Sugbo News

Cebu Provincial Government's official news group. Public information dissemination is a critical part of governance. During Gov. (END)

Admittedly, mainstream media could not channel all the information that the public needs to know from the government’s perspective; hence the need for the government to form its own media organization which aim is to effectively create public awareness and acceptance of its policies and programs and work to improve the image of government.

“Sugbo News,” the official news arm of the Cebu Provincia

l Government, was created during Governor Gwendolyn Garcia’s first three terms in office. It started as print media and eventually transitioned to a now defunct television channel. Garcia’s return to Capitol in 2019 after six years in Congress, Sugbo News was revived, but this time, in digital platforms of Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, Instagram (and a website is underway). These have been found to be more effective and cheaper ways of communicating to the public who is now spending more and more time on their gadgets rather than read the paper or watch television. Manned by professional creatives at the Cebu Provincial Information Office, a division of the Provincial Governor’s Office, Sugbo News documented Cebu Province’s accomplishments during the first 100 days after the return of Gov. Gwen Garcia in office for a fourth term in 2019 and has never looked back since then. Its staple output consists of regular news in English (posted on social media as soon as they happen) and a Cebuano version of the news with video support for a wider reach among the masses. It also produces special features and audio-visual presentations featuring Capitol’s accomplishments in targets on infrastructure development and delivery of basic services to constituents, policies, and events. Sugbo News has continually expanded to now include live streaming coverages of Capitol’s important meetings, agreement signings, and programs; as well as Capitol officials’ visits to the municipalities and component cities bringing various programs. This gives the public a better perspective of how government programs are implemented. One of the highlights in 2021 was the live coverage of the Provincial Board’s special session when members of the national government’s Inter-Agency Task Force (IATF) was summoned. Sugbo News has also become a source of news stories for the mainstream media, both local and national. Recently, public information offices of local government units outside Cebu have come to observe and are following Sugbo News’ format as an effective way to carry out their functions as the government’s promotional and information arm. What started as a traditional social media platform has slowly evolved to reflect the signs of the constantly changing times. But one thing remains constant: Sugbo News ensures that Cebuanos get to see that their government is working for them, blazing trails for other local government units to follow, even during the darkest times of the pandemic and Super typhoon Odette, until the province sees once more the beautiful sunshine of normalcy. # #

Sugbo News has also adopted vlogging, the more preferred format of this generation’s digital consumption, when it comes to packaging its news contents and human-interest stories without at all losing any of its journalistic discipline. The recent and most notable conduct of live feeds during live programs was the recently concluded Pasigarbo sa Sugbo ritual showdown on August 28. Sugbo News’ live feed on Facebook generated over a million views, facilitating the casting of online votes of over 116 thousand viewers from all over the world.

In recognition of the unwavering support that the Cebu City Government extended to Pasigarbo sa Sugbo 2024, the Cebu Provincial Government has donated P3 million to the city.

The donation serves as a gesture of gratitude for the all-out commitment that Cebu City demonstrated in ensuring the success of the Festival of Festivals held on August 25 and 26.

Gov. Gwen Garcia, along with the Provincial Board Members, personally turned over the check to Cebu City Administrator Atty. Kristine Joyce Batucan during the "Gabii sa Pasalamat" at the Capitol Social Hall on August 31.

It can be recalled that Cebu City has consistently participated in all Pasigarbo sa Sugbo coordination meetings. In fact, Cebu City Tourism Officer Neil Odchigue detailed the extensive preparations undertaken by the City Hall, which included the deployment of 279 traffic personnel, 8 mobile patrols, 124 disaster risk reduction officers, 244 members from the local school board for civil works assistance, and 268 maintenance personnel were tasked with managing 306 portalets and portabaths.

Cebu City deployed its manpower from the start of rehearsals, through the grand festival showdown on August 25 at the Cebu City Sports Center, and until the conclusion of the awarding ceremony on August 26. | 𝐵𝐽𝑅

𝐆𝐀𝐁𝐈𝐈 𝐒𝐀 𝐏𝐀𝐒𝐀𝐋𝐀𝐌𝐀𝐓 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟒: 𝐂𝐄𝐋𝐄𝐁𝐑𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐔𝐍𝐈𝐓𝐘 𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐒𝐔𝐂𝐂𝐄𝐒𝐒

The Capitol recognized the immense and invaluable contributions of its government and private sector partners that helped make the month-long 455th founding anniversary celebration of Cebu Province a resounding success.

