15 casualties as of 10pm...:ohno:

13 people killed in Cebu road accident – police (http://www.gmanews.tv/story/229808/regions/13-people-killed-in-cebu-road-accident-police)
08/18/2011 | 04:09 PM

(Updated 6:42 p.m.) Thirteen people were reported killed while 40 others were hurt when a dump truck carrying mourners fell into a cliff while on its way to a cemetery in Cebu province's Barili town, police said Thursday.

Chief Inspector Marlon Gumabao of Barili police said eight died on the spot while others perished at a hospital.

In an earlier report, Central Visayas police Chief Supt. Ager Ontog Jr said the accident occurred around 1:30 p.m. in Barili town's Barangay Kangdampas. He said the dump truck was on its way to the Barili Cemetery.

An initial investigation showed the dump truck carrying an undetermined number of people turned turtle after losing its brakes and fell into a cliff.

Those who were seriously injured were rushed to the Vicente Sotto Memorial Medical Center in Cebu City, Ontog said, adding that those who suffered minor injuries were brought to the Barili District Hospital.

"[The] driver is under custody for charges of reckless imprudence resulting in multiple homicide and physical injuries," Gumabao said. — LBG/KBK, GMA News

A great first year report from Rep. Cutie
SHOOTING STRAIGHT By Valeriano Avila (The Freeman) Updated August 19, 2011 12:00 AM Comments (0) View comments

There is no doubt that amongst all the members of Congress in Cebu, Rep. Rachel “Cutie” Del Mar is emerging to be very successful in bringing infrastructure development into the City of Cebu. Could it be because she is a woman? No doubt, my good friend, her father, former Rep. Raul Del Mar is giving her a hundred and one percent support, tutoring her in what our constituents need, especially in these times when infra funds are difficult to come by because of budget cuts from the national government.

Rep. Del Mar sent me a list of her projects. First is to complete the yet unfinished portion along the Foodland intersection after her Dad installed the flyover. This is the P150 million road widening and concreting of Gov. Manuel Cuenco Ave. from the Mahiga Bridge to the corner of Cabangcalan or Quezon Ave., which no doubt will ease the traffic congestion in the area.

This project is broken into two sections, P100 million for road right-of-way and P50 million for drainage system, curbs, gutters and sidewalks. Truth to tell, my only objection about this project is the reality that is happening to us today, which we wrote exactly a week ago, where the government pays for the expropriation of the roadside to widen the road, but when the project is finished, the people that the government paid up still park on the road with impunity because our traffic mangers cannot seem to enforce our laws.

Another vital project that Rep. Cutie Del Mar addressed is improving the drainage system along Colon and Junquera St. with a P7.960 million funding. I just hope that some of this money would be used to desilt the estero that runs in between Colon St. and V. Gullas (formerly Manalili St.). What good would giving a better drainage do when the estero or your main drainage has become too shallow. I already impressed this issue upon Mayor Michael Rama who told me that under his watch, they would deepen the estero.

Actually Mayor Mike can help the poorest of the poor in this project by hiring those “estambays” who are doing nothing but sit around all day. Give them a shovel and close portions (have a by pass section) of the estero so it can be deepened. That’s one way of fixing the problem. Incidentally in the last big rain the other day, floodwaters were already on the ground floor at the Gaisano Main.

Rep. Del Mar’s two flyovers are the most important infrastructure to be done in Cebu City under the Aquino Administration, although these plans were already put in place long before Pres. Gloria Macapagal Arroyo even became President. I’m referring to the flyovers at the intersection of M. J. Cuenco Ave. and Gen. Maxilom Ave., which, if my memory serves me right, we requested more than 10 years ago. This project costs P150 million for the flyover and P50 million for the road right-of-way and widening of the street.

Another project that was there a long time ago was the flyover along Gorordo Ave. This project was supposed to be at the intersection of Inmaculada Concepcion, but when the Sacred Heart School for Boys was transferred to the Canduman Campus, the traffic in that corner dissipated. Hence, this flyover was moved 800 yards to the north along the Borromeo Caltex Station or across the Asilo de Milagrosa Church at the corner of Arch. Reyes Ave. It will connect to the back of the USC Boy’s High School and eventually link up to a future tunnel under Gen. Maxilom Ave. beside the Iglesia ni Kristo compound. It will certainly make the Redemptorist Church closer to the north.

All told, these infrastructure projects under Rep. Cutie Del Mar brings to the North District of Cebu City a total of P1.182 billion, which includes P378 million regular infrastructure for DPWH and P46 million Priority Assistance Development Funds (PDAF) for the 46 barangays in the North District of Cebu City. What I would like to know is what are the other congressmen doing in their respective districts? Or how much infra funds are they contributing in the district for their infrastructure needs?

Rep. Cutie Del Mar maybe a political neophyte but in my book, her first year track record is phenomenal and I doubt if anyone including Rep. Tomas Osmeña can beat this infra record in their one-year stint in Congress. As we pointed out earlier, no doubt she is being tutored by her father former Rep. Raul and she is a fast learner. Kudos to Rep. Cutie for this well-received infra report.

--------------------------

cutie really does her work well. kahinumdum lang ko atong forumer nga ni ingon nga "weather girl turned congresswoman " ra kuno si cutie. well her track record and accomplishments speak for itself.. very good for cebu city north.

This is what exactly causes our urban problems. Politicians think they know everything
because the people gave them access to government coffers. They become enormously
self-important that they don't listen to people who know better (way, way better) than
them in terms of urban planning. Then they make these vanity press releases to glorify
themselves to the general public that know little of urban planning or the long term effects
of their actions to the development of the city. Add to that equally self-important media
that do nothing more than magnifying the whitewashed images of politicians because their
asses are too lazy to research (unlike their counterparts abroad).

Imagine the impact of these flyovers to the future BRT system. The value of properties in
their vicinity. Not to mention their effectiveness.

At this rate, I dare say we stop dreaming of becoming the next Singapore or Curitiba.

