Philippines THE Metropolitan Cebu Water District (MCWD) will be having dialogues with various members of the business community to discuss the importance of the water rate adjustment, which will finally be implemented on April 1, 2024.The rate adjustment will push through, according to Jose Daluz III, chairman of the MCWD board of directors.“At least we have one month to talk to them, explain to them. Manghangyo mi nga this is not something nga nag-increase mi. It is just an application of the prescribed rate of LWUA since 2010,” Daluz said in an interview on Monday, Feb. 12.He clarified that the water district is not jacking up rates, but is lifting the exemption on the Local Water Utilities Administration’s (LWUA) prescribed rate guidelines set way back in 2010.He said MCWD did not need to seek LWUA’s approval; rather they only informed the agency that they would be imposing the prescribed rate.Daluz said the rate adjustment, which will affect only commercial and industrial customers, was supposed to take effect last Dec. 1, 2023, but they decided to defer it due to the holiday season.According to a SunStar Cebu report on Nov. 19, 2023, the current rates for consumers -- residential, commercial and industrial -- for the first 10 cubic meters of water consumed is P15.20 per cubic meter.Beyond 10 cubic meters, or from 11-20 cubic meters, the rate is P16.80 per cubic meter; from 21-30 cubic meters, P19.80, and for usage exceeding 30 cubic meters, the rate is P48.40 cubic meter.Under the LWUA’s prescribed rate, the first 10 cubic meters will be P30.40 per cubic meter for commercial consumers and P45.60 for industrial consumers.Around 85 percent of the water district’s customers are residential, while the remaining 15 percent are composed of commercial and industrial customers. Daluz also pointed out that the adjustment that was supposed to take effect last December is separate from the rate hikes that the MCWD had asked the LWUA to approve, which included the 60 percent that should have taken effect last July 1 and another 10 percent that was supposed to be implemented in the middle of this year.Daluz said they will no longer pursue these rate hike petitions.He said the MCWD will allot the whole month of March to engage in a dialogue with business chambers and establishments within its franchise jurisdiction after it was informed that the Cebu Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CCCI) had submitted its position regarding the rate adjustment directly to LWUA.SunStar Cebu reached out to CCCI president Charles Kenneth Co to comment on the matter, but he had yet to issue a statement as of press time.Meanwhile, Daluz said the MCWD has no choice but to implement the LWUA’s prescribed rate because MCWD will soon be purchasing water from desalination plants in Barangay Mambaling in Cebu City, Barangay Opao in Mandaue City and Barangay Catarman in Cordova.The desalination plant in Opao charges P73.86 per cubic meter. The ones in Mambaling and Catarman have yet to release their rates.Daluz admitted that commercial and industrial customers will be paying more for their water after April, but the move is crucial to support the water district’s ongoing infrastructure support and projects that will ensure a sufficient supply of water in Metro Cebu.ExemptionIn 2010, Daluz said, MCWD asked for an exemption as a policy to stay competitive after the water district lost a case against Margarita Adala.The loss prompted the earlier administration to uniformly charge its residential, commercial and industrial consumers, and not follow LWUA’s rate structure.On July 4, 2007, the Supreme Court ruled in favor of Adala to supply water to three sitios in Barangay Bulacao.The ruling added that the MCWD has no “exclusivity” on water distribution in Metro Cebu, thus opening its operation to competition from private water suppliers. Cebu City Mayor Michael Rama replaced MCWD board members Daluz, Miguelito Pato and Jodelyn May Seno last Oct. 31 with Melquiades Feliciano, Aristotle Batuhan and Nelson Yuvallos. But Daluz, Pato and Seno have refused to step down from their posts.Feliciano is the chairman of the Rama-appointed board.