The “Gabii sa Pasalamat” (A Night of Thanksgiving) on August 31 gave due recognition to Cebu’s mayors for rallying behind the Governor’s call for unity in the province, as well as for leading the way for respective LGU-contingents in delivering “levelled-up” performances in the recently concluded Pasigarbo sa Sugbo 2024.

“What a redemption for 2024 that this Pasigarbo has been. Of all the Pasigarbo since 2008, this is the most astonishing, spectacular, grandest, and truly a celebration of Cebuano pride and indomitable spirit,” Gov. Gwen said in her speech at the Capitol Social Hall.

Aside from plaques of appreciation, each of the 52 participating municipal and city mayor was presented with a framed photo of their respective contingent’s performance during the ritual showdown, as well as his or her framed picture grabbed from the mayor’s introduction video.

The Cebu City Government, headed by Acting Mayor Raymond Garcia, was also recognized by the Capitol for its solidarity and unwavering support in the Pasigabo, allowing it to be held at the Cebu City Sports Center and deploying City Hall personnel to man the traffic, augment medical personnel and first-aid responders, as well as hundreds of technical staff that rendered service not just at the CCSP but also in 30 DepEd schools in the city that were used as billeting quarters.

The Philippine National Police in the region, province, and the city; as well as AFT Joint Task Group Cebu, Philippine Navy, Philippine Coast Guard, and Bureau of Fire Protection were also recognized for deploying close to 2,000 personnel along the parade route and venue of the Pasigarbo to maintain security as well as peace and order.

Among the agencies of government that became very instrumental in the success of the Pasigarbo were DepEd, LTO, LTFRB; as well as public utility firms VECO and MCWD.

The Pasigarbo’s private suppliers and corporate sponsors were also given plaques of appreciation for their support. These included telcos Globe, Smart-PLDT, Dito, Converge; as well as Coca-Cola, Pepsi, Nature’s Spring, San Miguel foods, and Purefoods among various others.

“We are also very grateful kanimo, Gov, for giving us a venue to flex our local talent and our local pride,” Lapu-Lapu City Mayor Junard Chan said.

Lapu-Lapu, though does not fall under the supervisory jurisdiction of Cebu Province, chose to share in the festivities by joining in the Pasigarbo as a competing contingent.

“We are thankful because of your unwavering and incomparable love and leadership to the Cebuanos nga evident gyod kaayo tungod kay tanan lungsod ug dakbayan nakatagamtam sa serbisyo ug mehoras gikan sa Kapitolyo,” Toledo City Mayor Marjorie Perales, for her part, said.

The Capitol also recognized its partners for the success of the inaugural Cebu Investment and Tourism, and Health Summit which was attended by a 20-man delegation from Cebu’s sister-region, Saint Petersburg, Russia.

These partners are the Mandaue Chamber of Commerce and Industry as well as the Vicente Sotto Memorial Medical Center.

“You have really paved a way to creating a larger gateway to the world,” MCCI president Mark Anthony Ynoc said as he thanked the governor for the opportunity to organize the Cebu Investment and Tourism Summit.

The “Gabii sa Pasalamat” marked the closing ceremonies of Cebu’s 455th founding anniversary month-long celebration.

Cebu third district Congressman Pablo John “PJ” Garcia launched “Ang Mga Eskwelahan Labs ni PJ” at the Science and Technology Summit held at the Performing Arts Hall of the University of the Philippines Cebu on August 29.

“Ang Mga Eskwelahan Labs ni PJ” aims to elevate the standard of STEM education and serve as an inspiration for other districts.

The initiative, designed to revolutionize STEM education, saw the turnover of 22 Versatile Instrumentation System for Science Education and Research (VISSER) kits to all 22 STEM public high schools of the third district.

VISSER, a research-grade laboratory system developed by researchers from the University of the Philippines, is set to enhance the learning experience of students by providing advanced tools for science education.

