THE creation of a technical working group (TWG) to conduct research, design, build and establish gabion dams or other water impounding facilities as a water source for Cebu City is the first of many steps to make the project a reality.The Cebu City committee on environment and natural resources, in a committee report on City Councilor Nestor Archival’s draft ordinance entitled Gabion Water Dam Ordinance of the City of Cebu, told the proponent to include realistic timeframes and deadlines in the delivery of the output expected from the TWG.The committee pointed out that the idea to build gabion dams in the city has been introduced and suggested several times.Archival filed the draft ordinance last Jan. 10, 2024, with the aim to sustain and augment the city’s water supply production.One of its provisions is the creation of a TWG that will be responsible for the conduct of a feasibility study, including the preparation, identification, and design of gabion dams to be constructed in strategic places within the city. The TWG’s responsibilities include the following: • Identify strategic areas, particularly in the upland or mountain barangays, where there is an abundant surface water resource where gabion dams can be effectively constructed, such as but not limited to the seven major river systems in the city namely the Butuanon, Cotcot, Subangdaku, Kamputhaw, Guadalupe, Mananga, and Lahug rivers;• Consult with experts on the proper materials, design, structure, and other features of a gabion dam to be constructed in the identified sites;• Prepare a construction design; and• Create a manual on how to build gabion dams, as well as manual containing all relevant information on the creation and construction of different types of gabion dams.According to Archival’s proposal, the TWG should be composed of the head of the Department of Engineering and Public Works (DEPW) as ex-officio chairman; City Planning and Development Office (CPDO) head as ex-officio vice chairman; chair of the committee on transportation, communication and utilities; board member of the Metropolitan Cebu Water District (MCWD); Cebu City Environment and Natural Resources Office (Cenro) head; representative from the University of San Carlos (USC) Water Resources Center; Department of Public Services head; Office of the Building Official head; and the city treasurer.The committee on environment and natural resources suggested that the ordinance should strictly monitor the tasks assigned to TWG members.The committee is currently chaired by City Councilor Joel Garganera with City Councilors Rey Gealon, Jerry Guardo, Donaldo Hontiveros and Jocelyn Pesquera as members.It said the proponent should include the specific and realistic time frames and deadlines in the delivery of their outputs.The TWG should also furnish a copy of all its deliverables to the City Council, most specially to the committee on environment and committee on infrastructure.“Deadlines should be included in the ordinance to ensure that their duties are carried on time, and without delays,” the committee wrote on its report.The committee has suggested referring the proposed ordinance to the committee on transportation and the committee on infrastructure for further comment. / JJL What are the top 5 most popular sports in the Philippines?

(TPM/SunStar Philippines) Traditional sabong reflection of Filipino culture BALTIMORE -- A container ship lost power and rammed into a major bridge in Baltimore early Tuesday, March 26, 2024, causing it to snap and plunge into the river below. Several vehicles fell into the chilly waters, and rescuers searched for survivors.The operators of the ship issued a mayday call moments before the crash that took down the Francis Scott Key Bridge, enabling authorities to limit vehicle traffic on the span, Maryland’s governor said.The ship crashed into one of the bridge’s supports, causing the structure to break apart like a toy. It tumbled into the water in a matter of seconds — a shocking spectacle that was captured on video and posted on social media. The vessel caught fire, and thick, black smoke billowed out of it.The crash happened long before the busy morning commute in what one official called a “developing mass casualty event.” Two people were rescued, and officials said six people were still unaccounted for. All were believed to be those working on the bridge when it collapsed.