Circular Explorer boosts Manila Bay rehab
A solar-powered, marine waste-removing vessel has removed and recycled 600,000 tons of plastic waste from Manila Bay from January, when it started its cleanup of the polluted body of water, to June. On 10 September, the Circular Explorer also collected 18,415 kilograms of waste, including 7,965 kilograms of plastics, in 3.84 million square meters of the bay. With the significant accomplishment of the Circular Explorer, which is operated by the Holcim Group and One Earth-One Ocean, a partnership with the Department of Environment and Natural Resources is now in the works to align the vessel’s activities with the agency’s Manila Bay rehabilitation program. “We are proud to see the Circular Explorer in action and responding to the enormous challenge of marine pollution. The vessel also plays a key role in amplifying our message on the importance of circularity to preserve natural resources and minimize waste,” Holcim Philippines president and CEO Horia Adrian said. “With the first months of cleanup operations, a vision has become reality. We are now actively helping clean Manila Bay with this unique prototype vessel,” OEOO Circular Explorer project manager Daniel Scheler said. The Philippine Coast Guard Marine Environmental Protection Command participate in the Circular Explorer’s daily cleanup of the bay. The vessel has special sensors for collecting data on marine microplastics, huge concentrations of which endanger aquatic life. The gathered information is shared with the University of the Philippines Marine Science Institute, which is studying waste management and aquatic conservation strategies. The vessel is also spreading awareness on the importance of a circular economy through an education campaign with the advocacy organization Asia Society for Social Improvement and Sustainable Transformation. “I am stoked to see even more important milestones coming up soon, as we are about to take the next exciting steps toward consolidating our Education and Scientific pillars,” according to Scheler. Holcim Group Circular Explorer project manager Christine Bellen, for her part, said, “We are excited to see the Circular Explorer reach new milestones under its waste collection, science, and education pillars in collaboration with our amazing partners. As it gathers more support in its mission, we are confident in seeing it deliver a bigger positive impact that can extend beyond the Philippines.” The education campaign will be run in a number of public and private elementary schools to embed the value of protecting seas and conserving resources among elementary and high school students.

DOTr told to prioritize expansion, rehab of Phl airports
Gatchalian to DOTr: Prioritize expansion, rehab of existing Phl airports The Department of Transportation should prioritize the expansion and rehabilitation of existing airports in the country “to enhance air travel and support the tourism industry,” said Senator Win Gatchalian. Among the airports that should be expanded are those located in Camarines Norte, Southern Leyte, and North Cotabato provinces, he said. “We need to expand our existing airports, build new terminals, and fly tourists straight to their destinations," Gatchalian said noting that the rehabilitation efforts would enhance tourism activities in these provinces, create more jobs, and underpin the local economy. "This is a very good phenomenon because it decongested Manila and tourists were able to fly straight to their destination," he added. Gatchalian said the DOTr could carve out a portion of the 2024 budget for right-of-ways under the National Expenditure Program for the expansion of airports, “since the disbursement of the budget for the acquisition of right-of-ways is usually underutilized.” He explained that under the 2022 General Appropriations Act, for instance, utilization of the P1.65 billion budget for right-of-ways is at a very low level. Likewise, a budget of P12.4 billion under the 2023 GAA appropriated for right-of-ways has a very low disbursement rate to date. In a recent budget hearing, Gatchalian noted that the DOTr's budget for the rail sector has increased substantially to P163 billion, despite the perennial problem of underutilization. "Napakalaki ng increase ng rail sector in the budget of DOTr and I support the call to expand the rail sector to different parts of the country including Mindanao. However, the rail sector is perennially underutilized in terms of disbursement," he said. Transportation Secretary Jaime Bautista said the DOTr is already coordinating with its contractors to hasten the disbursement of payments. "It's important to emphasize that we need to improve the absorptive capacity of the department and we are happy to hear that you are working closely with your contractors," Gatchalian told DOTr officials.

