TO REALIZE the extension of the Bantayan Island Airport’s runway, the Cebu Provincial Government has formally asked owners of lots near the airport in Barangay Okoy, Santa Fe town to sell their properties to give way to the project. Cebu Gov. Gwendolyn Garcia met the 63 lot owners involved on Wednesday, Feb. 14, 2024, and offered to have the Provincial Government buy their properties, which cover a combined 22.5 hectares of land in Barangays Balidbid and Okoy situated north of the airport. The airport, operated by the Mactan-Cebu International Airport Authority (MCIAA), is located on a lot owned by the Cebu Provincial Government. During the Wednesday meeting streamed live on the Cebu Provincial Government’s Public Information Office (PIO) Facebook page, Garcia said she had met with representatives of Cebu Pacific and Philippine Airlines, who told the governor that their air assets can land on runways that are at least 1.5 kilometers long. The current length of the runway is 1.2 kilometers. For now, the Bantayan airport caters only to chartered flights.The Provincial Government plans to extend the runway by purchasing the identified lots to increase its length to three kilometers and width to 150 meters.It will be the Provincial Government that will fund the construction of the runway extension, Garcia said. Garcia emphasized the importance of accessible tourism, including the need for a larger airport to accommodate bigger planes on the island.Other future developments on the local airport are the construction of a fire truck terminal inside the facility, the expansion of terminal capacity from about 40 to 100 passengers, and the construction and installation of a fuel depot, among others.Traveling via air to the island is better than traveling by land as it cuts down to about half an hour the usual trip that involves a four- to five-hour drive from Cebu City to Hagnaya Port in San Remigio town on the Cebu mainland and then the one-hour ferry ride to the Santa Fe Port on Bantayan Island, Garcia said. She added that she envisioned transforming the island into a premier tourist destination featuring the beautiful white sand beaches that would attract tourists and bring economic development to the island.Garcia said if completed the Bantayan airport could accommodate bigger planes that would entice the prominent airlines to offer regular flights to the island from Manila and the Mactan-Cebu International Airport (MCIA). The governor added that the easier it is for tourists to access the island, the more they will visit. According to the Capitol, the island attracts 6,000 tourists on weekends and over 3,000 tourists on weekdays.Present during the consultative meeting were Provincial Board Member Minuel Carmela Franco (4th district), Santa Fe Mayor Ithamar Espinosa, Madridejos Mayor Romeo Villaceran and Santa Fe Municipal Assessor Rolando Fariolen.Selling priceWhen one of the lot owners asked about the appraisal and selling price, Garcia said it would be the Cebu Provincial Appraisal Committee (CPAC) that would determine the lot price per square meter (sqm). According to CPAC chairperson and Provincial Board Member Franco, the lot appraisal would be based on the comparable prices and opinions from the appraisal team from banks, real estate brokers, and zonal values from the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) to determine the selling price of the lots. The selling price of the identified lot will also be contingent upon the land classification based on tax declaration whether it falls under residential or agricultural lot, among others. “Wala pa mi presyo karon kay first step pa ni. Pagpasabot lang ninyo nga paliton sa gobyerno ang inyong yuta,” Garcia said. (We don’t have a price now because this is just the first step. This is just to let you understand that the government will buy your land.)She also stressed that the selling price will be based on the zonal valuation of the BIR, to avoid any discrepancies once the transaction is audited by the Commission on Audit (COA). Once the selling price is determined, however, if the Provincial Government and the lot owner do not agree on it, then the expropriation process will be used. Garcia said she does not want to proceed with the expropriation process, in which the Provincial Government will file a case of expropriation under the principle that the project is for public purposes and make a deposit of 15 percent of the determined selling price to the court to take immediate possession of the property.It will be up to the court to determine whether the expropriation case is for public purposes. Upon preliminary survey, the majority of the lots that were identified were considered “idle” lots in which there was no existing development, Garcia said.She reminded owners of “idle” lots to embark on developments on their properties as there is a proposed ordinance from the Provincial Board that undeveloped or unimproved lots will be subject to an additional “ad valorem” tax of five percent. “Nanghinaot ko nga dili ta magka-away-away ani. Magsinabtanay ta aron dili na ta mag-abot og korte,” Garcia said. (I hope we do not fight over this. Let us come to an agreement so that we do not have to go to court.)