Ang imong heart, imong heart, chillax!

the flyovers are the in thing for cebu city who is known to have narrow streets. those were invisioned 10 years ago and will only be realized now. it seems that we needed more than just a flyovers. so lets wait for another 10 years before a new road infrastructure will be realized. thats how our public funding works anyways where ever you are unless ppp projects work on cebu side sooner.

our lgu's have to take risk nga mangutang kay mobalik raman gihapon na sa kataw-han ba in the form of taxes and increase income sa syudad. like some forerunners said layo ra kaayo ang cebu sa mga so called 2nd tier cities among asean countries kay mosugot man lang gud ta ug minantiner. puslan man nga mangutang dili ibutang sa dagkong projects nga dili sab ma outdated within 5 years like the flyovers which were envisioned 10years ago nga dili na diay paigo sa karon nga panahuna kay daghan na kaayo ang may sakyanan. ug dunay pan sab gani magpahuwam sa cebu, di we'll take advantage on that kay ni salig sila nato. ang lisod kon walay magpahuwam sa cebu looy kaayo ta.

you can only wish that brt is like a life and death situation that needs immediate resuscitation and voila implement right away. but feasibilty studies take time to get approved, funded and implemented. im seeing some disappointments on ssc cebu forerunners knowing that the study will last til 2013 and get started on 2014 to finish on 2015. and its only 2011:ohno::ohno::ohno:

2015... if thats the soonest possible time it can be implemented then thats good. i know cebu will be way ahead any other LGU's in implementing this mass transport system. 2015 cebu, and if its a success by 2020 other LGU's will have their own BRT then its all good.

SSC-cebu, especially the local-based forumers, are well briefed about BRT and cebu city LGU's action plan. we know the time frame. :)

If I am to count the years, 2010 -2014 will be about 4 years! I must tell everyone hear that this project is a "normal" government project, nothing more! Just like the other thread when we tried to count the number of years for two aerobridges to get done, almost the same number of years!

Hey Wanch, still remember me?

si Wanch diay ni?

Flyovers are 100% expensive but only 10% effective.
Dirty too!
just a "tooo short" term solution.
Nahuman og March ang flyover, ni lu-ag tuod ang dagan sa traffic pag March, April og May. Pag june, traffic gihapon hangtod karon (peak hours). Sa una wala pang flyover, matanggong ra kog pinakadugay 20 mins sa Mambaling tungod sa traffic, karon human na ang flyover, nakasuway na ko nga natanggong og 30 mins sa Mambaling. :bash:
Gi unsa mana nila pag huna huna? Bisag unsaon pa natog ingon nga naka sulbad nang flyovera, pero the fact nga wala gihapon nawala ang congestion is a waste of money. :bash:

Nag libog sad ko kung asa nila paagi-on ang BRT, sa flyover o sa kilid sa flyover.. :ohno:

since i spend most of my time on the road, akong observation lang ok, mga jeep man naka huot sa traffic. there are times mas daghan pa ang number of jeepneys kaysa number of pasaheros combined nga naa sa road. pero ang problema sad, during rush hour, mahibong sad ka mu nihit ang jeep, mu lu-ag ang dalan, pero ang mga commuters napud ang pwerteng luoya dugay makasakay. IMBA kaayo. (imbalance) hahaha
Edit: Mandaue City - Lapu-lapu City area :D

Maghimo ug express lane sa SRP sa biyahe walay tuyo sa siyudad
panahon "rush hour"..

The politicians (political elite as we call them), are placed there to serve the people, nothing more, nothing less. The people always and should always express their needs and demands to these people as they will be the ones to process those demands come up with outputs that respond to these demands.

Now, on the case of Cebuano congressmen, they should not be guided by their own knowledge about the situation of their districts, the Philippines is not like Indonesia that adopts the principle of "GUIDED DEMOCRACY" in which it is believed that the GOVERNMENT KNOWS WHAT's BEST FOR IT's PEOPLE. We are not Indonesia, every project, every coin they spend from the national coffers should and must be of great relation to the demands and the needs of the people.

I beg to respectfully disagree with you on this.

Try securing for yourself a copy of the "broken window fallacy" (Frederic Bastiat, etc.). You will understand that decision-making abilities of any politician depends on how much he/she knows about specific problems. It's totally wrong to say that elected officials' "knowledge" about the situations in their district should be set aside in favor of "populist" demands. If nobody is there to properly decide, where do you think the community will end up? IMO, leaders are there to guide people to higher heights. He/she may not be the initiator of a movement, but it is his/her responsibility to make sure things get done and those things serve the majority of the people.

Now, on the question of which project gets to be done: Since much is hidden, that most people do not see, it is built-in inside government public service that projects undergo scrutiny by NEDA (I mean big projects). NEDA has people to study which project is "feasible and doable" and prioritize things accordingly.

It is however a big problem on how to quantify intangibles and studies may not be able to consider the "public" aspect of projects. That is where samplings are done to feel the people's wishes. Mind you, most projects can appear good to go only to be a failure when completed. Such are the complexities in life and we have to live with these uncertainties.

OTOH, we cannot be blaming elected officials who make mistakes on these aspects. It shows that they are also humans. Besides, we get what we elect to public offices. Questioning the acts of elected officials is like questioning the people who installed those officials, unfortunately, you are one of them.

I wasn't one of those people who placed them into the post either. Even if I want to, I can't practice suffrage in national and local elections yet. Also, that book could be pretty expensive, but I'll try to even borrow one.

I can question them as much as I want, I'm entitled to that right. Anyhow, these statements won't make a single pinch on their policies.

The only thing I want is that they should also consider the opinion of the people. And though admittedly, the public are really to blame for the kind of politicos we have. Perhaps if only these officials consider also the "experts" of a certain problem like engineers for infrastructure and economists for economic scenarios as part of that, aggregation of public demand. I for one am really wanting a more stringent qualification for those who run for public office as they play a key role in the political system.

Basically, I have the same belief as what you have now when I was working for a company before. I was of the firm belief that leaders ought to be know-it-all persons. Until I realized, our new expat boss (in my other life before) was not a "college grad"! Later in my studies, I understood how leaders should be as compared to managers, good and desirable ones from the mediocre.

