HOMEOWNERS of Sunberry Homes in Sudtonggan, Barangay Basak, Lapu-Lapu City continue to complain about exorbitant water rates a year after raising the matter before the government.Now, they have a new axe to grind: they are accusing the developer of preventing them from using the subdivision’s facilities.On Wednesday, Feb. 14, 2024, the homeowners association sent a letter to the Department of Human Settlement and Urban Development (DSHUD) 7 Human Settlement Adjudication Commission to seek help. In the letter furnished to SunStar Cebu, residents asked the DSHUD 7 to instruct Contempo Property Holdings Inc., the developer, to cancel all outstanding balances on their water bills. They also asked the developer to hand over the management of the water supply for the subdivision, as well as all relevant records and documents related to it, to the homeowners association.The homeowners also demanded that the developer allow them to use the subdivision’s amenities and reconnect the electricity. They seek moral damages in the amount of P100,000 and P30,000 in legal fees.On Friday, Feb. 16, Antonio Dosado, one of the complainants, sent a text message to SunStar Cebu stating that Contempo continues to demand payment for water they consumed despite allegedly turning over control of the subdivision’s water supply to the homeowners association. The association had already implemented a minimum charge of P10 per cubic meter. He said several residents reported having yellowish water every morning despite the high cost of water.Dosado said their situation has gotten worse, as they have also been denied access to the subdivision’s facilities. He said they initially requested the DSHUD 7 to deploy a technical panel to inspect the subdivision, but the agency did not respond. This prompted them to send another request on Wednesday, he said.An official from Sunberry Homes Inc., who asked not to be named, said on Friday that management replied to the homeowners association’s letter last November.The official also clarified that Contempo Property Holdings Inc.is not involved in the Sudtonggan subdivision project. The official claimed that DSHUD 7 dismissed the case against them because Sunberry management and the homeowners association could not compromise. However, the official could not provide further details, saying their legal department would release an official statement.Last March, 63 homeowners from the subdivision accused the Sunberry management of charging 2,200 percent more than the Metropolitan Cebu Water District (MCWD) for their water of which supply was allegedly intermittent.The homeowners also claimed that water from the developer’s private deep well was occasionally murky and contained foreign articles. On the other hand, water from a third-party supplier was safe to use, but it cost more.Dosado had told SunStar Cebu that Sunberry management failed to tap a steady water supply from MCWD because it did not comply with the standard equipment. To compensate for the shortage, residents were supplied with domestic water from two sources: the developer’s private deep well in the subdivision and a third-party water distributor.A Sunberry official explained that the developer had no choice but to charge homeowners more because it had to secure clean water from third-party suppliers. The MCWD had informed them that there was no available water supply or source in the area. Sunberry initially supplied residents with water from a deep well, but the water quality was poor, prompting it to seek third-party suppliers.The management said only 30 percent of the total cost of water sourced from third-party suppliers was billed to the homeowners. It subsidized the 70 percent, including administration fees such as electricity cost during the distribution of water, manpower in charge, and weekly cleaning of the water tank.The management said the homeowners knew that the subdivision was not connected to MCWD before moving in. However, MCWD later advised them that they could apply for the waterline and apply for temporary bulk meter water.However, in its letter to the DSHUD 7 last Wednesday, the homeowners said this was not fulfilled due to inadequate and substandard piping systems in the subdivision. As a result, MCWD declined to furnish the developer with water.The homeowners said Contempo did lower the water rate to P123 per cubic meter, but it still costs more than water in neighboring subdivisions and even upscale real estate developments in Cebu. Sunberry management allegedly failed to provide a reasonable explanation for the continued high water cost despite the reduced charge.However, the developer continues to refuse to surrender water management responsibilities to the homeowners association. In response, the homeowners association formally demanded the transfer of water management through a letter and sought intervention from DHSUD for mediation and a mutually beneficial resolution.During the proceedings, the homeowners said the developer initially agreed to relinquish water management if the homeowners association settled outstanding water bills, which were calculated at P350 and P123 per cubic meter of consumption. The homeowners complied, and settled the entire amount.But up to now, the developer has failed to hand over water management to the homeowners association.

The SC En Banc said the poll body gravely abused its discretion when it disqualified Smartmatic even before the firm submitted any bid, without any reference to the eligibility requirements prescribed by its Bids and Awards Committee.It said the Comelec implemented a discretionary pre-qualification regime antithetical to the Government Procurement and Reform Act.However, the SC said ruling shows no sufficient basis to nullify the public bidding and the P17.9-billion contract that the Comelec signed last month with South Korea’s Miru Systems Co.

