CONSUMERS are urged to conserve water as production at Metropolitan Cebu Water District’s (MCWD) surface water facility reaches critical level, losing at least 29,000 cubic meters per day (CMD) due to the ongoing dry spell caused by El Niño.That’s 4,000 CMD more than what the water district reported last March 5, 2024.In a press conference held at the MCWD’s surface water facility in Barangay Jaclupan in Talisay City on Wednesday, March 13, MCWD chairman Jose Daluz III said the water district faces a water production deficit, affections portions of the cities of Cebu, Mandaue, Lapu-Lapu and Talisay.Daluz said the reductions have occurred across various surface water facilities.In Jaclupan and in the mountain barangay of Lusaran, Cebu City, production has dropped from 30,000 CMD to 20,000 CMD, while production at the Buhisan Dam has fallen to 4,000 CMD from 6,000 CMD.Under normal circumstances, MCWD produces 301,000 CMD, but production is down to 272,000 CMD.Daluz said as part of MCWD’s intervention, they are delivering water to upland areas that are experiencing intermittent water supply.MCWD general manager Edgar Donoso urged the directly affected consumers to conserve water due to the limited supply.Donoso said the production deficit has affected a total of 35,000 households from all service areas.MCWD provides water to the cities of Cebu, Mandaue, Lapu-Lapu and Talisay, and the towns of Cordova, Consolacion, Liloan and Compostela.Donoso said the impact of the El Niño extends beyond surface water to include groundwater, although the effects on groundwater are unnoticeable.Meanwhile, Daluz also associated MCWD’s challenges to the non-issuance of excavation permits, which they need for the sourcing and distribution of line projects and leak repairs.Edgar Ortega, MCWD assistant general manager for operation, said that despite the dry spell, the water district does not need to ration water in affected areas.Ortega said they have eight tankers that will be used to deliver water in areas where the water cannot reach due to low pressure.He said they currently deliver water to Barangay Lagtang, Maghaway and Pooc in Talisay City; Sitios Maracas and Sudlon in Barangay Lahug and Sitio Banawa in Barangay Guadalupe in Cebu City; and Barangays Cabancalan, Maguikay and Umapad in Mandaue City.In an interview with “Beyond the Headlines,” SunStar Cebu’s online news and commentary program, on Tuesday, March 12, MCWD spokesperson Minerva Gerodias said they expect the delivery of 30,000 CMD of desalinated water from three sources starting in April.“That is why we are hoping additional water sources, those desalinated water projects, can provide initial deliveries next month,” she said.She said the supply will come from the desalination plants in Barangay Opao, Mandaue City, Barangay Mambaling Cebu City, and Cordova town on Mactan Island.She clarified that these are only initial deliveries since the plants in Barangays Mambaling and Opao can each produce 25,000 cubic meters when fully functional, while the plant in Cordova can produce 20,000 cubic meters.“But, hopefully, these initial deliveries are already of big help,” she said.Gerodias said the additional 30,000 CMD will be just enough to augment the water shortage of 29,000 CMD.MCWD is currently “balancing the distribution,” meaning areas with complete water service share their water with areas experiencing intermittent or no water.“Our production department will do something about it so that we can at least balance our available supply. For example, those who are receiving full 24-hour service, will now have 22 or 20 hours instead. So the other supply will be given to the less,” she said.Gerodias said water tankers are on standby to provide aid to areas that do not have any water supply.Unlike in the past, she said they will not ask residents to form lines to receive water. Instead, they will directly inject the water from the tankers into the distribution lines for safety reasons, she said.This method will ensure that the distribution of water is accurately accounted for, she said. If water is manually distributed, it cannot be metered, which results in non-revenue water.Gerodias said they are taking this step to ensure the water supply is not interrupted, but the water pressure may be reduced.Gerodias is urging the public to conserve water and to avoid wastage. She emphasized the need for everyone to practice water-saving measures so there will be enough supply to cater to all consumers.Although they cannot shut down carwashes, Gerodias appealed to these establishments to reduce their water pressure to avoid unnecessary wastage.“We encourage prudent use of water. I think it is our responsibility, not only during the El Niño but every day... We hope the public to responsibly use the water, particularly that we are short on supply,” she said.Alfredo Quiblat Jr., chief of Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (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 warns that the phenomenon may persist until the end of May. / AML, KJF Play Online Baccarat For Real Money Philippines

