PEDESTRIANS have complained about the alleged poor management and lack of safety precautions with regard to the ongoing implementation of the first package of the Cebu Bus Rapid Transit (CBRT) project. The first package runs 2.38 kilometers from the Cebu South Bus Terminal on N. Bacalso Ave. to the front of the Capitol building along Osmeña Blvd.It passes the Cebu Normal University (CNU), City Central Elementary School and the Abellana National School, which have thousands of students and pupils.A skywalk used to straddle the wide thoroughfare, providing safe crossing, but this was demolished along with the skywalk in front of the Department of Health 7 office last February to make way for the project.Pedestrians, many of them students and pupils from the schools in the vicinity, criticized the lack of signages and insufficient barriers to protect them from passing vehicles.Joshua Dave Ardimer, a student at CNU, told SunStar Cebu on Wednesday, March 12, 2024, that the removal of the skywalk has inconvenienced them, affecting their safety whenever they cross Osmeña Blvd.“In terms of the safety management, I think kailangan siya butangan ug (they need to install) proper precautions na materials or anything na itabon sa mga delikado na (that will cover dangerous) areas,” he said.“There aren’t enough signages (to warn pedestrians), especially with so many schools in the vicinity. You know how unruly elementary pupils can get. So there’s a good chance they’ll get into an accident like hurting themselves from the metal cables that are sticking out from the ground,” he said in a mix of Cebuano and English.Kent Francesco Jongoy, Cebu City Transportation Office legal officer and assistant head, admitted that there are risk hazards in the area, including an open pit and debris from the ongoing civil works of the CBRT project.He urged the Department of Transportation (DOTr) to remind the contractor to strengthen safety measures. Currently the only safety measure in place is a yellow tape that cordons off the excavations, he said.Deployment“I hope the DOTr will also do its job of informing the contractor of the basics of construction safety kay dili man nato malikayan (because it can’t be helped). Asa man nato palakwon ang mga tawo (Where will the people walk)? Adto sa kalsada (On the street)? There’s a portion that is walkable but considering the population of the schools in the area. These are public schools so daghan-daghan gyud ni sila estudyante (there are a lot of students and pupils),” Jongoy said.He said they have deployed 10 traffic enforcers at the intersection of Osmeña Blvd. and P. del Rosario St. and in the near vicinity not only to man traffic but also to assist crossing pedestrians.He said there are two at the corner of R.R. Landon St. and Osmeña Blvd., three at the corner of N. Bacalso and P. del Rosario, three on Leon Kilat St. corner J. Alcantara St. and N. Bacalso, and another two at P. del Rosario corner Junquera St.He said the enforcers work in two shifts, from 6 a.m. to 2 p.m. and from 2 p.m. to 10 p.m.He said patrol teams monitor and handle traffic for the rest of the night until the wee hours of the morning.Jongoy emphasized the need to deploy enforcers to prioritize the safety of pedestrians, many of them students.The DOTr had promised to install pedestrian crossings where the two skywalks stood, but as of press time there were none. Meanwhile, Jongoy asked for the public’s understanding regarding enforcers who take shade, especially during the hottest hours of the day.He said they also need to protect themselves from the intense heat of the sun.Jongoy assured that enforcers are in the middle of intersections manning traffic during peak hours.However, a street vendor who wished not to be identified told SunStar Cebu that they barely feel the presence of the traffic enforcers. “Adto ra gyud siya sa may eskina duol sa traffic lights.

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.

