Ghost Fighter to stream on Netflix this June

I’m definitely marking my calendar for this update!

On June 26, “Yu Yu Hakusho: Ghost Files” will be arriving on Netflix. This show adapted the manga of the same name by Yoshihiro Togashi in 1992. In 1999, it was aired on GMA Network entitled “Ghost Fighter.”

This story is about Yusuke Urameshi, or better known to us as Eugene, a teenage delinquent who is struck and killed by a car trying to save a child’s life. He was then given his second life as a “Spirit Detective.”

I can’t wait to see Eugene, Alfred, Vincent and Dennis again. Thank you for this gold, Netflix!

Dine-ins at Samgyupsal restaurants may be allowed in GCQ areas on June 15

Ready to have a feast?

On June 11, 2020, DTI Undersecretary Ruth Castelo said in an interview with PTV4 that Samgyupsal restaurants will be soon allowed to open for dine-in customers.

Provided that these restaurants are situated in areas under General Community Quarantine (GCQ), the COVID-19 Inter-Agency Task Force (IATF) has approved recommendations for dine-in services.

The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) Secretary Ramon Lopez said on June 11 that dine-in restaurants in areas under GCQ may be allowed to operate at a 30% capacity.

“We are doing this essentially in the interest of workers so they can get back to work. We shall be doing this on a gradual basis, starting at a 30 percent operating capacity,”

– DTI Secretary Ramon Lopez

“This is some kind of a preparation for the eventual de-escalation of Metro Manila and similar areas from GCQ to modified GCQ in the near future,” he added.

On the other hand, buffet and salad bars will still be prohibited under GCQ areas, said Undersecretary Castelo.

However, to avoid closure, these must be followed:

  • Face-to-Face sitting is not allowed.
  • 2 customers will be seated diagonally on a table of 4
  • Social distancing by spacing tables 1.5m apart
  • Installing barriers between customers
  • Wearing of face masks and/or other PPEs
  • Disinfecting regularly

Failure to complying to these protocols will deem closure of your business.

This, however, is still subject for approval by President Rodrigo Duterte as the IATF is set to present these recommendations this Monday, June 15, the last day of MGCQ.

Lapu-Lapu City Mayor Ahong Chan tests positive for COVID-19

Lapu-Lapu City Mayor Junard “Ahong” Chan announced on his 122nd Independence Day speech that he tested positive of COVID-19.

On June 12, Lapu-Lapu City has been told such news by the mayor himself while reassuring the people not to worry about him.

He also said on his FB post that he believes he will get better the soonest possible because of his family’s and supporters’ joined prayers.

“Apan, nagmadasigon ako nga paspas ang akong recovery kay sayod ako nga anaa kamo ug ang akong mga minahal sa kinabuhi nga kanunay nga mohalad sa inyung hiniusang pag-ampo sama sa inyung pag-ampo sa atong mga recoveries nga gitawag nato og ‘CoVid warriors’,”

– Mayor Chan posted on his official FB page.

Regardless of his case, he will never leave his city astray. He will continuously work for his people through virtual meetings and post updates through his social media account.

“Kanunay gihapon ako nga mohalad og serbisyo para sa mga katawhang Oponganon!,”

Bisan pa man sa tanto natong paningkamot nga mahalikay sa CoVid-19, nataptan gihapon kita sa maong sakit. Usbon ko, nag…

Cebu City may revert to MECQ or ECQ as COVID-19 cases continue to rise

As the number of COVID-19 cases arises, Cebu City may all revert to Modified Enhanced Community Quarantine (MECQ) or Enhanced Community Quarantine (ECQ).

On June 14, 2020, Cebu City will undergo evaluation of quarantine status whether or not it will revert back to a stricter classification.

If the number of COVID-19 cases in the city continues to rise, the worse that could happen is for us to return to ECQ status, if rapid transmission is proven, said Dr.  Tony Leachon, special adviser to the Inter-Agency Task Force (IATF) under chief implementer Secretary Carlito Galvez.