“Never would you think that you would see, physically see, the Key Bridge tumble down like that. It looked like something out of an action movie,” said Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott, calling it “an unthinkable tragedy.”Authorities said a crew of unknown size was working on the bridge at the time of the collapse and that sonar had detected cars in the water, which is about 50 feet (15 meters) deep. The water temperature was about 47 degrees Fahrenheit (8 degrees Celsius) before dawn Tuesday, according to a buoy that collects data for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.Earlier, Kevin Cartwright, director of communications for the Baltimore Fire Department, told The Associated Press that several vehicles were on the bridge at the time of the collapse, including one the size of a tractor-trailer truck. The bridge came down in the middle of night when traffic would be lighter than during the day when thousands of cars traverse the span.Cartwright called the collapse a “developing mass casualty event,” though he didn't know at the time how many people were affected.Synergy Marine Group — which manages the ship, called the Dali — confirmed the vessel hit a pillar of the bridge at about 1:30 a.m. while in control of one or more pilots, who are local specialists who help navigate vessels safely into ports. The ship is owned by Grace Ocean Private Ltd.It said all crew members, including the two pilots on board, were accounted for and there were no reports of any injuries.As the sun rose Tuesday, jagged remnants of the bridge were illuminated jutting up from the waters surface. The on-ramp ended abruptly where the span once began.Cartwright said that some cargo appeared to be dangling from the bridge, which spans the Patapsco River at the entrance to a busy harbor. The river leads to the Port of Baltimore, a major hub for shipping on the East Coast. Opened in 1977, the bridge is named for the writer of “The Star-Spangled Banner.”Maryland Transportation Secretary Paul Wiedefeld said all vessel traffic into and out of the port would be suspended until further notice, though the facility was still open to trucks.Governor Wes Moore declared a state of emergency and said he was working to get federal resources deployed. The FBI was on the scene, but said there was no credible information to suggest terrorism. President Joe Biden was briefed.The Dali was headed from Baltimore to Colombo, Sri Lanka, and flying under a Singapore flag, according to data from Marine Traffic. The container ship is about 985 feet (300 meters) long and about 157 feet (48 meters) wide, according to the website.Danish shipping giant Maersk said it had chartered the vessel, which was carrying its customers’ cargo. No Maersk crew and personnel were on board. The collapse caused Maersk share at the Nasdaq Copenhagen to plummet two percent in early Tuesday trading.In 2001, a freight train carrying hazardous materials derailed in a tunnel in downtown Baltimore and caught fire, spewing black smoke into surrounding neighborhoods and forcing officials to temporarily close all major roads into the city.

THE House of Representatives approved on third and final reading a bill seeking the revocation of the franchise of Swara Sug Media Corporation (SSMC), which operates Sonshine Media Network International (SMNI).The lower chamber approved House Bill (HB) 9710, which seeks to repeal Republic Act (RA) 11422, which extended the franchise granted to SSMC under RA 8122 for an additional 25 years in August 2019, after it received 284 affirmative votes, four no votes and four abstentions.Representative Ramon Rodrigo Gutierrez of the 1-Rider party-list filed the bill due to SMNI’s involvement in the proliferation of fake news, as well as red tagging, which stemmed from the claims of its two program hosts, former anti-insurgency task force spokesperson Lorraine Badoy and Jeffrey Celiz.Badoy and Celiz, who claimed to be a former high-ranking official of the New People's Army, said that House Speaker Martin Romualdez spent P1.8 billion in just a year for his foreign trips.Romualdez denied the allegation, while Celiz later admitted that the information was “unverified.” It was also cited in the bill other “serious corporate offenses” committed by SSMC after the SMNI “openly” admitted to transitioning from a non-stock, non-profit corporation to a sole corporation under Kingdom of Jesus Christ (KJC) leader Pastor Apollo Quiboloy in 2006, the owner of SMNI.In 2023, the controlling stake was transferred to Brother Marlon Acobo, with both transactions taking place without obtaining congressional approval.

