THE Philippine government has launched coordination efforts with the owner of the Portuguese-flagged MCS Aries ship after four Filipino seafarers and 21 other nationalities on board were captured by Iranian authorities while navigating the Strait of Hormuz, near the Gulf of Oman, on April 13.The Department of Migrant Workers, the country’s agency tasked to protect the rights and promote the welfare of overseas Filipino workers and their families, confirmed the capture of the ship and the Filipino crew onboard by the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Special Naval Force on April 14.“We are also in coordination with the Department of Foreign Affairs, the licensed manning agency, ship manager and operator to ensure the safety and well-being as well as work on the release of our dear seafarers,” the agency said in a statement.The government agency did not divulge the names of the Filipino crewmen in its statement, however, it assured the public that they had already informed their families.“What we are trying to do right now is establish communication with them. We are coordinating with the ship owner to establish a connection with the ship and with the seafarers,” DMW Officer-in-Charge Hans Leo Cacdac told reporters in Manila on April 15.“We just got word that they are safe on board. The ship is just anchored [in Iran],” he added.DMW assured the four seafarers and their families of “full government support and assistance,” upon the directives of President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.Meanwhile, Kabayan Partylist Congressman Ron Salo, chairman of the House Committee on Overseas Workers Affairs, said the situation involving the capture of the Portuguese-owned vessel has put the Filipino seafarers "in an extremely precarious position.""It highlights the continued vulnerability of our overseas seafarers who are among the most affected in any international conflicts,” Salo said in a separate statement on April 14.He lauded the DMW for its "swift response.""They have all worked diligently to reassure the families of the affected seafarers and for coordinating efforts aimed at securing their safe release,” the lawmaker added.As this developed, the Philippine Catholic Church has urged the Filipinos to pray and “implore our almighty God to touch the hearts of those who seized the MSC Aries to release them, for respect and promotion of rights and dignity of all MSC Aries crew and peace may reign at the Strait of Hormuz.”“It is sad news. Like their families, we too are worried for their condition. We are so concerned with their situation,” said Bishop Ruperto Cruz Santos of Antipolo, the Catholic Bishops' Conference of the Philippines promoter of Stella Maris-Philippines.“In this problematic situation, we turn to God for His mercy to keep our four seafarers safe, stable, and healthy. We trust our government officials for necessary diplomatic assistance and assurance to exhaust all means to bring them safely home,” the bishop said on April 15.Philippine state-news agency identified MSC Aries as owned by Gortal Shipping Inc., which is affiliated with Zodiac Maritime Shipping Company.IRNA News Agency of Iran said that Zodiac is partly owned by Israeli businessman Eyal Ofer.The recent capture of the international vessel continued to heighten the tensions between Iran and Israel following the latter’s attack on the Iranian consulate in Syria on April 1, which reportedly killed two IRGC top commanders along with several Iranian military advisors, according to the Philippine News Agency.The Philippines has remained the world's leading supplier of sailors, with over 489,000 Filipino seamen working on both ship passengers and cargo across the globe in 2022.

