SENATOR Grace Poe has pushed for the passage of a measure seeking to bolster standards for animal welfare and protection.In a privileged speech on Tuesday, March 19, 2024, Poe raised the need to beef up the country’s laws on animal welfare, which will establish a respectful coexistence with animals by improving their living conditions.She also asserted the need for a "whole of community" approach to end animal cruelty and promote their welfare.Poe earlier filed Senate Bill 2458, which seeks a revised Animal Welfare Act to strengthen animal welfare standards, policies, rules and regulations, implementation and enforcement as well as provide tougher penalties to violators.The proposed measure will amend and reinforce the original law, Republic Act (RA) 8485, as amended by RA 10631, which is considered a landmark in legislation."Recognizing the urgency and enormity around animal cruelty and neglect calls for all hands on deck," Poe said.Under the measure, Department of Agriculture (DA) will be mandated to create a proper bureau to address animal welfare issues, which will be given sufficient budget and permanent personnel to enable it to be more effective in implementing and enforcing policies.It will also capacitate local officers to address the animal welfare issues with dispatch through the creation of Barangay Animal Welfare Task Force.Poe urged the Department of the Interior and Local Government to include efforts to address animal welfare issues as one of the metrics for awarding the seal of good governance to a municipality.The senator mentioned several stories depicting the heroism of animals such as the dog, Yugo, who defended his human family from a snake attack in Panabo City, Davao. In Zamboanga, Kabang, a stray puppy adopted by a family, shielded the kids crossing the street from a vehicle. The dog, however, suffered extensive injuries."Sadly, despite their worth and value to human society, and the existence of laws criminalizing cruelty to animals, many of them are still maltreated, neglected, and even tortured," said Poe.Poe also expressed outrage over the fatal mauling of Killua, a golden retriever, who was killed by his fur-parent's neighbor.The suspects claimed that Killua chased his child but based on a CCTV video, his actions were fraught with excessive violence and that it was Killua who was being chased.Under Animal Welfare Act of 1998, amended by Republic Act 10631, “it shall be unlawful for any person to torture any animal, to neglect to provide adequate care, sustenance of shelter, or maltreat any animal or to subject any dog or horse to dogfights or horse fights, kill or cause or procure to be tortured or deprived of adequate care, sustenance or shelter, or maltreat or use the same in research or experiments not expressly authorized by the Committee on Animal Welfare.”Senate President Juan Miguel Zubiri, for his part, committed to make the Revised Animal Welfare Act a priority measure of the Senate.

Gwendolyn Garcia has urged the National Museum of the Philippines (NMP) to meet with the Provincial Government within the week to discuss the return of the stolen pulpit panels from a heritage-declared church in Boljoon town.Garcia clarified in a press conference Tuesday, April 2, 2024, that she does not have the right to demand action from NMP, but she can call them out to take the Province’s concerns seriously. Garcia was responding to the NMP’s reply letter dated April 2, signed by its director general Jeremy Barnes, in which Barnes agreed with Capitol’s earlier proposal to visit Cebu and hold a dialogue, but set April 30 as the date of their dialogue, due to the National Museum officials’ prior commitments overseas.Garcia, however, said the NMP’s reply has been long overdue and the Province’s concerns were not taken seriously, since she first sent out the request letter last Feb. 27. Legal remediesShe said the NMP responded only after receiving a separate letter on Monday, April 1, which included an additional paragraph saying that the Provincial Government would pursue all legal remedies to recover the stolen items.The NMP, for its part, said it was not able to reply after assuming that the recent visit of the chairperson of its Board of Trustees (BOT) Andoni Aboitiz to the Governor’s office would suffice as a reply.Garcia said the stolen panels were discussed during Aboitiz’s visit; however, it does not constitute an official reply to their request. The panels, missing since they were reported stolen from Boljoon Church in the 1980s, resurfaced last Feb. 14 when they were donated to the NMP by a private individual as “a gift to the nation.”Garcia added that the Office of the Solicitor General (OSG) has issued a comment to the National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA) requesting a legal opinion regarding the stolen pulpit panels. The OSG commented that the NMP can be held criminally liable under the Anti-Fencing Law due to the national museum’s possession and claiming of ownership of the stolen religious artifacts owned by the Cebu Archdiocese. Meanwhile, the Cebu Provincial Board approved on Monday a resolution authorizing Garcia to file cases against the NMP, according to a social media post of Vice Governor Hilario Davide III.Provincial Board Members Andrei Duterte and Stanley Caminero, author and co-author of the resolution, also authorized the governor to file cases against individuals who kept the panels after they were stolen. However, Garcia clarified that the provincial government has not yet decided to file cases as she wants to prioritize a collaborative approach with the NMP. On the other hand, the legal consultants to the Capitol Rory Jon Sepulveda and Ben Cabrido said the Provincial Legal Officer has drafted possible administrative and criminal cases, including involving the Anti-Fencing Law or Presidential Decree 1612, against NMP’s officials if they fail to collaborate with the provincial government and insist on claiming ownership of the pulpit panels.