It seems people don't need to be very "intelligent" anymore. All a leader needs is to surround him/herself with the right people and proceed with everything that needs to be done; and never miss a schedule! I was taught that there are only five (5) qualities the owner wanted:
1) attitude,
2) more attitude,
3) some more attitude,
4) lots of attitude, and
5) a hell lot of attitude!

Hope we are clear on this.

Ah yes. Indeed, attitudes would matter the most. :)

Pardon me for my naivety for I am still yet a fully knowledgeable political scientist. Experience is yet to teach me the things that I need to have.

Truly though, in the end, it would be attitude of the leader that would matter. Leadership is, after all, being able to gain obedience from people not out of fear but of great respect and love and these two things are in the first place, earned and not demanded. Thanks for the words of wisdom.

Although, I would prefer to reserve my criticisms for these could and perhaps pivotal on the future policies of every politician. How I wished politicians are intelligent and at the same time, virtuous but ironically, it is not as it is in the Philippine setting. I am not generalizing all of them but I am singling out those who belong to those type of politicians I have been emphasizing. :)

Punta pushed as new site of int’l port (http://www.sunstar.com.ph/cebu/local-news/2011/08/21/punta-pushed-new-site-int-l-port-174360)
| More | By Elias O. Baquero and Rizel S. Adlawan

Sunday, August 21, 2011

A CEBUANO congressman proposed that the Cebu International Port (CIP) in Cebu City be transferred to North Mactan or Punta Engaño in Lapu-Lapu City, instead of Liloan town in northern Cebu.

Rep. Tomas Osmeña (Cebu City, south) attended the special board meeting of the Cebu Port Authority (CPA) that tackled a shipping company’s proposal to put up a regular shuttle bus and ferry between Hagnaya, San Remegio, Cebu and Bantayan Island.

Undersecretary Aristotle Batuhan of the Department of Transportation and Communication (DOTC), who presided over the CPA board meeting, said the agency considers Osmeña’s proposal worthwhile, because of the proposed construction of a causeway from Cordova to Kawit, Cebu City.

Metro Pacific, a holding company of business tycoon Manuel V. Pangilinan, is interested in constructing another bridge between Cordova and Cebu, Batuhan said.

“If a new bridge will be realized, North Mactan, where the proposed international seaport will be located, will be more attractive because of the proposed new international airport in Cordova,” Batuhan said.

Liloan
Osmeña reportedly said building the new international seaport in Punta Engaño would also complement his proposal to transfer the Mactan Cebu International Airport to Cordova town.

Liloan Mayor Duke Frasco said he was aware of the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) study that recommended Liloan as the new international port site, and believes his town remains the more feasible and appropriate location for the project.

He said the proposed port site is closer to the existing ports in Cebu City and the location itself offers a more natural protection against rough waves for the massive cargo ships.

Frasco said he can’t comment in greater detail on what the congressman said because he was not in the meeting, but he’s willing to give a presentation on why Liloan should be the location of the next Cebu International Port.

Capitol spokesperson Atty. Rory Jon Sepulveda said the CPA has the authority to decide where a port should be built and the Provincial Government will give them the benefit of the doubt.

He said they will comment on it when there’s already a decision.

Very raw
Osmeña and DOTC Secretary Mar Roxas met last Friday during the budget deliberations in Congress. Osmeña, Roxas and Batuhan then proceeded to discuss, over dinner, the proposals for the new international airport and seaport. Batuhan invited Osmeña to appear in the CPA board meeting the next day.

But CPA General Manager Dennis Villamor said Osmeña’s proposals have a long way to go and have to be considered by DOTC, CPA and Mactan-Cebu International Airport Authority (MCIAA).

“It’s still a very raw concept, but is being considered now,” Villamor said.

Osmeña supported the suggestion of Mayor Adelino Sitoy to transfer Mactan airport to Cordova town during the presentation of the study of the airport expansion by the Korean International Cooperation Agency (KOICA) last July 28.

Sitoy said that the airport will be nearer to Cebu City once transferred to Cordova. He mentioned the bill filed by Rep. Cutie del Mar (Cebu City, north) for a tunnel from Malacañang sa Sugbo in Cebu City to Cordova, passing through Shell Island.

CPA Commissioner Carlos Co pointed out that JICA, in its feasibility study for a new international seaport in Cebu, studied five areas.

These were Naga City, Cordova (which is also called South Mactan), Punta Engaño (also called North Mactan), Consolacion and Liloan.

Study

In 2002, JICA recommended the Consolacion-Liloan corridor as the site of the new international port, but the CPA shelved this project due to the high cost of pursuing a reclamation project for containerized cargoes.

Batuhan said the CPA wants JICA to fast-track its update on the feasibility study.

A JICA team will arrive in Cebu in the first week of September to update their study and Osmeña can meet them to explain his proposals, he said.

Villamor said that while JICA will update their feasibility study findings, the KOICA will also be tapped to study how to use the existing CIP and domestic ports.

Batuhan said the base ports may be put up for sale or long-term lease to the private sector and the proceeds may be used to help finance the new port constructions.

The undersecretary said that before Osmeña made his proposal, DOTC already obtained a grant from JICA and the Japan External Trade Organization to update the old feasibility study on a new international port for Cebu.

Cebu City dancers win in New York (http://cdn.ph/news_details.php?id=10838)
Cebu Daily News
8/21/2011

THE Cebu City Dancesport Team bagged 34 gold medals at the Empire State Dancesport Competition at Crowne Plaza Manhattan Hotel in New York on Aug. 11-14.

The team also grabbed 33 gold medals in the Nevada Star Ball Dancesport Championship at the Green Valley Ranch Hotel and Casino, Las Vegas, Nevada.

Cebu City Sports Commission Chairman Edward Hayco, Dancesports Team Cebu co-founder, said the team achieved more than what was expected.

“Because of the sterling performance of our team, they (judges) wanted us to perform before the professional level to make them see how we do it,” Hayco told Cebu Daily News.