In a Facebook Live session Sunday night, Leachon, said:

“IATF evaluation on June 14, pero kung mataas talaga ang datus pwedeng hindi mag hintay ng June 14 at ibalik ang ECQ o MECQ kung saan sila dati, depende po. May criteria ang national task force based sa real time and granular data.”

Cebu City was placed under General Community Quarantine (GCQ) in the first week of June. However, the increasing number of cases worried Leachon.

By June 6, Cebu City recorded 2,548 cases against San Juan City’s 2,537 cases. San Juan is the local government in the National Capital Region with the most number of cases.

He said that he has alerted his fellow members of the national IATF.

For four consecutive days from June 7 to 10, 2020, Cebu City has been logging at least 100 new confirmed COVID-19 cases a day. As of yesterday, June 10, Cebu City already has a total of 3,089 confirmed COVID-19 cases with 1,719 recoveries and 34 deaths. Total recoveries is at 55.65% ratio while death rate is only at 1.10%.

They say that the virus is here to stay. Therefore, we must all be cautious and practice proper hygiene, but most importantly, we must stay at home.

Cebu Province to start Cebu’s tourism revival

One of the greatly affected sectors during the crisis caused by the coronavirus pandemic is tourism. Hence, the Cebu Provincial Government is leading the revival of Cebu’s tourism sector while the world continues to combat against COVID-19.

On June 5, Governor Gwendolyn Garcia visited Cebu’s “jewel of the north,” Malapascua Island. This visit is in lieu to the revival of Cebu tourism.

“Mao nang nagkuyog gyud mi ni (Department of Tourism) RD Shahlimar Tamano alang sa pagdala og loud signal to all nga maningkamot gyud ta nga buhion nato og balik ang turismo,”

– Cebu Governor Gwen Garcia

Tamano, Daanbantayan Mayor Sun Shimura, Provincial Board member Kerrie Keane Shimura, Police Provincial Director Roderick Marianl, Logon Barangay Captain Lemuel Dano jointed Gov. Garcia.

“Ug mao na ang akong giangkon karon nga dako kaayo nga tulumanon, pagtabang, dili lang gani niining Isla sa Malapascua, lakip na ang uban natong mga lungsod nga turismo maoy main source of livelihood,”

– Governor Garcia

Other popular tourism sites in Cebu province include Olsob, Badian, Alegria, Bantayan, Camotes Island and Moalboal.

Garcia, together with Tamano and the Department of Tourism (DOT), assured that they will help in reviving the tourism industry amidst this pandemic.

When our tourism sector and business sector are to face the new normal, let us not forget to #SupportLocal by buying local.

BIR requires online sellers, freelancers to register and pay taxes

It’s no question — many people and businesses have been greatly impacted by the global crisis due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Many lost jobs, while others had no choice but to close their businesses and companies.

This is one of the reasons why many Filipinos (and Cebuanos) resorted to online selling and freelancing to keep up with the never-ending bills and other financial obligations.

The Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) issued a new memorandum on June 10, 2020, giving notice to all individuals “doing business and earning income in any manner or form” to register and comply with the existing provisions of the Tax Code.

Highlights of RMC No. 60-2020:

All persons doing business and earning income in any manner, specially those into digital transactions should be compliant with the tax code:

  • Should be registered with the BIR
  • Should issue proper receipts/invoices
  • Should keep books of accounts
  • Should file and pay tax returns on time

If you register before July 31, 2020, there will be no penalty imposed for late registration and late filing for past transactions.

All those who will be found later doing business without complying with the registration/update requirements, and those who failed to declare past due taxes/unpaid taxes, shall be imposed with the applicable penalties under the law and existing policies.

Basic Registration Guidelines

According to BIR’s memorandum, in general, the registration and its updates are done in the Revenue District Office (RDO) having jurisdiction over the place where the Head Office is located or over the place of residence of the individual taxpayer.