Pasig River rehab plan gets FL Liza’s nod
In five words, First Lady Liza Araneta-Marcos declared her support to the plan to fully rehabilitate Pasig River. “Para sa Pasig River natin!” thus, posted the First Lady on her Instagram after the Inter-Agency Council for the Pasig River Urban Development (IAC-PRUD) presented its master plan for the massive rehabilitation of Pasig River in Malacanang on Wednesday. Revitalizing the Pasig River into a commercial, lifestyle tourism and culture hub, like Thames and Seine, is among the advocacies of the First Lady as reported by Tatler Asia magazine this month. Dubbed as “Pasig Bigyan Buhay Muli” (PBBM) Project, the massive urban development undertaking was crafted by member-agencies of the IAC-PRUD which was created by virtue of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.’s Executive Order 35 signed last July 25. The PBBM Project is a holistic approach composed of development plans for mixed-use commercial areas, including tourist spots, and open public parks along the 25-kilometer stretch of the Pasig River from the Manila Bay all the way to the Laguna de Bay. Initially, the IAC-PRUD identified eight key areas where the people-centric improvements could be made like jogging paths and bike lanes from the city of Manila up to Rizal province - traversing major cities in the metropolis. Informal settler families living along the river banks will be prioritized under the flagship Pambansang Pabahay para sa Pilipino Program. “Talagang ang Pangulong Bongbong Marcos po at si First Lady ang aktibong nagsusulong nito - hindi lamang para linisin kundi pagandahin at buhayin ang Ilog Pasig,” Department of Human Settlements and Urban Development (DHSUD) Secretary Jose Rizalino Acuzar said. “At bilin din po nila na tulungan ang mga kababayan nating naninirahan sa danger zones along the river. Kaya may plano na rin po kami para sa mga informal settler families diyan,” he added. By virtue of EO 35, the IAC-PRUD was created with DHSUD as chair and the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) as vice chair. Members of the IAC-PRUD include the secretaries of DPWH, DENR, DILG, DOT, DoTr, DOF, DBM; the chairpersons of the National Historical Commission of the Philippines and the NCCA, the general manager of the PPA, commandant of the Philippine Coast Guard, the general manager of the Laguna Lake Development Authority and the chief executive officer of the Tourism Infrastructure and Enterprise Zone Authority. The National Housing Authority will serve as the secretariat. # The post Pasig River rehab plan gets FL Liza’s nod appeared first on Daily Tribune......»»

Pasig River rehab will spur economic opportunities along the banks from Mnl to Pasig
The Inter-Agency Council for the Pasig River Urban Development is targeting not only to rehabilitate the Pasig River, but also to maximize its economic potential and address issues like safe and decent housing for informal settler families. The Department of Human Settlements and Urban Development Secretary Jose Rizalino Acuzar on Tuesday said that he has already coordinated with other member agencies to discuss initial plans to implement this. “It will trigger huge positive impacts to several sectors like housing, transportation and even tourism,” Acuzar said. "The rehabilitation of Pasig River could serve as a catalyst for economic opportunities along its banks from Manila to Pasig," he added. The DHSUD chief stressed that while EO 35 primarily calls for the full rehabilitation of Pasig River waterways, its implementation will also secure the safety of thousands of ISFs living along the riverbanks, which will promote mixed-use development and tourism that will trigger economic opportunities. “Malaking bagay po ang activation ng inter-agency council para mas mapapabilis ang ating galaw at maging synchronized ang lahat ng efforts ng mga concerned agencies para sa pagbangon muli ng Pasig River,” he added. According to Secretary Acuzar, DHSUD has already laid out initial plans covering pilot areas along the portions of Pasig River in Manila in coordination with some of the IAC-PRUD member agencies like the Metro Manila Development Authority, the National Commission for Culture and the Arts and the Philippine Ports Authority. The IAC-PRUD was primarily tasked to “facilitate and ensure the full rehabilitation of the banks along the Pasig River water system and nearby water systems in order to provide alternative transportation, propel economic opportunities, and boost tourism activities.” The council was directed to formulate a Pasig River Urban Development Plan which shall serve as the blueprint for the full rehabilitation of the river with the end view of realizing its full potential for mixed-use development, transportation, recreation, tourism and sustainable human settlement, taking into consideration its historic and cultural value. It was also ordered to “study, prepare and implement a comprehensive shelter plan for massive relocation of informal settler families and other unauthorized or unlawful occupants along the Pasig River banks, including identification of suitable relocation sites; strategies for economic and social integration for ISFs, and long-term solutions to address ongoing migration into the Pasig River banks." The IAC-PRUD can also accept grants, contributions, donations, endowments, bequests, or gifts in cash or in kind from local and foreign sources in support of the formulation and implementation of the Pasig River Urban Development Plan, subject to existing laws, rules and regulations.