“It feels like an amateur boxer being asked to fight in a Mike Tyson boxing main event. It’s truly an honor,” he added.

The events were participated in by at least 6,000 dancers from all over the world.

The City sent a 10-couple team to the United States early this month to compete in the two events.

“We never asked the city to bring us there but because they trusted us, they sent there and as our way of reciprocating that trust we kept on bagging some gold medals for Cebu’s pride and legacy,” Hayco said.

Dancesport Team Cebu has brought home at least 750 gold medals since it was founded in 1999. /By Edison A. Delos Angeles, Correspondent

Capitol eyes junking Petron as supplier (http://www.philstar.com/Article.aspx?articleId=719092&publicationSubCategoryId=107)
By Gregg M. Rubio/JPM (The Freeman)
Updated August 21, 2011 12:00 AM

CEBU, Philippines - The Capitol is eyeing an independent oil player to supply fuel for its vehicles following reports of lower prices than the major oil players in the country.

The Independent Philippine Petroleum Corporation Association (IPPCA) announced that their oil prices in Cebu are already the same or even lower than other parts of the country.

“I am seriously considering this now. We are getting our fuel from Petron because they have supplied us the pump and tank,” said Governor Gwendolyn Garcia.

Garcia learned from the Capitol General Services Office that there was an occasion they had to call Petron because the price given to them was higher than the pump price.

“Ang presyo nga gihatag nato sa gasoline mas taas naman hinoon kaysa pump price when we should be enjoying an industrial rate kay bulk ang ato palit,” Garcia said.

Garcia said she will now consider accepting proposals for those who may be interested to put up a pump and tank in the Capitol premises so that they will have the freedom of choice.

“Ganahan mi magkom-petensiya sila para kita maoy mabulahan, makakuha ta sa pinaka maayo nga presyo,” she said.

Garcia earlier complained before the Department of Justice against the big three oil companies in the country because of higher prices of petroleum products in Cebu compared to Manila and Mindanao. Garcia found that oil prices in Cebu are higher by P3 to P5 per liter.

With the “welcome piece of news” brought by IPPCA, Garcia said she leaves it to DOJ to decide upon her complaint.

Fernando Martinez, chairman and chief executive officer of Eastern Petroleum Group and the concurrent chairman of the IPPCA, congratulated Garcia for openly complaining against the huge disparity of oil prices in Cebu.

Martinez said that the entry of new players has brought down the prices of diesel in Cebu to the same level, if not lower by as much as 50 centavos, and almost the same in gasoline.

Garcia welcomed the news and said the Cebuano businessmen will be glad about it.

“I believe especially our business sector will be very, very happy with this including the riding public, including all of us motorists who have to load up on our vehicles,” she said.

Garcia said she now sees the benefits of having the fuel providers other than the three big companies.

“Whereas if you have these independent players coming in and they are now proving to be really quite competitive in an atmosphere where there is competition, it is the consumer that benefits,” Garcia said.

Quisumbing's bill to make doctors stay in the country (http://www.philstar.com/Article.aspx?articleId=719093&publicationSubCategoryId=107)
By Flor Perolina/MIT (The Freeman)
Updated August 21, 2011 12:00 AM

CEBU, Philippines - Alarmed with the decreasing number of enrollment in the field of medical professions here in the country, sixth district representative Luis Gabriel Quisumbing has filed a bill in Congress which seeks to make doctors stay in the country in order for them to continue looking after the health of Filipinos.

Quisumbing recently filed in congress House bill 5160 which aims to promote and strengthen the medical residency training programs in the Philippines.

In his bill, Quisumbing pointed out that aside from the dwindling number of enrollees in the field of medicine, there are also several doctors who are forgoing their medical education and trainings in order to pursue nursing abroad which has now caused crisis in the health service provision.

With this crisis in the health service, some government and private hospitals were reportedly hiring doctors to fill up the vacancies in their hospitals.

A survey conducted by the Department of Health also showed that among its retained training and teaching hospitals, 12% of plantilla position for medical residents remain unfilled.

“It is feared that with Filipinos opting for out of residency training, there will no longer be Filipino specialists in the future,” Quisumbing said.

He pointed out that doctors shift to work as nurses abroad, lured by higher pay because government doctors only receive a monthly salary of P19, 680 as medical officer III.

Quisumbing added that these doctors are also living in inhumane conditions, having to work sometimes for three straight days, missing their meals and sleep.

House bill 5160 seeks to upgrade the salary and benefits of doctors as well as upgrade the quality of their training.

Quisumbing said these could be made by creating an agency attached to DOH that would oversee and standardize the accreditation of specialists and sub-specialists, a task currently undertaken by specialty societies.

The agency shall also look after the welfare of medical residents and enforce the provisions of H.B. 5160, which seeks to provide a more decent salary and more humane conditions for medical residents.

HB 5160 also states that the minimum base pay of medical residents in government hospitals shall not be lower than salary grade 21. They shall also be entitled to overtime pay and night differentials pay for services rendered beyond eight hours.

Hazard pay shall also be given as stipulated under R.A. 7305 or the Magna Carta for Health Workers.

Quisumbing’s bill also stipulates that no doctors shall be allowed to go on duty for more than 16 hours straight except in extraordinary cases to be determined by the hospital administrator.

If this is approved, doctors shall also be entitled to one day off from hospital duty every week, or after 16 hours of continuous duty.

Lapu-Lapu soon to implement drainage master plan (http://www.philstar.com/Article.aspx?articleId=719123&publicationSubCategoryId=531)
By Jose P. Sollano (The Freeman)
Updated August 21, 2011 12:00 AM

CEBU, Philippines - The Lapu-Lapu City government will fast tract the implementation of the city's Comprehensive Drainage Master Plan designed to manage the city's runoff water due to rapid urbanization.

Lapu-Lapu City Mayor Paz Radaza said the city does not have rivers and streams that can cause flooding but there is a need for the city government to address the drainage problem due to the city's increasing development.

Some barangays which have encountered problems with the drainage include barangays Agus, Marigondon, Basak, Gun-ob, Poblacion, Pajo, Pusok, and Ibo.

