00:00:00 Good afternoon.
00:00:28 It's Friday, October 6th, 2023.
00:00:32 It's oh, my name is Pablio.
00:00:34 You're Friday.
00:00:35 It is Friday.
00:00:36 But anyways, I am Mildred Galarpe.
00:00:40 And welcome to Beyond the Headlines.
00:00:43 Thank God it's Friday, Pablio.
00:00:45 Yeah, it's one of those days.
00:00:47 And here at Beyond the Headlines, we unveil abuses, give voice to the community, and empower
00:00:53 solutions.
00:00:54 Yeah, that's why we have a guest.
00:00:56 We have guests here.
00:00:57 We'll try to empower solutions to the problem that they're facing at the moment.
00:01:02 So a very serious problem.
00:01:05 So in our studio this morning, we have Mr. Marlon Medida, we have David Atkinson, and
00:01:14 Mark Bartusez.
00:01:15 They are all residents of Park Point Residences at Cebu Business Park.
00:01:25 So David, can you tell us, can you share with our audience why you're here?
00:01:32 Sure, sure.
00:01:33 Thanks for having us on.
00:01:34 There are at least 45 more of us that would like to come into your studio.
00:01:42 But I'm a retired American.
00:01:44 However, I've been living under a quota visa here since 2012.
00:01:48 I purchased an Ayala condominium in 2013, moved in in 2017, and enjoying the amenities,
00:02:00 enjoying the peace and quiet until an ominous day in April where we noticed that there was
00:02:07 a major cooling project installation going on.
00:02:11 April this year.
00:02:12 Yeah.
00:02:13 And then soon thereafter, we noticed, and I have pictures and videos, of course, because
00:02:18 it was very striking, of the noise.
00:02:23 So up until then, we really had a good, quiet existence.
00:02:27 Now my partner and I, of nine years, with a two-year-old son, have been literally tortured
00:02:35 by this noise.
00:02:37 I investigated immediately.
00:02:40 I called friends, I called people that would know the governmental process, and I went
00:02:46 over to OBO to find out what was going on.
00:02:49 They came and looked, and they saw only, they could do only one thing, and that was they
00:02:54 found a violation of permit or license.
00:02:58 They told me, after I went to see them a second time, "Mr. Atkinson, you must go and see the
00:03:04 DENR."
00:03:05 So that's what I did.
00:03:06 I hopped in my car, I went up to see the DENR, and they received me very graciously, and
00:03:13 they sent a team of three engineers out, within a couple of days, to do their examination.
00:03:20 So I think the most powerful document, because it's not me speaking, some uppity Caucasian,
00:03:26 it's the DENR speaking, a national organization who is well-trusted and is applying the law
00:03:32 even-handedly, or the regulations, I should say.
00:03:35 So that report came out, and then this was in July-ish.
00:03:40 And it went over to the mayor's office, and the mayor took a meeting with myself and our
00:03:46 PPR board president, and received it and said, "This is not good.
00:03:55 This is something that will have to be remedied."
00:03:58 So I was kind of happy with that, but to date, nothing significant has happened.
00:04:03 Oh, by the way, we also had the CHD, the City Health Department, over, and they assured
00:04:09 me they would write a report that was based upon not having noise levels reaching your
00:04:14 doorstep above the prescribed NPCC limits.
00:04:18 However, I never saw a copy of that report.
00:04:23 So I don't know if it got lost, but I made dozens of phone calls to follow up, and no
00:04:29 report.
00:04:30 Okay.
00:04:31 Before we proceed, the Ayala Center Cebu sent us a statement regarding this issue.
00:04:41 I'm just going to read parts of the statement.
00:04:43 Here it says, "Ayala Center Cebu engaged an independent acoustic consultant expert to
00:04:50 evaluate and check all operating factors against allowable regulatory"
00:04:55 So this report stated that the mall cooling towers, this is what he's complaining against,
00:05:03 are operating within the regulatory limits.
00:05:06 The report was submitted to OBO, DNR, CENRO, and City Health for their reference.
