CEBU and 10 other provinces in Visayas are feeling the effects of the ongoing El Niño phenomenon, according to the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) Visayas.As of January 2024, 10 of the 11 provinces were experiencing dry conditions, with only one province undergoing a dry spell, said Pagasa Visayas Chief Alfredo “Al” Quiblat Jr.Areas under dry conditions included Cebu and Negros Oriental in Central Visayas; Antique, Capiz, Guimaras, and Iloilo in Western Visayas; and Biliran, Eastern Samar, Leyte, and Samar in Eastern Visayas.Negros Occidental in Western Visayas was the only province experiencing a dry spell.Visayas comprises three regions: Western Visayas (six provinces), Central Visayas (four provinces), and Eastern Visayas (six provinces).According to Pagasa, El Niño leads to elevated sea-surface temperatures, influencing global weather patterns by causing shifts in precipitation, temperature, and atmospheric circulation, ultimately resulting in reduced rainfall. Reports suggest that decreased rainfall in provinces can devastate agriculture, leading to crop failures and economic losses due to water scarcity for irrigation.Quiblat predicted on Wednesday, Feb. 15, that the ongoing phenomenon will persist throughout this month and extend into May.ExplanationQuiblat explained that a place is categorized as having a dry condition if it experiences below-normal rainfall for two consecutive months. A dry spell is characterized by three successive months of below-normal rainfall.“This is the actual record we have based on the actual recorded rainfall measured,” Quiblat said in Cebuano.The good news, though, is that there is no province in Visayas that is experiencing drought, according to Quiblat.Drought occurs when there is an extended dry condition, marked by either five consecutive months of below-normal rainfall or three consecutive months of way below-normal rainfall.Pagasa Visayas did not provide the specific measurement of rainfall in the 11 provinces.Quiblat said that more provinces will be affected by the ongoing El Niño phenomenon at the end of the month, adding that the status of the 10 provinces under dry conditions will be upgraded to a dry spell, while Negros Occidental will be under drought.The Pagasa Visayas chief further said three new provinces will be classified, including Bohol and Siquijor in Central Visayas, and Southern Leyte in Eastern Visayas, under dry conditions.AgricultureKeith Monteroso, overseeing the project monitoring of the National Irrigation Administration in Cebu, said last Jan. 30 that they have identified non-vulnerable areas for optimizing water resources.“As part of our measures, we have identified vulnerable areas. We assume zero rainfall, so we have targeted areas where crops will not be planted to mitigate potential damages,” he said.He did not divulge the specifics of these areas prone to the threat of El Niño; however, he said that in 12,000 hectares of farming land in the region, almost half of it, or 6,500 hectares, were not allowed to be used for planting.Monteroso added that they have advised farmers to adjust their cropping calendars. Typically, the dry and wet seasons start in May and November, respectively. However, due to the threat of El Niño, they have adjusted to February and September as the start of these seasons.He said there have not been any significant crop damages in Central Visayas.To aid farmers whose land was not utilized in farming, Monteroso said they enrolled the farmers in different programs of other government agencies, including the Department of Labor and Employment, for cash-for-work programs.Meanwhile, in response to the impacts of El Niño, the Department of Agriculture (DA) 7 has ramped up its annual budget for 2024 to P2.7 billion, marking a 28.5 percent increase from last year’s P2.1 billion allocation.Leo Pelletero, a project evaluation officer at DA 7, said that besides addressing the repercussions of the climatic phenomenon, the augmented budget aims to enhance agricultural production output in the region.Cobra sightingsShelbay Blanco of the Department of Health 7 health emergency management services said that the ongoing El Niño has resulted in a surge in the number of snake sightings, particularly of the king cobra, locally called banakon in Cebu.Earlier, he said that cobras, due to their heightened sensitivity to temperature variations, might venture beyond their typical habitats during periods of increased heat.He added that extreme warmth may prompt these cold-blooded snakes to seek out alternative environments with cooler or more favorable temperatures.