Legal na Operator ng Paghuhusga sa Pilipinas THE National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA) has asked the proponent of the Cebu Bus Rapid Transit (CBRT) project to secure its approval first before resuming civil works on Capitol-owned lots. Chairman Victorino Manalo, in a letter addressed to the Department of Transportation (DOTr) dated Monday, March 25, 2024, requested Transportation Undersecretary Anneli Lontoc to submit two documents for the NCCA’s assessment and approval. The letter was posted on the official social media page of the Cebu Provincial Government on Wednesday, March 27. In the letter, Manalo asked Lontoc to submit an Archeological Impact Assessment (AIA) and development plans for the project to ensure that the CBRT complies with the National Cultural Heritage Act of 2009, or Republic Act 10066, and the General Appropriations Act (GAA). The AIA is required by Section 30(d) of RA 10066 and the Environmental Management Bureau of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources Memorandum Circular 005, series of 2014. The project’s development plan includes mitigation activities to protect the sight line with regard to built heritage, as required under Section 37 of the general provisions of the GAA. “In the meantime, we enjoin the DOTr not to conduct any work or changes in the area, especially excavation works, until we approve your AlA and development plans,” Manalo said. The Provincial Government met with NCCA officials recently to formally express concerns over the potential impact of the CBRT on the visual sight lines and buffer zones of the Cebu Capitol building. Meanwhile, CBRT implementers have started complying with the NCCA requirements. CBRT project manager Norvin Imbong, in a text message to SunStar Cebu on Wednesday, said the DOTr has coordinated with the University of San Carlos (USC) to help formulate the AIA. However, they will find out only on Monday, April 1, if USC can assist them, he said. Joint meetingImbong said their team will also have a joint meeting with the NCCA and the Philippine Historical Commission on Tuesday, April 2, at the Metropolitan Theater in Manila to discuss the matter. He said he will know by then if there are other requirements they need to comply with.Rama’s clarificationIn a statement on Wednesday, Cebu City Mayor Michael Rama reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to preserving heritage sites, while emphasizing the positive impact of the CBRT project.Rama said he had to say this so “neighbors, especially the politicians, will fully understand.”The mayor said he already raised the Capitol’s concern in a meeting with DOTr officials in Manila and the financing agencies, World Bank and French Development Agency. He also clarified that filing the complaint against Gov. Gwendolyn Garcia before the Office of the President had nothing to do with her stance to protect the Capitol building and its buffer zone. It was because of her “meddling” in suspending CBRT construction on Capitol-owned lots, he said.“We agree that we must protect the Capitol. There is no dispute there. The issue is the governor’s meddling, ordering the suspension of the CBRT. She has no right to do so. This is the reason why we have brought the issue to President (Ferdinand) Marcos (Jr.),” Rama said. Rama said the government is only striving to provide the public with “spacious, comfortable and safe transportation” through the BRT.Last February, the governor issued a cease and desist order (CDO) to the contractor of the first package of the CBRT project and directed it to cease civil works on a bus station with a leaf-like structure in front of the Capitol building along Osmeña Blvd. Rama responded by filing a complaint against Garcia before the Office of the President over her “meddling” in the CBRT project. Rama asked the President to “discipline and suspend Governor Garcia.”DelaysLast Monday, March 25, Imbong said they continued to work on other parts of the CBRT despite the governor’s CDO, which applies only to civil works on Capitol property. However, he said the CDO would probably delay the project anew, adding that the first package may not be operational in July as committed earlier. The CBRT project has been marred by several delays since its targeted implementation in 2016. It was only on Feb. 24, 2023 that President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. finally led its groundbreaking ceremony. The DOTr also moved the completion date of the project from 2025 to 2027 due to design changes. A priority project of the Marcos Jr. administration, the CBRT has a budget allocation of P28.78 billion funded through a loan package from the World Bank and French Development Agency with the National Government. Package 1 of the CBRT covers a distance of 2.38 kilometers from the Cebu South Bus Terminal along N. Bacalso Ave. to the front of the Capitol building along Osmeña Blvd. Interviewed on Wednesday at the Cebu South Bus Terminal (CSBT), Governor Garcia urged the CBRT proponent to expedite civil works in front of the bus terminal. Garcia said the project has already inconvenienced southern commuters. “Mayta mahuman na nang pagkubkob sa CBRT (I hope they will finish the excavation for the CBRT). Hinay kaayo ang turnaround sa atong mga buses (The turnaround of our buses has been really slow) and it affects the waiting time of our passengers,” she said. Garcia said they are thinking of transferring the CSBT to the Talisay City side of the Cebu South Coastal Road and converting the facility into an integrated multi-modal bus and ferry terminal that can also accommodate jeepneys and taxis. However, she said the Province is waiting for a private firm to submit an unsolicited proposal to build the facility. / EHP, JJL

If water is manually distributed, it cannot be metered, which results in non-revenue water.Gerodias said they are taking this step to ensure the water supply is not interrupted, but the water pressure may be reduced.Gerodias is urging the public to conserve water and to avoid wastage. She emphasized the need for everyone to practice water-saving measures so there will be enough supply to cater to all consumers.Although they cannot shut down carwashes, Gerodias appealed to these establishments to reduce their water pressure to avoid unnecessary wastage.“We encourage prudent use of water. I think it is our responsibility, not only during the El Niño but every day... We hope the public to responsibly use the water, particularly that we are short on supply,” she said.Alfredo Quiblat Jr., chief of Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (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 warns that the phenomenon may persist until the end of May. / AML, KJF Legal na Operator ng Paghuhusga sa Pilipinas .