The summit also featured an exhibit of award-winning science research projects curated by high school and senior high school students.

In his speech, Congressman Garcia expressed gratitude to private organizations like Grab Philippines and Concentrix for their support in this transformative program.

Grab Philippines contributed two VISSER kits, while Concentrix initially donated 30 secondhand laptops to be distributed to selected public high schools in the district.

A live demonstration of the “Modern Lab In A Box” was performed by co-inventors Ralen Rose Gloria Malatbalat and Hazel Glaine Sales, showcasing the practical applications and capabilities of the VISSER kits.

Cong. PJ Garcia also pledged to extend the benefits of this initiative by equipping all 63 public high schools of his district with VISSER kits, reinforcing his commitment to the advancement of education in the region.

The summit was attended by third district Board Member (BM) Victoria Corominas-Toribio, BM Atty. Jiembo Borgonia, and BM Kuya Nick Pepito; as well as Toledo City Mayor Marjorie Perales, Asturias Mayor Dana Andrew Dumdum, and Barili Mayor John-John Garcia; along with various institutional and government partners, including the Cebu Chamber of Commerce and Industry, DOST 7, Central Visayas Information Sharing Network Foundation, and AFOS Foundation.

Mandaue City’s Government Center broke ground today, August 29, one day before the city celebrates its 55th founding anniversary, and Gov. Gwen Garcia saw this as the redemption of the old Cebu International Convention Center (CICC).

The Governor graced the groundbreaking ceremony at the CICC compound and joined Mayor Jonas Cortes, Vice Mayor Glenn Bercede, and members of the city council in unveiling the Government Center’s design as well as the ceremonial laying of the capsule.

“The CICC has had, like the Cebuano story, a long and historic past. And when we thought that it would just start to decay and be renovated to the dustbin of forgottenness, kining inyong proyekto karon mao kini ang redemption. The redemption of the CICC and the redemption of the Cebuano spirit,” Gov. Gwen said in her speech.

The new Government Center is designed to house the executive and legislative offices of the city, national government satellite offices, a public terminal, a park, and parking facilities. It is set to be a convenient, efficient, one-stop shop for Mandaue residents and will feature amenities that are friendly to persons with disabilities and senior citizens.

The design of the center is inspired by a modern “Bantay Hari” or watchtower, symbolizing a leadership that watches over its people, said Mayor Cortes, who was present in a civilian capacity owing to his suspension.

“This project goes beyond a physical structure. It is a symbol of our collective hope and unwavering commitment to progress. Ang dugay nang pangandoy, natuman na gayod,” said Mayor Cortes.

To fund the project, the city secured a P3 billion loan from the Development Bank of the Philippines, to be repaid over 15 years using local revenues and income from rentable commercial spaces.

The CICC, a 3-storey convention center, was built during Gov. Gwen’s first round in office for the 12th Asean Summit and 2nd East Asia Summit in 2007.

It was severely damaged by the 7.2 magnitude earthquake in 2013 and Supertyphoon Yolanda a month later. It was acquired by Mandaue City in 2019.

𝐆𝐎𝐕. 𝐆𝐖𝐄𝐍: 𝐅𝐋 𝐋𝐈𝐙𝐀’𝐒 ‘𝐋𝐀𝐁 𝐅𝐎𝐑 𝐀𝐋𝐋’ 𝐈𝐒 ‘𝐋𝐎𝐕𝐄 𝐅𝐎𝐑 𝐀𝐋𝐋’

𝐓𝐀𝐋𝐈𝐒𝐀𝐘 𝐂𝐈𝐓𝐘, 𝐂𝐄𝐁𝐔 — Gov. Gwen Garcia could not help but admire the commitment of First Lady Liza Araneta-Marcos in seeing to it that the programs close to the heart of her husband, President Ferdinand “B**gbong” Marcos Jr. (PBBM), are properly carried out.

On Thursday, August 29, the Governor and a slew of Cebu officials joined the First Lady at the Adventist Academy Cebu Gymnasium in this city for the culmination of the three-day “Lab for All” Program whose implementation nationwide has been spearheaded by FL Liza.

