00:37 >> Good afternoon.
00:38 Today is Friday, August 18, 2023.
00:42 I am Publio J. Briones, III.
00:44 >> And I'm Flor Quirobin.
00:46 >> Welcome to Beyond the Headlines, where we unveil abuses, empower solutions, and give voice to the community.
00:54 [ Foreign Language Spoken ]
01:23 [ Foreign Language Spoken ]
01:50 >> Leaving a legacy or losing a legacy?
01:54 [ Foreign Language Spoken ]
01:57 [ Foreign Language Spoken ]
02:23 >> Last month, July, [Foreign Language Spoken]
02:33 >> Cash advance.
02:34 >> Cash advance of 199.323 million.
02:40 This was made in 2021.
02:43 [ Foreign Language Spoken ]
02:44 >> This was made during the administration of former Mayor Edgardo Labella.
02:52 [ Foreign Language Spoken ]
03:07 >> So despite of the amount released, zero.
03:12 [ Foreign Language Spoken ]
03:23 [ Foreign Language Spoken ]
03:52 >> Leaving a legacy?
03:54 [ Foreign Language Spoken ]
04:01 >> Leaving a legacy or losing a legacy?
04:05 [ Foreign Language Spoken ]
04:10 >> Yes, hello.
04:11 [ Foreign Language Spoken ]
04:16 [ Foreign Language Spoken ]
04:26 >> Beyond the headlines.
04:28 [ Foreign Language Spoken ]
04:49 >> Yes, actually, I'm going to show you 1.3 billion flood control project.
04:54 This is actually in relation for the implementation of the Drainage Master Plan,
05:00 a study conducted by the DWH.
05:03 Among those recommendations was the rehabilitation and improvement of the existing drainage,
05:12 particularly there is a south district.
05:15 Among the bulk of that project, about 80 percent of that project are for implementation, there is a south district of Barangays.
05:24 Only about 20 percent are in the north district, particularly to address the flooding along El Pardo,
05:35 Cugon Pardo street, Basak San Nicolas, Cabreros. If you notice, Taekwondo underpass, it is flooded.
05:51 So the proposal was to divest water along the sea and the islands. Also rehabilitation along the distilled road.
06:06 Another portion of that project, we are here in E-Mall, Padolong, in the Carbon Market. So it is needed to be built,
06:19 additional construction in Bax Colbert for the implementation, so that the flood can be solved in the downtown area, particularly in E-Mall.
06:31 Now, unfortunately, this project was awarded way back during the incumbency of Attorney Labellia.
06:42 The project was already awarded to the contractor. There were notices of award issued to the contractor for the design and build.
06:52 But unfortunately, for more than two years, it was not implemented and there were already audit reports issued by the COA.
07:05 That was in December last year. There was zero implementation as to the awarded 1.3 billion flood control project.
07:15 So that's the reason why I delivered a privilege speech three weeks ago, so that the council will be notified what causes the delay for the implementation of the flood control project.
07:29 So in order for us to be enlightened, the council, I call for an executive session to invite different personalities, especially AM Oreta, the contractor who was awarded a contract.
07:47 And of course, other personalities, the city legal, the city engineers. At that time, it was engineer Noel Corminal, then followed by engineer Kenneth Enriquez,
08:03 and acting OIC now is engineer Bayocut, or Joel Reston, so that we can inform and notify the paper trail and documentation,
08:17 regarding the lapses and violations where the contractor really complied.
08:23 There were already submissions of the design of the plans, considering that this is a design and build contract.
08:31 So were there prior submissions by the contractor, or not, and how come the projects were not implemented until now.
08:39 So these are among the few questions that you want to clarify.
08:44 Unfortunately, during the scheduled executive session last Wednesday, AM Oreta did not appear. They sent a letter requesting for the scheduling of the executive session.
09:05 So in the absence of AM Oreta, September 6 will be our next schedule for the executive session.
09:19 So we can hear some signs of AM Oreta. Only engineer Joel Reston appeared during the executive session last Wednesday.
09:31 The rest of those invited personalities were not around. So the council decided to accept the next hearing, the executive session on September 6.
09:43 Excuse me, councillor. Don't you think that the city has enough time for the contractor to come up with the design?
