Jonas Cortes described it, this situation will be like a broken record if we let them build again under the bridge. We cannot predict what will happen next.)Barangay hall movingCabahug also announced the intention to relocate the Looc Barangay Hall. He said this move is crucial due to the need to designate the area, including Sitio Under the Bridge, as a “no build zone.” These areas are designated as easement areas due to safety concerns and are not recommended for human habitation.Temporary evacuationsThe fire victims are temporarily sheltered at Looc Gymnasium and Cesar Cabahug Elementary School located beside the gym.The elementary school suspended classes temporarily to facilitate the evacuation of fire victims. But Cabahug mentioned that they will have a coordination meeting on it to avoid disrupting the students’ classes for a long time.The fire victims currently occupy all 26 classrooms of the school. Necessities Cabahug is calling for food donations, particularly canned goods and instant noodles.He said this is to help the fire victims save their financial assistance for rebuilding their homes.Cabahug is also urging donations of bed sheets and mattresses, as most victims are sleeping on native hand-woven mats.Juanito Cantero, Department of Social Welfare and Development Central Visayas (DSWD 7) assistant regional director, said they distributed 530 family food packs per family under the representation of Ako Bisaya Partylist Rep. Sonny Lagon through DSWD’s Assistance to Individuals In Crisis Situations (AICS) program on Thursday.Each food pack contains six kilos of rice, five canned goods, five sardine cans, cereals and coffee, which would last three days, depending on the number of members per family.He said the Office of the Presidential Assistant for the Visayas has already communicated with them about distributing a second batch of food packs.According to Cantero, Mandaue Mayor Jonas Cortes informed him on Wednesday that he has already sought assistance from some senators through AICS.On Thursday, the Mandaue City Social Welfare Services reported through its final validation that 515 families, or a total of 1,677 individuals, had been displaced by the fire that occurred on March 12.Out of the 370 affected houses, only 13 were partially burned while the rest, 357, were completely burned, according to the report.The victims included 370 house owners and 145 renters or sharers. As a result of the fire, the barangay council of Looc declared a state of calamity during a special session on Wednesday.The barangay will allocate approximately P600,000 from its quick response funds and tap into other barangay funds to provide food for the fire victims. / HIC licensed online casinos THE proposed Talisay-Minglanilla-Naga coastal road that seeks to alleviate the worsening southbound traffic along Natalio Bacalso Ave. is facing another setback due to budget constraints.Nonato Paylado, chief of the Planning and Design Division of the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) 7, said they do not have enough funds to conduct a feasibility study (FS).The Cebu Provincial Board (PB) summoned Paylado and other agency officials to appear during its regular session on Monday, March 11, 2024, for an update on proposed road projects in the province that also include the Mandaue-Consolacion-Liloan coastal road.Paylado said the General Appropriations Act of 2024 only allocated P1 million for the FS of the south coastal road.However, he said they require at least P18.6 million to be able to conduct one, adding that they first proposed the amount three years ago.In his presentation, the proposed coastal road is designed to be an alternative road for southbound motorists to bypass the “severely congested” Talisay-Minglanilla-Naga Road section of the national highway, especially during peak hours.The proposed road will traverse the foreshore areas of the cities of Naga and Talisay and the town of Minglanilla, starting from the southern tip of the South Road Properties (SRP) to Barangay Tuyan in City of Naga.“The main objective actually was really to decongest the very heavy traffic, heavily traveled N. Bacalso Ave., especially the Talisay-Minglanilla Road section,” Paylado said.It will also serve as a continuation of the proposed Cebu City South Blvd. (traversing the SRP near the pond) and the proposed Mambaling South Blvd.The project will be 15 kilometers long with an estimated cost of P7.8 billion for civil works and road right-of-way acquisition, Paylado said.With the latest setback, Paylado said the DPWH 7 is proposing through its central office the inclusion of the proposed P18.6 million FS budget in the 2025 annual budget.The FS and the detailed engineering design of the Cebu City South Blvd. and the Mambaling South Blvd. are due this year, but he did not say exactly when these will be completed.Paylado said the two road sections will serve as alternate roads to decongest traffic in the interior portion of Cebu City towards the back of the SRP.The DPWH 7 official said the south coastal road project can be implemented through a Public-Private-Partnership.Sixth District PB Member Glenn Anthony Soco, who invited the DPWH 7 officials, said he will study their presentation before issuing a resolution that will seek to expedite the project in the next round of discussions.He told the DPWH 7 to follow Ordinance 2023-05 that mandates all national government agencies to coordinate with the PB and the Provincial Government for the seamless implementation of projects.First proposalAn alternative road from the City of Naga to the SRP to decongest the national highway was floated in 2015 by the Provincial Development Council (PDC).The then PDC proposed the opening of the old Philippine National Railways routes that ran parallel to N. Bacalso Ave.In 2017, then Minglanilla Mayor Elanito Peña proposed anew the coastal bypass road with an estimated project cost of P16 billion, to be funded by the National Government.It was slated to traverse the coastal villages of Tungkop, Tulay, Calajoan, and Tungkil in Minglanilla.However, there is no update regarding the proposal.In July 2022, Leonard Abao of DPWH met with incumbent Minglanilla Mayor Rajiv Enad to discuss the construction of a coastal road.“We will explore alternative routes and establish diversion roads with the help of our congressman (First District Rep. Rhea Gullas), in order to ease the volume of road users on the national highway,” Enad said in a statement posted on the the town’s official social media page on July 4, 2022. / EHP
