How does the International Cup work? - Philippines

THIRTEEN senators have approved a committee report related to a bill that seeks to legalize the medical use of cannabis or marijuana.Committee Report 210, which contains Senate Bill (SB) 2573, or the proposed "Cannabis Medicalization Act of the Philippines," was submitted by the joint Senate committees on Health and Demography, on Public Order and Dangerous Drugs, and on Finance.It was signed by its author and subcommittee chairman Senator Robin Padilla and Senators Sonny Angara, Ronald “Bato” dela Rosa, JV Ejercito, Lito Lapid and Raffy Tulfo.Senators Grace Poe, Majority leader Joel Villanueva, Minority Leader Aquilino "Koko" Pimentel III and Jinggoy Estrada also signed the report but have expressed intention to interpellate and introduce amendments during plenary debates.Senators Christopher “Bong” Go, Mark Villar and Ramon "Bong" Revilla Jr. also approved the report but with reservations.Under SB 2573, “the state shall legalize and regulate the medical use of cannabis which has been confirmed to have beneficial and therapeutic uses for known debilitating medical conditions.”This includes the acquisition, possession, transportation, delivery, dispensing, administration, cultivation, or manufacturing by private individuals or entities only for medical and research purposes.The measure will mandate the creation of the Philippine Medical Cannabis Authority (PCMA), which will be under the Department of Health, which will serve as the principal regulatory and implementing agency of the measure.Importation of medical cannabis will be limited to countries with established medical cannabis regimes or countries already using the same medical cannabis products in the last five years.Patients prescribed to use medical marijuana are prohibited to use cannabis for purposes other than for treatment of a debilitating medical condition and outside of the designated treatment facilities, use it with other illegal intoxicating or dangerous substances and sell or give it away.Doctors are prohibited to prescribe medical cannabis without an S2 license, prescribe it to any person who is not a qualified patient under the measure, for purposes other than for treatment of a debilitating medical condition, in quantity more than the needed dosage, refuse to maintain the record of all his or her patients and prescriptions issue, and issue a written prescription for his or her own use, or the use of his or her immediate family or relatives within the second civil degree of consanguinity or affinity.A joint House committee also approved earlier a counterpart bill of SB 2573. (TPM/SunStar Philippines) How does the International Cup work? Philippines ROAD closures will be implemented in the downtown area for the Cebu Bus Rapid Transit’s (CBRT) “Link to the Port” feature on Osmeña Blvd. Motorists are called to prepare for the upcoming temporary road closure for the sidewalk extension and widening project funded by the CBRT Package 1 and in line with Cebu City’s goal of pedestrianization of the city’s heritage district, which is the downtown area. The road will be closed from the intersection of P. Del Rosario St. and N. Bacalso Ave. to M.J. Cuenco Ave. in front of Plaza Independencia, Cebu City Transportation Office (CCTO) assistant department head and legal officer Kent Francesco Jongoy said during the Openline news forum on Tuesday, March 12, 2024. Jongoy said the Chinese contractor of CBRT Package 1, Hunan Road and Bridge Construction Group Ltd., had made the request to the Traffic Management Coordination Committee (TMCC). He said the CCTO was surprised by the project, particularly the request for road closure, as the TMCC had not been informed of the “Link to the Port” feature of the CBRT Package 1 during last year’s discussion on the project. The four-lane roads of Osmeña Blvd. in the downtown area will be reduced to two-lane roads, accommodating a higher number of pedestrians and fewer motor vehicles, he said. He said this is in line with Cebu City Mayor Michael Rama’s directive to pedestrianize the downtown area, citing the presence of infrastructure with historical significance there such as the centuries-old Basilica Minore del Sto. Niño de Cebu. The contractor told the TMCC that it needs a month to complete the project, Jongoy said. The project’s civil works require only scraping off the old asphalt and installing a new pavement for the new asphalted road and extension of the sidewalk.In SunStar Cebu’s February 2022 report on the Department of Transportation’s (DOTr) posting of an invitation to bid for Package 1 of the CBRT, SunStar indicated that the invitation was “for the construction of infrastructure from the Capitol to the Cebu South Bus Terminal (CSBT) and an enhancement of the link to the Cebu port.”The scope of work was described as including “trunk lines, sidewalk improvement, stations and other appurtenances from Capitol to CSBT, including a link to the port along Osmeña Blvd.”Gradual Jongoy said the TMCC, the contractor and the DOTr were expected to meet on Tuesday afternoon to discuss the implementation of the road closure. Jongoy said he suggested to the contractor a gradual conduct of the civil works by segment or block, to be done at night from 11 p.m. to 4 a.m., to minimize the inconvenience to motorists.He said the contractor told the TMCC that the suggested work schedule was doable. Private vehicles and modern public utility vehicles and traditional jeepneys can be rerouted to the parallel roads of Osmeña Blvd., including Leon Kilat St. and Borromeo St. for the southbound lanes and Legaspi St. to Pelaez St. for the northbound lanes, he added. “If we can close one block, then we could divert the jeepneys and other public utility vehicles to other streets, and we will just have different diversion roads for the northbound and southbound vehicles so they are equally distributed,” Jongoy said.He added that he had already discussed the upcoming road closure with the Federation of Cebu Transport Cooperatives and that the federation expressed support for the project. SunStar Cebu reached out to TMCC chairperson and Cebu City Councilor Rey Gealon for details on the Tuesday meeting, but the official had yet to respond to queries. It is not yet known when the road closure will begin. / EHP