Non-customers should not address their complaints to the water district, he said.Metro Cebu is made up of the cities of Carcar, Cebu, Danao, Lapu-Lapu, Mandaue, Naga and Talisay, and the towns of Compostela, Consolacion, Cordova, Liloan, Minglanilla and San Fernando.Gonzalez said MCWD currently acquires water from three distinct sources: desalinated seawater (10 percent), groundwater obtained from wells (50 percent), and surface water (40 percent), which encompasses both bulk water and sources owned by MCWD.He said the ongoing dry spell disproportionately affects the supply from surface water sources, which are directly exposed to the atmosphere and are therefore “more susceptible to the extensive heat.”Among its surface water sources are the Jaclupan wellfield in Talisay City, which normally produces 30,000 cubic meters, and the Buhisan Dam in Cebu City, which normally produces 5,000 cubic meters.However, he did not provide their current water output.Gonzalez said seawater can be a great source of supply since “seawater is limitless,” but he said it is expensive.However, he said they are currently capitalizing on establishing more desalination projects.On Dec. 28, 2022, MCWD signed a 25-year contract worth P20.7 billion for a joint venture with Pilipinas Water Resources Inc. and 8990 Housing Development Corp. to provide desalinated water.According to the contract, 10,000 cubic meters of water would be delivered daily in the first year, with the delivery increasing to 25,000 cubic meters per day for the remaining 24 years of the agreement.SunStar Cebu tried to contact Gonzalez for any updates on the water district’s water supply output, but he did not respond as of press time.Dry spellMeanwhile, Chief Alfredo “Al” Quiblat Jr. of the weather bureau Pagasa Visayas announced that Cebu is officially under a dry spell.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.According to records of the Cebu City Agriculture Department, 506 farmers out of the 10,719 registered farmers in the city’s 28 mountain barangays are already reeling from the effects of El Niño, with the extreme weather condition affecting 115 hectares of farmland.They suffer from lack of water which has damaged or destroyed some of their crops, said City Agriculturist Joelito Baclayon.“Nagproblema na sila, wala nitubo ilang mga tanom kay nagkulang na gyud and tubig. Ato silang gikuanan, gitagaan ug response dayon ug ato dayong gikuha ang posibile pud na may mga damages,” he said.(Some of their crops did not grow due to lack of water. We’ve already responded and collated the possible damage they have incurred.)The City Government has moved to implement mitigating measures to alleviate the plight of the affected farmers, which include a comprehensive barangay-to-barangay campaign and awareness caravan, rallying local communities and associations to identify and address pressing issues related to farming amid the El Niño.Baclayon said they have allocated P97 million in assistance but only for those who have suffered because of the El Niño.He said insured farmers can also file insurance claims.He said the City will also implement essential infrastructure projects like building mini-irrigations, and deploy power pumps, drums, hoses, as well as construct greenhouses to bolster agricultural resilience.Baclayon also highlighted the formation of three organizations that comprise approximately 97 mini-associations to streamline the distribution of resources and support across the 28 affected mountain barangays.“Importante kaayo na gi-organize namo sila kay they are the ones who would tell us asa gyud dapita within sa ilaha na area possibly naay enough na sufficiency nga kabutangan [where infrastructure projects will be implemented],” Baclayon said.(It was important to organize them since they are the ones who will tell us where infrastructure projects can be implemented to mitigate the effects of the El Niño,” he said in a mix of Cebuano and English.

(KJF / Joshua Usigan, BIPSU Intern) Philippine Sports Commission National Sports Associations 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.