THE Cebu Baseport is not within the territorial jurisdiction of the Cebu City Government.This was the statement the Cebu Port Authority (CPA) issued on Saturday, March 16, 2024.The Office of the Building Office (OBO) of Cebu City, on Friday, March 15, filed a complaint against the CPA before the Office of the Ombudsman-Visayas for constructing buildings and a wharf without the necessary building permits.It slapped the CPA with criminal cases for 18 counts of violation of Section 3(e) of Republic Act (RA) 3019, or Usurpation of Authority under Article 177 of the Revised Penal Code, and violation of Section 301 in relation to Section 213 of Presidential Decree (PD) 1096, or the National Building Code of the Philippines, as well as administrative cases for grave misconduct, gross neglect of duty, and conduct prejudicial to the best interest of the service.The complaint was addressed to Glenn Castillo, the former general manager of CPA, and Francisco Comendador III, the incumbent general manager. “On the illegal construction allegations, we stand firm on our position that the Cebu Port Authority is not within the territorial jurisdiction of the Office of Building Official of Cebu City,” CPA said in a statement. It said the OBO was beyond the bounds of its authority as provided in Section 207 of PD 1096. It cited a 22-page Regional Trial Court decision on June 5, 2023, which identified the Republic of the Philippines, represented by the CPA, as the beneficial owner of properties within the Cebu Baseport.The court decision was regarding the ownership of the Compania Maritima. “This issue has been going on for the past several years, and it is sad to know that the conflict between the two government institutions will only result in a long-term negative impact on Cebu’s economic development,” CPA added. The Cebu City Government and CPA have been involved in an ongoing rift over the ownership of the Compania Maritima. Recently, Mayor Michael Rama flagged CPA’s seaport extension project near the Compania Maritima and the back of the National Museum of the Philippines at the Plaza Independencia. Compania Maritima was supposed to be included in the ongoing Carbon Market redevelopment project, a joint venture agreement between the Cebu City Government and Megawide Construction Corp. The OBO had issued 15 notices of violation to the CPA dated Feb. 2, 2023, for buildings and structures, 10 of which are in the Cebu International Port (CIP) Complex. These are the CPA main administration building, CPA social hall and canteen, CPA sports facility, CPA PSSEMD office building, CPA records building and fabrication area, CPA powerhouse and water pumphouse, CPA GAD Center, CIP One-Stop Shop and current GM and Landbank building and Bureau of Customs 4 office building. Notices were also issued for the PMO-Pier 4 office building in Berth 13, Pier 1 ticket booths at the Pier 1 entrance gate, Pier 1 passenger terminal building and Pier 3 passenger terminal building, all in the Cebu Baseport; as well as for the fence, guardhouse and covered walk, whose locations were not specified. The CPA said it only recently learned about the latest legal action taken by the OBO, particularly the filing of several complaints over the alleged violations of the National Building Code, but said it has yet to receive a copy of the complaints.“In due time, CPA will answer all unfounded allegations in the proper forum,” CPA in the statement. / EHP, RJM

He said higher officials advised them to secure the necessary permits.He hopes to have them as soon as possible, he said.The CBRT project has been marred by several delays since its targeted implementation in 2016.The groundbreaking of Package 1, which the Cebu City Government had set for Feb. 2, 2023, was moved to Feb. 24 because President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. was only available on the latter date.The original target completion date of Package 1 was in the last quarter of 2023 only to be moved to the first quarter of 2024.The Department of Transportation initially aimed to complete the CBRT project in 2025 but moved it to 2027 due to design changes. These changes include the addition of Package 4 that will feature a dedicated lane from Bulacao to Mambaling; extension of the alignment from Ayala to Cebu IT Park; a rotunda underneath the Mambaling flyover; and the conversion of a mixed traffic lane along the coastal road at the South Road Properties and F.

THE Metropolitan Cebu Water District (MCWD) will be having dialogues with various members of the business community to discuss the importance of the water rate adjustment, which will finally be implemented on April 1, 2024.The rate adjustment will push through, according to Jose Daluz III, chairman of the MCWD board of directors.“At least we have one month to talk to them, explain to them. Manghangyo mi nga this is not something nga nag-increase mi. It is just an application of the prescribed rate of LWUA since 2010,” Daluz said in an interview on Monday, Feb. 12.He clarified that the water district is not jacking up rates, but is lifting the exemption on the Local Water Utilities Administration’s (LWUA) prescribed rate guidelines set way back in 2010.He said MCWD did not need to seek LWUA’s approval; rather they only informed the agency that they would be imposing the prescribed rate.Daluz said the rate adjustment, which will affect only commercial and industrial customers, was supposed to take effect last Dec. 1, 2023, but they decided to defer it due to the holiday season.According to a SunStar Cebu report on Nov. 19, 2023, the current rates for consumers -- residential, commercial and industrial -- for the first 10 cubic meters of water consumed is P15.20 per cubic meter.Beyond 10 cubic meters, or from 11-20 cubic meters, the rate is P16.80 per cubic meter; from 21-30 cubic meters, P19.80, and for usage exceeding 30 cubic meters, the rate is P48.40 cubic meter.Under the LWUA’s prescribed rate, the first 10 cubic meters will be P30.40 per cubic meter for commercial