09:53 I mean, it's been what, two years? Now, it's going to move. Don't you think that it's going to be a long time or will the advance payment of almost P200 million plus the mobilization fund be enough?
10:07 Actually, it's a long overdue. They need to submit compliance to the project.
10:17 Considering that this is a design and build, they were able to make advance payment for the mobilization fund.
10:26 So there must be a timeline. Within two years, the contractor should have already submitted the payment.
10:36 In fact, within a year, they should have already received the payment. But there's a problem. We're not notified to the council.
10:48 We're not given an update on the implementation of the project. So that's the reason why we called for an investigation.
10:57 At least, there's a balloon that can be moved. It's the executive actually. They will monitor the implementation.
11:07 It's actually the DAW, they are the implementing department. We need vital information, vital documents.
11:18 We need to know what's not being implemented until now. If you want to get a slippage, you can get a negative slippage.
11:32 That's the reason why we called for an investigation to get a balloon. There were no prior reports that updated the data volume as to the status of the project.
11:46 Counselor, it's okay if there's no room to remove, right? The fact that the room has been released.
11:54 Maybe it's time for you to give the ultimatum to the contractor. Because, as you know, we have a problem with the flood.
12:03 They announced that later this year, we'll be experiencing an El Niño. But now, it's raining.
12:11 You're in a hurry. But while we have that time, dry season, I would assume because of the El Niño,
12:20 you're not working hard. So next year when the rainy season returns, you'll be ready to work?
12:30 Yes. Actually, that's the reason why we called for your attention to the contractor, AM Orita. We can hear both sides.
12:44 There were already partial submissions of information that were conveyed to our former city engineer, Joel Liston. In the next hearing,
12:59 he will submit the documents. At least the counselor will know who is to be blamed and who is to be violated.
13:09 Where are the lapses? In the past, when the report was released to the contractor, they haven't been able to respond to the implementation of the project until now.
13:25 So four years is more than enough. We want to hear your testimony. It's important that your so-called succession,
13:37 your appearance and testimony will be heard. Where are the violations?
13:47 Madam Counselor, in the AM Orita statement, the city government has been bashing the delay. According to the statement,
14:00 there are several pending issues and matters that still need to be addressed by the city to enable them to complete their tasks.
14:09 So where are the matters or issues that are pending to be addressed?
14:18 I think that is not also fair to blame the city government. That's why we want to meet up with the two city engineers.
14:31 We want to meet up with the two city engineers and ask them to send us their communication, asking the contractor to submit their report
14:42 and their design and the timeline for the implementation. So we should not blame the contractors in the DAPW.
14:53 In fact, the DAPW have also documents to present that they have sent prior communications to the contractor for the submission of the design.
15:05 Not unless the AM Orita is able to respond, at least the engineering side, that will be the time to respond.
15:16 Sometimes they have submitted their report, sometimes they haven't. The project hasn't been implemented.
15:21 I see. So this coming September 6, if the contractor acknowledges that you will attend the executive session?
15:32 No. We will decide on the schedule and if it's available, we will send them an indication.
15:42 Hopefully, that's too much time, enough time for them to reconcile.
15:55 They must be present during September 6 so in the light of the current situation, they can have a look at their side. At least, they want to know what should be monitored.
16:09 Where are the lapses, technicalities and violations.
16:14 What I want to say is, even though they haven't implemented anything until now, you have doubled the number of contractors.
16:24 Even though the project hasn't been submitted, you still want to make changes?
16:29 Yes. Apparently, from what I see, you're treating the contractor with kids gloves.
16:42 Maybe you should be judging them. Imagine, on June 2, you sent a letter asking the contractor to submit its pre-engineering studies.
16:54 You didn't submit it. On February 23, 2023, you sent a letter asking the contractor to submit it.
17:01 You didn't submit it. Finally, on May 18, you submitted it.
17:04 Is this how you get the advance payment from the city?
17:11 Seriously, two years is more than enough. I think it's about time, Councilor.
17:18 People are suffering, especially in the South District, every time it rains, they get flooded.
17:25 Statement right to Councilor.
17:27 Yes. Actually, what David, actually, really disadvantages the city government to the constituents.
17:35 The current situation, it's really now up to the legal. I think this has been reviewed by the city legal.
17:43 If there are technicalities or violations, if there are grounds for termination of the contract, we leave it to the city legal.