Philippines FOR A local antique dealer in Cebu City, religious items and antiques should belong to churches, claiming that religious items offered and displayed in antique shops are often stolen artifacts.Raphael Ojales, co-owner of Raphael’s Antiques, an antique store that opened in the 1990s located in Barangay Kamputhaw, said his shop avoids acquiring and selling religious items because of the sensitive nature of the items. He also believes that religious items should be in churches.“I really don’t deal with or focus on church (antiques). It’s a really sensitive topic,” said Ojales in an interview with SunStar Cebu on Monday, March 4, 2024.Ojales acknowledged the recent issue surrounding the ownership of the pulpit panels of the Archdiocesan Shrine of the Nuestra Señora Patrocinio de Maria Santisima in Boljoon, Cebu, and says this is among the reasons he avoids acquiring and selling religious items. After decades of being missing since these were reported stolen in the 1980s, the four wooden panels that belong to the Archdiocesan Shrine of the Nuestra Señora Patrocinio de Maria Santisima in Boljoon, Cebu resurfaced on Feb. 14, 2024.These resurfaced after being donated by a private collector to the National Museum of the Philippines (NMP). The town of Boljoon has urged the NMP to return the four pulpit panels to reclaim a significant part of its cultural and religious heritage. The NMP, for its part, said the panels are “legitimately procured.”Ojales added that there is a possibility that there are people within the church who could be tempted to take a religious item.“Well, it’s clear naman for church items kinawat g’yud na (were stolen). I mean they’re made exclu­sively for the church,” said Ojales.Ojales said he was advised by his father to deal only with vintage furniture and other items, instead of religious items.Raphael’s Antiques is a shop that was originally located on General Maxilom Avenue but closed in 2014 when Ojales’ mother got sick. The antique shop reopened in 2020 and has been moved to its current location. The shop curates vintage items such as furniture, lamps and other household decorations.Ojales said they acquire antique pieces by traveling and visiting ancestral homes of people and inquiring about vintage pieces that are available for sale or having canvassers in other areas inquire for them. He said he has canvassers in other municipalities in Cebu, such as Balamban and areas outside the province like Bohol.Ojales said when it comes to items like furniture and other pieces, authentications are not often necessary because they are obtained from individuals who are elderly and are genuinely from older eras. However, art pieces, particularly those with signatures, require authentication through a certificate of authenticity. / RJM

THE Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) 7 is waiting for the results of the geodetic investigation to determine the status of the soil on portions of Segment 3 of the Metro Cebu Expressway (MCE) project.DPWH 7 Director Ernesto Gregorio Jr. said they were forced to halt construction when landslides occurred in Barangays Inayagan and Cantao-an in the City of Naga that are traversed by Segment 3A of the project last October.“We are already in the process of formulating permanent countermeasures through the utilization of a private geotechnical firm. There is this high-tech soil interpretation on the underlying soil strata,” Gregorio said during the 2024 First Quarter Meeting of the Infrastructure Development Committee (IDC) of the Regional Development Council 7 on Thursday, Feb. 15, 2024.The result of the soil investigation will be used to formulate permanent countermeasures that will address the risk of ground movement, he said.“Once you have enough data sa (on the) underlying soil strata, you will be able to analyze what caused this movement and such and what the probable solutions should be established,” he said.He said the agency is slated to receive the result of the soil investigation study next week.Gregorio said the affected road section has been closed for safety concerns.According to the DPWH website, Segment 3A, which has a length of 4.2 kilometers, is 90.03 percent finished.Residents in the vicinity of the landslide were already evacuated and relocated. They also received financial assistance from the City of Naga Government, he said.An alternative route or detour was recently opened and has been operational to allow residents from other areas not affected by the ground slip to access the expressway.The DPWH 7 official said they have undertaken “remedial measures” since the last quarter of 2023 to address the risk of ground slippage.This included the excavation of a massive deposit of soil in the area that poses a safety hazard, he said, adding that it was done slowly and meticulously for the safety of their workers.“It has been observed that the ground movement has slowed down. That is a positive development,” Gregorio said in a mix of Cebuano and English.Civil works on Segment 3A of the MCE started in Barangay Pangdan in the City of Naga in March 2019. It was slated to be finished before the end of then President Rodrigo Duterte’s term, only to be delayed by budget constraints. During Thursday’s meeting, IDC chairman Kenneth Cobunpue approved the endorsement of several DPWH 7’s Programs and Projects (PAPs) under the Regional Development Investment Program for funding in Fiscal Year 2025. Among the PAPs were the MCE (Segment 3A); New Mactan-Cebu 4th Bridge and Coastal Road Construction Project; the Panglao-Tagbilaran City Offshore Bridge Connector Project; and the Asset Preservation: Rehabilitation/ Reconstruction of Roads with Slips, Slope Collapse, and Landslide. The MCE spans 56.94 kilometers and consists of three segments. Segments 1, 2, and 3A are funded by the government, while Segment 3B is slated to be a public-private partnership.After completion, the project will act as a major north-south transportation route, connecting the City of Naga in the south to Danao City in the north, passing through the mountain ranges of Cebu.The project aims to significantly reduce traffic congestion in Metro Cebu by providing an uninterrupted traffic flow.

