COMPLETE ENGINEERING DESIGN OF PANAY - GUIMARAS BRIDGE BY END 2024: MARCOS

President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. (FMJ) "has instructed officials to complete the detailed engineering design (DED) of Section A (Panay Guimaras bridge) by December 2024 instead of the end - 2025," according to regional director Sanny Boy Oropel of the DPWH in a forum recently.

The DED for section A of the Panay Guimaras Negros (PGN) bridge is ongoing, said Oropel, which consists of 13 kilometers bridge and road links between Leganes town in Iloilo and in Buenavista, Guimaras.

Funding for the DED was sourced from the Government of South Korea through an Official Development Assistance (ODA) loan amounting to US$56.6 Million (P2.671 Billion) with the Export Import Bank of Korea (KEXIM).

With a shortened timeline for the DED completion, civil works are expected to begin any time in 2025 for section A of the PGN link bridge.

The budget for civil works in both sections A and B of the 32-kilometer PGN bridges link is estimated at US$3.7 Billion or about P189 Billion.

REWARD MONEY NOW P500K FOR HEIST AT ILOILO SUPERMART JARO

Police major Eduardo Siacon, station 9 chief of Jaro district in Iloilo City announced today, August 28 the doubling of bounty money for an informant from P250,000 to P500,000 that could lead to the arrest of suspects in the pre-dawn robbery at Iloilo Supermart Jaro branch on August 27, 2024.

Some P1.5 million in cash have been reported stolen to the police after the robbery.

Iloilo City mayor Jerry Treñas first offered the P250,000 reward money even as "a group of local businessmen" has put up the same amount, as reported by Aksyon Radyo Iloilo.

The police so far has not referred to any group or person of interest while speculating that the crime pattern follows that of the so-called "termite gang" where local establishments were invaded through provisional underground tunnels.

P2.8-MILLION BILL DEPOSIT REFUNDS RELEASED BY MORE POWER

Between May 2023 and August 2024, some 996 customers met the criteria of having consistently paid their bills on time over the past three years. Of these, 685 customers have successfully processed and received their bill deposit refunds.

Under Article 7 of the Magna Carta for Residential Electricity Consumers, distribution utilities are mandated to refund the bill deposit of customers who have paid their bills on time for three consecutive years (36 months) and have no record of service disconnection.

The bill deposit is a necessary requirement for new meter applicants prior to the installation of their meters.

MORE Power reiterates that customers who are ineligible for the refund due to late payments over the past 36 months can still receive their bill deposit with annual interest when they choose to terminate their electric service.

HOPE FOR OVER 100 UNFINISHED PROJECTS UNDER NTF-ELCAC IN ILOILO?

National securiry adviser Eduardo Año said on Thursday, August 15 he was "confident Congress would restore (next year) the Support for Barangay Development Program (SBDP) budget" under the National Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict (NTF ELCAC).

In Iloilo the NTF ELCAC funded P720 million for 165 projects in Miagao, Igbaras, Tubungan, Leon and Alimodian in 2022. Of these, only 55 projects were completed, 105 projects were unfinished, and 5 were never started, as disclosed to HilwayNews last year by then acting provincial administrator Dennis Ventilacion.

The Iloilo provincial government has requested in early 2023 for the extension of budget application deadline for another year in order to complete the mothballed projects, but to no avail.

SBDP funded the projects used for basic infrastructure, such as farm-to-market roads, rural electrification, health stations, water and sanitation systems, school buildings, and sustainable livelihood projects in the so-called geographically-isolated and disadvantaged areas (GIDAs) of the country.

AS AFRICAN SWINE FEVER LINGERS, SMALL HOG RAISERS SUSTAIN PORK SUPPLY

The Iloilo provincial government tiptoes on its sentinelling program, an initial step towards repopulation of the local hog industry devastated for over two years by the dreaded African Swine Fever (ASF) disease.

Gov. Arthur Defendor Jr. announced over the weekend the release of P4.28 million intended for 357 farmers in the 6 towns of Btac. Viejo, Di**le, Sta. Barbara, New Lucena, Banate and San Miguel "as trial run" in finding out the status of ASF in areas labeled as pink zones.

Even then the governor noted that many backyard hog raisers have risked repopulating, that resulted in a 84,323 increase of hog heads in August, from 72,320 in January this year.

Still, the total number is 30% off the self-sufficient level, with eleven towns remaining under the red zone, or ASF-infested category.

San Joaquin town in southern Iloilo has recorded the latest cases of ASF resulting in 52 hog deaths. The town borders with Antique, another ASF hard-hit province.

Coming soon, "I-SHARE" or Iloilo Schools Having Access to Renewable Energy authored by Iloilo 4th district board member Rolando Distura of Dumangas.

"I am eyeing to tap a certain percentage of the Special Education Fund (SEF) as source of fund for continuing appropriation to this provincial ordinance," Distura told HilwayNews recently.

Now at the committee level the proposed ordinance envisions the utilization of solar energy by public schools in Iloilo, that would eventually save for the province millions of pesos each year in electricity costs.

Meanwhile, some 5 district hospitals and the Iloilo provincial hospitals are beginning to benefit from energy savings due to solar power use as mandated by the "Iloilo Provincial Ordinance on Renewable Energy (I-PORE) also authored by Distura.