17:53 They are the ones who review the contracts and agreements.
18:02 They are the ones who recommend if there are violations, grave violations, that we can terminate the contract.
18:10 So it's up to the city legal to make recommendations.
18:14 I see. Thank you, Councilor.
18:16 Okay. So no more questions folks?
18:19 No more questions.
18:20 Okay. Thank you very much, Councilor Jerry Guardo for your statement here on Beyond the Headlines, on Sunstar.
18:28 That's all.
18:32 Thank you, Councilor.
18:34 Thank you. Good bye.
18:36 Good bye.
18:38 I will now hand over to Councilor Jerry Guardo, the chairman of the Committee on Infrastructure in the Cebu City Council.
18:45 It's difficult to get the contractor, AM Oreta, but the fact that they are not even related to the Cebu City government.
18:55 It's difficult. It's difficult. It's difficult for them to come to their side.
18:59 It's difficult to invite them to the city.
19:01 Yes.
19:02 At least, the distribution is not good. There are no problems, there are no problems.
19:08 They already received a 200 million advance payment.
19:11 They also received a mobilization fund of 28.8 million.
19:16 So the Cebu City government has received a lot of money.
19:20 So I think, hopefully, by September, there will be an update.
19:25 You noticed that for the last two weeks, the theme is to get updates.
19:33 There are a lot of updates every year.
19:38 But anyways, these projects that Councilor Guardo is talking about,
19:44 this is the one that he is talking about, because it's not 80% of the south.
19:50 It involves the construction of flood mitigating interventions along Cabrero Street,
19:56 En Bacaso Avenue, V.H. Garcia Street, A. Gabuya Street, Leon Quilat Street, Escanio Street.
20:04 These are the places where the flood is happening.
20:09 The area is flooded.
20:10 It's like a flood.
20:12 So it's not easy for the POOVs to do the drainage project.
20:18 But also, this is what I want to bring up, what he said in the COA report.
20:23 How many of you think that,
20:26 if you can underline it boldly,
20:30 that the distribution of 200 million, almost 200 million advance payment, is excessive?
20:36 I'm happy to hear that it's excessive.
20:39 It's excessive.
20:42 So this is what I want to say.
20:44 I myself, even if I'm not in my right mind, I'm dead.
20:47 But anyways,
20:49 But is it allowed for the POOVs to do the drainage?
20:52 I think it's allowed with the assumption that it's a work.
20:56 I would assume.
20:57 Because it's not allowed if it's not allowed.
21:00 Assuming that, first of all, they can submit this design,
21:05 from what I read, up to now, this design hasn't been submitted.
21:11 So, if there's a design...
21:13 Like AM Oreta only managed to complete the design of the project,
21:20 but was not able to transition to actual construction phase.
21:26 In other words, the project hasn't been submitted.
21:29 The design is already there.
21:31 The design is already there.
21:32 I told you that they haven't submitted the design.
21:34 But the actual work is still zero.
21:38 It hasn't been submitted.
21:39 Zero result.
21:40 According to the representative of the contractor, Melvin,
21:45 Is it Edith?
21:46 Yes, Edith.
21:47 What's her name?
21:48 Yes.
21:49 What's their reason?
21:50 There are several pending issues or matters that still need to be addressed by the city.
21:58 So what are the issues?
21:59 Two years.
22:02 What's the matter?
22:03 I'm sorry.
22:04 Two years.
22:05 Until now, the issues that I mentioned have not been addressed.
22:11 The project has not been submitted to the people here in the South.
22:17 So, on September 6, the Executive Session of the City Council will be held.
22:23 Will the AM Oreta contractor be able to do it?
22:26 That's the question mark.
22:29 But it will be done.
22:31 If they are invited, they will be able to submit the design.
22:36 They will be able to do it.
22:38 They are valid.
22:40 There is no doubt.
22:41 It will be done if they can make a statement.
22:46 If they can make a powerpoint, if they can point out the issues that they want to address in Cebu City.
22:57 Although I have an idea of what it is.
22:59 What is it?
23:00 Road right of way.
23:02 What do you think?
23:03 It's not an issue.
23:06 But it should be done.
23:07 It should be appealed to the people in the project.
23:10 It should be done.
23:16 It's not like it's a joke.
23:18 It's advanced to 200 million.