00:05:11 The mall cooling towers also have valid permits to operate from the Cebu City Office of the
00:05:16 Building Official, which is OBO.
00:05:18 CENRO and City Health have visited the site and found no issues related to the allowable
00:05:26 noise level.
00:05:28 But we have documents saying otherwise.
00:05:31 Okay.
00:05:32 We have here, like what Mr. Atkinson said, in June, the Office of the Building Official
00:05:38 issued a notice of violation to Ayala Land and Philippine Integrated Energy Solutions
00:05:45 Inc.
00:05:46 This is the office that manages the cooling towers.
00:05:50 They were penalized.
00:05:53 I think they asked to secure a permit for light violations.
00:05:58 Failure to post certificate of occupancy, use, and operation.
00:06:04 Failure to post building permit construction information sign.
00:06:09 Failure to provide or install appropriate safety measures for the protection of workers,
00:06:15 inspectors, visitors, immediate neighbors, and pedestrians.
00:06:18 Erecting, constructing, altering, repairing, moving, converting, installing, or demolishing
00:06:25 a private or public building structure without the appropriate permit.
00:06:30 So more vague, it was, the violation of Ayala is only a light violation.
00:06:35 But nothing about the noise.
00:06:37 This is OBO, right?
00:06:38 This is OBO.
00:06:39 It's not specific, unlike the DNR report in July.
00:06:47 In July 6, 2023, Regional Director Maria Victoria Abrera wrote a letter to Mayor Michael Rama.
00:06:57 Attention to the CENRO office regarding the complaint of Mr. Atkinson on the Ayala Center
00:07:02 Cebu for alleged noise pollution generated by the towers.
00:07:08 On July 3, a noise sampling was conducted by the technical personnel in response to
00:07:13 the complaint.
00:07:16 Based on the investigation report, the noise emitted from the cooling towers had an arithmetic
00:07:20 median.

00:25:30 I don't know what's an arithmetic.
00:25:31 I don't know what's an arithmetic.
00:25:53 So there was a cooling tower before and the noise was okay.
00:25:58 Yeah, not nearly.
00:26:00 But the issue of that cooling tower is the water.
00:26:04 I think the issue of that cooling tower is more of the water because there's a lengthy
00:26:09 discussion here about that there will be no more discharge that would make the pathway
00:26:14 from Ayala Center, Cebu to Park Point slippery.
00:26:17 So that was addressed.
00:26:20 Yeah, and I think they did a fine job there, at least from my perspective.
00:26:25 But I think also they were concerned, the board I'm talking about, bacteria, Legionnaires
00:26:30 disease.
00:26:31 There's lots of drift and lots of water coming out.
00:26:34 There's always a small potential that Legionnaires disease can be spread.
00:26:39 Yes.
00:26:40 As to the concern regarding the possible presence of Legionnial bacteria from the water coming
00:26:45 from the cooling tower, they assured that they are proactive monitoring at the cooling
00:26:51 tower air discharge.
00:26:52 So I think this is what they're trying to address.
00:26:56 They addressed the water discharge, but there was another problem that came out, which is
00:27:02 the noise.
00:27:03 Now, in the report, in the letter of DNR to Mayor Mike Rama, the remarks of that report,
00:27:11 which is signed by Engineer Mark Anthony Maceda, Engineer Havalia, this was reviewed by Engineer
00:27:18 Guillen and agreed by Engineer Dioco.
00:27:22 So there were four engineers who made this report.
00:27:26 The remarks is the complaint of excessive noise emissions coming from the cooling towers
00:27:31 were substantiated at the time of inspection and sample conducted.
00:27:36 So the noise, excessive noise at the time, as of July 6th report, noise sampling results
00:27:45 showed that the noise emitted from the cooling towers as an arithmetic median, 66, 66, within
00:27:51 that range.
00:27:52 It was observed that two out of four sampling station within the premises of Mr. Atkinson
00:28:12 and the noise within the premise of the second complainant exceeds allowable noise levels
00:28:18 in commercial area during daytime.
00:28:22 It's 9am to 6pm, which is at 65 decibels.