DHSUD hits ground running on Pasig River rehab
The Department of Human Settlements and Urban Development has hit the ground running after being tapped as head of the Inter-Agency Council for the Pasig River Urban Development by virtue of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.’s Executive Order 35. DHSUD Secretary Jose Rizalino Acuzar, along with key DHSUD officials, has started inspecting key areas along the Pasig River and laid out plans on how to implement the President’s order. Initially, Acuzar checked on the portions of the historical river in Manila, particularly at the back of the Central Post Office, which is being eyed as pilot area for mixed-use development and tourism spot, and Parola Compound for the affected informal settler families. “We already have plans, and we will soon present it to the Office of the President and before the council for approval,” Acuzar said. The DHSUD chief has already met with MMDA Chairman Romando Artes, vice chair of the IAC-PRUD, to discuss the council’s initial steps to put the order’s provisions into actionable strategies for the member-agencies. Under EO35, the secretaries of DPWH, DENR, DILG, DOT, DoTr, DOF, DBM; the chairperson of the National Historical Commission of the Philippines, general manager of the Philippine Ports Authority, commandant of the Philippine Coast Guard, the general manager of the Laguna Lake Development Authority and the chief executive officer of the Tourism Infrastructure and Enterprise Zone Authority were named as council members. The National Housing Authority will serve as the secretariat.

Pampanga’s ‘Egay’ rehab plan gets P55-M donation
The Philippine Disaster Resilience Foundation received a P55-million grant from the Australian government to implement the Resilient Emergency Communications for Enhanced Disaster Response, or REACHED, Project for climate-vulnerable local government units of Butuan, Agusan del Norte, Virac, Catanduanes and Borongan, Samar. At the same time as the project launch, PDRF hosted an operational briefing for the private sector on the effects of typhoon ‘Egay.’ Typhoon Egay private sector response In its briefing, PDRF reported widespread flooding in MIMAROPA, Central Luzon and Ilocos. Landslides have also been reported in the Cordillera Administrative Region. PDRF member companies Manila Water and Maynilad are monitoring dams and rivers; McDonald’s Kindness Kitchen and Jollibee Foods Corporation are monitoring stores in affected areas and are on standby to distribute hot meals to evacuation centers; PLDT and Smart are also sending packs of rice and hygiene kits; Alagang Kapatid Foundation Inc. dispatched a team to Northern Luzon to distribute relief goods from Pilipinas Shell Foundation Inc., One Meralco Foundation, Maynilad, Metro Pacific Investments Foundation, and Makati Medical Center Foundation; Lifeline utilities are mobilizing to restore services in Egay-affected areas in Northern Luzon. Launched at the PDRF Emergency Operations Center in Pampanga, Project REACHED is a two-year program that solves the recurring problem of establishing communications after a major disaster. Project REACHED aims to provide select LGUs with the necessary equipment and training to ensure access to communications during and after calamities and help coordinate response and recovery operations in affected areas. The LGUs of Butuan, Virac, and Borongan were selected based on their vulnerability to typhoons, economic revenue, population, resources, and competitive index resilience score. This project will harness public-private partnerships and will be implemented in collaboration with the Department of Information and Communications Technology, Office of Civil Defense, World Food Program, Globe Telecom and PLDT-Smart. In his remarks, Thanh Le PSM, Counsellor Development of the Australian Embassy in the Philippines, noted that “Building long-term disaster and climate resilience has been a critical priority for Australia in the Philippines. We recognize that natural disasters and climate change are ‘threat multipliers’ that disproportionately affect society’s weakest and most vulnerable sectors. Investing in resilient emergency communications can save countless lives and prevent vulnerable communities from experiencing even more difficulties and hardships.” “Typhoon Egay’s destructive swath through the northern Philippines is a reminder of how critical telecommunications are during a crisis. Our thanks to the Australian Government for their support. May Project REACHED help make life safer for the people of Butuan, Virac, and Borongan—three cities that are frequently hit by storms,” said Rene “Butch” Meily, PDRF President. The investment in Project REACHED is a critical component of Australia’s development assistance in the Philippines that aims to enhance local resilience to natural disasters.