23:20 There are people who work in the buildings.
23:24 Although I just think that it's good.
23:26 You're the one who made the assumption.
23:27 I made the assumption because I'm assuming.
23:31 Okay.
23:32 So, this is the commercial break.
23:35 Wow.
23:36 This is a new commercial.
23:39 So, Nissan Patrol VIP Experience and Test Drive.
23:43 Mayong Adlao, Cebu, the Nissan Patrol VIP Experience and Test Drive event is coming to Ayala Center, Cebu Activity Center from August 18 to 20.
23:54 Indulge in the unrivaled sophistication of the Nissan Patrol and experience why this luxury SUV is in a class of its own.
24:04 Learn more about Nissan Patrol at www.nissan.ph/patrol.
24:11 It's a beautiful car.
24:13 I think I can afford it, Floor.
24:15 It's impossible.
24:17 But if you can change it, it's a good car.
24:20 Yes, it's a good car.
24:22 It's a story.
24:23 Anyways, we're here in Cebu City.
24:26 You noticed the banner of Adlao in Cebu.
24:30 Where is it?
24:32 Let's show it.
24:34 Let's show the picture.
24:36 This banner in Sunstar, Cebu.
24:40 Where is it?
24:42 Dalluz Pato Seno kicked out of MCWD.
24:47 So, the officials of the board or BOD, Board of Directors of MCWD.
24:54 So, finally, Mayor Mike Rama's wish was fulfilled.
25:03 He really wanted to have Dalluz.
25:08 And the two others.
25:10 The two others.
25:11 I read that Mayor Rama will not be able to perform.
25:20 That was last year.
25:24 It's a long time ago.
25:25 It's a long time ago?
25:26 But if you look at the ongoing issues,
25:30 there are a lot of accusations and allegations.
25:38 You were accused of being a fraud.
25:41 I was accused of being a fraud.
25:42 But anyways, according to this,
25:44 Cebu City Legal Officer Jerome Castillo,
25:47 citing the notice of termination of the two officials of MCWD,
25:52 the power to appoint carries with it the power to remove or to discipline,
25:56 to justify the termination,
25:59 not termination,
26:01 I don't know what termination is,
26:03 of the two officials.
26:06 He cited the latest verdict in the Regional Trial Court
26:12 on the removal of MCWD directors.
26:15 He was caught up in the legal background.
26:19 His complaint was filed in the...
26:23 What is this?
26:24 It's a long time ago.
26:25 But anyways, the two officials have no more help.
26:29 Hopefully, next week...
26:31 Effective yesterday, poops.
26:33 Yes, that's right.
26:34 The termination was effective on August 17.
26:38 Yes.
26:39 Cebu City...
26:40 Since Cebu tried to get the side of the three officials,
26:44 they called or chatted or texted,
26:48 but so far, they have not replied.
26:51 They just answered,
26:52 so they are now trying to...
26:56 They are trying to pass the press statement.
26:59 Or knowing former councillor Dalos,
27:03 he interviewed him or he was interviewed,
27:06 that's the right statement.
27:08 So...
27:09 So, I don't know.
27:13 This issue is very high.
27:15 This history...
27:16 I remember it as a very good memory.
27:23 But now, poops,
27:24 since the two officials have no more help,
27:26 who will be the one to be arrested or punished?
27:30 Will it be the state or the government?
27:32 Well, according to the court,
27:34 it's Rama who will appoint the replacement.
27:37 He will be the one.
27:38 But he will be the one.
27:39 He will be the one to be punished.
27:42 But I'm sure if Rama is appointed,
27:45 Of course.
27:46 It would make sense, right?
27:48 Yes.
27:49 So, for now,
27:51 if you look at the political side,
27:54 whether it's political color or whatever,
27:56 you will see that the update is now...
27:59 I'm just saying the update.
28:01 They have already helped Dalos,
28:04 Pato and...
28:05 Seno.
28:06 Seno.
28:07 Finally, they are out in the MCWD.
28:09 Although I have a feeling they can...
28:12 They can...
28:13 They can question.
28:14 So, it's not yet the end,
28:17 knowing Cebu City politics.
28:19 It's not yet the end.
28:21 So, expect more drama.
28:24 It will be a drama.
28:26 When did the former City Councilor Dalos
28:29 who was the chairman of the board,
28:31 did he get appointed?