The first package runs 2.38 kilometers from the Cebu South Bus Terminal on N. Bacalso Ave. to the front of the Capitol building along Osmeña Blvd.It passes the Cebu Normal University (CNU), City Central Elementary School and the Abellana National School, which have thousands of students and pupils.A skywalk used to straddle the wide thoroughfare, providing safe crossing, but this was demolished along with the skywalk in front of the Department of Health 7 office last February to make way for the project.Pedestrians, many of them students and pupils from the schools in the vicinity, criticized the lack of signages and insufficient barriers to protect them from passing vehicles.Joshua Dave Ardimer, a student at CNU, told SunStar Cebu on Wednesday, March 12, 2024, that the removal of the skywalk has inconvenienced them, affecting their safety whenever they cross Osmeña Blvd.“In terms of the safety management, I think kailangan siya butangan ug (they need to install) proper precautions na materials or anything na itabon sa mga delikado na (that will cover dangerous) areas,” he said.“There aren’t enough signages (to warn pedestrians), especially with so many schools in the vicinity.

So there’s a good chance they’ll get into an accident like hurting themselves from the metal cables that are sticking out from the ground,” he said in a mix of Cebuano and English.Kent Francesco Jongoy, Cebu City Transportation Office legal officer and assistant head, admitted that there are risk hazards in the area, including an open pit and debris from the ongoing civil works of the CBRT project.He urged the Department of Transportation (DOTr) to remind the contractor to strengthen safety measures.

Asa man nato palakwon ang mga tawo (Where will the people walk)? Adto sa kalsada (On the street)? There’s a portion that is walkable but considering the population of the schools in the area. These are public schools so daghan-daghan gyud ni sila estudyante (there are a lot of students and pupils),” Jongoy said.He said they have deployed 10 traffic enforcers at the intersection of Osmeña Blvd. and P. del Rosario St. and in the near vicinity not only to man traffic but also to assist crossing pedestrians.He said there are two at the corner of R.R. Landon St. and Osmeña Blvd., three at the corner of N. Bacalso and P. del Rosario, three on Leon Kilat St. corner J. Alcantara St. and N. Bacalso, and another two at P. del Rosario corner Junquera St.He said the enforcers work in two shifts, from 6 a.m. to 2 p.m. and from 2 p.m. to 10 p.m.He said patrol teams monitor and handle traffic for the rest of the night until the wee hours of the morning.Jongoy emphasized the need to deploy enforcers to prioritize the safety of pedestrians, many of them students.The DOTr had promised to install pedestrian crossings where the two skywalks stood, but as of press time there were none. Meanwhile, Jongoy asked for the public’s understanding regarding enforcers who take shade, especially during the hottest hours of the day.He said they also need to protect themselves from the intense heat of the sun.Jongoy assured that enforcers are in the middle of intersections manning traffic during peak hours.However, a street vendor who wished not to be identified told SunStar Cebu that they barely feel the presence of the traffic enforcers. “Adto ra gyud siya sa may eskina duol sa traffic lights.