00:28:27 And also during nighttime, 10 to 5, which is only 55 for Suwanto, Chapter 4 of Presidential
00:28:34 Decree 984, or the Pollution Control Law.
00:28:38 Recommendations.
00:28:39 It is recommended that the authorized representative of Ayala Center Cebu and the complainant,
00:28:44 Mr. Atkinson, be called for a technical conference to immediately discuss how to abate, mitigate
00:28:51 the matter at hand and come up with a commitment to prevent further incident to occur in the
00:28:55 future.
00:28:56 It is further advised that if possible, the cooling towers be relocated that is far from
00:29:02 any residential buildings.
00:29:04 Again, the question is, where is the target?
00:29:23 The target is to have a technical conference.
00:29:48 The question is, what will happen now?
00:29:54 The problem, despite the recommendations and the findings, according to the residents,
00:29:59 it was never solved.
00:30:00 They've been suffering for the last five months.
00:30:02 They continue to suffer.
00:30:03 They continue to suffer until today.
00:30:06 When they go home, welcome.
00:30:08 It's the same welcome.
00:30:09 I wonder who this independent acoustic consultant expert is.
00:30:14 How independent are they if they paid for their fee?
00:30:20 Exactly.
00:30:22 There's no mention of the consultant.
00:30:28 In the recommendation, they proposed for this complaint to be endorsed to the local government
00:30:33 of Cebu City for their appropriate action and imposition of proper sanctions relative
00:30:40 to all applicable laws within their jurisdiction.
00:30:42 The question is, where is the date?
00:30:45 July 6.
00:30:46 July, August, September, October.
00:30:47 Three months.
00:30:48 Three months.
00:30:49 The question is, maybe in CENRO and the Office of the Building Official, what happened to
00:30:58 these reports at DNR?
00:31:00 I remember in September, that was in September when there was an inspection.
00:31:05 What happened to that inspection?
00:31:07 There was no report that came out from that inspection.
00:31:12 So I think...
00:31:13 Unfortunately, I cannot say that there was no action.
00:31:19 The fact that Cebu City Sports Center closed in May.
00:31:22 It's still May.
00:31:23 It's still May.
00:31:24 Until now, maybe they're still working.
00:31:26 So I am not surprised.
00:31:28 Anyways.
00:31:29 So, what will happen now?
00:31:33 Will they continue to suffer?
00:31:35 What actions?
00:31:36 What actions?
00:31:37 Because this one, I think, it has already fallen.
00:31:42 In other words, DNR is already making recommendations.
00:31:45 Now, these falls in Cebu City.
00:31:48 There must be an aggressive intervention now by the regulators to let Ayala comply what
00:31:59 they have already instructed them to do.
00:32:05 Aggressive for the residents.
00:32:12 Mr. Atkinson is a bit familiar with the mechanics, the technicalities of this.
00:32:19 If you are to redesign that cooling tower, how should it be?
00:32:25 Wait, hold on.
00:32:26 What is your background, Mr. Atkinson?
00:32:29 Before you retired.
00:32:32 Before I retired, I was manager of network engineering and ran a lot of the data center
00:32:37 equipment in New York for major investment bank.
00:32:42 So I was always dealing with the facilities department and the engineers as to how we're
00:32:47 going to provide the cheapest, most reliable and safest cooling towers and chillers to
00:32:54 cool the data centers.
00:32:56 So not that I was in charge of the engineering, but I heard this day in and day out.
00:33:03 And so my qualified opinion here is also bolstered by the fact that I've talked recently over
00:33:11 the last five months with past colleagues, other experts in other countries, as well
00:33:17 as experts in Manila with engineering degrees and have done this before with their current
00:33:24 companies.
00:33:25 And they suggest that the most practical thing to do would be to enclose these five towers
00:33:32 in louvered walls with a louvered ceiling with fairly expensive material that absorbs
00:33:39 the sound, acoustical absorbing.
00:33:43 That cost even, I got ballpark figures from a couple of consultants.
00:33:48 The materials for that size would probably run in the range of 10 to 15 million pesos.