As of now, we have implemented, albeit phase by phase, 20 percent of the Comprehensive Drainage Master Plan, Radaza said.

Radaza said the complete implementation of the plan will minimize, if not totally solve, the drainage problem in the city.

Radaza said the city government has quality infrastructures that create healthy investments and a business-friendly environment.

Radaza said that with the support of the city council, 40 projects are being implemented with a total contract cost of P134 million of which 25 projects have been completed.

Most of the projects fall under "Concreting of Roads and Building Constructions." (FREEMAN)

ug anha sa cordova ibalhin ang international airport will that impose a height requirement on tall buildings that will be built in metro cebu since cordova is closer to the mainland?

on cip adto sa punta engano, dili kaha na ma destroy ang mga container ships sa marine habitat dinhang dapita nga rich man kaha kaayo na ug marine resources dinhang dapita?
- THE LOSERS: Are developers in the area aware of these?
- THE WINNERS: Does somebody want the MCIA away from their property?

Is this related to the big reclamation project at the end of the MCIA runway?
Maybe? Did pink Hilton know about this?

...i'm proud of this Cebuaono Congressman...hope his proposed bill will be realized...soon!
Quisumbing's bill to make doctors stay in the country (http://www.philstar.com/Article.aspx?articleId=719093&publicationSubCategoryId=107)
By Flor Perolina/MIT (The Freeman)
Updated August 21, 2011 12:00 AM
CEBU, Philippines - Alarmed with the decreasing number of enrollment in the field of medical professions here in the country, sixth district representative Luis Gabriel Quisumbing has filed a bill in Congress which seeks to make doctors stay in the country in order for them to continue looking after the health of Filipinos......If this is approved, doctors shall also be entitled to one day off from hospital duty every week, or after 16 hours of continuous duty.
The main cause is the cost of education and the income level of doctors (forgetting the nurses Sir?).
However, several doctors from USA are returning home. The question of
regular duty hours are not expected on this profession everywhere.
Medical emergency is unpredictable as accidents, crimes, personal physical, fire,earthquake etc...
We all know Filipinos are globally known in medical field services.

Suprisingly, Medical Holiday, fine hospitals, doctors for healthcare across Asian countries
are in India, Singapore, Thailand and Malaysia.

How come? Philippines My Philippines where are you?

Is Luis Gabriel Quisumbing barking at the wrong tree?
Create new medical business rather than stiffling today's struggling economy
by creating more new rules. Imposing exisitng rules is a must.

I don't post much here anymore but reading this new proposal about building a new seaport in Punta Engano is just disgusting and stupid. I just hope Cebuano's are going to do everything to stop this proposal. It should be built as far as possible from Cebu.

thats only a proposal with no teeth kay mora ug dunay political motive behind it this project. look at the personalities involved mora ug imposible kaayo tuho-an. we'll just hope nga and pray nga dunay kasulbaran ang traffic congestion problem sa metro cebu kay ang street widening ug mga flyovers dina man paigo as possible solutions.

one way to look at it bai brodix is maybe we, the more senior forumers in ssc cebu, have already matured in terms of experience in the forum. we're no longer threatened by bashing because we have a lot of it before (remember valium?). in terms of updates/developments, there are actually more these days than before, and that makes it less exciting actually. there is an economics explanation/law that clearly explains it and it's called Law of Diminishing Marginal Utility. Simply stated, the more you will have of something, the lesser satisfaction/pleasure you will experience.

but we just hope that us seniors, you included, would still continue to visit this site and if ever there are situations that need our presence/opinion/help/whatever, we're still here... lurking! hehe! :)

Ok ra nang OT kung icebreaker ra sa discussion or at least naa sa'y sense. But if it extends to several pages and takes up a third or half of the thread (which always happens) imagine the inconvenience caused.

The intellectual level of discussions here at SSC are so much different from that of other forums like istorya or PEX, especially before. It's one of the reasons why I joined SSC. Now I'm in my pre-senior year, but I could still recall my lurker days way back sophomore high school. Lahi ra gyud kaayo tong sa-una.

@MatudNila I don't think the torta best describes the issue. "Magkadugay-magkalami" is different from "Magkadaghan-magkabidli".

i just heard it lately from the song of argao torta festival thats on youtube from pasigarbo sa sugbo 2011. bitaw lahi ang isyu sa una ug lahi sab ang isya karon so lisud kaayo i compare. like sleepwalker said its subjective sa tagsa2x natong forerunner and like you said maayo nang dunay gamay nga ot for icebreaker. but i feel ssc cebu thread is in a much better position than other threads nga gihimo nalang nila ug chismis ang ilang thread kay wala man silay laing mga infrastructure issues nga hisgutan which dili sab nato sila ma blame. i think cebu is just lucky that we have a variety of issues to talk about.:cheers::cheers::cheers:

super agree to this @matud
dapat ni support sila sa LRT ni Eddiegul.. especiallY along N. Bacalso ave., which is a major thoroughfare of metro cebu,
in which LRT maybe the best solution for the traffic along N.Bacalso, and maybe minimize cars,jeepneys..
i think from naga-liloan ang grabe ka congested of cars, ug taas2x jud nga stretch..
widening is not an option in this stretch.... so go LRT...
still hoping this will push through 10-15 yrs from now,
and hopefully, dli na mag samok2x si tomas...

Radaza to push Mactan north reclamation project
CEBU, Philippines - The proposed 400-hectare Mactan North Reclamation Project remains one of the priority projects of Lapu-Lapu City.
Mayor Paz Radaza hopes the project, which will be constructed on a Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) scheme, is realized during her term.
Four foreign investors have signified interest to undertake the P10-billion reclamation project, she said.

She said the city is preparing the necessary documents and at the same time scrutinizing the interested investors.
The project will rise from the waters off barangays Ibo, Buaya, Mactan, and Punta Engaño.
It is designed to cater to an international seaport, the expansion of the Mactan Economic Zone and tourism-related projects of the city.
Under the plan, three bridges will connect the proposed island to the mainland. (FREEMAN)
Why do they care? Are todays's investors inform that they do not have to take a cab to the airport.
It will be now on their yard. Probably that is why..the Pink Hilton Left before its too late.
The usual 10% "service fee" minimum is about ONE BILLION.
tHAT IS ABOUT A 1,000 OF ONE MILLION TO SPREAD AROUND.