Several vehicles fell into the chilly waters, and rescuers searched for survivors.The operators of the ship issued a mayday call moments before the crash that took down the Francis Scott Key Bridge, enabling authorities to limit vehicle traffic on the span, Maryland’s governor said.The ship crashed into one of the bridge’s supports, causing the structure to break apart like a toy. It tumbled into the water in a matter of seconds — a shocking spectacle that was captured on video and posted on social media. The vessel caught fire, and thick, black smoke billowed out of it.The crash happened long before the busy morning commute in what one official called a “developing mass casualty event.” Two people were rescued, and officials said six people were still unaccounted for. All were believed to be those working on the bridge when it collapsed.“Never would you think that you would see, physically see, the Key Bridge tumble down like that. It looked like something out of an action movie,” said Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott, calling it “an unthinkable tragedy.”Authorities said a crew of unknown size was working on the bridge at the time of the collapse and that sonar had detected cars in the water, which is about 50 feet (15 meters) deep. The water temperature was about 47 degrees Fahrenheit (8 degrees Celsius) before dawn Tuesday, according to a buoy that collects data for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.Earlier, Kevin Cartwright, director of communications for the Baltimore Fire Department, told The Associated Press that several vehicles were on the bridge at the time of the collapse, including one the size of a tractor-trailer truck. The bridge came down in the middle of night when traffic would be lighter than during the day when thousands of cars traverse the span.Cartwright called the collapse a “developing mass casualty event,” though he didn't know at the time how many people were affected.Synergy Marine Group — which manages the ship, called the Dali — confirmed the vessel hit a pillar of the bridge at about 1:30 a.m. while in control of one or more pilots, who are local specialists who help navigate vessels safely into ports. The ship is owned by Grace Ocean Private Ltd.It said all crew members, including the two pilots on board, were accounted for and there were no reports of any injuries.As the sun rose Tuesday, jagged remnants of the bridge were illuminated jutting up from the waters surface. The on-ramp ended abruptly where the span once began.Cartwright said that some cargo appeared to be dangling from the bridge, which spans the Patapsco River at the entrance to a busy harbor. The river leads to the Port of Baltimore, a major hub for shipping on the East Coast. Opened in 1977, the bridge is named for the writer of “The Star-Spangled Banner.”Maryland Transportation Secretary Paul Wiedefeld said all vessel traffic into and out of the port would be suspended until further notice, though the facility was still open to trucks.Governor Wes Moore declared a state of emergency and said he was working to get federal resources deployed. The FBI was on the scene, but said there was no credible information to suggest terrorism. President Joe Biden was briefed.The Dali was headed from Baltimore to Colombo, Sri Lanka, and flying under a Singapore flag, according to data from Marine Traffic.

(TPM/SunStar Philippines) licensed online casinos BALTIMORE -- A container ship lost power and rammed into a major bridge in Baltimore early Tuesday, March 26, 2024, causing it to snap and plunge into the river below. Several vehicles fell into the chilly waters, and rescuers searched for survivors.The operators of the ship issued a mayday call moments before the crash that took down the Francis Scott Key Bridge, enabling authorities to limit vehicle traffic on the span, Maryland’s governor said.The ship crashed into one of the bridge’s supports, causing the structure to break apart like a toy. It tumbled into the water in a matter of seconds — a shocking spectacle that was captured on video and posted on social media. The vessel caught fire, and thick, black smoke billowed out of it.The crash happened long before the busy morning commute in what one official called a “developing mass casualty event.” Two people were rescued, and officials said six people were still unaccounted for. All were believed to be those working on the bridge when it collapsed.“Never would you think that you would see, physically see, the Key Bridge tumble down like that. It looked like something out of an action movie,” said Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott, calling it “an unthinkable tragedy.”Authorities said a crew of unknown size was working on the bridge at the time of the collapse and that sonar had detected cars in the water, which is about 50 feet (15 meters) deep. The water temperature was about 47 degrees Fahrenheit (8 degrees Celsius) before dawn Tuesday, according to a buoy that collects data for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.Earlier, Kevin Cartwright, director of communications for the Baltimore Fire Department, told The Associated Press that several vehicles were on the bridge at the time of the collapse, including one the size of a tractor-trailer truck. The bridge came down in the middle of night when traffic would be lighter than during the day when thousands of cars traverse the span.Cartwright called the collapse a “developing mass casualty event,” though he didn't know at the time how many people were affected.Synergy Marine Group — which manages the ship, called the Dali — confirmed the vessel hit a pillar of the bridge at about 1:30 a.m. while in control of one or more pilots, who are local specialists who help navigate vessels safely into ports. The ship is owned by Grace Ocean Private Ltd.It said all crew members, including the two pilots on board, were accounted for and there were no reports of any injuries.As the sun rose Tuesday, jagged remnants of the bridge were illuminated jutting up from the waters surface. The on-ramp ended abruptly where the span once began.Cartwright said that some cargo appeared to be dangling from the bridge, which spans the Patapsco River at the entrance to a busy harbor. The river leads to the Port of Baltimore, a major hub for shipping on the East Coast. Opened in 1977, the bridge is named for the writer of “The Star-Spangled Banner.”Maryland Transportation Secretary Paul Wiedefeld said all vessel traffic into and out of the port would be suspended until further notice, though the facility was still open to trucks.Governor Wes Moore declared a state of emergency and said he was working to get federal resources deployed. The FBI was on the scene, but said there was no credible information to suggest terrorism. President Joe Biden was briefed.The Dali was headed from Baltimore to Colombo, Sri Lanka, and flying under a Singapore flag, according to data from Marine Traffic. The container ship is about 985 feet (300 meters) long and about 157 feet (48 meters) wide, according to the website.Danish shipping giant Maersk said it had chartered the vessel, which was carrying its customers’ cargo. No Maersk crew and personnel were on board. The collapse caused Maersk share at the Nasdaq Copenhagen to plummet two percent in early Tuesday trading.In 2001, a freight train carrying hazardous materials derailed in a tunnel in downtown Baltimore and caught fire, spewing black smoke into surrounding neighborhoods and forcing officials to temporarily close all major roads into the city.