00:33:54 And of course, whatever contractor you got to do that would probably run another five
00:33:59 to 10.
00:34:00 If you get the right one, it's available to do that.
00:34:03 So that's a cost that has to be swallowed in order to comply.
00:34:07 The other remedy is to move them who knows where, because no one else is going to want
00:34:16 them outside their window.
00:34:18 And maybe there is a space.
00:34:20 Maybe there is a place for them 50 meters north or west, who knows, maybe on top of
00:34:27 one of the movie theater roofs, you can fit all of those.
00:34:30 Because there are, I think cinema, cinema three and four, I'm not sure, have some semi
00:34:37 flat, I don't know who would support it, but hey, I'm not the qualified one here.
00:34:42 I'm just suggesting, but what I know from consultant friends of mine is that covering
00:34:47 it with soundproofing or what's called louvered acoustical barriers, enclosing it completely.
00:34:56 The contractor or the developer of park residences is Ayala.
00:35:01 Yes, but no longer the property manager.
00:35:04 Yeah, it's Ayala.
00:35:05 So when I think when they build that park residences, the tower is not yet there.
00:35:12 There was an existing tower further away, and mind you, there were only four, no, six
00:35:20 fans at that time.
00:35:22 Now the new one is 20.
00:35:26 That's why I'm surprised.
00:35:27 So keep six to 20.
00:35:30 Keep in mind, what year was it?
00:35:32 2011 or 12?
00:35:34 Ayala doubled the size of that mall.
00:35:36 So those old cooling towers were put in before then.
00:35:40 So they doubled the size of the mall.
00:35:42 Triple?
00:35:43 Triple, maybe.
00:35:44 I don't know.
00:35:45 So they've been struggling to keep up with the HVAC requirements, you would think, right?
00:35:51 Yeah, that's our price.
00:35:53 Before there were only six fans.
00:35:58 It was an exponential growth.
00:36:00 That's six from 12, that's about more than 300%.
00:36:03 But the mall was there, it was already functioning.
00:36:10 What I think, I think the lure for the public to buy the property, condominium units, is
00:36:18 because it's near Ayala.
00:36:20 It's near the mall.
00:36:21 It's right next to the mall.
00:36:23 It's right next to the mall.
00:36:24 I mean, when you live alone, you don't cook, so you just go out, eat there.
00:36:30 Unlike Mr. Mark, who really goes out the balcony and have to deal with the noise.
00:36:37 So I think that's one premium consideration when people buy a unit in that area, but not
00:36:44 today.
00:36:45 But have any of you spoken to somebody from Cebu Ayala?
00:36:51 Did Ayala Center Cebu?
00:36:54 Yeah, the very first action was really a complaint to the barangay, barangay loose.
00:37:01 And they convened a meeting with four or five of the engineers, along with the general manager
00:37:06 of Ayala Malls.
00:37:07 And their position at that time, which it seems to have held, is that they're not violating
00:37:12 anything, that they're complying with the regulations on their commercial property.
00:37:17 So that was a stalemate.
00:37:19 And I think they've got a room full of lawyers where I don't have a room full of lawyers.
00:37:27 Okay.
00:37:28 Cesar Ibanez, who is now, he's made a comment on our live program.
00:37:34 He said, "They should use a standard equipment to determine noise level to be observed by
00:37:39 Ayala and government personnel."
00:37:42 So both Ayala and...
00:37:44 Yes.
00:37:45 Kay basin niya, Pablillo, or like Mr. Atkinson recorded...
00:37:49 The equipment, the DB meters that I have, that the other divisions have, they're all
00:37:55 the same.
00:37:56 We did it.
00:37:57 I have got pictures as well.
00:37:58 We did it in parallel and they're all the same.
00:38:02 Well, I think it's for the purpose of convincing Ayala that you're on the same level.
00:38:06 So somebody from the government and somebody from Ayala, on the same day, in the same room,
00:38:13 take those noise levels and see and compare.
00:38:17 They're both the same.