1. Persons doing business online with no Tax Identification Number (TIN) yet – Register business following existing policies in securing TIN and registration of business.

2. Persons doing business online who already have TINs but the business is not yet registered:

  • a. Individual – whether the TIN was issued due to ONETT or employment, register the business, using BIR Form 1901, with the RDO having jurisdiction over the place of business, if with physical establishment. Otherwise, with the RDO having jurisdiction over the place of residence. The concerned RDO shall effect the update of taxpayer classification (e.g., employee to sole proprietor, ONETT to sole proprietor); and include the business activity of online selling.
  • b. Non-individual – Update business registration, using Form 1905, details to include additional business activity (online selling). 

The Certificate of Registration (COR) shall be issued to those engaged in business upon compliance with the requirements as followers:

RequirementsIndividualsNon-Individuals
1. Fill up Registration FormBIR Form No. 1901 (2 originals)BIR Form No. 1903 (2 originals)

Cebu’s famous bar ceases operations amid pandemic

Those late night epic parties will be missed for one of Cebu’s most popular bars or night clubs has just released a statement of closure.

Rumour Gastropub, one of the high end bars in Cebu City, has been serving the Cebuanos for three years. The operations of Rumour might just be the first of many casualties of the global pandemic, COVID-19.

But let us not lose hope because Rumour has also stated that this is not a total goodbye.

“This is not Goodbye. We are just closing our doors for now. #ButrumourHasIt that we will be back at a new location.”

World’s Highest-Paid Athletes of 2020: Forbes

It was only a few months ago when Forbes, a business magazine, released their 2020 “30 Under 30” list, wherein they featured young entrepreneurs, leaders, and changemakers in the whole world.

Just recently, they featured another set of list citing the world’s highest paid athletes for 2020, with Swiss tennis player Roger Federer claiming the top spot. Forbes revealed that Federer accumulated $106 million USD of pre-tax earnings in total over the past 12 months.

Football star players Ronaldo and Messi follow Federer with $105 million and $104 million, respectively. Neymar and LeBron also made appearances on the list as they claimed the fourth and fifth spot, respectively.

Another reason why this year’s list is special is because of Osaka and Williams. They made it to the list marking the first time that two women have made it in the top 100 since 2016. Osaka landed in the 29th spot while Williams landed on the 33rd spot.

Top twenty in the Forbes’ world’s 100 highest-paid athletes list are as follows:

1. Roger Federer – $106.3 million

LOOK: Bikers group proposes Cycling Network for Cebu City

The global effects of using bicycles have already been discussed pre-quarantine, but its benefits have been given much emphasis during this crisis.

During GCQ, only a few jeepneys and buses took the courage to transport passengers from one place to the other. Because of the scare of the pandemic, only a few passengers were also brave enough to hop on a public transportation.

If you are one of those commuters who enjoyed the use of bicycles as a mode of transportation, you will be elated to see these bike lanes circulating proposed by the Baktas Tindak Society. Though these lanes have not been formally proposed, these have made waves online hoping for the right people to hear these pleas.

“Most major destinations and basic services can fit in a 2km radius circle.”
“Highlighting the busiest destinations.”
“Structures with bike racks were identified and most of these were private developments which is obviously not enough if we anticipate the number of cyclists when the post-quarantine kicks in.”
“Most of the identified bike racks also fall inside the major destinations.”
“Possible connection in between major destinations.”
“Stretching the bike lanes further to areas with high residential density.”
“And establishing a North-South link.”
“Imagination lang pero pwede.”

I’d be happy to see these lanes too. I can’t wait to be able to pedal my way to my destination. Less contact with people and daily exercise.

Thank you for these imaginary cycling network across Cebu City, Baktas Tindak Society.

Again, these are not yet official. These are dreams hoping to be translated into reality.

This is an imaginary proposal consolidated from various individuals and cycling communities then further developed by…
