YE7 PH -Is gambling a problem in the Philippines? - Philippines

THE Philippines and Cambodia have agreed to strengthen their rice trade as the former establishes its inventory amid the current El Niño phenomenon that may impact local palay production.President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. met on Monday, March 4, 2024, with Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet on the sidelines of the 50th Asean-Australia Special Summit in Melbourne.During the meeting, Marcos expressed the Philippines’ desire to engage Cambodia in trade in agriculture, specifically rice.“Some MOUs that have lapsed… we really need to look back and engage with in terms of trade in agriculture, rice specifically. When I visited you in Cambodia last time, that subject that we were talking about. We were preparing for this drought. It’s now happening,” Marcos told Hun.“It caught our attention. We really should look into it. Something that is necessary now. That’s the lesson learned from pandemic. We really have to be flexible in looking to our suppliers,” he added.While Marcos told the Cambodian leaders that the country is improving in terms of palay production, he said the country still needs to import to secure its rice inventory and one area to explore and strengthen is to improve its ties with other rice-producing countries like Cambodia.The two leaders also discussed connectivity during the bilateral meeting, particularly to boost their tourism industries, as well as trade and investment.“We now have flights, five times, Cambodia to NAIA, possibility to increasing destination… Cambodia to Cebu,” Hun told Marcos, adding Cambodia has just opened an airport in Siem Reap and will be opening another one in Phnom Penh next year.Marcos told his counterpart that the Philippine government has contracted a group to modernize and improve the efficiency of the Manila airport, which has been neglected for years, while it is also developing other regional airports closer to tourist spots to encourage tourists to come to the Philippines.“We are also encouraging flights to regional airports. I think that is what we keep hearing, low hanging fruit. I’m sure Filipinos will be interested. I count myself. I am interested to go in… travel in Cambodia,” the President said.“We have done little yet to explore. I fully agree. That’s for two countries, an advantage for us. I’m very much open for that. We will try to see, when I get back, which regional airports are ready to take international tourists and visitors. And I will be glad if we could increase the volume of exchange… tourism, travelers, and even business,” he added.As of February 29, the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC) said a total of 14,854.86 hectares of crop area were affected by the El Niño phenomenon, which may persist until the first quarter of 2024.The damage to infrastructure was estimated at P941,730,70.01.

In a letter addressed to Daluz and Donoso, Salonga announced the partial intervention of LWUA, which he said was authorized by Resolution 35, s. 2023 duly approved by the LWUA Board of Trustees in accordance with Presidential Decree 198, as amended. In line with this, Salonga announced the installation of LWUA officers Maria Rosan Perez, Noel Samonte and Anabelle Gravador to the interim board of MCWD, with LWUA deputy administrator Eileen dela Vega overseeing Friday’s installation.In a phone interview last Friday, Daluz confirmed the implementation of the takeover, saying the five board members—Daluz, Pato and Seno appointed by the late mayor Edgardo Labella, and Rama’s two appointees Ortiz and Bonachita would abide by LWUA’s decision.“We will abide by the order of the LWUA. I think that is for the best interest of the MCWD,” Daluz said.Daluz said the intervention also applied to Rama’s appointed board. / AML

In Central Visayas, there were 11,445 cases of early pregnancy among women aged 15 to 19 years old, and 241 cases among those under 15 years old. In 2021, there were 10,717 cases and 164 cases in these categories, respectively.In 2022, Cebu Province had the most teenage pregnancy cases in the region, with 5,106 cases. Negros Oriental followed with 2,364 cases, Bohol with 1,625 cases, and Cebu City with 1,504 cases. Lapu-Lapu City had 586 teenage pregnancies, Mandaue City had 475 cases, and Siguijor had 116 cases.Garillos said in an interview last Feb. 20, this trend emphasizes the immediate necessity for proactive measures to empower and educate adolescents on reproductive health and family planning.She said establishing local adolescents and teen centers is crucial for mitigating the factors contributing to teenage pregnancy.The centers will provide adolescents with comprehensive sexuality education, counseling services, and reproductive health information in safe spaces.Garillo added that government agencies, community organizations, and stakeholders must collaborate to empower adolescents with the necessary knowledge and resources for making informed decisions regarding their sexual and reproductive health.She emphasized that establishing these adolescents and teen centers in localities will ensure that youth, including those not attending school, receive proper sex education.“It needs to involve not just students but also local government units within communities,” she said. She added that these topics should also be addressed at home, emphasizing the importance of parents being aware of them to facilitate such discussions.Garillos linked the increase in teenage pregnancies to restricted access to health and family planning services, exacerbated by Covid-19 lockdowns. She added that the pandemic forced program shifts online, hindering mobility. Additionally, Garillos echoed concerns about gender-based violence, including child sexual abuse and rape, as underlying causes of early pregnancies.Last Feb. 7, Cebu City Councilor Jose Lorenzo Abellanosa proposed a resolution in the council, urging the City Government to establish a teenage counseling center or help desk to serve as a referral facility for teenage mothers and their babies.In his proposal, Abellanosa said CPD flagged two barangays in Cebu City as “areas of concern” due to their high teenage pregnancy rates.Last July, SunStar Cebu reported that barangays Mambaling and Inayawan in the south district of Cebu City recorded the highest number of teenage pregnancies in Central Visayas, logging at least 85 cases in each barangay in 2022. / KJF