Online Casino in the Philippines Selection Criteria

licensed online casinos THE National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA) has asked the proponent of the Cebu Bus Rapid Transit (CBRT) project to secure its approval first before resuming civil works on Capitol-owned lots. Chairman Victorino Manalo, in a letter addressed to the Department of Transportation (DOTr) dated Monday, March 25, 2024, requested Transportation Undersecretary Anneli Lontoc to submit two documents for the NCCA’s assessment and approval. The letter was posted on the official social media page of the Cebu Provincial Government on Wednesday, March 27. In the letter, Manalo asked Lontoc to submit an Archeological Impact Assessment (AIA) and development plans for the project to ensure that the CBRT complies with the National Cultural Heritage Act of 2009, or Republic Act 10066, and the General Appropriations Act (GAA). The AIA is required by Section 30(d) of RA 10066 and the Environmental Management Bureau of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources Memorandum Circular 005, series of 2014. The project’s development plan includes mitigation activities to protect the sight line with regard to built heritage, as required under Section 37 of the general provisions of the GAA. “In the meantime, we enjoin the DOTr not to conduct any work or changes in the area, especially excavation works, until we approve your AlA and development plans,” Manalo said. The Provincial Government met with NCCA officials recently to formally express concerns over the potential impact of the CBRT on the visual sight lines and buffer zones of the Cebu Capitol building. Meanwhile, CBRT implementers have started complying with the NCCA requirements. CBRT project manager Norvin Imbong, in a text message to SunStar Cebu on Wednesday, said the DOTr has coordinated with the University of San Carlos (USC) to help formulate the AIA. However, they will find out only on Monday, April 1, if USC can assist them, he said. Joint meetingImbong said their team will also have a joint meeting with the NCCA and the Philippine Historical Commission on Tuesday, April 2, at the Metropolitan Theater in Manila to discuss the matter. He said he will know by then if there are other requirements they need to comply with.Rama’s clarificationIn a statement on Wednesday, Cebu City Mayor Michael Rama reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to preserving heritage sites, while emphasizing the positive impact of the CBRT project.Rama said he had to say this so “neighbors, especially the politicians, will fully understand.”The mayor said he already raised the Capitol’s concern in a meeting with DOTr officials in Manila and the financing agencies, World Bank and French Development Agency. He also clarified that filing the complaint against Gov. Gwendolyn Garcia before the Office of the President had nothing to do with her stance to protect the Capitol building and its buffer zone. It was because of her “meddling” in suspending CBRT construction on Capitol-owned lots, he said.“We agree that we must protect the Capitol. There is no dispute there. The issue is the governor’s meddling, ordering the suspension of the CBRT. She has no right to do so. This is the reason why we have brought the issue to President (Ferdinand) Marcos (Jr.),” Rama said. Rama said the government is only striving to provide the public with “spacious, comfortable and safe transportation” through the BRT.Last February, the governor issued a cease and desist order (CDO) to the contractor of the first package of the CBRT project and directed it to cease civil works on a bus station with a leaf-like structure in front of the Capitol building along Osmeña Blvd. Rama responded by filing a complaint against Garcia before the Office of the President over her “meddling” in the CBRT project. Rama asked the President to “discipline and suspend Governor Garcia.”DelaysLast Monday, March 25, Imbong said they continued to work on other parts of the CBRT despite the governor’s CDO, which applies only to civil works on Capitol property. However, he said the CDO would probably delay the project anew, adding that the first package may not be operational in July as committed earlier. The CBRT project has been marred by several delays since its targeted implementation in 2016. It was only on Feb. 24, 2023 that President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. finally led its groundbreaking ceremony. The DOTr also moved the completion date of the project from 2025 to 2027 due to design changes. A priority project of the Marcos Jr. administration, the CBRT has a budget allocation of P28.78 billion funded through a loan package from the World Bank and French Development Agency with the National Government. Package 1 of the CBRT covers a distance of 2.38 kilometers from the Cebu South Bus Terminal along N. Bacalso Ave. to the front of the Capitol building along Osmeña Blvd. Interviewed on Wednesday at the Cebu South Bus Terminal (CSBT), Governor Garcia urged the CBRT proponent to expedite civil works in front of the bus terminal. Garcia said the project has already inconvenienced southern commuters. “Mayta mahuman na nang pagkubkob sa CBRT (I hope they will finish the excavation for the CBRT). Hinay kaayo ang turnaround sa atong mga buses (The turnaround of our buses has been really slow) and it affects the waiting time of our passengers,” she said. Garcia said they are thinking of transferring the CSBT to the Talisay City side of the Cebu South Coastal Road and converting the facility into an integrated multi-modal bus and ferry terminal that can also accommodate jeepneys and taxis. However, she said the Province is waiting for a private firm to submit an unsolicited proposal to build the facility. / EHP, JJL