CONSUMERS are urged to conserve water as production at Metropolitan Cebu Water District’s (MCWD) surface water facility reaches critical level, losing at least 29,000 cubic meters per day (CMD) due to the ongoing dry spell caused by El Niño.That’s 4,000 CMD more than what the water district reported last March 5, 2024.In a press conference held at the MCWD’s surface water facility in Barangay Jaclupan in Talisay City on Wednesday, March 13, MCWD chairman Jose Daluz III said the water district faces a water production deficit, affections portions of the cities of Cebu, Mandaue, Lapu-Lapu and Talisay.Daluz said the reductions have occurred across various surface water facilities.In Jaclupan and in the mountain barangay of Lusaran, Cebu City, production has dropped from 30,000 CMD to 20,000 CMD, while production at the Buhisan Dam has fallen to 4,000 CMD from 6,000 CMD.Under normal circumstances, MCWD produces 301,000 CMD, but production is down to 272,000 CMD.Daluz said as part of MCWD’s intervention, they are delivering water to upland areas that are experiencing intermittent water supply.MCWD general manager Edgar Donoso urged the directly affected consumers to conserve water due to the limited supply.Donoso said the production deficit has affected a total of 35,000 households from all service areas.MCWD provides water to the cities of Cebu, Mandaue, Lapu-Lapu and Talisay, and the towns of Cordova, Consolacion, Liloan and Compostela.Donoso said the impact of the El Niño extends beyond surface water to include groundwater, although the effects on groundwater are unnoticeable.Meanwhile, Daluz also associated MCWD’s challenges to the non-issuance of excavation permits, which they need for the sourcing and distribution of line projects and leak repairs.Edgar Ortega, MCWD assistant general manager for operation, said that despite the dry spell, the water district does not need to ration water in affected areas.Ortega said they have eight tankers that will be used to deliver water in areas where the water cannot reach due to low pressure.He said they currently deliver water to Barangay Lagtang, Maghaway and Pooc in Talisay City; Sitios Maracas and Sudlon in Barangay Lahug and Sitio Banawa in Barangay Guadalupe in Cebu City; and Barangays Cabancalan, Maguikay and Umapad in Mandaue City.In an interview with “Beyond the Headlines,” SunStar Cebu’s online news and commentary program, on Tuesday, March 12, MCWD spokesperson Minerva Gerodias said they expect the delivery of 30,000 CMD of desalinated water from three sources starting in April.“That is why we are hoping additional water sources, those desalinated water projects, can provide initial deliveries next month,” she said.She said the supply will come from the desalination plants in Barangay Opao, Mandaue City, Barangay Mambaling Cebu City, and Cordova town on Mactan Island.She clarified that these are only initial deliveries since the plants in Barangays Mambaling and Opao can each produce 25,000 cubic meters when fully functional, while the plant in Cordova can produce 20,000 cubic meters.“But, hopefully, these initial deliveries are already of big help,” she said.Gerodias said the additional 30,000 CMD will be just enough to augment the water shortage of 29,000 CMD.MCWD is currently “balancing the distribution,” meaning areas with complete water service share their water with areas experiencing intermittent or no water.“Our production department will do something about it so that we can at least balance our available supply. For example, those who are receiving full 24-hour service, will now have 22 or 20 hours instead. So the other supply will be given to the less,” she said.Gerodias said water tankers are on standby to provide aid to areas that do not have any water supply.Unlike in the past, she said they will not ask residents to form lines to receive water. Instead, they will directly inject the water from the tankers into the distribution lines for safety reasons, she said.This method will ensure that the distribution of water is accurately accounted for, she said. If water is manually distributed, it cannot be metered, which results in non-revenue water.Gerodias said they are taking this step to ensure the water supply is not interrupted, but the water pressure may be reduced.Gerodias is urging the public to conserve water and to avoid wastage. She emphasized the need for everyone to practice water-saving measures so there will be enough supply to cater to all consumers.Although they cannot shut down carwashes, Gerodias appealed to these establishments to reduce their water pressure to avoid unnecessary wastage.“We encourage prudent use of water. I think it is our responsibility, not only during the El Niño but every day... We hope the public to responsibly use the water, particularly that we are short on supply,” she said.Alfredo Quiblat Jr., chief of Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) Visayas, earlier announced that Cebu has officially been under a dry spell since the last week of February.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. The El Niño phenomenon leads to decreased precipitation or, in some cases, a complete absence of rainfall, which can significantly impact crop yields and pose various environmental and economic challenges.Pagasa also warns that the phenomenon may persist until the end of May. / AML, KJF

