THOSE involved in unregulated and illegal sand and gravel activities in Cebu Province can face up to P1 million in penalties, as well as have their vehicles impounded.This was announced by Gov.

Madakpan mo og kaduha, sa gihapon ninyo. Pero ig abot sa ika-upat, ikalima, sala na namo kay wala mi gihimo kay balik-balik na man, nahimo na man nga kustombre,” Garcia said.(It’s your fault for getting caught the first time around. The same goes for the second time. But when you are caught four or five times, then it becomes our fault for doing nothing to stop the practice, which has become your custom.)The governor said current penalty grades no longer deter illegal quarrying activities.“Dili na man kaayo sakit ang bayranan kay mas dako man ang kita sa ilegal (The penalty is outweighed by the big income from the illegal activity),” she said.She said operators have been earning significant profits by not complying with the Province’s policies, which include regulatory fees for businesses engaged in the industry.In the same meeting, Rodel Bontuyan, head of the Cebu Provincial Environmental and Natural Resources Office, said that most violations, aside from lack of documentary permits, were illegal excavation of sand and gravel from the riverbed, over-stockpiling of illegally sourced sands, and unaccounted quantity of extractedquarry materials.Garcia said the proposed adjusted penalties and fines will be endorsed to the Provincial Board for legislative action, and will be certified as urgent.She urged operators to cooperate with the Provincial Government, and warned them of repercussions.Section 198 of the Revenue Code of Cebu of 2008 imposes a fine of P10,000 for each of the following violations: illegal transport of quarry and mineral resources with invalid or without permit; extracting quarry or mineral resources outside of permit area; buying and selling of illegally sourced quarry and mineral resources; over-extraction; buying, selling, recycling and misuse of permits for transport, delivery and hauling; unaccredited processor, trader, hauler, dealer, or retailers of quarry materials; and obstructing authorities conducting lawful inspection of quarry materials.The Provincial Government also confiscates illegally sourced minerals or products.It also authorizes the municipal treasure or his representatives to conduct lawful inspections, impound vehicles, and seize illegally sourced materials.Meanwhile, Garcia acknowledged the contribution of the industry to the Capitol coffers, as it continues to increase from only P97 million in 2019 to P628 million in 2023.Bontuyan said that the Province collected P128 million in 2020, P303 million in 2021, and P396 million in 2022.Garcia said this helped fund various infrastructure projects, including opening and concreting of provincial and barangay roads.She said about 800 kilometers of provincial and barangay roads have already been widened and concreted, costing the Provincial Government more than P3 billion. / EHP How to Make Money in the Philippines .

FORMER Cebu City mayor Tomas Osmeña has expressed willingness to run for vice mayor to support Councilor Nestor Archival if he should run for mayor in 2025.The pronouncement was made in a press conference held at the Casino Español on Thursday, Feb. 29, 2024.Osmeña said he could no longer serve as mayor “realistically.”However, Osmeña said he could be of help as vice mayor, particularly in project management.“If I were to choose, I would choose Archival to be the mayor. He can be a good mayor... I will be his vice mayor,” Osmeña said.He said Archival would not be a good candidate, but he could be a good mayor.He noted that the approach should be what is good for Cebu City by looking at the obstacles that prevent the city from moving further.Given the fact that Archival could be a good mayor, Osmeña said he would make him a good candidate.Osmeña was mayor of Cebu City from 1989 to 1995, 2001 to 2010, and from 2016 to 2019.In the 2016 elections that Osmeña won, Archival was his running mate. Osmeña defeated Michael Rama in that race for mayor, while Edgardo Labella defeated Archival in the race for vice mayor.Deserve moreAsked for his views on other possible candidates for mayor, former Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency Central Visayas director Yogi Filemon Ruiz, Metropolitan Cebu Water District chairman and former Cebu City councilor Jose Daluz III, and incumbent mayor Michael Rama, Osmeña described them as “kulang (lacking).”Osmeña said Cebu City residents should not settle for less, reiterating Archival is the best choice.