Philippines THE Iloilo City Government, through its Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council, has officially declared an outbreak of pertussis (whooping cough) during Monday’s emergency meeting, March 25, 2024.The declaration came following the recommendation of the Health and Sanitation Cluster headed by the City Health Office (CHO), which logged 15 cases of pertussis as of March 25, seven of which are confirmed and eight are suspected.Headed by Iloilo City Mayor Jerry Treñas, the council passed two resolutions, one is declaring on outbreak on pertussis and the other one, recommending to the City Council the declaration of a state of calamity due to the disease.The mayor said he will make an urgent request to the City Council, which is expected to hold a special session Tuesday, March 26, for the approval of the declaration.“We need to access funds coming from the calamity fund; we cannot access it unless there is a declaration of the state of calamity,” Treñas said.With the declaration, a proposed budget of P16 million has also been approved during the council meeting for the needed measures and responses against pertussis.A big chunk of the fund will go for the procurement of medicines and vaccines.“If necessary, we will add more funds,” Treñas added.CHO data showed that three of the confirmed cases are from Molo, two from Jaro 1, and one each from Jaro II and Arevalo.According to CHO Assistant Department Head Dr. Roland Jay Fortuna, a total of 26,000 children aged 0 to 59 months old from the districts of Jaro, Molo and Arevalo are projected for vaccination.“If we have an outbreak, we have what we call 'outbreak response immunization', that is why we need additional vaccines. For adults, pregnant women on their third trimester are also high-risk, so we will give them the vaccine also because there’s possibility that they may be a carrier and the baby who is not yet vaccinated will have a big chance to acquire pertussis,” Fortuna said.Meanwhile, the personnel of the Uswag Molecular Laboratory will undergo training for pertussis testing so the City will no longer send specimen to the Research Institute for Tropical Medicine.According to the CHO, pertussis, commonly known as whooping or violent cough, is a highly contagious respiratory infection caused by the bacterium Bordetella pertussis. In China, it is referred to as the "100-day cough. The incubation period is seven to 10 days.Individuals at high risk for pertussis include those who are younger than 12 months old, in the third trimester of pregnancy, have pre-existing health conditions, or have close contact with high risk.Symptoms include paroxysms of coughing, inspiratory "whooping," post-tussive vomiting, and apnea.It is transmitted through respiratory droplets. Preventive measures include respiratory hygiene, avoiding contact with unvaccinated or incompletely vaccinated patients, hand washing with soap and water or alcohol-based sanitizer, and droplet precautions in healthcare facilities.

(Leo Solinap/PR) What does the Philippines call soccer? THE “traffic mess” caused by the delay in the construction of the Cebu Bus Rapid Transit (CBRT) has prompted the Cebu City Council to call the attention of the transportation agency to expedite the completion of the mass transportation system project.The request was made through a resolution filed by Cebu City Councilor Rey Gealon, who also chairs the Traffic Management and Coordination Committee (TMCC). The resolution was approved by the Council during their regular session on Wednesday, Jan. 31, 2024.A copy of the resolution was sent to the Department of Transportation (DOTr) for its information and guidance.The move comes barely a month after other city councilors suggested reassessing the project’s viability with the view to possibly halting the CBRT project altogether, after saying that similar BRT systems in other Asian nations had failed to address traffic.In his resolution, Gealon said the delay in the construction of the mass transit system project had caused “unnecessary traffic congestion in the area resulting in longer trip times, loss of productivity, and even major impacts like damage to vehicles, and injuries to drivers and passengers.”He also said it has been creating a “traffic mess” and has financially affected the government’s financial disposition.“It is therefore requested that DOTr expedite the completion of the CBRT project to reduce the inconvenience and impact that it has on Cebuanos and all people traversing the road,” reads a portion of the resolution.The National Economic and Development Authority approved last November the extension of the implementation period of the BRT project until the end of December 2027.The DOTr had initially targeted to complete the entire project in 2025. Gealon stated in his resolution that the extension of the implementation period was due to the delays in design changes.Last November, SunStar Cebu reported that the project’s completion date had been pushed to 2027 due to changes in the design, including the inclusion of Package 4, which is a dedicated lane from Barangay Bulacao to Mambaling; extension of the alignment from Ayala to Cebu IT Park; a rotunda underneath the Mambaling flyover; and the conversion of a mixed traffic lane along the South Road Properties (SRP) coastal road