THE WATER supply of Metropolitan Cebu Water District (MCWD) has decreased due to the ongoing dry spell caused by the strong El Niño phenomenon.Tommy Gonzalez of the production department of MCWD said on Tuesday, March 5, 2024, that they have observed that the supply has been depleting since the last quarter of last year.MCWD is a primary water utility company, which serves the cities of Cebu, Mandaue, Talisay and Lapu-Lapu and the towns of Consolacion, Liloan, Compostela, and Cordova.He said they used to produce 301,000 cubic meters of water daily, but now they can only produce around 276,000 cubic meters per day.“We have consumers from the coverage area who are already complaining that their supposed 24-hour availability of water is now intermittent,” he said.He said the water needs of the entire Metro Cebu amount to 600,000 cubic meters per day, and they only provide 52 percent, or approximately 312,000 cubic meters.ClarificationHe clarified that MCWD does not serve everyone in the metro. Non-customers should not address their complaints to the water district, he said.Metro Cebu is made up of the cities of Carcar, Cebu, Danao, Lapu-Lapu, Mandaue, Naga and Talisay, and the towns of Compostela, Consolacion, Cordova, Liloan, Minglanilla and San Fernando.Gonzalez said MCWD currently acquires water from three distinct sources: desalinated seawater (10 percent), groundwater obtained from wells (50 percent), and surface water (40 percent), which encompasses both bulk water and sources owned by MCWD.He said the ongoing dry spell disproportionately affects the supply from surface water sources, which are directly exposed to the atmosphere and are therefore “more susceptible to the extensive heat.”Among its surface water sources are the Jaclupan wellfield in Talisay City, which normally produces 30,000 cubic meters, and the Buhisan Dam in Cebu City, which normally produces 5,000 cubic meters.However, he did not provide their current water output.Gonzalez said seawater can be a great source of supply since “seawater is limitless,” but he said it is expensive.However, he said they are currently capitalizing on establishing more desalination projects.On Dec. 28, 2022, MCWD signed a 25-year contract worth P20.7 billion for a joint venture with Pilipinas Water Resources Inc. and 8990 Housing Development Corp. to provide desalinated water.According to the contract, 10,000 cubic meters of water would be delivered daily in the first year, with the delivery increasing to 25,000 cubic meters per day for the remaining 24 years of the agreement.SunStar Cebu tried to contact Gonzalez for any updates on the water district’s water supply output, but he did not respond as of press time.Dry spellMeanwhile, Chief Alfredo “Al” Quiblat Jr. of the weather bureau Pagasa Visayas announced that Cebu is officially under a dry spell.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.According to records of the Cebu City Agriculture Department, 506 farmers out of the 10,719 registered farmers in the city’s 28 mountain barangays are already reeling from the effects of El Niño, with the extreme weather condition affecting 115 hectares of farmland.They suffer from lack of water which has damaged or destroyed some of their crops, said City Agriculturist Joelito Baclayon.“Nagproblema na sila, wala nitubo ilang mga tanom kay nagkulang na gyud and tubig. Ato silang gikuanan, gitagaan ug response dayon ug ato dayong gikuha ang posibile pud na may mga damages,” he said.(Some of their crops did not grow due to lack of water. We’ve already responded and collated the possible damage they have incurred.)The City Government has moved to implement mitigating measures to alleviate the plight of the affected farmers, which include a comprehensive barangay-to-barangay campaign and awareness caravan, rallying local communities and associations to identify and address pressing issues related to farming amid the El Niño.Baclayon said they have allocated P97 million in assistance but only for those who have suffered because of the El Niño.He said insured farmers can also file insurance claims.He said the City will also implement essential infrastructure projects like building mini-irrigations, and deploy power pumps, drums, hoses, as well as construct greenhouses to bolster agricultural resilience.Baclayon also highlighted the formation of three organizations that comprise approximately 97 mini-associations to streamline the distribution of resources and support across the 28 affected mountain barangays.“Importante kaayo na gi-organize namo sila kay they are the ones who would tell us asa gyud dapita within sa ilaha na area possibly naay enough na sufficiency nga kabutangan [where infrastructure projects will be implemented],” Baclayon said.(It was important to organize them since they are the ones who will tell us where infrastructure projects can be implemented to mitigate the effects of the El Niño,” he said in a mix of Cebuano and English.