“We deserve more than that. We have Archival,” Osmeña said.Osmeña remarked that Archival would not be a simple opponent, saying that Archival has always been a first councilor in the north district, meaning earning the highest number of votes.No problemIn a phone interview on Thursday, Archival said he had no problem running for mayor; however, the concern he had raised to Osmeña was on the finances for the campaign.Archival said he had asked Osmeña for more time to make a decision, saying that being a mayor is a “big job.”Regarding Mayor Rama’s offer to include Archival as part of his lineup of councilors for the 2025 midterm elections, Archival said he informed Rama that he would first consult with Bando Osmeña-Pundok Kauswagan (BOPK), with which he is politically affiliated.Asked about the projects he would prioritize if he became mayor, Archival said he would prioritize the basic needs of the constituents.He added that business and environmental concerns should also be addressed together, striking a balance between the two.As he awaits the filing of candidacy, Archival said he is currently consulting with residents and his family.BetterAsked what makes him a better candidate than the others, Archival said as both public and private person he is different from the others.As a public official, Archival said he is doing everything he can for the city despite not having a committee, which includes donating his whole salary as councilor of about P120,000 to P125,000 per month for scholarship programs.He added that his advocacy for the environment would also make the difference, saying that it is the main source of life. Without it, life will be more miserable.He is pushing for what he called “smart production” for food security, according to Archival.He said he already made a foundation two years ago that would assist the city in responding to cases of fire and other emergencies.Lastly, he works in a proactive direction, anticipating potential problems before they happen.Rama, Garcia reactWhen asked about Osmeña’s support for Archival’s candidacy during Cebu City Hall’s online program on Thursday, Cebu City Mayor Michael Rama said he would let them file their candidacy first, noting that anyone is a worthy opponent, even if it is Osmeña’s dog.Rama said he had set a deadline for Archival to make his decision regarding joining his lineup. The deadline was Feb. 24.“No more na,” Rama said, meaning Archival will no longer be included in his lineup.Earlier this month, Rama and Vice Mayor Raymond Alvin Garcia announced that they would run for reelection as a tandem in the 2025 midterm elections. Rama also unveiled the legislators in their lineup, which included Archival for the north district.Asked to comment on Osmeña’s candidacy for vice mayor, Garcia said anyone can run for any elected position in a democratic country.Garcia described Osmeña as a “legend” in the political arena, which makes him entitled to run.Garcia noted that if Osmeña pursues his plan, he could be a “worthy” and “formidable” opponent.Yet, Garcia emphasized that ultimately, it would be up to the people of Cebu City to decide.Potential rivalsRuiz announced his run for mayor last January, while Cebu City Hall reported that Daluz would run for mayor with former councilor and now Basak Pardo Barangay Captain David “Dave” Tumulak as his running mate.Daluz and Tumulak, however, told SunStar Cebu that they had yet to make a final decision on running.Tumulak ran unsuccessfully for mayor in the 2022 elections.

THOSE involved in unregulated and illegal sand and gravel activities in Cebu Province can face up to P1 million in penalties, as well as have their vehicles impounded.This was announced by Gov. Gwendolyn Garcia on Thursday, March 7, 2024.She said she hopes this will deter frequent violators.In a live video posted by the social media arm of the Capitol’s Public Information Office, Garcia said the proposed amount is a “significant” increase from the current penalty for fifth-time offenders.She said the new penalties will be reflected in the Province’s amended Revenue Code.This will include a six-month suspension of permits for fourth-time offenders.On Thursday, the governor met with sand and gravel operators at the Capitol to inform them of the upcoming changes.Garcia said the Provincial Government has been observing and monitoring operators for about four years in which it has discovered patterns of suspicious and illegal activities.She said she has even come across operators who are frequent violators.“Kana man gud madakpan mo og kausa, sala na ninyo kay nagpadakop mo. Madakpan mo og kaduha, sa gihapon ninyo. Pero ig abot sa ika-upat, ikalima, sala na namo kay wala mi gihimo kay balik-balik na man, nahimo na man nga kustombre,” Garcia said.(It’s your fault for getting caught the first time around. The same goes for the second time. But when you are caught four or five times, then it becomes our fault for doing nothing to stop the practice, which has become your custom.)The governor said current penalty grades no longer deter illegal quarrying activities.