Group to continue beautification, cleanliness project in Colon St. (http://www.sunstar.com.ph/cebu/local-news/2011/08/23/group-continue-beautification-cleanliness-project-colon-st-174698)
By Elly T. Bolonos
Tuesday, August 23, 2011

THE Women International League (WIL)-Hapsay Sugbu Foundation Inc. will continue its beautification and cleanliness drive on Colon St., Cebu City.

Tonette Pañares, of WIL, said their move is timely because Colon, the oldest street in the country, was frequented by floods lately because of incessant rains.

She said Colon, which was recognized by the National Historical Institute as a historical landmark, should be taken care of by Cebuanos.

This, after Cebu City was declared by the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean) as a City of Culture recently.

Pañares said, though, that WIL-Hapsay Sugbu Foundation now has partners in cleaning and beautifying Colon St.

Among them are the Garden Club of Cebu, Cebu Chamber of Commerce and Industry, business owners in Colon and other sectors, aside from the Department of Public Services and the Engineering Department of City Hall.

But Pañares said they still need the help and cooperation of the public to attain their goals in the near future.

“Kinahanglan gyud nga kitang tanan magtinabangay, dili kay isalig lang nato tanan sa gobyerno kay ato man ning problema (We cannot leave everything to the Government),” Pañares said.

Programs

The WIL-Hapsay Sugbu Foundation Inc. met with their partners yesterday in City Hall to plan their programs in the next three months.

This includes putting up the additional 20 obelisks on the whole stretch of Colon, completing the 52 markers WIL has envisioned on the street for the Heritage Walk.

WIL has already set up 32 heritage markers in some points of Colon St., which is already divided into three clusters, namely; Fuente de la Revolucion (from Pahina Bridge to Leon Kilat), entertainment and shopping centers (from Leon Kilat to D. Jakosalem Sts.), and heritage cluster (from D. Jakosalem St. to Mabini St.).

Pañares said they want the setting up of 20 obelisks to be finished on or before Nov. 30, 2011 when the Walk of History on Colon St. will be done.

Colon St. was once considered as the entertainment and business center in Cebu, where movie houses, grocery stores, and restaurants could be found, way before the malls opened in other parts of the city.

@slerz, pardon me but I don't see this one tree as a "centuries-old" tree. Unless, gihago-an ni siya ug trim ang mga gamot ug ang branches as in "bonzai", ingon ani gyud ang kahoy nga centuries old ug gidak-on?

Judging from the picture, we can see the inner rings of the tree looks rotten (probably termite-ridden) and could possibly pose dangers to pedestrians walking along the sidewalks. @matudnila is right in suggesting trimming of tree tops to lessen the possibilities of tree branches/trunks breaking and falling on people. Or, the city can support these trees with braces. Suggestions lang sab ning ako.

Murag gamai nalang siguro'y nahabilin ron nga kahoy sa Osmena Boulevard that dates back to the American Era. Or even wala na gani. WWII, mga bagyo.

Unsaon nga di matumba nang mga kahoy nga ang taga DPS ug Parks and Playgrounds Commission di man kahibaw mamutol. Tan-awa ragud na ilang pinutlan sa Osmena Boulevard nga gahandag mana tanan kahoy towards the carriageway. If they knew how to control the growth of the trees in the first place they wa na unta'y worries kung matumba or what.

Maayo unta to kung gi-integrate na unta sa design sa Osmena Boulevard improvement ang pag-stabilize sa trees.

But then our Parks and Playgrounds Commission is a sad excuse for a government body. Mga incompetent ang mga tao mao nang mga wala'y gamit. All they could do is trim those hideous Indian trees at the center island and make plant arrangements for government parties :ohno::ohno:

ang next nimong madunggan from city hall about incompetence sa ilang katungdanan is no budget (no budget ba nga ilang ma bulsa) :lol::lol::lol:

dugay nabitaw ko kakita sa picture sa jones avenue nga ang mga dahon sa trees sabagal kaayo sa mga driver nga ning hapit nalang gyud ning loy2x sa dalan. i schedule gyud na nila ug trim at least once a year unya i rotate nila asang dalan ang putlan ug mga branches kon wala man gani silay daghan empleyado or ila nang ipa consign sa mga gardeners para duna pud makahatag ug trabaho sa atong katawhan. ngari kanang landscaping sa mga dalan ug mga subdivision dako kaayo na nga opportunity nga maghatag trabaho sa mga small business

usa sa akong concern kanang grass sa fuente osmena nga morag hapit nalang bass imong makita kay napapas na ang mga green grass. 24/7 gyud unta ang pag atiman ana kay mao gud na atong main thoroughfare and famous attraction unya kon imong duolon in person mora ug so so ra kaayo dili nimo ikapanghambog nga puno man unta kini sa history.

Mamutol mana sila yearly but di man gud nila tarongon ug putol. Unknowningly they do not know the consequences of their unguided cutting to the growth of the trees. Ni-bawg ang mga kahoy kai ila mang putlong pirmi ang side sa trees facing the buildings para dili makasamok ang kahoy sa buildings. Ang nahitabo, naanad na hinuon ang kahoy ug tubo avoiding the building so it grows diagonally towards the road.

Trees should not be trimmed for mere utilitarian purposes but it should be a combination of utility and aesthetics. Trees could make a street not only walkable but also attractive. Examples: Pennsylvania Ave. in DC, Unter den Linden in Berlin and the Champs Elysees in Paris.