Sepulveda and Cabrido, however, said it is up to the governor to decide whether to pursue the legal cases. / EHP licensed online casinos CONSUMERS are urged to conserve water as production at Metropolitan Cebu Water District’s (MCWD) surface water facility reaches critical level, losing at least 29,000 cubic meters per day (CMD) due to the ongoing dry spell caused by El Niño.That’s 4,000 CMD more than what the water district reported last March 5, 2024.In a press conference held at the MCWD’s surface water facility in Barangay Jaclupan in Talisay City on Wednesday, March 13, MCWD chairman Jose Daluz III said the water district faces a water production deficit, affections portions of the cities of Cebu, Mandaue, Lapu-Lapu and Talisay.Daluz said the reductions have occurred across various surface water facilities.In Jaclupan and in the mountain barangay of Lusaran, Cebu City, production has dropped from 30,000 CMD to 20,000 CMD, while production at the Buhisan Dam has fallen to 4,000 CMD from 6,000 CMD.Under normal circumstances, MCWD produces 301,000 CMD, but production is down to 272,000 CMD.Daluz said as part of MCWD’s intervention, they are delivering water to upland areas that are experiencing intermittent water supply.MCWD general manager Edgar Donoso urged the directly affected consumers to conserve water due to the limited supply.Donoso said the production deficit has affected a total of 35,000 households from all service areas.MCWD provides water to the cities of Cebu, Mandaue, Lapu-Lapu and Talisay, and the towns of Cordova, Consolacion, Liloan and Compostela.Donoso said the impact of the El Niño extends beyond surface water to include groundwater, although the effects on groundwater are unnoticeable.Meanwhile, Daluz also associated MCWD’s challenges to the non-issuance of excavation permits, which they need for the sourcing and distribution of line projects and leak repairs.Edgar Ortega, MCWD assistant general manager for operation, said that despite the dry spell, the water district does not need to ration water in affected areas.Ortega said they have eight tankers that will be used to deliver water in areas where the water cannot reach due to low pressure.He said they currently deliver water to Barangay Lagtang, Maghaway and Pooc in Talisay City; Sitios Maracas and Sudlon in Barangay Lahug and Sitio Banawa in Barangay Guadalupe in Cebu City; and Barangays Cabancalan, Maguikay and Umapad in Mandaue City.In an interview with “Beyond the Headlines,” SunStar Cebu’s online news and commentary program, on Tuesday, March 12, MCWD spokesperson Minerva Gerodias said they expect the delivery of 30,000 CMD of desalinated water from three sources starting in April.“That is why we are hoping additional water sources, those desalinated water projects, can provide initial deliveries next month,” she said.She said the supply will come from the desalination plants in Barangay Opao, Mandaue City, Barangay Mambaling Cebu City, and Cordova town on Mactan Island.She clarified that these are only initial deliveries since the plants in Barangays Mambaling and Opao can each produce 25,000 cubic meters when fully functional, while the plant in Cordova can produce 20,000 cubic meters.“But, hopefully, these initial deliveries are already of big help,” she said.Gerodias said the additional 30,000 CMD will be just enough to augment the water shortage of 29,000 CMD.MCWD is currently “balancing the distribution,” meaning areas with complete water service share their water with areas experiencing intermittent or no water.