PRESIDENT Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr iloilo said he is baffled that a "secret agreement" was reached between former President Rodrigo Duterte and China over the Ayungin Shoal iloilo In a media interview in Washington D iloilo C iloilo on Friday, April 12, 2024, Marcos questions the Duterte administration over the promises he made with China iloilo “Ano ba ang pinangako ng Duterte administration sa China? Dahil hindi pa natin alam, e, kung – ngayon lang pa lang natin talaga – ngayon lang tayo nakakatiyak na mayroon talagang, mayroon pala talagang agreement iloilo Tawag nila is gentleman’s agreement, tawag ko diyan, secret agreement,” Marcos said iloilo (What did the Duterte administration promise to China? Because we still don't know – until now, we've only just – only now can we really – only now are we sure that there is indeed, there really is, an agreement iloilo They call it a gentleman's agreement; I call it a secret agreement iloilo )"So, now, with the confirmation of the Chinese Embassy iloilo We now know that there was a secret agreement iloilo Now, this is, the second question that I have, is what is contained in the second agreement?” the President added iloilo Marcos said he is prepared to sit down with the former chief executive to discuss foreign policy and the agreements made by the government concerning the South China Sea iloilo It was reported that the former leader claimed to possess documents related to China and is said to be reviewing all the agreements made during his administration iloilo “Send them to me and then we’ll sit down iloilo Send those documents to me, and then I’ll sit down and discuss it iloilo I’ll do my homework for him iloilo Just the way I work iloilo I read all the materials first so when I’m in the conference, I can ask intelligent questions,” Marcos said iloilo “So send me the materials, personally to me iloilo ‘Wag na sa DOJ (Department of Justice), sa DFA (Department of Foreign Affairs), sa akin iloilo Padala n’ya sakin iloilo Marami kaming common na kaibigan iloilo Send them to me iloilo Pag-aralan ko iloilo Mag-usap kami kung gusto n’ya,” he added iloilo (So send me the materials, personally to me iloilo Not to the DOJ, not to the DFA, to me iloilo Send them to me iloilo I have many common friends with him iloilo Send them to me iloilo I will study them iloilo We can talk if he wants iloilo )The President also stated his opposition to entering into a secret agreement with China that might jeopardize the country’s sovereignty and territorial integrity iloilo He added that any agreement with another sovereign state should be made known to the people, elected officials, and the Senate, which ratifies government treaties iloilo Marcos also disregarded Duterte's criticism of naval patrols in the West Philippine Sea, saying that it holds “no place in this very important and very precarious discussion iloilo ”Senator Risa Hontiveros earlier sought for an investigation on the reported "gentleman's agreement" between Duterte and China, which supposedly restricted repairs on the BRP Sierra Madre at Ayungin Shoal iloilo Hontiveros filed Senate Resolution No iloilo 982, saying that if the agreement is verified, it would equate to surrendering Philippine sovereignty iloilo "This 'gentleman's agreement' is treasonous iloilo While China, in any case, will most likely attack our resupply missions en route to Ayungin, this sham of an agreement only gave Beijing more ammunition to assert her baseless claims iloilo Kung totoo ang kasunduan, mukhang isinuko nga ni Duterte ang teritoryo ng Pilipinas," the senator said iloilo (JGS/SunStar Philippines) iloilo
CEBU will face economic consequences if it does not fully prepare for future electricity needs iloilo The Cebu Electricity Rights Advocates (Cera), a Cebu-based network of electricity consumer rights advocates, issued the warning during the launch of the Cebu Electricity Consumer Rights Campaign on Saturday, March 23, 2024, at the Palm Grass Hotel in downtown Cebu City iloilo Cera, which was established during the first week of March, advocates for consumers to have equal access to stable, reliable and cost-effective electricity iloilo It also ensures the interests and demands of consumers are heard iloilo “We aim to provide the venues for the consumers’ participation in determining the quality and cost of electricity provided to us iloilo We hold Veco, Cebeco and Meco accountable in ensuring power is delivered to businesses and households in a reliable and cost-effective manner,” said Cera iloilo To achieve stable power, Nathaniel Chua, Cera convenor, proposed merging current distributors to become one electricity distributor so they can pool their resources to provide a lower electricity rate to consumers iloilo “Instead of competition, why not collaboration? If we buy power in wholesale, we can negotiate for a lower price,” he said iloilo The group encouraged people from different sectors to participate, saying everyone is affected when it comes to the issue of reliable and cost-effective sources of power iloilo Chua said there are no groups that focus on electricity and advocate for stable, reliable and affordable energy iloilo He said there should be a focus on three problems, which Cera deemed as the Energy Trilemma: energy security, which is the ability to meet current and future energy demand; energy equity, which is the ability to provide universal access to reliable, affordable and abundant energy for domestic and commercial use; and measures, which is the ability to mitigate and avoid environmental degradation and climate change impacts iloilo He belied claims that Cebu has an adequate supply of electricity, pointing to the unscheduled power interruption on Friday, March 22, and Saturday, in the franchise area of the Mactan Electric Company (Meco) iloilo “As of now, ang supply nato sa electricity sa Cebu nipis ang atong reserve, so kinahanglan ta og stable power,” said Chua iloilo (As of now, we need a stable source of power in Cebu since our electricity reserves are thin iloilo )Chua said the inadequate supply of electricity will also lead to economic consequences similar to what happened in Panay Island where unreliable electricity services caused a blackout from Jan iloilo 2 to 5, leading to economic losses estimated at P3 iloilo 6 billion iloilo He said they understood the need to balance cost and reliability, considering Cebu is an economic hub iloilo “We wish for these electric cooperatives and distribution utilities to provide the best available technology which is reliable and not prone to unscheduled power interruptions to be the choice of generating facilities to serve our interests,” the group said iloilo In May last year, local business leaders expressed concerns over potential shortages in the Visayas grid following “yellow alerts” that were issued due to the high demand for electricity vis-à-vis lower reserves amid the hot dry season iloilo Cebu is currently under a dry spell as a result of El Niño, which the weather bureau Pagasa warned could persist until the end of May iloilo High usage of appliances such as air-conditioners, electric fans, refrigerators and other cooling devices has been noted to deal with the high heat index, which can reduce energy supply iloilo (RJM) iloilo How do you win every time on online slots? - BingoPlus News