“Dili na man kaayo sakit ang bayranan kay mas dako man ang kita sa ilegal (The penalty is outweighed by the big income from the illegal activity),” she said.She said operators have been earning significant profits by not complying with the Province’s policies, which include regulatory fees for businesses engaged in the industry.In the same meeting, Rodel Bontuyan, head of the Cebu Provincial Environmental and Natural Resources Office, said that most violations, aside from lack of documentary permits, were illegal excavation of sand and gravel from the riverbed, over-stockpiling of illegally sourced sands, and unaccounted quantity of extractedquarry materials.Garcia said the proposed adjusted penalties and fines will be endorsed to the Provincial Board for legislative action, and will be certified as urgent.She urged operators to cooperate with the Provincial Government, and warned them of repercussions.Section 198 of the Revenue Code of Cebu of 2008 imposes a fine of P10,000 for each of the following violations: illegal transport of quarry and mineral resources with invalid or without permit; extracting quarry or mineral resources outside of permit area; buying and selling of illegally sourced quarry and mineral resources; over-extraction; buying, selling, recycling and misuse of permits for transport, delivery and hauling; unaccredited processor, trader, hauler, dealer, or retailers of quarry materials; and obstructing authorities conducting lawful inspection of quarry materials.The Provincial Government also confiscates illegally sourced minerals or products.It also authorizes the municipal treasure or his representatives to conduct lawful inspections, impound vehicles, and seize illegally sourced materials.Meanwhile, Garcia acknowledged the contribution of the industry to the Capitol coffers, as it continues to increase from only P97 million in 2019 to P628 million in 2023.Bontuyan said that the Province collected P128 million in 2020, P303 million in 2021, and P396 million in 2022.Garcia said this helped fund various infrastructure projects, including opening and concreting of provincial and barangay roads.She said about 800 kilometers of provincial and barangay roads have already been widened and concreted, costing the Provincial Government more than P3 billion. / EHP licensed online casinos THE executive department of the Cebu City Government has asked the Cebu City Council to propose the amount of the Charter Day bonus for City Hall employees.Cebu City Budget Officer Jerone Castillo said Tuesday, Feb. 6, 2024, that Cebu City Mayor Michael Rama expressed this request last Monday to the City Council for their input on the bonus amount.Sought for comment, budget and finance committee chairman Councilor Noel Wenceslao said Wednesday that he cannot comment on the matter yet as this is the first time he has encountered such a request.However, Vice Mayor Raymond Alvin Garcia said they had yet to discuss it in the council.“We will have to meet about it. We have not yet decided,” he said in a text message Wednesday.Rama announced the Charter Day bonus for city hall employees during the flag-raising ceremony on Feb. 5.Castillo said once the City Council comes up with the amount, it will then be the basis for the formal proposal of the mayor. The executive department, through the Local Finance Committee (LFC), will then look for the funding source.He added that Rama wants to prevent a recurrence of the issues and controversies that surrounded the 2023 Christmas bonus for city hall employees.Last December, Rama promised a P35,000 Christmas bonus for all regular and casual city hall employees; however, the city council approved only a P20,000 Christmas bonus.“Karon para wala na gyud issues and concerns, let the Sanggunian suggest, and hopefully the mayor can connect with the Sanggunian that this is the amount that they have in mind,” Castillo said.(Now, to avoid any further issues and concerns, let the city council suggest, and hopefully, the mayor can coordinate with the Sanggunian regarding the amount they have in mind.)Castillo said Mayor Rama’s proposal, with the concurrence of the council, will be evaluated by the LFC, subject to savings and cash flow of the City Government that will support the source of funding.After this, the executive department will then propose to the City Council a supplemental budget that will fund the charter day bonus to the employees, Castillo said.However, Wenceslao on Wednesday said they were waiting for the executive department to submit its proposal to the legislative department for the approval of the Charter Day bonus.He added it will be the council that will determine whether to slash or amend the exact amount of the bonus that will be granted in the supplemental budget.Wenceslao refused to comment yet on the mayor’s request, saying this was the first time he had ever encountered a situation wherein the city council had to suggest the amount for the budget of the Charter Day bonus.In 2023, the employees received P15,000 each after the Council approved Supplemental Budget 1 for 2023 amounting to P79 million for the Charter Day bonus of around 5,000 city hall employees.Last January, however, City Hall reported that it had about 9,000 em­plo­­yees on its payroll, including over 4,000 job order per­sonnel, 3,212 casual and 1,400 regular employees.The Cebu City Government celebrates Char­ter Day every Feb. 24.
