Cebu City warns businesses, individuals overpricing water and fuel

Cebu City warns businesses, individuals overpricing water and fuel

“What is being required is the utmost showing and demonstration of Barangayan, Bayanihan and Boluntarismo. Let’s all help, let’s not take advantage of others. There are laws that will take care of that,” – Mayor Michael Rama.

The resiliency of Cebuanos amidst the aftermath of Typhoon Odette is commendable but there are also others who are taking advantage of the sad and dire situation.

In the crisis of drinking water and fuel, some resellers and distributors are selling them at unreasonably high prices.


On drinking water in particular, the Cebu City Mayor Michael Rama has instructed the Business Permit and Licensing Office (BPLO) to monitor its distribution and selling as it is causing more distress to the residents of Cebu.

Pictures are being posted on social media that some are being sold at P1k-P2k per gallon which is just too much and too cruel. People who have encountered this are now urged to report this to the city government or directly to the Department of Trade and Industries (DTI). 

The Cebu City government on Dec. 20 are now warning businesses that business permits may be revoked if they will be caught and proven to be selling overpriced water, food and fuel.

Violation of RA 7394

Overpricing is also an illegal act during a crisis according to the Republic Act No. 7394 also known as The Consumer Act of the Philippines.

As stated in the act, it is illegal taking advantage of the consumer’s general conditions of the environment or surroundings, in this case the state of calamity the city is in. It induces the consumer to enter into sales grossly inimical to the interests of the consumer or grossly one-sided in favor of the distributor, supplier or seller.

Bangon Cebu will only be possible if we help each other out and not be selfish. We can do this Sugbo.

Davao Light sends 30-strong team to help restore power in Cebu

Help is here!

Davao Light and Power Co., the sister company of the Visayan Electric Company (VECO), has sent 30-strong organic and contractor linemen to the VECO Engineering Office in Cebu City on Sunday.

This is to speed up the power restoration activities in Cebu which was badly hit by Super Typhoon Odette last Thursday, December 16. They will help in clearing and energy restoration efforts in Visayan Electric’s franchise area.

Central Visayas is among the seven regions in the country where areas hardest hit by Odette, the Philippines’ 15th tropical cyclone in 2021 and the deadliest storm this year. Packing 195-kilometer-per-hour winds, the giant storm, with international name “Rai”, made eight landfalls as it barreled its way through Mimaropa (Mindoro Oriental, Marinduque, Romblon and Palawan); Eastern, Central and Western Visayas; Northern Mindanao; and Caraga.

Three days after Typhoon Odette wrecked the island, thousands of people in Cebu appealed for food, water, and electricity. To date, civilians are also still struggling to get a mobile signal, gasoline for generators and automobiles, and it is still even hard to pass through some roads especially in the south.

LOOK: 17.5-hectare Ayala Gatewalk Central in Mandaue City

A new Ayala Land project is about to spice things up in Mandaue City.  Ayala Land and the Aboitiz Group plans to develop a joint project that will stand as the city’s dynamic center, the Ayala Gatewalk Central.

Ayala Gatewalk Central is a 17.5-hectare estate that will stand in Subangdaku, Mandaue City. It is a project that does not only show progress but also highlights the development of sustainable and environment-friendly spaces especially in a city with only a few distinct attractions.

According to Bobby Dy, Ayala Land President and CEO, this multi-billion peso investment is a display of his confidence in Mandaue City as one of the emerging cities in the region. The hub will include a network of wide pedestrian streets and vibrant streetscapes that will be a center for gathering and other events occurring within the city.

“We are very excited about this development. Once completed, its character and features is something that the local market has never seen before,”

MAIN FEATURES

  • 30-meter wide pedestrian-only street

The main feature will be a 30-meter wide pedestrian-only street that will link together office buildings, residential areas, family parks, retail selections and the Ayala Mall. The residential areas are targeted to provide shelter to young professionals and families.

  • Gatewalk Avenue

The Gatewalk Avenue will be the dining and retail area equipped with repurposed shipping containers. These will be boutique spaces that will cater to the retail and startup businesses in Mandaue to advertise local brands in the area.

  • Garden District

It will also have a Garden District that will serve as a transition to the indoors and outdoors. It will contain a seating area, lawn, and a street space with continuous shade on both sides provided by tree canopies. Twenty-percent of the development will comprise of green and open spaces that feature interactive works, recreational spaces, and socio-cultural areas, all complete with outdoor seating.

ACCESSIBLE TO ALL

Ayala Gatewalk Central will be big enough to include a full-service transportation hub that would be convenient for traveling inside with stops that will be placed in the most strategic points in the estate. This makes the entire hub accessible to all even to those without private vehicles.

At the onset of the construction, the project is estimated to generate about 1,300 jobs in Mandaue. Upon completion of the mall and offices, the number may rise to about 9,000 jobs in total.

The Ayala Gatewalk Central is just one of Ayala Land’s progressive projects. It will become a significant catalyst to the growth of Mandaue City with its carefully planned and multi-use community abundant with topnotch commercial and residential buildings that converge with green and open spaces.

The project will merge business and lifestyle in an eco-friendly setting. It will be a first-class facility that will put Mandaue on the map as one of the growing cities in the region and in the country.

Ayala Gatewalk Central was initially targeted to complete by 2019. However, its target completion has been moved to the second half of 2021.

Brief history of lechon

Lechon is derived from the Spanish word leche, meaning milk. Before, people used to grill young pigs that were still nursing milk from their mothers, however the popularity of using bigger pigs rose during the Spanish era. 

In Cebu, the Garces family, owner of Ruthy’s lechon, were believed to have the first lechon recipe in Cebu. However, it is not yet proven as the popularity of lechon rapidly rose in Cebu.

LOOK: Cebuana artist-teacher’s art recognized internationally

They say art is a reflection of an artist’s feelings.

With a passion for art, Bethram Dacuma, an artist-teacher from Toledo City, Cebu shared on her social media account her interpretation of trauma, struggle, and pain through her art in oil painting. 

Photo from Bethram Dacuma’s Instagram Account

Dacuma shared in her social media account her art named “Honey Series” which she posted last July.  

According to Dacuma in an Inquirer article that her painting portrays the “struggle of people suffering from mental health problems and as a result of their sorrowful face with pouring honey, their mind eats them apart.”

The inspiration behind her art is her traumatic experience when she had a motorcycle accident last year. The tragic event made her work on her art, however instead of painting blood, she decided to paint something different. 

She said that she used honey as a reminder for people that love isn’t always easy. That the flow of life is unpredictable. 

She also inspires people, especially those suffering from mental health to not give up.

Dacuma’s art was recognized internationally in other countries such as the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, and the US.