True there. That should be a part of their options. About the CIP, I don't really agree with transferring it to Punta Engano. Maybe somewhere else, it would require a really massive space to build such a port and not to mention the size of the ships that will be docking there. Dredging the area will be a plus cost on the part of the CPA.

regarding Osmena Blvd's beautification project, im with you that this is a very nice initiative and very much pleasing to our eyes. i just saw an eyesore though, the sidewalk vendors. i just hope that the lead for this project will also coordinate with big corporations to provide "presentable" stalls for these vendors. even in Singapore's Orchard road, there are still side walk vendors but their stalls/booths are also first-world caliber.

nindot na nga suggestion nga kanang mga vending stalls iya sa city para ma controlled nang ilang gipaninda and sigurado pud nga magbayad sila ug city tax. naay na may pre fabricated nga mga stalls nga ma hipus2x ug ma move nimo during nite time or kon mag street cleaning. mas nindot na sila tan-awon kon ibutang strategically sa sidewalk nga dili pud mag block sa flow of pedestrian traffic.

Krispy Kreme in Cebu this October 2011

Five years after Krispy Kreme set foot in the Philippines, the confectionary company immediately garnered its own niche leading to an extensive expansion across Metro Manila.

Krispy Kreme opened its 1st store at Bonifacio Global City in November 2006. At present, Krispy Kreme boasts of 23 stores that serve renowned melt-in-your mouth doughnuts and coffee.

“We achieved what the Americans have been feasting on since 1930’s—the famous Krispy Kreme doughnut line, best served after the hot light outside the store flashes on,” says Jim Fuentebella, Chairman of Krispy Kreme Philippines . “And we also experienced the long lines that people in the US do, every time a new store opens for business.”

In fact, what the Filipinos did was more than just a line. True to Krispy Kreme's passion for fun and excitement, the first customers get a month or even a year long supply of Krispy Kreme doughnuts. Thus, some camped near the branch hours and even days before the new store’s opening.

And this is probably the scene that Cebuanos should expect now that Krispy Kreme is about to land on the celebrated Queen City of the South.

“Bringing Krispy Kreme in one of the country’s most vibrant cities is just one of the results of our continuous expansion outside Metro Manila,” says Fuentebella.

Meanwhile, Mark Gamboa, Marketing Manager of Krispy Kreme Philippines says that the Krispy Kreme branch in Cebu will also offer wide varieties of doughnuts and beverages that made Krispy Kreme famous across the globe.

“We want to share the Krispy Kreme experience in our Cebu market thus we are bringing what the brand has to offer all the way down to the south,” says Gamboa. “From the world’s famous Original Glazed, yeast-raised and cake doughnut varieties, to our Signature Coffee and its different hot and cold variants—they can experience them all.”

Soon to be located in Ayala Center ’s The Terraces, Krispy Kreme Cebu is poised to be a sweet-destination-treat in the thriving Cebu Business District. Surrounded with sophisticated establishments, green landscapes and orchestrated water features, Krispy Kreme’s future location promises a relaxing yet refined surroundings of Cebu.

Larsian to get an upgrade (http://www.philstar.com/Article.aspx?articleId=720001&publicationSubCategoryId=107)
By Niña G. Sumacot/BRP (The Freeman) Updated August 24, 2011 12:00 AM Comments (1) View comments

CEBU, Philippines - The Provincial Government is planning to upgrade the famed barbecue place known as Larsian.

Governor Gwendolyn Garcia said they have been regularly monitoring the place and found out that the Coca-Cola Co., which offered to build the stalls, is not doing the necessary repairs.

“This is really important because Larsian has been part of Cebu. It’s a tourist destination,” Garcia said

Garcia said the plan includes constructing additional restrooms and drainage.

Moreover, they will address the problem on smoke by constructing better ventilation at the center of the place.

“I suggested mag-common ta og sugbaanan ug gwapohon nato. Made of bricks with enough ventilation para ma-confine ang aso,” the governor said.

The governor also thought of linking up with Obra Negosyo Skwela by letting the stall owners use smokeless and environment-friendly charcoal. The province also plans to put up a stall selling goods from various towns of Cebu.

The plan to upgrade the place came up when the group of Me Anne Alcordo of the My Shelter Foundation met with Garcia regarding their plan to promote solar bulbs and showcase them at Larsian.

“Ideal showcase ang Larsian kay naa’y operations during the day and kaning stalls instead of putting regular fluorescent bulb mahimong mogamit sa solar bulbs, maka us-os jud bayranan sa kuryente,” the governor said.

The group met with the governor, the president of the association of Larsian stallholders and Coca-Cola.

“And what I gathered was a lot needs to be done unta. Since 2007, Coca-cola tanan mihimo sa stalls, and duna silay exclusivity, ila ra gyung products. On the other hand I said wa man gyud na intawon ninyo gi-maintain and complaints of the stallholders were not really attended to,” Garcia said. Garcia said the comprehensive plan will be presented next week through Cebu Provincial Engineer Eulogio Pelayre.

“We will upgrade Larsian to become an attractive and cherished destination for all Cebuanos and visitors. Daghan na mo dihang memories, including the aso,” Garcia said.

Larsian sa Fuente, or simply Larsian, is a stretch of barbeque stalls that serve grilled meat and seafood. It is open from 2 p.m. until the wee hours of the morning. — (FREEMAN)

^^whether mo tuhop or dili, dili ta mo focus ana if we talk about floodings. Dapat mo focus ta sa drainage mismo. Padak an nalang diayg dretso ang drainage para mahuman ang problem kay sa anang imong suggestion nga bricks nga mahalon ang paliton para mo tuhop ang tubig para mawala ang bah, although naay gihapo'y ikatabang pagpa menos gamay sa baha but it cannot solve the floodings 100%... remember nga 50M ra ang budget anang beautification... so adto nalang na nato ihapak sa drainage system ang problema sa baha... IMO:yes:

Mosumpay lang ko kay nahinumdum ko sa concern re bricks nga mao kuno'y hinungdan nga matakilpo mga ladies nga mag stilleto (I think it was a lady forumer residing at the US now has a lot of feelings for Cebu). I think somebody warned the beautification group about that concern and perhaps as an offshoot of that concern, the beautification group decided to provide a firmer bricks base - just maybe!

