George Calvelo, ABS-CBN News MAYNILA — Inaasahang matatapos sa kalagitnaan ng taon ang kontrobersiyal na pagtatambak ng crushed dolomite sa Manila Bay, sabi ngayong Huwebes ni Environment Undersecretary Jonas Leones. Nasa 60 hanggang 70 porsiyento nang tapos ang pagtatambak ng dolomite sand sa Manila Bay, na posibleng matapos sa Hunyo o Hulyo, ani Leones na nag-inspeksiyon sa lugar nitong umaga ng Huwebes. Ipinaliwanag din ni Leones na ang paglalagay ng artificial white sand beach ay bahagi lamang ng beach nourishment project ng Department of Environment and Natural Resources sa Manila Bay, na ngayo'y 50 hanggang 60 porsiyento nang tapos. Ayon kay Leones, sa P389 milyong pondo para sa beach nourishment project, P23 milyon hanggang P28 milyon ang ginamit sa pagtatambak sa dolomite. "Contracted na kasi rin 'yan eh so may mga liabilities din ang bawat parties kung 'di makakapag-comply," ani Leones. Nauna nang sinabi ni Leones na 2019 pa inilaan ang pondo para sa "dolomite beach" project kaya hindi na puwedeng itigil. Binatikos noong Miyerkoles ng ilang grupo ang muling pagtatambak ng gobyerno ng dolomite ng Manila Bay sa kasagsagan ng pagsipa ng mga kaso ng COVID-19 sa bansa.

Don’t let a “good” crisis go to waste: One-upmanship in local responses to the COVID-19 pandemic Julian Thomas B. Alvareza, Jahm Mae E. Guintoa,b, Joseph J. Capunob† aAsian Development Bank bUniversity of the Philippines Abstract Unlike in previous crises, the COVID-19 pandemic has wrought a crisis affecting all population groups, all economic sectors and all jurisdictions in the Philippines, as elsewhere. The impact of the COVID-19 vary across localities, however, partly due to differences in local government responses to the pandemic. Our objective is to examine the patterns in the types and timing of local responses among neighboring local government units (cities) for evidence of one- upmanship among their incumbent leaders (mayors). We assembled data for 25 selected cities and then grouped them into 28 neighborhood clusters. Using three indicators, we measure the immediacy, primacy and distinctiveness of the local responses within each cluster over the period March 2020-March 2021. Of the 28 clusters, we find in 19 (67.9 percent) evidence of one- upmanship consistent with the view that the type and timing of local responses are driven by mayors who wish to signal their talents and abilities.

Cimatu, who has been credited for containing the COVID-19 outbreak in Cebu City, said that barangays with high numbers of COVID-19 cases here should be prioritized. Based on the latest data from the City Health Office, the top 10 barangays with the highest number of cases are: Estefania with 100; Taculing with 77; Villamonte with 65; Banago with 62; Mansilingan and Mandalagan both with 61 cases; Alijis with 55 cases; Tangub with 46 cases; Bata with 39 cases; and Garanda with 38. “This is where the role of village officials – especially barangay captains – comes in,” Cimatu said.