00:38:19 But Mr. Atkinson said earlier that, yes, the sound could have been reduced within the periphery
00:38:26 of Ayala, but not on the neighbors who are suffering.
00:38:32 The regulation might be 75 decibels on your commercial property, but on adjacent residential,
00:38:39 it's a whole lot lower.
00:38:41 Was it 40?
00:38:42 Well, different times of day, 45, 50, and 55.
00:38:47 So 45 in this sleeping hours, 50 in the early morning and late afternoon.
00:38:54 And in the day, 55.
00:38:55 So even if it's say 55, well, top 55 for consideration, that was way above 66, 67 decibels.
00:39:04 Can you hear this noise right now?
00:39:05 I can hear that noise.
00:39:06 That's the fan.
00:39:07 That's even a small fan, Poblayo.
00:39:09 That's not the big fan, cooling fan.
00:39:13 That one, I'm sure if you're editing, you'll be annoyed with that noise.
00:39:18 You cannot concentrate because there's something there.
00:39:21 So how much more if it's a bigger noise?
00:39:24 So now, they're going to do this to the management of Cebu Business Park?
00:39:30 Yes, Cebu Business Park.
00:39:31 Or Cebu Ayala?
00:39:33 Where are they going to put this?
00:39:34 Ayala Malls?
00:39:35 Ayala Malls is the one that's being complained about.
00:39:38 But they're already bringing a statement that their consultants...
00:39:44 This is the first time...
00:39:46 Cebu City is the first.
00:39:47 ... to ask the regulators what action is Cebu City taking on this recommendation made
00:39:54 by the DNR as early as July.
00:39:57 It's good that it's already dated, July 6.
00:40:02 It's an update.
00:40:03 There are recommendations.
00:40:04 There are three recommendations provided by the government on what action to take in
00:40:13 Cebu City.
00:40:14 So what actions are they taking?
00:40:17 But they're already implementing what they're imposing.
00:40:20 The OBO or the Department of Cebu City?
00:40:24 The CENRO and OBO.
00:40:26 The CENRO and OBO.
00:40:27 So this report, attention, Cebu City Environment and Natural Resources Office.
00:40:33 They're monitoring and implementing the regulations.
00:40:36 They're busy with the ones that are already getting the taplings.
00:40:41 They're busy with the BRT.
00:40:42 The BRT.
00:40:43 The Singapore Light Vision is already focusing on the waterways.
00:40:49 They're already focusing on that instead of their own problems.
00:40:54 I understand.
00:40:56 I understand.
00:40:57 Because I've already mentioned that there is also an urgent need for the city to address
00:41:02 the waterway problems, especially in the rainy season, so flooding and everything.
00:41:07 But I think even before the flood reached the problem of the road in Cebu, this report
00:41:13 already came out.
00:41:14 July 6, 2023.
00:41:17 In fact, this problem was February last year.
00:41:21 They said, in fact, according to Mr. Atkinson, the mayor himself made an assurance that they
00:41:28 will address their concerns.
00:41:30 When was that meeting with the mayor?
00:41:32 Oh, back just a few days or a week beyond where the DENR sent.
00:41:39 So he took a meeting with us very responsibly and told us that he was aware of it and things
00:41:47 would get done.
00:41:48 But in fairness to the mayor, he has a lot in his hands.
00:41:53 So maybe he's already prepared.
00:42:03 We'll remind Mayor Mike about the problem.
00:42:08 We'll ask our reporters to get a follow-up on this, on whatever happened to that report
00:42:16 made by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources regarding the cooling towers
00:42:21 in Ayala Malls.
00:42:24 It's not only Park Residences, there are other ALCOVs as well.
00:42:31 There are people complaining there too.
00:42:33 In fact, some of them came over to our residence and our area and said, "Are you hearing the
00:42:40 same thing?"
00:42:41 And of course, we are.
00:42:42 You're not in the ALCOVs or Park Residences, Phobes.
00:42:48 But I think the problem here is for locals who live in...
00:42:54 They prefer to just, you know, "Okay, we'll just close the windows."
00:42:59 For locals, not for the foreigners.
00:43:03 For locals, it's like, "It's okay.
