The study tour overseas will last until April 25, 2023.

To put things in perspective, posted below is the excerpt from the Manila Bulletin news report. Some parts in boldface…

Muntinlupa Mayor Ruffy Biazon and other Metro Manila local chief executives flew to the Netherlands for a study tour to learn about best practices in sustainable development.

In the Netherlands, Metro Manila mayors and Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) Chairman Don Artes will be on a study tour about flood control, solid waste management, waste to energy and renewable energy from April 18 to 25.

In Biazon’s absence, Vice Mayor Artemio Simundac will be the acting mayor while Majority Floor Leader Raul Corro will be the acting vice mayor and presiding officer of the Muntinlupa City Council.

In a letter, Interior and Local Government Sec. Benjamin Abalos Jr. designated Simundac and Corro in acting capacities.

Based on Administrative Order No. 15 issued by the President and DILG Memorandum Circular 2019-21, “the undersigned hereby designates you in an acting capacity, as the Vice Mayor of Muntinlupa City to fill up the temporary vacancy created due to the approved travel of Mayor Rozzano Rufino B. Biazon,” Abalos said in a letter to Corro.

“Under Section 46(a) of the Local Government Code of 1991, Vice Mayor Artemio S. of Simundac the Mayor, shall automatically exercise the powers and perform the duties and functions of the mayor, except the power to appoint, suspend or dismiss employees, during the period of the approved travel abroad of Mayor Biazon,” Abalos added.

He told Corro, “As such, you are hereby ordered to assume the power and perform the duties and functions of a Vice Mayor as mandated by law, except making or participating in any decision related to the items enumerated under Part V, Item No. 1 in DILG Memorandum Circular No. 2019-21, during the above-mentioned period.”

“This designation shall terminate upon submission to the sanggunian of a written declaration by Mayor Biazon that he has reported back to office, in accordance with Section 46(b) of the Local Government Code of 1991,” said Abalos.

New Planetshakers worship event here in the Philippines set for July 22, 2023 at SM MOA Arena

carlocarrasco

Great news! The Lord is blessing the Philippines once again as Planetshakers announced it will be having another worship event in the country on the evening of July 22, 2023 at the SM Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay City. The selling of tickets for the worship event will commence online at SM Tickets on May 11, 2023. This newest event is part of the Show Me Your Glory Planetshakers Tour 2023.

To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from the Planeshakers official announcement. Some parts in boldface…

Planetshakers is so excited to visit Manila once again in July 2023!

It has always been our desire and pursuit to run after God with the intent of seeing His glory. Just as Moses would not go anywhere unless God’s presence accompanied Him, we have that same heart’s cry, and this year, people from all over Asia will be coming together with that same common passion.

Show me Your glory.

We cannot wait to encounter Him and sit back in wonder at all the incredible things that will take place. It’s going to be awe-inspiring!

To those who intend to attend the worship event, the ticket prices have been confirmed as follows: VIP for P1,600, Patron for P1,600, LB Premium for P1,600, Lower Box for P1,200, Upper Box for P1,200, and General Admission for P600.

In preparation for booking tickets online on May 11, 2023, I encourage you to prepare your credit cards and be early to log-in at SMTickets.com because in my experience, there was long virtual line of over 2,600 ahead of me before I got my turn to purchase my tickets and choose my seat.

If you believe in Lord Jesus, I encourage you to attend the upcoming Planetshakers worship event as I myself attend their event this past September. Yes indeed, I was blessed by the Lord and so were many others around me. Read my feature article about the September 2022 Planetshakers event I attended at https://carlocarrasco.com/2022/09/16/the-lord-blessed-the-philippines-with-planetshakers/ and check out the short clips I recorded from the said event posted below…

Whenever a very anointed church like Planershakers holds an event here in the Philippines, it is God’s blessing for the country! Apart from the excellent worship music, Planetshakers has very anointed worship leaders like Pastor and church co-founder Sam Evans and Joth Hunt. If you attend the worship event and pray to the Lord with Pastor Sam Evans leading the prayer, it is a blessing from the Lord because whenever she leads prayers, it is always powerful, truly wholehearted, engaging and compelling! I got blessed like that during the Planetshakers event I attended! The event is, indeed, fellowship with the almighty God, His Son Lord Jesus and the Holy Spirit! The same can be said about this July’s Planetshakers event!

If you are thinking about this July’s Planetshakers worship event, I encourage you to seek the Lord’s Kingdom and praising Him with all your heart and passion. Learn from the holy scriptures below…

“So above all, constantly seek God’s kingdom and his righteousness, then all these less important things will be given to you abundantly.”