TO REALIZE the extension of the Bantayan Island Airport’s runway, the Cebu Provincial Government has formally asked owners of lots near the airport in Barangay Okoy, Santa Fe town to sell their properties to give way to the project. Cebu Gov. Gwendolyn Garcia met the 63 lot owners involved on Wednesday, Feb. 14, 2024, and offered to have the Provincial Government buy their properties, which cover a combined 22.5 hectares of land in Barangays Balidbid and Okoy situated north of the airport. The airport, operated by the Mactan-Cebu International Airport Authority (MCIAA), is located on a lot owned by the Cebu Provincial Government. During the Wednesday meeting streamed live on the Cebu Provincial Government’s Public Information Office (PIO) Facebook page, Garcia said she had met with representatives of Cebu Pacific and Philippine Airlines, who told the governor that their air assets can land on runways that are at least 1.5 kilometers long. The current length of the runway is 1.2 kilometers. For now, the Bantayan airport caters only to chartered flights.The Provincial Government plans to extend the runway by purchasing the identified lots to increase its length to three kilometers and width to 150 meters.It will be the Provincial Government that will fund the construction of the runway extension, Garcia said. Garcia emphasized the importance of accessible tourism, including the need for a larger airport to accommodate bigger planes on the island.Other future developments on the local airport are the construction of a fire truck terminal inside the facility, the expansion of terminal capacity from about 40 to 100 passengers, and the construction and installation of a fuel depot, among others.Traveling via air to the island is better than traveling by land as it cuts down to about half an hour the usual trip that involves a four- to five-hour drive from Cebu City to Hagnaya Port in San Remigio town on the Cebu mainland and then the one-hour ferry ride to the Santa Fe Port on Bantayan Island, Garcia said. She added that she envisioned transforming the island into a premier tourist destination featuring the beautiful white sand beaches that would attract tourists and bring economic development to the island.Garcia said if completed the Bantayan airport could accommodate bigger planes that would entice the prominent airlines to offer regular flights to the island from Manila and the Mactan-Cebu International Airport (MCIA). The governor added that the easier it is for tourists to access the island, the more they will visit. According to the Capitol, the island attracts 6,000 tourists on weekends and over 3,000 tourists on weekdays.Present during the consultative meeting were Provincial Board Member Minuel Carmela Franco (4th district), Santa Fe Mayor Ithamar Espinosa, Madridejos Mayor Romeo Villaceran and Santa Fe Municipal Assessor Rolando Fariolen.Selling priceWhen one of the lot owners asked about the appraisal and selling price, Garcia said it would be the Cebu Provincial Appraisal Committee (CPAC) that would determine the lot price per square meter (sqm). According to CPAC chairperson and Provincial Board Member Franco, the lot appraisal would be based on the comparable prices and opinions from the appraisal team from banks, real estate brokers, and zonal values from the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) to determine the selling price of the lots. The selling price of the identified lot will also be contingent upon the land classification based on tax declaration whether it falls under residential or agricultural lot, among others. “Wala pa mi presyo karon kay first step pa ni. Pagpasabot lang ninyo nga paliton sa gobyerno ang inyong yuta,” Garcia said. (We don’t have a price now because this is just the first step. This is just to let you understand that the government will buy your land.)She also stressed that the selling price will be based on the zonal valuation of the BIR, to avoid any discrepancies once the transaction is audited by the Commission on Audit (COA). Once the selling price is determined, however, if the Provincial Government and the lot owner do not agree on it, then the expropriation process will be used. Garcia said she does not want to proceed with the expropriation process, in which the Provincial Government will file a case of expropriation under the principle that the project is for public purposes and make a deposit of 15 percent of the determined selling price to the court to take immediate possession of the property.It will be up to the court to determine whether the expropriation case is for public purposes. Upon preliminary survey, the majority of the lots that were identified were considered “idle” lots in which there was no existing development, Garcia said.She reminded owners of “idle” lots to embark on developments on their properties as there is a proposed ordinance from the Provincial Board that undeveloped or unimproved lots will be subject to an additional “ad valorem” tax of five percent. “Nanghinaot ko nga dili ta magka-away-away ani. Magsinabtanay ta aron dili na ta mag-abot og korte,” Garcia said. (I hope we do not fight over this. Let us come to an agreement so that we do not have to go to court.)

(KJF / Joshua Usigan, BIPSU Intern) 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.