He also believes that religious items should be in churches.“I really don’t deal with or focus on church (antiques). It’s a really sensitive topic,” said Ojales in an interview with SunStar Cebu on Monday, March 4, 2024.Ojales acknowledged the recent issue surrounding the ownership of the pulpit panels of the Archdiocesan Shrine of the Nuestra Señora Patrocinio de Maria Santisima in Boljoon, Cebu, and says this is among the reasons he avoids acquiring and selling religious items. After decades of being missing since these were reported stolen in the 1980s, the four wooden panels that belong to the Archdiocesan Shrine of the Nuestra Señora Patrocinio de Maria Santisima in Boljoon, Cebu resurfaced on Feb. 14, 2024.These resurfaced after being donated by a private collector to the National Museum of the Philippines (NMP). The town of Boljoon has urged the NMP to return the four pulpit panels to reclaim a significant part of its cultural and religious heritage. The NMP, for its part, said the panels are “legitimately procured.”Ojales added that there is a possibility that there are people within the church who could be tempted to take a religious item.“Well, it’s clear naman for church items kinawat g’yud na (were stolen). I mean they’re made exclu­sively for the church,” said Ojales.Ojales said he was advised by his father to deal only with vintage furniture and other items, instead of religious items.Raphael’s Antiques is a shop that was originally located on General Maxilom Avenue but closed in 2014 when Ojales’ mother got sick. The antique shop reopened in 2020 and has been moved to its current location. The shop curates vintage items such as furniture, lamps and other household decorations.Ojales said they acquire antique pieces by traveling and visiting ancestral homes of people and inquiring about vintage pieces that are available for sale or having canvassers in other areas inquire for them. He said he has canvassers in other municipalities in Cebu, such as Balamban and areas outside the province like Bohol.Ojales said when it comes to items like furniture and other pieces, authentications are not often necessary because they are obtained from individuals who are elderly and are genuinely from older eras. However, art pieces, particularly those with signatures, require authentication through a certificate of authenticity. / RJM licensed online casinos THE Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) 7 is waiting for the results of the geodetic investigation to determine the status of the soil on portions of Segment 3 of the Metro Cebu Expressway (MCE) project.DPWH 7 Director Ernesto Gregorio Jr. said they were forced to halt construction when landslides occurred in Barangays Inayagan and Cantao-an in the City of Naga that are traversed by Segment 3A of the project last October.“We are already in the process of formulating permanent countermeasures through the utilization of a private geotechnical firm. There is this high-tech soil interpretation on the underlying soil strata,” Gregorio said during the 2024 First Quarter Meeting of the Infrastructure Development Committee (IDC) of the Regional Development Council 7 on Thursday, Feb. 15, 2024.The result of the soil investigation will be used to formulate permanent countermeasures that will address the risk of ground movement, he said.“Once you have enough data sa (on the) underlying soil strata, you will be able to analyze what caused this movement and such and what the probable solutions should be established,” he said.He said the agency is slated to receive the result of the soil investigation study next week.Gregorio said the affected road section has been closed for safety concerns.According to the DPWH website, Segment 3A, which has a length of 4.2 kilometers, is 90.03 percent finished.Residents in the vicinity of the landslide were already evacuated and relocated. They also received financial assistance from the City of Naga Government, he said.An alternative route or detour was recently opened and has been operational to allow residents from other areas not affected by the ground slip to access the expressway.The DPWH 7 official said they have undertaken “remedial measures” since the last quarter of 2023 to address the risk of ground slippage.This included the excavation of a massive deposit of soil in the area that poses a safety hazard, he said, adding that it was done slowly and meticulously for the safety of their workers.“It has been observed that the ground movement has slowed down. That is a positive development,” Gregorio said in a mix of Cebuano and English.Civil works on Segment 3A of the MCE started in Barangay Pangdan in the City of Naga in March 2019. It was slated to be finished before the end of then President Rodrigo Duterte’s term, only to be delayed by budget constraints. During Thursday’s meeting, IDC chairman Kenneth Cobunpue approved the endorsement of several DPWH 7’s Programs and Projects (PAPs) under the Regional Development Investment Program for funding in Fiscal Year 2025. Among the PAPs were the MCE (Segment 3A); New Mactan-Cebu 4th Bridge and Coastal Road Construction Project; the Panglao-Tagbilaran City Offshore Bridge Connector Project; and the Asset Preservation: Rehabilitation/ Reconstruction of Roads with Slips, Slope Collapse, and Landslide. The MCE spans 56.94 kilometers and consists of three segments. Segments 1, 2, and 3A are funded by the government, while Segment 3B is slated to be a public-private partnership.After completion, the project will act as a major north-south transportation route, connecting the City of Naga in the south to Danao City in the north, passing through the mountain ranges of Cebu.The project aims to significantly reduce traffic congestion in Metro Cebu by providing an uninterrupted traffic flow.