In her speech, the First Lady highlighted the impact of the program, noting that more than 3,000 medical services were provided to over 2,000 walk-in patients from August 27–29. The medical mission series began on August 27, covering Barangays Ward I in Minglanilla, Lagtang, Pooc and Bulacao in Talisay City.

The “Lab for All” initiative is part of the broader community-based health project “Laboratoryo, Konsulta, at Gamot para sa Lahat,” inspired by PBBM’s goal of bringing health services closer to every Filipino.

The program offers a wide range of free healthcare services, including physical and medical examinations, consultations, basic laboratory tests such as blood chemistry, hematology, ECG, and digital X-ray, as well as free medicines.

“When I told my husband (PBBM) that we were coming to Cebu for the ‘Lab for All,’ sabi niya, ‘Cebu? But Gwen has the best healthcare system; why are you even bothering?’ Sabi ko, ‘Honey, just small-time lang kami, but it’s the thought that counts,’” FL Liza said in her speech, sharing an endearing conversation she had with the President.

For her part, Gov. Gwen admired the First Lady’s energy and dedication, noting that “Lab for All” really meant so much more.

“She’s really going around. That’s no mean feat ha. Dili baya na sayon in this scorching heat, pero iya gyod ng giduol tanan,” Gov. Gwen told 𝐒𝐮𝐠𝐛𝐨 𝐍𝐞𝐰𝐬.

“‘Lab’ maybe spelled ‘L-A-B’ here, but I think mismo sa First Lady, you can see ‘L-O-V-E’ for all. It’s really ‘Love For All’ coming from First Lady herself who is the real deal, totoong tao, no pretenses, no hypocrisy, walang mga false masks,’” the Governor added.

In addition to healthcare services, beneficiaries also accessed services provided by various government agencies such as TESDA, DTI, NHA, PCSO, DA-KADIWA, CHED, PAG-IBIG, NGCP, LTO, PAO, DBP, and PhilHealth, among others.

The First Lady was also accompanied by Senator B**g Revilla, Department of Health Secretary Teodoro Herbosa, Department of Social Welfare and Development Secretary Rex Gatchalian, and Presidential Assistant for the Visayas Usec. Terence Calatrava.

Talisay City Mayor Samsam Gullas and Toledo City Mayor Marjorie Perales led Cebu mayors in welcoming the First Lady; as well as Congresswoman Rhea Gullas of Cebu’s first district; Congresswoman Emmarie Ouano-Dizon of the lone district of Mandaue; Congresswoman Janice Salimbangon of the fourth district; Congresswoman Cindy Chan of the lone district of Lapu-Lapu; and Congressman Edu Rama of Cebu City South District.

𝐈𝐍𝐀𝐔𝐆𝐔𝐑𝐀𝐋 𝐌𝐀𝐂𝐓𝐀𝐍–𝐁𝐀𝐍𝐓𝐀𝐘𝐀𝐍 𝐅𝐋𝐈𝐆𝐇𝐓 𝐋𝐀𝐔𝐍𝐂𝐇𝐄𝐃

𝐒𝐀𝐍𝐓𝐀 𝐅𝐄, 𝐂𝐄𝐁𝐔 — What was once a six-hour trip by road from the city, including a ferry ride, has now been replaced by a 30-minute flight that provides convenience and seamless connectivity for travelers and visitors to Bantayan Island.

On August 28, RP-C 9962, a 72-seater ATR twin-engine turboprop aircraft of King Aces Travel and Tours, made its inaugural flight and took off at the Mactan Cebu International Airport in Lapu-Lapu City at exactly 8:08 AM.

It arrived at the Bantayan Island Airport 28 minutes later at 8:36 AM.

The development is a game-changer for Bantayan tourism especially as the regular commercial Mactan–Bantayan flight route is scheduled twice a week, on Fridays and Sundays, to give way for high-spending tourists to reach the island on the weekend and depart for the weekday.

“Amo ning ipadayon kay nakita namo ang dako nga prospect, ang malambuon nga prospect for Bantayan,” said Retired Major Gen. Gilbert, chairperson of Prime Aces Holdings Corp. which operates the newly opened commercial flight to Bantayan.