and along F. Vestil St., according to BRT project manager Norvin Imbong.Current project statusAccording to a document uploaded on the World Bank website on Jan. 24, the project’s loan grantor has observed that over the last 12 months, the project has made notable progress, which includes the start of the construction of Package 1 of the project.The Cebu City Government broke ground on the project on Feb. 27, 2023 and the construction began weeks after that.Imbong said that as of Jan. 26, more than 10 months since the construction of the BRT started, the dedicated lanes for Package 1 are now 88.6 percent complete.Package 1 spans 2.38 kilometers from the Cebu South Bus Terminal (CSBT) on N. Bacalso Ave. to the front of the Capitol building on Osmeña Blvd. In a text message on Friday, Feb. 2, Imbong said they were now 25 percent complete in terms of putting up street lights and 22.5 percent for the drainage.Imbong also said they have now started the installation of the stainless steel frames for the bus station in the Capitol area.For Packages 2 and 3 of the project, Imbong said civil works will still be procured this year.Package 2 is composed of the routes from the Capitol to Cebu IT Park in Barangay Lahug and another route from the CSBT to the SRP.Package 3 will include routes from the Cebu IT Park to Barangay Talamban and from the SRP to Talisay City. It will also include a feeder line system which will run over mixed traffic, with two feeder terminals in 76 bus stops across Cebu City and Talisay City.The CBRT project is expected to cater to 60,000 passengers daily in its first year of operation, and up to 160,000 passengers once fully operational, according to the DOTr. / JJLFailureLast Jan. 10, Cebu City Councilor Jocelyn Pesquera said she wanted the council “to take a stand and stop the CBRT project” after saying the BRT system had failed to fully address the traffic and transportation problems of countries that already had them. Pesquera made the remarks after Councilor James Anthony Cuenco, committee on transportation chairman, in a privilege speech, urged the City Council to redirect efforts and resources toward finding “more viable traffic solutions” than the CBRT.Cuenco said the CBRT project was “manifesting the symptoms of the failed BRT systems in Hanoi, Vietnam; Bangkok, Thailand; and Delhi, India.”He said the installation of BRT systems on narrow roads means less space for those driving private vehicles, delivery trucks and motorcycles, which are the challenges now faced by other countries, and that the prolonged implementation period since the CBRT was first proposed in 1996 could now adversely impact the CBRT’s effectiveness.

THE Iloilo City Government, through its Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council, has officially declared an outbreak of pertussis (whooping cough) during Monday’s emergency meeting, March 25, 2024.The declaration came following the recommendation of the Health and Sanitation Cluster headed by the City Health Office (CHO), which logged 15 cases of pertussis as of March 25, seven of which are confirmed and eight are suspected.Headed by Iloilo City Mayor Jerry Treñas, the council passed two resolutions, one is declaring on outbreak on pertussis and the other one, recommending to the City Council the declaration of a state of calamity due to the disease.The mayor said he will make an urgent request to the City Council, which is expected to hold a special session Tuesday, March 26, for the approval of the declaration.“We need to access funds coming from the calamity fund; we cannot access it unless there is a declaration of the state of calamity,” Treñas said.With the declaration, a proposed budget of P16 million has also been approved during the council meeting for the needed measures and responses against pertussis.A big chunk of the fund will go for the procurement of medicines and vaccines.“If necessary, we will add more funds,” Treñas added.CHO data showed that three of the confirmed cases are from Molo, two from Jaro 1, and one each from Jaro II and Arevalo.According to CHO Assistant Department Head Dr. Roland Jay Fortuna, a total of 26,000 children aged 0 to 59 months old from the districts of Jaro, Molo and Arevalo are projected for vaccination.“If we have an outbreak, we have what we call 'outbreak response immunization', that is why we need additional vaccines. For adults, pregnant women on their third trimester are also high-risk, so we will give them the vaccine also because there’s possibility that they may be a carrier and the baby who is not yet vaccinated will have a big chance to acquire pertussis,” Fortuna said.Meanwhile, the personnel of the Uswag Molecular Laboratory will undergo training for pertussis testing so the City will no longer send specimen to the Research Institute for Tropical Medicine.According to the CHO, pertussis, commonly known as whooping or violent cough, is a highly contagious respiratory infection caused by the bacterium Bordetella pertussis. In China, it is referred to as the "100-day cough. The incubation period is seven to 10 days.Individuals at high risk for pertussis include those who are younger than 12 months old, in the third trimester of pregnancy, have pre-existing health conditions, or have close contact with high risk.Symptoms include paroxysms of