Matthew 6:33 (TPT)

Praise the Lord!

Praise God in His sanctuary;

Praise Him in His mighty firmament!

Praise Him for His mighty acts;

Praise Him according to His excellent greatness!

Praise Him with the sound of the trumpet;

Praise Him with the lute and harp!

Praise Him with the timbrel and dance;

Praise Him with stringed instruments and flutes!

Praise Him with loud cymbals;

Praise Him with clashing cymbals!

Let everything that has breath praise the Lord.

Praise the Lord!

Psalm 150:1-6 (NKJV)

The view from my spot during the Planetshakers worship event I attended on September 2022.

Single ticketing system for Metro Manila traffic violations set to launch on May 2, 2023

Single ticketing system for Metro Manila traffic violations set to launch on May 2, 2023

carlocarrasco

Finally the single ticketing system for traffic violations specifically covering Metro Manila will be launched officially on May 2, 2023 now that the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA), the Land Transportation Office (LTO) and local government units (LGUs) have formally signed their agreement, according to a news article published by the Philippine News Agency (PNA). Specifically speaking, this new system will be in a pilot testing phase. Previously there was the target to start in April 2023.

To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from the PNA news article. Some parts in boldface…

Metro Manila will implement a single ticketing system for traffic violations starting May 2, following an agreement between the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA), the local government units (LGUs) of the region, and the Land Transportation Office (LTO) on Thursday.

In a statement, MMDA Acting Chair Don Artes said the signing of a memorandum of agreement (MOA) and data sharing agreement (DSA) aim to harmonize the existing national and local laws on traffic enforcement, as well as penalties and fines of the most common traffic violations stated in the Metro Manila Traffic Code.

“The pilot testing will be done so the next LGUs that will be onboard will roll out their respective systems seamlessly,” Artes said.

Pilot testing for the single ticketing system will be done by the MMDA and seven LGUs—San Juan, Muntinlupa, Quezon City, Valenzuela, Parañaque, Manila and Caloocan.

The MMDA will provide handheld devices to apprehending officers that can offer cashless payment options to violators.

These devices will be connected to the Land Transportation Management System (LTMS) of the LTO to enable real-time data sharing and verification.

He added that the system will help minimize corruption and eradicate forms of negotiations between the motorist and the officer.

Senator Francis Tolentino, a former MMDA chair, expressed his support for the single ticketing system as he underscored the importance of integration.

“Integration will enable different systems to communicate with each other, to offer a unified solution and that is what you are doing now,” Tolentino said.

President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr., through Senior Deputy Executive Secretary Hubert Guevarra, welcomed the passing of the single ticketing system.

“Let this be a way for all our motorists to become more conscious and respectful of our laws, rules, and regulations,” Marcos said.

LTO chief Jay Art Tugade, through Noreen San Luis-Lutey, also expressed his support for the rollout of the system.

San Luis-Lutey said the signing of the MOA and DSA is monumental for the LTO.

“It is a big milestone for us in terms of enhancing driver discipline through consistent and coordinated law enforcement initiatives,” San Luis-Lutey said.

The single-ticketing system, she said, will work in conjunction with the implementation of the 10-year validity of the driver’s license.

San Juan City Mayor and MMC president Francis Zamora thanked his fellow local chief executives for being part of the landmark legislation.

“The mayors have shown support and love to Metro Manila by amending our traffic ordinances to create a unified traffic code,” Zamora said.

Let me end this piece by asking you readers: What is your reaction to this recent development? Do you think the new Metro Manila traffic violations single ticketing system will succeed in relation to the objectives mentioned in the above report?

The victim told Burca that he will be sold to a Philippine Offshore Gaming Operator (POGO) company if he fails to fulfill the suspects’ demands of paying the P500,000.

Burca immediately sought assistance from the casino security guards, wherein Qing was rescued and Wang Dingding was nabbed. The security guards brought Dingding to Tambo substation after his arrest.

The police said after Dingding was arrested, Jian and Ong appeared at the Tambo substation to help and settle the complaint against the suspect.

The above report ended stating that nobody got injured during the incident. The response to the fire involved the use of five fire trucks and an ambulance.

Let me end this piece by asking you readers: If you are a Muntinlupa City resident, what is your reaction to this development? What do you think caused the fire to happen? Is the reported restaurant a favorite destination of yours in Alabang?