consumers and P45.60 for industrial consumers.Around 85 percent of the water district’s customers are residential, while the remaining 15 percent are composed of commercial and industrial customers. Daluz also pointed out that the adjustment that was supposed to take effect last December is separate from the rate hikes that the MCWD had asked the LWUA to approve, which included the 60 percent that should have taken effect last July 1 and another 10 percent that was supposed to be implemented in the middle of this year.Daluz said they will no longer pursue these rate hike petitions.He said the MCWD will allot the whole month of March to engage in a dialogue with business chambers and establishments within its franchise jurisdiction after it was informed that the Cebu Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CCCI) had submitted its position regarding the rate adjustment directly to LWUA.SunStar Cebu reached out to CCCI president Charles Kenneth Co to comment on the matter, but he had yet to issue a statement as of press time.Meanwhile, Daluz said the MCWD has no choice but to implement the LWUA’s prescribed rate because MCWD will soon be purchasing water from desalination plants in Barangay Mambaling in Cebu City, Barangay Opao in Mandaue City and Barangay Catarman in Cordova.The desalination plant in Opao charges P73.86 per cubic meter. The ones in Mambaling and Catarman have yet to release their rates.Daluz admitted that commercial and industrial customers will be paying more for their water after April, but the move is crucial to support the water district’s ongoing infrastructure support and projects that will ensure a sufficient supply of water in Metro Cebu.ExemptionIn 2010, Daluz said, MCWD asked for an exemption as a policy to stay competitive after the water district lost a case against Margarita Adala.The loss prompted the earlier administration to uniformly charge its residential, commercial and industrial consumers, and not follow LWUA’s rate structure.On July 4, 2007, the Supreme Court ruled in favor of Adala to supply water to three sitios in Barangay Bulacao.The ruling added that the MCWD has no “exclusivity” on water distribution in Metro Cebu, thus opening its operation to competition from private water suppliers. Cebu City Mayor Michael Rama replaced MCWD board members Daluz, Miguelito Pato and Jodelyn May Seno last Oct. 31 with Melquiades Feliciano, Aristotle Batuhan and Nelson Yuvallos. But Daluz, Pato and Seno have refused to step down from their posts.Feliciano is the chairman of the Rama-appointed board. licensed online casinos THE Cebu Baseport is not within the territorial jurisdiction of the Cebu City Government.This was the statement the Cebu Port Authority (CPA) issued on Saturday, March 16, 2024.The Office of the Building Office (OBO) of Cebu City, on Friday, March 15, filed a complaint against the CPA before the Office of the Ombudsman-Visayas for constructing buildings and a wharf without the necessary building permits.It slapped the CPA with criminal cases for 18 counts of violation of Section 3(e) of Republic Act (RA) 3019, or Usurpation of Authority under Article 177 of the Revised Penal Code, and violation of Section 301 in relation to Section 213 of Presidential Decree (PD) 1096, or the National Building Code of the Philippines, as well as administrative cases for grave misconduct, gross neglect of duty, and conduct prejudicial to the best interest of the service.The complaint was addressed to Glenn Castillo, the former general manager of CPA, and Francisco Comendador III, the incumbent general manager. “On the illegal construction allegations, we stand firm on our position that the Cebu Port Authority is not within the territorial jurisdiction of the Office of Building Official of Cebu City,” CPA said in a statement. It said the OBO was beyond the bounds of its authority as provided in Section 207 of PD 1096. It cited a 22-page Regional Trial Court decision on June 5, 2023, which identified the Republic of the Philippines, represented by the CPA, as the beneficial owner of properties within the Cebu Baseport.The court decision was regarding the ownership of the Compania Maritima. “This issue has been going on for the past several years, and it is sad to know that the conflict between the two government institutions will only result in a long-term negative impact on Cebu’s economic development,” CPA added. The Cebu City Government and CPA have been involved in an ongoing rift over the ownership of the Compania Maritima. Recently, Mayor Michael Rama flagged CPA’s seaport extension project near the Compania Maritima and the back of the National Museum of the Philippines at the Plaza Independencia. Compania Maritima was supposed to be included in the ongoing Carbon Market redevelopment project, a joint venture agreement between the Cebu City Government and Megawide Construction Corp. The OBO had issued 15 notices of violation to the CPA dated Feb. 2, 2023, for buildings and structures, 10 of which are in the Cebu International Port (CIP) Complex. These are the CPA main administration building, CPA social hall and canteen, CPA sports facility, CPA PSSEMD office building, CPA records building and fabrication area, CPA powerhouse and water pumphouse, CPA GAD Center, CIP One-Stop Shop and current GM and Landbank building and Bureau of Customs 4 office building. Notices were also issued for the PMO-Pier 4 office building in Berth 13, Pier 1 ticket booths at the Pier 1 entrance gate, Pier 1 passenger terminal building and Pier 3 passenger terminal building, all in the Cebu Baseport; as well as for the fence, guardhouse and covered walk, whose locations were not specified. The CPA said it only recently learned about the latest legal action taken by the OBO, particularly the filing of several complaints over the alleged violations of the National Building Code, but said it has yet to receive a copy of the complaints.“In due time, CPA will answer all unfounded allegations in the proper forum,” CPA in the statement. / EHP, RJM