Bacalso Ave. to the front of the Capitol building along Osmeña Blvd.It passes the Cebu Normal University (CNU), City Central Elementary School and the Abellana National School, which have thousands of students and pupils.A skywalk used to straddle the wide thoroughfare, providing safe crossing, but this was demolished along with the skywalk in front of the Department of Health 7 office last February to make way for the project.Pedestrians, many of them students and pupils from the schools in the vicinity, criticized the lack of signages and insufficient barriers to protect them from passing vehicles.Joshua Dave Ardimer, a student at CNU, told SunStar Cebu on Wednesday, March 12, 2024, that the removal of the skywalk has inconvenienced them, affecting their safety whenever they cross Osmeña Blvd.“In terms of the safety management, I think kailangan siya butangan ug (they need to install) proper precautions na materials or anything na itabon sa mga delikado na (that will cover dangerous) areas,” he said.“There aren’t enough signages (to warn pedestrians), especially with so many schools in the vicinity. You know how unruly elementary pupils can get. So there’s a good chance they’ll get into an accident like hurting themselves from the metal cables that are sticking out from the ground,” he said in a mix of Cebuano and English.Kent Francesco Jongoy, Cebu City Transportation Office legal officer and assistant head, admitted that there are risk hazards in the area, including an open pit and debris from the ongoing civil works of the CBRT project.He urged the Department of Transportation (DOTr) to remind the contractor to strengthen safety measures. Currently the only safety measure in place is a yellow tape that cordons off the excavations, he said.Deployment“I hope the DOTr will also do its job of informing the contractor of the basics of construction safety kay dili man nato malikayan (because it can’t be helped). Asa man nato palakwon ang mga tawo (Where will the people walk)? Adto sa kalsada (On the street)? There’s a portion that is walkable but considering the population of the schools in the area. These are public schools so daghan-daghan gyud ni sila estudyante (there are a lot of students and pupils),” Jongoy said.He said they have deployed 10 traffic enforcers at the intersection of Osmeña Blvd. and P. del Rosario St. and in the near vicinity not only to man traffic but also to assist crossing pedestrians.He said there are two at the corner of R.R. Landon St. and Osmeña Blvd., three at the corner of N. Bacalso and P. del Rosario, three on Leon Kilat St. corner J. Alcantara St. and N. Bacalso, and another two at P. del Rosario corner Junquera St.He said the enforcers work in two shifts, from 6 a.m. to 2 p.m. and from 2 p.m. to 10 p.m.He said patrol teams monitor and handle traffic for the rest of the night until the wee hours of the morning.Jongoy emphasized the need to deploy enforcers to prioritize the safety of pedestrians, many of them students.The DOTr had promised to install pedestrian crossings where the two skywalks stood, but as of press time there were none. Meanwhile, Jongoy asked for the public’s understanding regarding enforcers who take shade, especially during the hottest hours of the day.He said they also need to protect themselves from the intense heat of the sun.Jongoy assured that enforcers are in the middle of intersections manning traffic during peak hours.However, a street vendor who wished not to be identified told SunStar Cebu that they barely feel the presence of the traffic enforcers. “Adto ra gyud siya sa may eskina duol sa traffic lights. Tagsa ra pud sila naa, buntag ra,” the vendor said.(They usually hang out in the corner near the traffic lights. And they’re rarely there, usually in the mornings.) / EHP / BiPSU INTERNS JOSHUA USIGAN, MA. ANNA PRIMERO How long does it take for Filipinos to get money from sportsbooks? .

PRESIDENT Ferdinand Marcos Jr. dismissed on Wednesday, February 28, 2024, the claims of Kingdom of Jesus Christ (KJC) leader Pastor Apollo Quiboloy that the Philippines and US government are working together to eliminate him either through rendition or assassination.“Walang gustong mag-assassinate sa kanya. Why would anyone want to do that? Hindi ko naiintindihan ang sinasabi niya. Bakit siya ia-assassinate? Siguro natatakot siya dahil sa mga pangyayari,” he said in an interview with reporters before his flight to Australia.(No one wanted to assassinate him. Why would anyone want to do that? I didn't understand what he was saying. Why would he be assassinated? Maybe he is afraid because of the events.)“Again, the best way to diffuse the situation is for him to testify before the committees in the House and the Senate,” he added.Quiboloy earlier issued an audio recording claiming that his life is in a serious danger based on information from a reliable source, as the US and Philippine government are planning to eliminate him amid his cases in the US, such as sex trafficking by force including of children, money laundering and fraud and coercion, among others.He said authorities are even using drones to survey his compounds and planning the conduct of raids where they will plant firearms and illegal drugs as evidence.Romualdez slams Quiboloy’s ‘baseless accusations’ over ‘assassination plot’Quiboloy who was indicted by a US court over the said charges said the US’ Federal Bureau of Investigation has placed a $2-million bounty on his head.Quiboloy issued the statement following the issuance of subpoena against him by the Senate, which is probing the alleged illegal activities within his religious organization, such as sexual and physical abuse of members, and the House of Representatives, which is looking into KJC’s broadcasting arm, the SMNI.The Senate and the House of Representatives earlier warned of Quiboloy’s arrest over his continued refusal to face their respective panels conducting the inquiry.Quiboloy maintained, though, that he will not face either of the Congress’ chambers and that he will only face the allegations against him through a proper court.Even Marcos called on Quiboloy to face the congressional hearings.Meanwhile, in a press conference in Davao City, former President Rodrigo Duterte, a close friend of Quiboloy, said a subpoena cannot compel Quiboloy to attend congressional hearings.He said he is also not aware of Quiboloy’s whereabouts.Duterte also denied receiving firearms from Quiboloy as claimed by his former landscaper in Glory Mountain in Davao City."Kami magtanggap ng baril kay Pastor Apollo Quiboloy? Ako pa mag-deliver sa kaniya ng kanyon bukas, o machine gun," he said.(We accept guns from Pastor Apollo Quiboloy? I myself will deliver him a cannon tomorrow, or a machine gun.)"Bakit pa si Pastor ang magbigay ng baril sa akin? Saan siya magkuha? Kung magsabi siya wala siyang baril, bigyan ko siya," Durterte added.(Why would Pastor give me a gun? Where will he get it? If he says he doesn't have a gun, I'll give it to him.) (TPM/SunStar Philippines) licensed online casinos 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. Separately, the Provincial Board approved a resolution en masse, requesting the NMP to return the panels to Boljoon church.