28:32 He was appointed.
28:34 I don't want to quote you because,
28:36 as I said,
28:37 it's not reliable.
28:39 He was appointed during the last...
28:42 Maybe last year,
28:44 when Mayor Labella was in office.
28:47 Okay.
28:48 I'm not sure.
28:49 Obviously, Mike didn't appoint him.
28:51 So, let's just assume.
28:55 Again, as I said,
28:56 let's assume that he was my partner.
29:01 I'll go first.
29:02 I have a very bad memory.
29:05 You're a young consul.
29:06 Yes.
29:07 Of course, he was my partner.
29:09 So, let's continue our discussion.
29:11 Good vibes this Friday.
29:14 Good vibes.
29:15 Yeah.
29:16 TGIF.
29:17 Thank God it's Friday.
29:18 Finally,
29:20 finally,
29:21 our...
29:23 Sorry, I can't...
29:25 This July 3,
29:27 our local water...
29:29 Utilities Administration.
29:32 Yes.
29:33 LWUA.
29:35 L-W-U-A.
29:37 LWUA.
29:38 LWUA.
29:39 LWUA.
29:40 LWUA.
29:41 He suggested in Cebu City
29:43 to submit a petition
29:45 to MCWD Employees Union
29:48 to the Office of the Ombudsman.
29:50 I think we've already seen them.
29:52 But anyways, again,
29:53 moving on.
29:55 Good vibes Friday.
29:57 So, I think
29:59 in our struggle
30:01 against illegal parking
30:03 for the last God knows how many days,
30:06 finally,
30:09 the Cebu City Transportation Office
30:11 conducted a clamping operation
30:16 on RR London Street.
30:21 If you're familiar with the area,
30:24 I've been there
30:26 and I've been there to backtask
30:28 in the office.
30:29 So, there are already motorcycles
30:31 that are clamping.
30:33 So...
30:34 How many of you...
30:36 I'm already late.
30:37 I'm already late.
30:38 I'm already late.
30:39 How many of us are here
30:40 and we're already late.
30:41 But you're in Osmeña Boulevard.
30:42 Yes, I'm in Osmeña Boulevard.
30:44 But I'm not taking pictures
30:46 in Osmeña Boulevard
30:48 because I'm afraid
30:49 I'll see people here
30:51 who are looking for a job.
30:52 Maybe they're looking for a job
30:54 to park their cars.
30:56 But anyways,
30:57 thank you very much.
30:58 Good job.
30:59 They said,
31:00 maybe they're looking for a job.
31:01 Maybe they're not looking for a job.
31:02 I'm going to tell our personnel,
31:04 the CCTO,
31:06 and the head,
31:07 Ma'am Raquel Arce,
31:09 for addressing
31:13 the problem of illegal parking.
31:15 Hopefully,
31:16 they'll be able to help.
31:17 It's not just now.
31:20 Or how did I find this?
31:21 Yesterday or the day before?
31:23 Anyways, good job.
31:24 You're going to be asked
31:26 to give some electric tips.
31:29 But when we get back,
31:32 we'll talk to our
31:34 reporter, Ralph Martinez.
31:37 He's a...
31:39 I don't know if he's here
31:41 or outside the office.
31:42 He's a friend of P. Del Rosario,
31:45 especially he's a friend
31:47 of St. Carlos University, Maine.
31:49 He's a homeless person
31:51 who's been living here.
31:53 He's been talking about
31:55 the problems of people
31:56 in the neighborhood.
31:57 I think,
31:59 it's fair to say
32:01 that this is the first time
32:03 that they've been here.
32:05 Finally, I realized
32:07 that there are stories.
32:09 I mean,
32:10 it's one of the headlines
32:13 that the community
32:15 is listening.
32:16 They are part of the community.
32:19 So, I figured,
32:20 let's talk about
32:22 this story.
32:24 That's what our reporter,
32:26 Ralph Martinez, did.
32:28 And when we get back,
32:30 he'll tell us more.
32:32 (upbeat music)
32:36 (upbeat music)
32:39 (upbeat music)

34:07 Okay, we're back
34:16 to Beyond the Headlines.
34:18 Now, we'll talk about
34:20 one of the reporters
34:22 at Sunstar Cebu,
34:24 Ralph Martinez.