P130B mandatory investment needed for NAIA rehab
The Department of Transportation said the winning bidder for the rehabilitation of the Ninoy Aquino International Airport needs to prepare at least a P130 billion mandatory investment to deliver the much-needed upgrade for the country’s main air hub within three to five years. “There is a commitment to spend a certain amount of money for infrastructure. We are looking at something called mandatory infrastructure that should be implemented within the next five years,” Transportation Secretary Jaime J. Bautista told reporters on the sidelines of the Philippine Economic Briefing in Pasay City. “We’re looking at something that may reach almost a hundred, 130 billion pesos in investment in the next three years or five years,” Bautista said. The DoTr will publish the Terms of Reference for the solicited bidding to rehabilitate the Ninoy Aquino International Airport by next month so that contract will be awarded as early as December. The National Economic and Development Authority or NEDA, chaired by President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr., approved the solicited bid to privatize the operations of NAIA. NEDA Secretary Arsenio Balisacan said the P170.6-billion project will help address the long-standing issues at the country’s main air hub such as congestion and limited aircraft movements that usually cause inconvenience to passengers. Last month, the DoTr and the Manila International Airport Authority submitted a joint proposal to the NEDA Board to privatize the operations and management of NAIA within 15 years. The government’s plan was shorter than the 25-year deal offered by Manila International Airport Consortium or MIAC who vied to take over NAIA. MIAC’s P267 billion proposal includes P211 billion of capital investments, P57 billion of which will be rolled out over the first five years. The remaining P154 billion, on the other hand, will be invested over the remainder of the proposed 25-year concession period. Under the NAIA Masterplan, there are three key phases of development, which will feature capacity and reliability increase, and overall improvements in passenger experience. Before the pandemic, NAIA had already breached this ceiling when it registered a peak of 47.9 million passengers in 2019. MIAC is composed of Aboitiz InfraCapital, Inc., AC Infrastructure Holdings Corporation, Asia's Emerging Dragon Corporation, Alliance Global – Infracorp Development, Inc., Filinvest Development Corporation, and JG Summit Infrastructure Holdings Corporation along with Global Infrastructure Partners. Massive railways projects slated In the same forum, Bautista also bared that the DoTr will take on railway projects with a total length of more than 1,000 kilometers. The project, which was also mentioned during Monday’s SONA, includes the following: PNR North Long Haul, 853 kilometers; Panay Railway, 100 kilometers; North Mindanao Railway, 54 kilometers; and San Mateo Railway, 17 kilometers. According to Bautista, all of these projects have secured funding to initiate feasibility studies. He said procurement is now ongoing for consultancy firms to create the feasibility studies for the rail projects lined up by the administration.

Nightmarish traffic
It does seem that no one in this government is gutsy enough to single-handedly wrangle with Metro Manila’s seemingly unsolvable monstrous traffic. Either that or everyone in this government doesn’t give a damn, making all of them nothing but sadistic nihilists. Still, I’m hoping, despite all indications to the contrary, that someone will finally do something and prove me wrong. Who then is going to be our traffic monster slayer? He or she is going to be our superhero. Far more relevant to us, in fact, is what he or she is going to do about the traffic in the metropolis rather than the ridiculousness of the tiff between the Vice President and the House Speaker. Still, for the moment, we need to be harsh. We truly can’t afford scared-shitless bureaucrats, afraid to take on the traffic, particularly now that enfolding “kapre-like” Metro Manila traffic is blowing up around our heads, after a year or two of traffic-free bliss during the pandemic. But traffic-free bliss is now a distant memory like vaccination schedules, replaced by rising, even flaring, tempers over traffic. As I write this, my social media feed is full of Christmas-light pictures of last Friday night’s nerve-wracking, stand-still, sleep-inducing Carmageddon on both sides of EDSA. EDSA is once more a horrendous nightmare, despite an exclusive bus lane. This only proves there are just too many private vehicles and that politicians and policymakers don’t dare go against the car industry. Similarly, just last weekend, like most weekends in my experience, the supposedly traffic-busting Skyway turned into a turtle-pace version of the “Fast and Furious” movies. So what is happening? Like you, I don’t know. Lip service-paying bureaucrats and policymakers, who habitually go into posturing fits about solutions to our daily living issues, are suddenly clamming up. But shouldn’t they at least squeak the maddening traffic, like for instance why Roxas Boulevard — my daily route — has been in such a mess these past months? The major road artery is currently undergoing rehabilitation. Its whole length from Baclaran to Luneta is being re-cemented, largely because the crucial road had turned into a wavy asphalt version of Manila Bay ever since trailer trucks were allowed on it. But even before Roxas could slowly become serviceable again, trailer trucks — and for that matter all types of trucks — are back with a vengeance. And frustratingly of all times, right smack during rush hour! So whatever happened to the rush-hour truck ban? As far as I know, the rush-hour truck ban hasn’t been recalled. Neither has the so-called TAB system, a system agreed upon by Manila Port officials and the MMDA to control the entry and exit of legitimate trailer trucks on Roxas. The rehab isn’t something to crow about either — ordinary cement takes ages to dry. Why can’t the rehab of a major artery like Roxas be done like EDSA where quick dry cement is used every time it is re-blocked on weekends? I’m pretty sure in your daily commute, you too have your own traffic horror stories and peeves, which, for one, probably include a thing or two about traffic enforcers. Now, traffic enforcers are still up to their same old dirty tricks, like they aren’t there when you need them, or congregating at notorious mulcting spots, ticketing the unwary with the non-existent violation of swerving, like near the Metropolitan Theater just off Quezon Bridge. Nothing drastic has been done about these brazen enforcers. Brazen traffic enforcers are one thing. But even more barefaced is the disgusting display of power and pelf by entitled pols or officials who, with their convoys complete with police motorcycle escorts, literally test our haggard patience while navigating traffic-choked, flood-prone streets. Yup, this government hasn’t put its foot down on such flagrant abuse. It has even gotten worse. And to think this President wants his legacy to be that he looked out for the common man.