Governor Gwen Garcia, who attended the ceremony, underscored the strategic importance of the commercial flight which is priced at a friendly rate of P888 only.

“This advancement is crucial for our development as a leading tourist hotspot. By making travel faster and more efficient, we can attract more visitors and bolster our local economy. We are wholeheartedly behind this initiative as it aligns with our vision for growth and accessibility,” the Governor said.

“We’ve intentionally set the fare at P888 to ensure that everyone, including those who work tirelessly to make a living, can benefit from this opportunity. It’s about making travel to Bantayan Island accessible to all,” the Governor added.

Bantayan, a premier beach and island adventure destination in northern Cebu, has attracted an influx of foreign and local tourists to Cebu and is even considered as Cebu’s top tourism drawer.

As such, the Provincial Government is pouring so much resources for Bantayan’s infrastructure development, including the establishment of the Bantayan Island Airport, which sits on a Capitol property; as well as funding the new and corrective Santa Fe Port, which is also eyed to attract cruise ships.

The Governor was joined here by Board Members Kerrie Keane Shimura and Glenn Anthony Soco; Santa Fe Mayor Ithamar Espinosa, Bantayan Mayor Arthur Despi, Madridejos Mayor Romeo Villaceran, MCIAA general manager Julius Neri Jr., and DOT Asec. Judilyn Quiachon, among other officials and guests.

The important infrastructure project seeks to address the growing healthcare needs of the island that is comprised of three LGUs, namely: Santa Fe, Bantayan, and Madridejos; and known all over the world as a premier beach and island adventure destination.

Governor Gwen Garcia, who led the inauguration, emphasized the importance of healthcare accessibility, especially in remote areas like Bantayan Island, even as she said that the Capitol is pursuing initiatives and undertaking infrastructure developments to elevate the level of care in its 16 Capitol-run district and provincial hospitals all over Cebu.

Gov. Gwen was joined here by Bantayan Mayor Art Despi, Madridejos Mayor Romeo Villaceran, Board Members Kerrie Shimura and Doc Stanley Caminero, as well as her daughter Carissa.

In March this year, the Capitol has also put up a 10-unit hemodialysis center here to address the growing needs of renal patients of the island, saving them the long, tiresome, and often costly journey to mainland Cebu for their weekly treatment.

Just a month later in April, the Department of Health elevated the status of the Bantayan District Hospital from infirmary to Level 1 hospital, empowering it to cater to special procedures such as surgeries and caesarian section, among others.

The construction of the new facility is not just a leap forward for Bantayan Island but a testament to the Capitol’s commitment to equitable development across the province. With this project, the Cebu Provincial Government continues to set the standard for public service, ensuring that even the most remote communities have access to essential healthcare services.

𝐒𝐀𝐍𝐓𝐀 𝐅𝐄, 𝐂𝐄𝐁𝐔 — Fresh from a very hectic schedule that saw her oversee the successful staging of the Pasigarbo sa Sugbo ritual showdown and awarding ceremonies, Gov. Gwen Garcia did not skip a beat as she continued with her tireless dedication to service for the Cebuanos.

On Tuesday, August 27, she flew to Hilantagaan Island which belongs to this municipality and led the inauguration of the Hilantagaan Circumferential Road.

The Capitol spent P45.9 million for this road that goes around the island. It has a total length of 4.32 kilometers, width of 5 meters, and cement thickness of 6 inches.

The island-barangay of Hilantagaan, located 10 minutes away by boat east of Bantayan Island, has six sitios. According to a 2020 Census, it has a population of over 4,300. Aside from its white sand beaches, the island is also famous for snorkeling activities by those who would avail of island hopping tour packages here.

The newly completed infrastructure project demonstrates the Provincial Government’s commitment to improving access and connectivity in Bantayan Island, even for residents of its various remote islets.

Governor Gwen was joined by Board Member Kerrie Shimura, Santa Fe Mayor Ithamar Espinosa, Madridejos Mayor Romeo Villaceran, Hilantagaan Barangay Captain Jenor Marabi, and Cebu Provincial Police Office Director, PCol. Percival Zorrilla here.
