THE Cebu City Government implemented an order to clear the toll gate in Beverly Hills Subdivision on Tuesday, March 12, 2024. While residents outside the subdivision welcomed the development, the subdivision residents are mulling to take the matter to court.The removal involved dismantling of the steel gate and removal of the gate barrier. The toll gate is situated between M.V. Regner St. and Monares St., which leads to Veterans Vilalge in upper Barangay Kalunasan.The order, signed by Mayor Michael Rama, states that the barricades, buildings, structures and contraptions placed by the Beverly Hills Homeowners’ Association (BHHA) are illegal and tantamount to public nuisance.Beverly Hills is an upscale residential subdivision located in Barangay Lahug. It is built on a hilly terrain that gives a good view of the city.The BHHA has maintained its position to keep the subdivision road closed to public access to maintain the security and privacy of its residents, saying the residents of neighboring subdivisions have “ample access to public roads in Kalunasan.”City Legal Officer Carlo Vincent Gimena, in an interview with SunStar Cebu, said the road should be open to the public. “The fact that [the] road networks [inside the subdivision] have already been donated to the City Government of Cebu, it’s the City who actually manages the roads,” said Gimena.Gimena said the road was donated to the City on March 17, 1976, with the tax declaration document submitted to the Cebu City Government. He said the deed of donation was entered into between Edgar Woolbright, then president and general manager of Beverly Hills Corp., and then Cebu City mayor Eulogio Borres.Beverly Hills resident’s reactionHowever, a male resident of the Beverly Hills Subdivision, who asked not to be named, said the deed of donation did not materialize due to the lack of authority from the Beverly Hills Corp. Council. He added that Beverly Hills Corp. has the land title and road lots under its name that will prove its ownership of the roads. He said they are mulling to file a case against the team that conducted the clearing operation. The BHHA members are also set to meet to discuss the issue.He also questioned the City Government’s ownership claim, saying the residents are the ones spending to maintain the roads. He said they implemented measures as to the entry of non-residents in the area due to theft cases in the past.Neighboring residents’ reactionWhile the residents inside the subdivision had negative reactions, those residing outside of it welcomed the development.Vicky Daganas, who lived in upper Kalunasan for 30 years, divulged her struggles entering the area. She said the demolition of the toll gate will benefit her and other residents.Neneng Delima, another resident, is also pleased as she can now resume jogging in the area.Other residents voiced frustration about entering Beverly Hills, citing excessive entry requirements. / RJM, EHP, BIPSU INTERN JAY ADOBO Philippine Ultimate Association Philippines GOING into the second Labor Day under the current administration, the Trade Union Congress of the Philippines (TUCP) on Saturday, April 27, 2024, questioned why President Marcos Jr. has continuously failed to meet with the labor sector.  In a statement, the TUCP asked the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) over the absence of any dialogue, especially during the annual May 1 celebration, between workers and Marcos.  "The TUCP is dumbfounded by the lack of labor dialogue even just once a year on workers' day, particularly, this May 1st.

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

GOING into the second Labor Day under the current administration, the Trade Union Congress of the Philippines (TUCP) on Saturday, April 27, 2024, questioned why President Marcos Jr. has continuously failed to meet with the labor sector.  In a statement, the TUCP asked the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) over the absence of any dialogue, especially during the annual May 1 celebration, between workers and Marcos.  "The TUCP is dumbfounded by the lack of labor dialogue even just once a year on workers' day, particularly, this May 1st. It has been two years into the administration of President Ferdinand R. Marcos, Jr., and there has been no labor dialogue set," said TUCP.  "Celebrating Labor Day would be a hollow ritual without addressing or even listening to the struggling workers’ pleas," it added.  On the other hand, the workers organization said they do not find any reason to celebrate the 50th year of Presidential Decree 442, or the Labor Code of the Philippines.  This, TUCP said, is despite the Labor Code being the issuance of Marcos' father, the late dictator Ferdinand Sr.  "Fifty years after its enactment, the Labor Code, a landmark social legislation of Ferdinand Marcos, Sr., has now become a relic and a dismal failure in delivering its promise of social justice," it said.  "This is due to the erosion through 50 years of the workers' Constitutional right to self-organization, collective bargaining, security of tenure, and just and humane conditions of work," added TUCP.  On May 1, the country will be celebrating the 122nd Labor Day.  According to the DOLE, a Labor Day event will be held in Malacañang in celebration of the 50th anniversary of the signing of the Labor Code of the Philippines. (HDT/SunStar Philippines) Philippine Ultimate Association