Gilas training intensifies
Gilas Pilipinas shifts its training to high gear in preparation for the 32nd Southeast Asian Games. Gilas team manager Butch Antonio told Daily Tribune that they will have an intense nine-day training in Manila before leaving for Phnom Penh on 6 May, just in time for the opening of the men’s basketball event on 9 May at the Elephant Hall 2 inside the Morodok Techo Stadium. “We will practice on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. Then, we’ll take a break on Saturday. We will resume on Sunday until before departure on 6 May,” Antonio said. Leading the way for Gilas Pilipinas will be players from TNT Tropang Giga and Barangay Ginebra San Miguel – the protagonists in the Philippine Basketball Association Governors’ Cup best-of-seven finals series that wrapped up last week. Tropang Giga stars Calvin Oftana and Poy Erram as well as Kings stars Japeth Aguilar, Stanley Pringle, Christian Standhardinger, Jeremiah Gray, Scottie Thompson, and naturalized player Justin Brownlee will be at the helm when the Filipinos reclaim the glory they lost to Indonesia in the previous edition of the Games in Hanoi. For good measure, Gilas coach Chot Reyes invited Filipino-American hotshot Mikey Williams to be part of the pool following the absence of injured Roger Pogoy. Playing for the national team has been a dream of the 31-year-old gunner from Los Angeles. The closest thing he ever got to represent the country was when he played for Mighty Sports in the William Jones Cup and the Dubai International Tournament. Pogoy was supposed to join the aspirants but was sidelined by a fractured pinky he suffered in the middle of their championship series. He was reduced into a mere cheerleader starting Game 4 and was ruled out for the biennial meet. Also sitting out will be June Mar Fajardo, who suffered a torn medial collateral ligament during his stint with San Miguel Beer in the East Asia Super League last March. Although the six-time PBA Most Valuable Player is already doing strengthening procedures, he has yet to do some on-court workouts and scrimmages. A member of the national team program for a decade now, Fajardo confirmed to Daily Tribune that he will not be able to see action in the biennial meet. “I haven’t had hard court activities yet because I’m still doing some strengthening exercises,” said Fajardo, who appeared fit when he showed up as one of the local ambassadors of FIBA World Cup during the partnership launching of the Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas, San Miguel Beer and Cignal/TV5. “I haven’t even touched a basketball as I’m more focused on my rehab.” While Pogoy and Fajardo won’t be able to see action, returning Ginebra veteran forward Japeth Aguilar is determined to rejoin the team, according to Kings coach Tim Cone, who serves as one of the assistant coaches of Reyes at Gilas along with the younger Reyes and Jong Uichico. “He certainly wants to join and play,” wrote Cone in a Viber message. “But only if he’s 100 percent fit and that is to be determined by the SBP medical team.” Aguilar is also coming off a knee injury and he only returned to action midway the championship series. Other PBA players included in the Gilas pool are CJ Perez, Marcio Lassiter and Chris Ross of San Miguel Beer, Arvin Tolentino of NorthPort, Brandon Ganuelas-Rosser of NLEX, Chris Newsome, Aaron Black and Raymond Almazan of Meralco, collegiate stars Michael and Ben Phillips and Kevin Quiambao of La Salle, incoming Ateneo forward Mason Amos and Adamson’s Jerom Lastimosa.
