CEBU City Mayor Michael Rama has urged the Cebu Provincial Government officials to stop meddling in the Cebu City's Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) project.This came after the Cebu Provincial Board (PB) approved a resolution calling for the stoppage of BRT construction during its regular session on Monday, March 4, 2024.PB wants CBRT project haltedRama, according to Cebu City PIO on Tuesday, March 5, asked the Capitol officials "to show due courtesy" to the City and that they should focus on problems within their territorial jurisdiction.“Kung dili mo moundang sa panghilabot, ang ending ana gubot (If you don't stop interfering, the ending will be messy),” said Rama.The PB adopted the resolution pushed by Sixth District Board Member Glenn Soco, Fifth District Board Member and committee on infrastructure and public works chairman Red Duterte, and Third District Board Member John Ismael Borgonia, recommending the stoppage of the CBRT in Cebu City "due to its contribution to the worsening traffic condition, thereby causing great inconvenience to the people of Cebu and causing negative economic effects to the entire people of Cebu."In his privilege speech, Soco questioned CBRT's feasibility due to the proponent’s failure to provide details on the operation of the mass transport system project, such as the type of buses to use, who will be the operator, and the potential fare.Imbong remains as CBRT project manager, says DOTrDuterte, who also chairs the tourism committee, said he received reports and concerns that tourists on their way to the south experienced heavy traffic due to the CBRT project, which runs through two major thoroughfares.Borgonia said they are in unison with the recent call of the Cebu City Council to suspend the CBRT project. But Borgonia’s question as to “why now” (why only a year after the groundbreaking did the council object to the project) remains addressed to the Cebu City Council.Last February 27, Cebu Governor Gwendolyn Garcia also issued Memorandum 16-2024 ordering the contractor, Hunan Road and Bridge Construction Group Ltd., to immediately stop the construction of the bus station in front of the Capitol building along Osmeña Blvd.Garcia, in the memorandum, said the project’s proponents lacked the necessary authorization from the National Historical Commission of the Philippines (NHCP).The governor's call was also echoed by his nephew, Cebu City Vice Mayor Raymond Alvin Garcia, through a privilege speech he delivered last February 28, requesting the Office of the Building Official to issue a cease and desist order against Hunan Road and Bridge Construction Group Ltd. for its building of bus stations on Osmeña Blvd., for the threat it posed on the integrity of the city’s heritage and culture.Rama said he has no problem with the PB members' resolutions, but he wonders how the provincial officials would feel if he closes the roads leading to the Capitol.“Iyahay lang ta’g tan-aw sa atong porma. Pero, usahay, kanang gahum mosu’d na gani sa atong utok, wala na ang maayong pagpamatasan,” said Rama. (JJL) Is online gambling legal in Philippines? Philippines THE Archdiocese of Cebu has joined the calls for the return of the “stolen” religious panels of Nuestra Señora del Patrocinio de Maria Santisima Parish Church in Boljoon town that were donated to the National Museum of the Philippines (NMP) on Wednesday, Feb. 14, 2024.Cebu Archbishop Jose Palma, in a statement Tuesday, Feb. 20, said there is no official record of any request for approval to deconsecrate the panels for removal. Removing a religious icon is a violation under the Canon Law, which stipulates the duty of administrators to safeguard church goods.Palma stopped short of saying that the panels were stolen; however, he said these were taken without permission from archdiocese’s head at the time, which was his predecessor, Ricardo Cardinal Vidal.