coughing, inspiratory "whooping," post-tussive vomiting, and apnea.It is transmitted through respiratory droplets. Preventive measures include respiratory hygiene, avoiding contact with unvaccinated or incompletely vaccinated patients, hand washing with soap and water or alcohol-based sanitizer, and droplet precautions in healthcare facilities. (Leo Solinap/PR) licensed online casinos THE “traffic mess” caused by the delay in the construction of the Cebu Bus Rapid Transit (CBRT) has prompted the Cebu City Council to call the attention of the transportation agency to expedite the completion of the mass transportation system project.The request was made through a resolution filed by Cebu City Councilor Rey Gealon, who also chairs the Traffic Management and Coordination Committee (TMCC). The resolution was approved by the Council during their regular session on Wednesday, Jan. 31, 2024.A copy of the resolution was sent to the Department of Transportation (DOTr) for its information and guidance.The move comes barely a month after other city councilors suggested reassessing the project’s viability with the view to possibly halting the CBRT project altogether, after saying that similar BRT systems in other Asian nations had failed to address traffic.In his resolution, Gealon said the delay in the construction of the mass transit system project had caused “unnecessary traffic congestion in the area resulting in longer trip times, loss of productivity, and even major impacts like damage to vehicles, and injuries to drivers and passengers.”He also said it has been creating a “traffic mess” and has financially affected the government’s financial disposition.“It is therefore requested that DOTr expedite the completion of the CBRT project to reduce the inconvenience and impact that it has on Cebuanos and all people traversing the road,” reads a portion of the resolution.The National Economic and Development Authority approved last November the extension of the implementation period of the BRT project until the end of December 2027.The DOTr had initially targeted to complete the entire project in 2025. Gealon stated in his resolution that the extension of the implementation period was due to the delays in design changes.Last November, SunStar Cebu reported that the project’s completion date had been pushed to 2027 due to changes in the design, including the inclusion of Package 4, which is a dedicated lane from Barangay Bulacao to Mambaling; extension of the alignment from Ayala to Cebu IT Park; a rotunda underneath the Mambaling flyover; and the conversion of a mixed traffic lane along the South Road Properties (SRP) coastal road and along F. Vestil St., according to BRT project manager Norvin Imbong.Current project statusAccording to a document uploaded on the World Bank website on Jan. 24, the project’s loan grantor has observed that over the last 12 months, the project has made notable progress, which includes the start of the construction of Package 1 of the project.The Cebu City Government broke ground on the project on Feb. 27, 2023 and the construction began weeks after that.Imbong said that as of Jan. 26, more than 10 months since the construction of the BRT started, the dedicated lanes for Package 1 are now 88.6 percent complete.Package 1 spans 2.38 kilometers from the Cebu South Bus Terminal (CSBT) on N. Bacalso Ave. to the front of the Capitol building on Osmeña Blvd. In a text message on Friday, Feb. 2, Imbong said they were now 25 percent complete in terms of putting up street lights and 22.5 percent for the drainage.Imbong also said they have now started the installation of the stainless steel frames for the bus station in the Capitol area.For Packages 2 and 3 of the project, Imbong said civil works will still be procured this year.Package 2 is composed of the routes from the Capitol to Cebu IT Park in Barangay Lahug and another route from the CSBT to the SRP.Package 3 will include routes from the Cebu IT Park to Barangay Talamban and from the SRP to Talisay City. It will also include a feeder line system which will run over mixed traffic, with two feeder terminals in 76 bus stops across Cebu City and Talisay City.The CBRT project is expected to cater to 60,000 passengers daily in its first year of operation, and up to 160,000 passengers once fully operational, according to the DOTr. / JJLFailureLast Jan. 10, Cebu City Councilor Jocelyn Pesquera said she wanted the council “to take a stand and stop the CBRT project” after saying the BRT system had failed to fully address the traffic and transportation problems of countries that already had them. Pesquera made the remarks after Councilor James Anthony Cuenco, committee on transportation chairman, in a privilege speech, urged the City Council to redirect efforts and resources toward finding “more viable traffic solutions” than the CBRT.Cuenco said the CBRT project was “manifesting the symptoms of the failed BRT systems in Hanoi, Vietnam; Bangkok, Thailand; and Delhi, India.”He said the installation of BRT systems on narrow roads means less space for those driving private vehicles, delivery trucks and motorcycles, which are the challenges now faced by other countries, and that the prolonged implementation period since the CBRT was first proposed in 1996 could now adversely impact the CBRT’s effectiveness.