Also under RA 11422, the Congress should be notified about any transaction involving the franchise's sale, lease, transfer, or assignment within 60 days or it may trigger the revocation of franchise.Romualdez defended the revocation of SMNI’s franchise, calling it a “decisive action” that “underscores our commitment to uphold the integrity of broadcasting standards and the public’s trust.”“Tinutupad lamang po natin ang mandatong ini-atang sa atin ng Konstitusyon at ng taongbayan. Walang personalan dito. Trabaho lang,” he said.HB 9710, along with Resolution of Both Houses (RBH) 7, which contains the House’s own version of the proposed amendments to the Constitution’s restrictive economic provisions, will be submitted to the Senate.RBH 7 was also passed on the third and final reading in a plenary deliberation on Wednesday afternoon.The chamber also approved 19 priority measures of President Ferdinand Marcos’ administration on third and final reading before the five-week Lenten break.

(TPM/SunStar Philippines) licensed online casinos BALTIMORE -- A container ship lost power and rammed into a major bridge in Baltimore early Tuesday, March 26, 2024, causing it to snap and plunge into the river below. Several vehicles fell into the chilly waters, and rescuers searched for survivors.The operators of the ship issued a mayday call moments before the crash that took down the Francis Scott Key Bridge, enabling authorities to limit vehicle traffic on the span, Maryland’s governor said.The ship crashed into one of the bridge’s supports, causing the structure to break apart like a toy. It tumbled into the water in a matter of seconds — a shocking spectacle that was captured on video and posted on social media. The vessel caught fire, and thick, black smoke billowed out of it.The crash happened long before the busy morning commute in what one official called a “developing mass casualty event.” Two people were rescued, and officials said six people were still unaccounted for. All were believed to be those working on the bridge when it collapsed.“Never would you think that you would see, physically see, the Key Bridge tumble down like that. It looked like something out of an action movie,” said Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott, calling it “an unthinkable tragedy.”Authorities said a crew of unknown size was working on the bridge at the time of the collapse and that sonar had detected cars in the water, which is about 50 feet (15 meters) deep. The water temperature was about 47 degrees Fahrenheit (8 degrees Celsius) before dawn Tuesday, according to a buoy that collects data for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.Earlier, Kevin Cartwright, director of communications for the Baltimore Fire Department, told The Associated Press that several vehicles were on the bridge at the time of the collapse, including one the size of a tractor-trailer truck. The bridge came down in the middle of night when traffic would be lighter than during the day when thousands of cars traverse the span.Cartwright called the collapse a “developing mass casualty event,” though he didn't know at the time how many people were affected.Synergy Marine Group — which manages the ship, called the Dali — confirmed the vessel hit a pillar of the bridge at about 1:30 a.m. while in control of one or more pilots, who are local specialists who help navigate vessels safely into ports. The ship is owned by Grace Ocean Private Ltd.It said all crew members, including the two pilots on board, were accounted for and there were no reports of any injuries.As the sun rose Tuesday, jagged remnants of the bridge were illuminated jutting up from the waters surface. The on-ramp ended abruptly where the span once began.Cartwright said that some cargo appeared to be dangling from the bridge, which spans the Patapsco River at the entrance to a busy harbor. The river leads to the Port of Baltimore, a major hub for shipping on the East Coast. Opened in 1977, the bridge is named for the writer of “The Star-Spangled Banner.”Maryland Transportation Secretary Paul Wiedefeld said all vessel traffic into and out of the port would be suspended until further notice, though the facility was still open to trucks.Governor Wes Moore declared a state of emergency and said he was working to get federal resources deployed. The FBI was on the scene, but said there was no credible information to suggest terrorism. President Joe Biden was briefed.The Dali was headed from Baltimore to Colombo, Sri Lanka, and flying under a Singapore flag, according to data from Marine Traffic. The container ship is about 985 feet (300 meters) long and about 157 feet (48 meters) wide, according to the website.Danish shipping giant Maersk said it had chartered the vessel, which was carrying its customers’ cargo. No Maersk crew and personnel were on board. The collapse caused Maersk share at the Nasdaq Copenhagen to plummet two percent in early Tuesday trading.In 2001, a freight train carrying hazardous materials derailed in a tunnel in downtown Baltimore and caught fire, spewing black smoke into surrounding neighborhoods and forcing officials to temporarily close all major roads into the city.