00:43:05 Okay, we'll just deal with it.
00:43:06 We'll live with it.
00:43:07 We'll cope."
00:43:08 That's how they probably think.
00:43:10 Some people want to convince themselves that it doesn't bother them.
00:43:13 But the medical research shows that even if you don't think you're bothered, the long-run
00:43:18 consequences of 55 decibel noise, if you sleep with the window open, is significant.
00:43:24 It's proven.
00:43:25 It's very well...
00:43:26 Boom, boom, little boom.
00:43:27 Just like cigarette smoke.
00:43:28 So back in the '90s, I used to take an international flight, and smoking was allowed.
00:43:33 You had 20 chain smokers popping away, and you're breathing this in.
00:43:38 And when you get off the plane, you smell like a cigarette.
00:43:41 Guilty.
00:43:42 Guilty.
00:43:43 And then so you would ask people, "Doesn't that bother you?"
00:43:46 "Oh, it doesn't bother me."
00:43:47 But you say, "You know what?
00:43:48 Your cancer rate is going to go...
00:43:49 Your probability of cancer is going to go up."
00:43:50 Higher.
00:43:51 Cancer is higher.
00:43:52 Well, it's the same thing with noise.
00:43:54 It's the exact same thing.
00:43:56 You have hypertension, anxiety, you know, all kinds of neurological diseases.
00:44:04 You have hormonal imbalances if you don't get proper sleep.
00:44:08 And some people say, "Well, I sleep all night."
00:44:10 Well, how do you know if you're in stage 4 and you're called out of stage 4 to stage 3 100 times because of the noise?
00:44:18 You don't know that.
00:44:19 But now, you're not getting the restorative value of your sleep.
00:44:25 So, where are we, Pobz?
00:44:27 Thank God it's Friday.
00:44:29 It's always like this.
00:44:30 It's always raining.
00:44:32 It's a problem.
00:44:33 I mean...
00:44:34 I mean, it's a serious problem, especially with my health.
00:44:38 Imagine, Pobz, if the nearby residents are not living in the condo, I'm sure they're not...
00:44:46 Are there any local residents?
00:44:48 No, there aren't.
00:44:49 Oh, they moved?
00:44:50 It's far.
00:44:51 It's far.
00:44:52 It's far.
00:44:53 It's far.
00:44:54 They're so annoying.
00:44:55 That's why they're always fighting.
00:44:56 It's videoke.
00:44:57 Videoke is more serious.
00:44:59 Videoke, okay.
00:45:01 So yeah, but this one, if we want to promote Cebu City as a destination for retirees, as a destination for foreign workers, this kind of problem has to be addressed.
00:45:17 Again, as you said earlier, Cebu Business Park is now making a statement.
00:45:25 So now, we should go to Cebu City, right?
00:45:29 Because there are recommendations.
00:45:32 The DNR.
00:45:33 DNR.
00:45:34 Yes.
00:45:35 Is the DNR the one that's being held?
00:45:36 The DNR, yes, the DNR.
00:45:38 The notice of violation that was filed in Obo, this is just for...
00:45:43 It's already there. It's already in the building.
00:45:45 Yes, but the DNR was really more on the...
00:45:48 Based on the complaint filed by Mr. Atkinson.
00:45:51 So they validated and substantiated the problem and they made the necessary recommendations.
00:45:57 It will now be...
00:45:58 This is just a follow-up from our officials in Cebu City on what actions were taken to solve the problem.
00:46:05 While we're at it, so how much is the bidding for the rehabilitation of Obo in Cebu City Sports Center?
00:46:11 I'm just guessing.
00:46:12 You're just guessing.
00:46:13 No, it's...
00:46:15 But anyways...
00:46:16 May, June, July, August, September, four months.
00:46:19 But how much was that every day?
00:46:22 They were earning 16,000, I think, on average income every day.
00:46:26 They have 16,000 folks, right?
00:46:29 The city can afford it.
00:46:30 Yes, anyway, but that has been the place for a lot of people to flex, boot out their stresses in a day.