34:26 What are the initials of Ralph?
34:28 He's the one who reads
34:30 in the newspapers.
34:32 RJM?
34:34 RJM.
34:36 Ralph J. Martinez.
34:38 Okay, so, Poobs,
34:40 what are you going to say?
34:42 You'll invite the viewers.
34:44 He'll tell us the story.
34:46 Okay, Ralph.
34:48 So, back to the viewers,
34:50 I was asked by
34:52 Sir Poobs to go
34:54 around the area and ask
34:56 the homeless and say
34:58 their stories, reasons,
35:00 why they're here.
35:02 Most of them,
35:04 the usual reasons is
35:06 no one takes care of them.
35:08 No one takes care of them.
35:10 The homeless,
35:12 who are adapting to the streets
35:14 or the surrounding areas.
35:16 You're not homeless.
35:18 Yes, I was interviewed.
35:20 I was interviewed by one of the people
35:22 who took pictures of the area.
35:24 He's a construction worker.
35:26 He's a construction worker who sells snacks.
35:28 He's a construction worker.
35:30 He's the one who cleans the garbage.
35:32 He's the one who takes care of the stuff.
35:34 Okay, okay.
35:36 Where did you get the information
35:38 about the location?
35:40 First,
35:42 in a condo near Veles.
35:44 Or Arlando.
35:46 Or Arlando.
35:48 They have permission
35:50 to take pictures
35:52 of the area.
35:54 He took pictures of the area
35:56 when I interviewed Sir Miguel.
35:58 He said
36:00 the reason is
36:02 actually,
36:04 the house of the family
36:06 is not in the middle of the street.
36:08 It's on the ground.
36:10 But the reason
36:12 is that they're looking for
36:14 a place to live
36:16 even though they don't have
36:18 a family, a wife, or a father.
36:20 So, the reason
36:22 is that they don't
36:24 take care of their family
36:26 or friends.
36:28 So, most of them
36:30 are just going their way.
36:32 That's the reason.
36:34 That's the reason.
36:36 So, they're hoping
36:38 to get a place to live
36:40 in the evening?
36:42 They're looking for usual spots
36:44 for Sir Miguel.
36:46 He said he's going to live in Tipadilya.
36:48 He used to live in Julis
36:50 before in Arlando.
36:52 The other place
36:54 is usually near the office.
36:56 Near Pedro Sario.
36:58 That's where they're staying.
37:00 I haven't seen that.
37:02 That's where
37:04 they're staying.
37:06 In the back.
37:08 That's where they're staying.
37:10 That's where they're staying.
37:12 They're moving around.
37:14 But they're staying in their usual spots.
37:16 Actually, if you add
37:18 you can't see them often
37:20 because there are only two of them.
37:22 But if you go there at night,
37:24 you can see them.
37:26 They're like a group of people.
37:28 Like a group of Berks.
37:30 But again, it's unfortunate
37:32 that we can't see them.
37:34 Especially in the office.
37:36 But the other side, I think
37:38 they're not there.
37:40 If there's a pandemic,
37:42 I think they're not there.
37:44 They're not there.
37:46 If there's a pandemic,
37:48 I think
37:50 there's one person
37:52 who's in the parking lot of the office.
37:54 If there's a pandemic,
37:56 there's a lot of people.
37:58 There was also a time
38:00 during the pandemic
38:02 when the military
38:04 or police, I think
38:06 they're moving their trucks
38:08 to distribute food.
38:10 It's a touching moment.
38:12 I witnessed
38:14 that they're not waiting
38:16 for St. Carlos
38:18 because not only one or two
38:20 but the whole family is waiting
38:22 for the food.
38:24 Anyways, thank you, Frank.
38:26 Hopefully, one of these days...
38:28 What's his name?
38:30 I'm calculating.
38:32 Frank.
38:34 Thank you, Ralph.
38:36 Hopefully, one of these days,
38:38 they'll be able to interview
38:40 in the video
38:42 because they're the ones
38:44 who are going to tell
38:46 how they were able to get here.
38:48 When we come back,
38:50 what do you think
38:52 about these ads?
38:54 Okay, we'll continue
38:56 with the Bisayan Electric ads.
38:58 Thank you, Ralph.
39:00 Thank you, Ralph.