“Their illegal removal constitutes a sacrilege,” he said.In an interview with the media on Tuesday, Palma affirmed that the panels should return to their origin in Boljoon church, and they should be placed back to the pulpit where they once belonged.The NMP received the panels depicting St. Augustine of Hippo from Edwin Bautista, chief executive officer of Union Bank. The panels, which were reported stolen from Boljoon church’s pulpit in the 1980s and had been missing since then, were recently turned over to the museum as “a gift to the nation.” A pulpit is a raised platform near the front where the clergy stand to talk to everyone during church services. It’s been used for a long time before the sound system became popular to help people hear the priest better.Resolutions On Monday, Feb. 19, the Cebu Provincial Board and the Boljoon Municipal Council issued separate resolutions urging the NMP to return the four stolen pulpit panels to the Archdiocesan Shrine of the Nuestra Señora Patrocinio de Maria Santisima.Palma said he understands the NMP’s desire to exhibit the panels to the general public; however, he said “we have to assert the sacred nature of these panels.”The church leader added that the panels shouldn’t have been treated merely as artworks for museum display or private collector appreciation but rather as tools of evangelization.He said the Archdiocese of Cebu is open to a constructive dialogue with the NMP and other parties concerned.Reports said that the panels were lost in January 1988 during the time of parish priest Rev. Fr. Faustino Cortes.Historian Jose Eleazar “Jobers” Bersales, Capitol consultant on museums and heritage, believes that the panels were also built in the same year the iconic religious landmark was erected in 1783.Bersales said there were accusations that a priest had been involved in the theft of the panels; however, he pointed out that it is the responsibility of the church to explain how the panels went missing.Thief’s identityAsked about whether the archdiocese will exert effort to identify the thief, Palma said they would have a hard time finding the culprit behind the missing panels because the incident occurred a long time ago and remained unresolved even during Vidal’s tenure. Palma replaced Vidal, who had served as archbishop of Cebu from 1982 until his retirement in 2010. Vidal died on Oct. 18, 2017 at age 86.The prelate said there are no documents to prove the panels were stolen, loaned, or removed under similar circumstances, but he is certain that no consent was given by the Archdiocese of Cebu during Vidal’s leadership.“Supposed to be the person responsible for that is the parish priest or pastor, but they are now dead. We do not want to dig their graves and ask them,” Palma said.Palma said that for now, he is grateful that the stolen panels have resurfaced after a long time. But he said that this should serve as a lesson to all, including members of the clergy, to always be extra careful in maintaining these cultural parts of the religion. Capitol’s interventionThe archbishop commended the efforts of others sectors, including Gov. Gwendolyn Garcia as the Cebu Provincial Government is also sending a formal letter to NMP, asking for the return of the panels, which the governor said are part of the Cebuano heritage.Garcia acknowledged Monday that there should be a division between the state and the church, however, the Capitol must address this issue because Boljoon church was recognized as a National Cultural Treasure by the NMP in 2001.She assured that there will be adequate security for the panels if they are brought back to Cebu. She emphasized that unlike in the 1980s, such matters were not a significant concern back then.The Boljoon Municipal Council issued Monday a resolution urging the national museum to return the four stolen pulpit panels.The resolution was sponsored by Councilor Eva Lowela Moraca and co-sponsored by all members of the council.

Palma replaced Vidal, who had served as archbishop of Cebu from 1982 until his retirement in 2010. Vidal died on Oct. 18, 2017 at age 86.The prelate said there are no documents to prove the panels were stolen, loaned, or removed under similar circumstances, but he is certain that no consent was given by the Archdiocese of Cebu during Vidal’s leadership.“Supposed to be the person responsible for that is the parish priest or pastor, but they are now dead. We do not want to dig their graves and ask them,” Palma said.Palma said that for now, he is grateful that the stolen panels have resurfaced after a long time. But he said that this should serve as a lesson to all, including members of the clergy, to always be extra careful in maintaining these cultural parts of the religion.

Gwendolyn Garcia as the Cebu Provincial Government is also sending a formal letter to NMP, asking for the return of the panels, which the governor said are part of the Cebuano heritage.Garcia acknowledged Monday that there should be a division between the state and the church, however, the Capitol must address this issue because Boljoon church was recognized as a National Cultural Treasure by the NMP in 2001.She assured that there will be adequate security for the panels if they are brought back to Cebu.