00:46:41 Cebu City Marathon is not that big.
00:46:45 Anyway, so Mr. Atkinson, Mr. Bedida, any last words?
00:46:50 Is there anything you want to call on government on your problem at the moment?
00:46:54 Hopefully, after hearing our concerns in your platform,
00:47:04 we can find a solution. Because this is a valid concern.
00:47:11 Especially because it will be appealing to our health later on.
00:47:22 We could create mental health later.
00:47:24 Yes.
00:47:25 But if you're in a barangay...
00:47:27 Where is a barangay?
00:47:28 In Barilos.
00:47:29 Sometimes, I don't know, you have to put in a mail, sometimes you have to go to Barilos.
00:47:35 So, I don't know.
00:47:36 You're close to being elected.
00:47:40 I'm close to being elected.
00:47:41 So, I think, even if the first unit of government to address this is really the barangay,
00:47:50 but the report is that it should be addressed to Cebu City, not to the barangay.
00:47:58 I think, David and the rest will not stop until such time as there is a solution.
00:48:06 Most probably, the last resort maybe is we go to the judicial system later on.
00:48:13 But hopefully, we will be able to deal with this.
00:48:17 Okay. Mr. David, wait a minute.
00:48:21 Tay, can we show that photo? Actually, David shared with us the before and after of his photo with the family.
00:48:29 I will just blur your picture so that we can see the difference.
00:48:33 We'll see it.
00:48:34 Tay, can you show that photo?
00:48:36 The first one, that was the before.
00:48:39 When was this taken, David?
00:48:41 The before was back in April, I think.
00:48:45 April this year?
00:48:46 Yeah, before we were barraged with the noise.
00:48:51 There! So, that's the before.
00:48:53 So, that's my two-year-old son, my partner.
00:48:57 Okay. And that is the next Tay is the now, after five months.
00:49:04 There.
00:49:05 See the difference in the face of David?
00:49:08 David is smiling.
00:49:10 Yeah, he's smiling but it's a lot different compared to the…
00:49:14 You have to smile for every selfie, no matter what.
00:49:18 No matter what.
00:49:19 You're in the Philippines.
00:49:20 In the Philippines, if it's a selfie pose, you have to smile.
00:49:23 It's a reflex, actually.
00:49:25 Yes. Okay, there. So, see?
00:49:27 But so, my last words was that I did hear through the board recently that Ayala is becoming more open to collaborating and solving this problem.
00:49:41 But my priority number one is my family.
00:49:45 It's not to wait for a distant future possible negotiation solution.
00:49:51 There has to be pressure put on doing the right thing.
00:49:55 And it's never too late.
00:49:57 Okay. So, hopefully, Ayala and the local government and the Park Residence Corporation can sit down and honestly resolve this problem.
00:50:11 Because this is something, you know, should not be there in the first place.
00:50:15 Mark has the last word.
00:50:17 Mark?
00:50:18 I just do want to thank Dave for spearheading this.
00:50:24 You do need somebody to get behind it and get the ball rolling.
00:50:29 Too many people are just willing to just let things slide.
00:50:33 And we all want to make Cebu a better place.
00:50:36 And it's one small thing at a time.
00:50:39 Well, this is, many of you, it's a small thing.
00:50:43 But enough small things add up.
00:50:46 And if they're repaired, fixed, things become a lot better.
00:50:52 It attracts more people here, which attracts more money.
00:50:55 And everybody's happy.
00:50:57 Very true.
00:51:00 It's a word of mouth later that, you know, Cebu is the place to go.
00:51:06 But the problem, my answer is, in addition to the problem with our last word,
00:51:10 there's also, I mean, seriously, the mindset of this public is, majority is,
00:51:17 that the problem is bigger.
00:51:20 I'm not saying, I'm not belittling the problem, but that's also the mindset of the people.
00:51:26 Some people complain that our problem is bigger than the one of the last word.
00:51:34 I'm just saying.
00:51:36 But this is a serious problem.
00:51:39 It's not something that should, even if they're affecting, you know,
00:51:43 how many residents are there in Park Point.