Bacalso Ave. to the front of the Capitol building along Osmeña Blvd.It passes the Cebu Normal University (CNU), City Central Elementary School and the Abellana National School, which have thousands of students and pupils.A skywalk used to straddle the wide thoroughfare, providing safe crossing, but this was demolished along with the skywalk in front of the Department of Health 7 office last February to make way for the project.Pedestrians, many of them students and pupils from the schools in the vicinity, criticized the lack of signages and insufficient barriers to protect them from passing vehicles.Joshua Dave Ardimer, a student at CNU, told SunStar Cebu on Wednesday, March 12, 2024, that the removal of the skywalk has inconvenienced them, affecting their safety whenever they cross Osmeña Blvd.“In terms of the safety management, I think kailangan siya butangan ug (they need to install) proper precautions na materials or anything na itabon sa mga delikado na (that will cover dangerous) areas,” he said.“There aren’t enough signages (to warn pedestrians), especially with so many schools in the vicinity. You know how unruly elementary pupils can get. So there’s a good chance they’ll get into an accident like hurting themselves from the metal cables that are sticking out from the ground,” he said in a mix of Cebuano and English.Kent Francesco Jongoy, Cebu City Transportation Office legal officer and assistant head, admitted that there are risk hazards in the area, including an open pit and debris from the ongoing civil works of the CBRT project.He urged the Department of Transportation (DOTr) to remind the contractor to strengthen safety measures. Currently the only safety measure in place is a yellow tape that cordons off the excavations, he said.Deployment“I hope the DOTr will also do its job of informing the contractor of the basics of construction safety kay dili man nato malikayan (because it can’t be helped). Asa man nato palakwon ang mga tawo (Where will the people walk)? Adto sa kalsada (On the street)? There’s a portion that is walkable but considering the population of the schools in the area. These are public schools so daghan-daghan gyud ni sila estudyante (there are a lot of students and pupils),” Jongoy said.He said they have deployed 10 traffic enforcers at the intersection of Osmeña Blvd. and P. del Rosario St. and in the near vicinity not only to man traffic but also to assist crossing pedestrians.He said there are two at the corner of R.R. Landon St. and Osmeña Blvd., three at the corner of N. Bacalso and P. del Rosario, three on Leon Kilat St. corner J. Alcantara St. and N. Bacalso, and another two at P. del Rosario corner Junquera St.He said the enforcers work in two shifts, from 6 a.m. to 2 p.m. and from 2 p.m. to 10 p.m.He said patrol teams monitor and handle traffic for the rest of the night until the wee hours of the morning.Jongoy emphasized the need to deploy enforcers to prioritize the safety of pedestrians, many of them students.The DOTr had promised to install pedestrian crossings where the two skywalks stood, but as of press time there were none. Meanwhile, Jongoy asked for the public’s understanding regarding enforcers who take shade, especially during the hottest hours of the day.He said they also need to protect themselves from the intense heat of the sun.Jongoy assured that enforcers are in the middle of intersections manning traffic during peak hours.However, a street vendor who wished not to be identified told SunStar Cebu that they barely feel the presence of the traffic enforcers. “Adto ra gyud siya sa may eskina duol sa traffic lights. Tagsa ra pud sila naa, buntag ra,” the vendor said.(They usually hang out in the corner near the traffic lights. And they’re rarely there, usually in the mornings.) / EHP / BiPSU INTERNS JOSHUA USIGAN, MA. ANNA PRIMERO

ROAD closures will be implemented in the downtown area for the Cebu Bus Rapid Transit’s (CBRT) “Link to the Port” feature on Osmeña Blvd. Motorists are called to prepare for the upcoming temporary road closure for the sidewalk extension and widening project funded by the CBRT Package 1 and in line with Cebu City’s goal of pedestrianization of the city’s heritage district, which is the downtown area. The road will be closed from the intersection of P. Del Rosario St. and N. Bacalso Ave. to M.J. Cuenco Ave. in front of Plaza Independencia, Cebu City Transportation Office (CCTO) assistant department head and legal officer Kent Francesco Jongoy said during the Openline news forum on Tuesday, March 12, 2024. Jongoy said the Chinese contractor of CBRT Package 1, Hunan Road and Bridge Construction Group Ltd., had made the request to the Traffic Management Coordination Committee (TMCC). He said the CCTO was surprised by the project, particularly the request for road closure, as the TMCC had not been informed of the “Link to the Port” feature of the CBRT Package 1 during last year’s discussion on the project. The four-lane roads of Osmeña Blvd. in the downtown area will be reduced to two-lane roads, accommodating a higher number of pedestrians and fewer motor vehicles, he said. He said this is in line with Cebu City Mayor Michael Rama’s directive to pedestrianize the downtown area, citing the presence of infrastructure with historical significance there such as the centuries-old Basilica Minore del Sto. Niño de Cebu. The contractor told the TMCC that it needs a month to complete the project, Jongoy said. The project’s civil works require only scraping off the old asphalt and installing a new pavement for the new asphalted road and extension of the sidewalk.In SunStar Cebu’s February 2022 report on the Department of Transportation’s (DOTr) posting of an invitation to bid for Package 1 of the CBRT, SunStar indicated that the invitation was “for the construction of infrastructure from the Capitol to the Cebu South Bus Terminal (CSBT) and an enhancement of the link to the Cebu port.”The scope of work was described as including “trunk lines, sidewalk improvement, stations and other appurtenances from Capitol to CSBT, including a link to the port along Osmeña Blvd.”Gradual Jongoy said the TMCC, the contractor and the DOTr were expected to meet on Tuesday afternoon to discuss the implementation of the road closure. Jongoy said he suggested to the contractor a gradual conduct of the civil works by segment or block, to be done at night from 11 p.m. to 4 a.m., to minimize the inconvenience to motorists.He said the contractor told the TMCC that the suggested work schedule was doable. Private vehicles and modern public utility vehicles and traditional jeepneys can be rerouted to the parallel roads of Osmeña Blvd., including Leon Kilat St. and Borromeo St. for the southbound lanes and Legaspi St. to Pelaez St. for the northbound lanes, he added. “If we can close one block, then we could divert the jeepneys and other public utility vehicles to other streets, and we will just have different diversion roads for the northbound and southbound vehicles so they are equally distributed,” Jongoy said.He added that he had already discussed the upcoming road closure with the Federation of Cebu Transport Cooperatives and that the federation expressed support for the project. SunStar Cebu reached out to TMCC chairperson and Cebu City Councilor Rey Gealon for details on the Tuesday meeting, but the official had yet to respond to queries. It is not yet known when the road closure will begin. / EHP How does the International Cup work?
