Hi Edward, Here are the most important news that you need to know. Starting New Year’s Day, hundreds of thousands of passengers using the Edsa Bus Carousel will again pay for their fares on Metro Manila’s busiest road after the government stopped funding the free rides ahead of a plan to privatize the busway operation in 2023. The Department of Transportation (DOTr) has recommended tighter travel restrictions on people coming from China, which is seeing a surge in COVID-19 cases. WHAT’S THE PROBLEM? A team assembled by the Cybercrime Investigation and Coordinating Center, an agency under the Department of Information and Communications Technology, receives complaints from mobile phone users who are having problems registering their SIM cards. The center logged about 500 complaints during the first 24 hours of the registration. —GRIG C. MONTEGRANDE OZAMIZ CITY—A “disaster scare” gripped Misamis Occidental on Tuesday after a social media post, packaged as a message of public concern, warned of another wave of flooding on Wednesday. As is the case with massive projects such as preserving the Ifugao Rice Terraces, more needs to be done, and it will require not just the vaunted “whole of government” approach, but no less than the effort of the entire nation, from the tourists who will not throw garbage or destroy the fragile terrace structure, to the Ifugao local government that will give the youth reason to stay and preserve Ifugao terraces and culture, and the national government that will funnel enough budget to bankroll the preservation and management programs |