00:51:45 But, I feel, personally, I feel like I'm not shortchanged in my investment.
00:51:53 You know, buying a unit there is an investment.
00:51:55 Exactly.
00:51:56 So I feel like, when you invested that money, it's not something that, you know, you work for it.
00:52:02 It's just, you invest it.
00:52:04 I feel like I was shortchanged.
00:52:06 Why am I experiencing these problems now?
00:52:08 To be honest, I really think, as Mr. Atkins said, Ayala is working on the problem.
00:52:16 But he'd rather have it because for health reasons, as soon as possible,
00:52:22 they address it as opposed to just wait another couple of months or six more months.
00:52:28 And knowing here in the Philippines, that can turn into a year.
00:52:31 To be more aggressive in finding solutions to this problem.
00:52:36 We hope that the next time Mr. Atkinson will be coming here in our studio,
00:52:42 he will be now saying thank you because the noise is resolved.
00:52:46 The noise problem is resolved.
00:52:48 And, you know, the two-year-old boy we can see just be running around the studio.
00:52:52 He's now downstairs in our newsroom.
00:52:56 Okay, so thank you for coming.
00:52:59 We hope that our audience have seen the problem on hand.
00:53:05 Okay, Puglio.
00:53:07 When we come back, we'll have some public service announcements.

00:56:58 Park Residences.
00:57:17 [Speaking in Tagalog]
00:57:20 But anyways, it's right next to the mall, right?
00:57:26 Yes, right next to the mall.
00:57:28 [Speaking in Tagalog]
00:57:33 Where's the cooling tower?
00:57:35 What's the purpose of the cooling tower?
00:57:37 [Speaking in Tagalog]
00:57:41 In Ercon?
00:57:42 Yes.
00:57:43 Okay, there are buildings.
00:57:44 There's the cooling tower.
00:57:46 Where's the cooling tower?
00:57:47 [Speaking in Tagalog]
00:57:49 There, that's the cooling tower.
00:57:53 That's from the balcony of David Atkinson.
00:58:00 [Speaking in Tagalog]
00:58:03 I know about the fans.
00:58:04 [Speaking in Tagalog]
00:58:07 [Speaking in Tagalog]
00:58:12 So that's it.
00:58:15 [Speaking in Tagalog]
00:58:19 With that kind of ambience, Publio,
00:58:27 you didn't change your property.
00:58:30 You returned it.
00:58:31 Maybe you didn't pay the visas.
00:58:33 [Speaking in Tagalog]
00:58:37 As long as it's expensive.
00:58:41 [Speaking in Tagalog]
00:58:44 Mayor Mike is using the complainant.
00:58:53 He's assuring that he will take action.
00:58:57 Because of the many problems Mayor Mike has in town.
00:59:00 Because he's being criticized or set aside?
00:59:04 Because he's not giving up.
00:59:06 He's not giving up.
00:59:07 He's not giving up.
00:59:08 He's not giving up.
00:59:09 He's not giving up.
00:59:10 He's just following up.
00:59:11 He's just following up.
00:59:12 Mayor Mike is just following up.
00:59:13 Before we go, Publio,
00:59:17 there are scheduled power outages.
00:59:20 There are.

01:00:03 So, this is the monitoring of power outages.
01:00:06 [Speaking in Tagalog]
01:00:09 So, there are power outages.
01:00:12 By the way, the festival is near Talisay City.
01:00:15 [Speaking in Tagalog]

01:00:20 Just call us.

01:01:24 What we're saying here,
01:01:26 the Beyond the Headlines,
01:01:28 Ayala is really very underbrand.
01:01:30 Hopefully, this thing will be resolved
01:01:33 by the Condominium Corporation and Ayala Moss.
01:01:37 Actually, I really think that they're working on it right now.
01:01:40 It's just that it's not easy.
01:01:42 Some constraints that they have to address.
01:01:45 But again, hopefully, sooner is better.
01:01:49 It's supposed to be later.
01:01:51 Okay. That's all for now.
01:01:53 I'm Mildred Galarpe.