“Our production department will do something about it so that we can at least balance our available supply. For example, those who are receiving full 24-hour service, will now have 22 or 20 hours instead. So the other supply will be given to the less,” she said.Gerodias said water tankers are on standby to provide aid to areas that do not have any water supply.Unlike in the past, she said they will not ask residents to form lines to receive water. Instead, they will directly inject the water from the tankers into the distribution lines for safety reasons, she said.This method will ensure that the distribution of water is accurately accounted for, she said. If water is manually distributed, it cannot be metered, which results in non-revenue water.Gerodias said they are taking this step to ensure the water supply is not interrupted, but the water pressure may be reduced.Gerodias is urging the public to conserve water and to avoid wastage. She emphasized the need for everyone to practice water-saving measures so there will be enough supply to cater to all consumers.Although they cannot shut down carwashes, Gerodias appealed to these establishments to reduce their water pressure to avoid unnecessary wastage.“We encourage prudent use of water. I think it is our responsibility, not only during the El Niño but every day... We hope the public to responsibly use the water, particularly that we are short on supply,” she said.Alfredo Quiblat Jr., chief of Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) Visayas, earlier announced that Cebu has officially been under a dry spell since the last week of February.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. The El Niño phenomenon leads to decreased precipitation or, in some cases, a complete absence of rainfall, which can significantly impact crop yields and pose various environmental and economic challenges.Pagasa also warns that the phenomenon may persist until the end of May. / AML, KJF

Gambling in the Philippines 2023 – the Latest Trends

CEBU Gov. Gwendolyn Garcia has urged the National Museum of the Philippines (NMP) to meet with the Provincial Government within the week to discuss the return of the stolen pulpit panels from a heritage-declared church in Boljoon town.Garcia clarified in a press conference Tuesday, April 2, 2024, that she does not have the right to demand action from NMP, but she can call them out to take the Province’s concerns seriously. Garcia was responding to the NMP’s reply letter dated April 2, signed by its director general Jeremy Barnes, in which Barnes agreed with Capitol’s earlier proposal to visit Cebu and hold a dialogue, but set April 30 as the date of their dialogue, due to the National Museum officials’ prior commitments overseas.Garcia, however, said the NMP’s reply has been long overdue and the Province’s concerns were not taken seriously, since she first sent out the request letter last Feb. 27. Legal remediesShe said the NMP responded only after receiving a separate letter on Monday, April 1, which included an additional paragraph saying that the Provincial Government would pursue all legal remedies to recover the stolen items.The NMP, for its part, said it was not able to reply after assuming that the recent visit of the chairperson of its Board of Trustees (BOT) Andoni Aboitiz to the Governor’s office would suffice as a reply.Garcia said the stolen panels were discussed during Aboitiz’s visit; however, it does not constitute an official reply to their request. The panels, missing since they were reported stolen from Boljoon Church in the 1980s, resurfaced last Feb. 14 when they were donated to the NMP by a private individual as “a gift to the nation.”Garcia added that the Office of the Solicitor General (OSG) has issued a comment to the National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA) requesting a legal opinion regarding the stolen pulpit panels. The OSG commented that the NMP can be held criminally liable under the Anti-Fencing Law due to the national museum’s possession and claiming of ownership of the stolen religious artifacts owned by the Cebu Archdiocese. Meanwhile, the Cebu Provincial Board approved on Monday a resolution authorizing Garcia to file cases against the NMP, according to a social media post of Vice Governor Hilario Davide III.Provincial Board Members Andrei Duterte and Stanley Caminero, author and co-author of the resolution, also authorized the governor to file cases against individuals who kept the panels after they were stolen. However, Garcia clarified that the provincial government has not yet decided to file cases as she wants to prioritize a collaborative approach with the NMP. On the other hand, the legal consultants to the Capitol Rory Jon Sepulveda and Ben Cabrido said the Provincial Legal Officer has drafted possible administrative and criminal cases, including involving the Anti-Fencing Law or Presidential Decree 1612, against NMP’s officials if they fail to collaborate with the provincial government and insist on claiming ownership of the pulpit panels. Sepulveda and Cabrido, however, said it is up to the governor to decide whether to pursue the legal cases. / EHP Top Legit Casino Sites for 2022