Pero ug atong kwentahon ang area nga covered sa sidewalks, ikumpapar nato sa total catchment area, gamay raman siguro ang sidewalks including roads! Mora'g ang problema kung ting-uwan kay mas baga ang rainfall karon unya clogged up sad atong drains or kuwang na gyud sa capacity ang drainage systems.

^^Nindot pud baya na imo idea bai, nga tagaan pud og paagi nga makatuhop ang tubig uwan diha sa mga sidewalks.

Wa lang gud ko'y personal ma-suggest kay wa ko masuheto ana'ng mga ingon ana.

dunay bag ong concrete mix nga penetrable kuno kon mo uwan ug maka penetrate ang tubig adto sa yuta. i read it somewhere else nga puede magamit sa sidewalks but i dont know con available na ni siya nga material dinha.

"Pervious or porous concrete" ang tawag ana 'nyor. Aggregates plus cement plus copious amount of water, gamay kaayo sagul nga 'sand'. Pang parking area na nga mix. Pwede sad ug gamiton base layer sa bricks para mo-improve ang absorption factor unya ma limit ang pag lanaw sa area.

OTOH, bisan ug pervious imong concrete base ug wa gyud gihapo'y gihimong drainage canals, mo-back up gihapon ang tubig unya magbaha gihapon!

sa ila gitrabaho bai, overlay ra man ang ila bricks sa cement base, mao dili gyud katuhop ang tubig

pero even before the beautification drive, cemento na man ning sidewalk.
nahulog ra man ug gi-ilisan ang plain cement sidewalk into a brick style pattern...
so i dont think na tungod ani nag baha na nuon..

Good point there!

Gamay ra baya nang sidewalk pud. Di man siguro ta kaingon nga mao na'y hinungdan sa mga pagbaha diri sa ato. Ug gihurot pa ug cement hasta ang property sa ubang establishments diri sa City, mora'g tuo ko maka-ingon ta ana, pero di man na mao'y nahitabo.

@Parchie I agree. Whether it's stamped concrete or real unit pavers, dili ang sidewalks ang hinungdan sa flooding karon but a combination of an outdated storm drain "system" and changing weather patterns. Even if you cover the entire Osmena Boulevard with bricks naa gihapo'y flooding if the storm drainage system really sucks.

About the sidewalks, it would have been better if they used real unit pavers or "bricks" as it allows water to percolate through the ground, helping replenish groundwater. Saltwater intrusion in Cebu City has already reached Fuente Osmena, in a few years mu-abot nana sa Capitol, because of relentless pumping of groundwater unya dili ma-replenish tungod sa concrete cover and lack of open spaces and greens.

But nonetheless the faux brick pavement is an improvement from the previous surface of the sidewalks.

To distinguish, what you see at BDO Fuente are unit pavers. Those at Cebu Doc are real bricks. The new pavement is stamped concrete (with pebble washout). I guess it all boils down to the cost, since stamped concrete is the cheapest among these three.

In tandem

Most significant in efforts to promote Cebu is the collaboration of the Cebu Province and the Cebu City Government, which were better known to be on opposing sides in past issues.

In Sun.Star Cebu’s Aug. 17, 2011 report by Jujemay G. Awit, Garcia and Cebu City Mayor Michael Rama “pledged unity” to implement the facelifting of Osmeña Blvd.

Both officials attended the Aug. 16 assembly organized by the Beautiful Cebu Movement Foundation Inc. at the Sinu-log Hall of the Cebu City Public Library.

The drive to spruce up a historical and geographical artery of Cebu City seems to indicate a willingness to go beyond mere beautification.

Aside from presenting a sidewalk plan, the Aug. 16 assembly was also a consultation of residents, local leaders and establishments located along Osmeña Blvd. Problems needing solutions surfaced, such as peace and order and drainage.

Getting to the root of problems—street children, beggars, sex workers, rugby boys, snatchers, vandals, sidewalk vendors, flashfloods—requires will and collaboration among public and private stakeholders.

Drawing heavy traffic in the uptown area, Osmeña Blvd, particularly Fuente Osmeña, also attracts criminal elements that prey on the gullible and unwary.

It will take more than decorative lampposts and landscaped sidewalks to restore the neighborhood to a clean and well-lighted place.

Another Tropical Depression just east of Mina also strengthens more the Southwest monsoon bringing more rains to the Visayas and Mindanao including Cebu island. Another Depression just north of Mina is also developing.
A possibility that these systems will merge that will create a much stronger system.

More typhoons this August. The July month usually only have 3 typhoons maximum but this 2011 July month, a total of 5 typhoons affected the country.

Daghan kaayo @slerz ang mga hinungdan ngano nga magbalik-balik ang problema sa baha:

Una: Ubos ug elevation ang downtown nga mo-resulta sa gamay kaayo nga "slope" ug maghimo ka ug drainage canals or trenches. Kon mas dako ang hilig sa yuta (slope), mas dali mo-drain ang tubig.

Ika-duha: Ang solids sa waste water mo-clog sa canals ug drains. Ang sulbad: buhatan ug "silting boxes" nga dagko aron adto magtapok ang solids unya dali ra habwa-on.

Ika-tulo: Ang gidaghanon sa uwan gikan sa langit grabe karon! Ambot ug naa ba'y statistical data sa rainfall to prove this (ang slope sa rainfall data plot from NSCB 1993-2003 @ 0.183 mm of rainfall increase per month)

Ika-upat: Nagka-anam sad kadaghan ang mga luna nga kaniadto mga tanom ang naa; karon mga subdivisions na. Ang bungtod nga bahin ra ba gyud sa Sugbo!

Ika-lima: Di na paigo ang existing nga drains sa ciudad. Kinahanglan na gyud ilisan ug dako2x.

Kanang listaha, sa ako lang na siyang nakita ha? Unsa kaha'y ikapuno sa uban?

Honestly, ug gitan-aw pa ni daan sa mga opisyales sa ciudad kaniadto pa, ila na unta ni siyang gihimo-an ug grand drainage plan. Wa man gani ta'y "waste treatment plant"? Pero dugay2x na baya ang balaud sa Solid Waste Management, wa gihapo'y naka-comply! Susssmayra-ihungit!