In Central Visayas, there were 11,445 cases of early pregnancy among women aged 15 to 19 years old, and 241 cases among those under 15 years old. In 2021, there were 10,717 cases and 164 cases in these categories, respectively.In 2022, Cebu Province had the most teenage pregnancy cases in the region, with 5,106 cases. Negros Oriental followed with 2,364 cases, Bohol with 1,625 cases, and Cebu City with 1,504 cases. Lapu-Lapu City had 586 teenage pregnancies, Mandaue City had 475 cases, and Siguijor had 116 cases.Garillos said in an interview last Feb. 20, this trend emphasizes the immediate necessity for proactive measures to empower and educate adolescents on reproductive health and family planning.She said establishing local adolescents and teen centers is crucial for mitigating the factors contributing to teenage pregnancy.The centers will provide adolescents with comprehensive sexuality education, counseling services, and reproductive health information in safe spaces.Garillo added that government agencies, community organizations, and stakeholders must collaborate to empower adolescents with the necessary knowledge and resources for making informed decisions regarding their sexual and reproductive health.She emphasized that establishing these adolescents and teen centers in localities will ensure that youth, including those not attending school, receive proper sex education.“It needs to involve not just students but also local government units within communities,” she said. She added that these topics should also be addressed at home, emphasizing the importance of parents being aware of them to facilitate such discussions.Garillos linked the increase in teenage pregnancies to restricted access to health and family planning services, exacerbated by Covid-19 lockdowns. She added that the pandemic forced program shifts online, hindering mobility. Additionally, Garillos echoed concerns about gender-based violence, including child sexual abuse and rape, as underlying causes of early pregnancies.Last Feb. 7, Cebu City Councilor Jose Lorenzo Abellanosa proposed a resolution in the council, urging the City Government to establish a teenage counseling center or help desk to serve as a referral facility for teenage mothers and their babies.In his proposal, Abellanosa said CPD flagged two barangays in Cebu City as “areas of concern” due to their high teenage pregnancy rates.Last July, SunStar Cebu reported that barangays Mambaling and Inayawan in the south district of Cebu City recorded the highest number of teenage pregnancies in Central Visayas, logging at least 85 cases in each barangay in 2022. / KJF

THE Metropolitan Cebu Water District (MCWD) will maintain the status quo with regard to its board of directors (BOD).In a letter addressed to Local Water Utilities Administration (LWUA) Administrator Jose Moises Salonga dated Monday, March 18, 2024, MCWD general manager Edgar Donoso said they had asked for an opinion from the Office of the Government Corporate Counsel (OGCC) on Salonga’s appointment last Friday of an interim board to take over the policy-making body of the MCWD for the next six months.Pending the OGCC’s response, Donoso said they would recognize the board led by chairman Jose Daluz III to ensure a “continuous and unhampered delivery of public service.”“In view of this, and for the time being, we therefore cannot yet acknowledge LWUA’s authority on this intervention/takeover and appointment of an interim board of directors,” Donoso’s letter to Salonga read.Signing the letter to show their “conformity” were the presidents of the Association of MCWD Managers, Christine Caballes; MCWD Supervisors Association, Joseph Caballes; MCWD Employees Union, Samuel Suson; and Non-Regular Manpower Resources Association, Daniel Lim.Last Friday, however, Daluz said he would abide by LWUA’s takeover order.In a statement released on Monday, Donoso also assured all consumers and stakeholders that despite the circumstances, MCWD operations would continue as usual. “There will be no disruptions in the delivery of water services to our community. We are fully committed to prioritizing the needs of our consumers, and our efforts to mitigate the impacts of the El Niño phenomenon will persist,” he said.SurprisedMeanwhile, Cebu City Mayor Michael Rama said he was surprised by LWUA’s latest action and insisted on his own appointees remaining in their positions.“Their (LWUA) coming in, that’s not the way I want it. I’ll have a meeting with my MCWD on Saturday evening, and they’ll know what they ought to do. So I wish when I come back things are already (coming) and there is no such thing as supremacy,” Rama said on Monday.The mayor refused to comment on whether LWUA’s intervention would affect his appointed board.Rama reiterated that he has the authority to appoint the members of the MCWD board.“My MCWD appointment should stay,” he said.Last Oct. 31, Mayor Rama appointed Melquiades Feliciano, Aristotle Batuhan and Nelson Yuvallos to replace Daluz, Miguelito Pato and Jodelyn May Seno.Existing board members Danilo Ortiz and Earl Bonachita supported Rama’s appointment of the three new members.The mayor said City Hall was tired of waiting for LWUA to act on their request to issue a “certificate of no objection” to the termination of Daluz, Pato and Seno’s services last August.TakeoverLWUA implemented the takeover of the MCWD board last March 15, for a period of six months. In a letter addressed to Daluz and Donoso, Salonga announced the partial intervention of LWUA, which he said was authorized by Resolution 35, s. 2023 duly approved by the LWUA Board of Trustees in accordance with Presidential Decree 198, as amended.
