‘Mayor of the Night’: Archival officially formalizes program

CEBU CITY, Philippines — Mayor Nestor Archival has formally signed an executive order institutionalizing the city’s first-ever 24/7 government service program, dubbed the “Mayor of the Night.” This is despite reservations from Councilor Jun Alcover over its legality, necessity, and funding. Under an executive order, Archival ordered the creation of the Cebu City 24/7 Government Services (Mayor of the Night)—a one-stop service hub designed to extend essential local and national government services to residents working night shifts, particularly in the business process outsourcing (BPO) industry. The EO, released this week, formalizes a proposal first introduced by Vice Mayor Tomas Osmeña […]... Keep on reading: ‘Mayor of the Night’: Archival officially formalizes program

De Lima files bill removing NHA power to eject informal settlers

De Lima files bill removing NHA power to eject informal settlers

MANILA, Philippines — Mamamayang Liberal Partylist Rep. Leila de Lima has filed a bill that would repeal the power of the National Housing Authority to eject informal settlers in government resettlement projects and properties under its administration without a court order. Filed under House Bill 5882, de Lima wants to amend Section 6, Subsection IV(d) of Republic Act 12216 or the "National Housing Authority Act” which she said has empowered the NHA to render people homeless. "The right to housing is not a matter of administrative convenience; it is a fundamental human right recognized by our Constitution and international laws. How can an instrumentality of government – a public corporation funded by people’s money – whose mandate is to shelter, be given the legal authority to dispossess?" de Lima said. She also said that NHA should remain a "builder of homes and not an instrument of homelessness" in reviewing the provisions of the NHA act that are "out of place, out of context, and out of order." She said that the NHA's power to demolish without judicial process was a "rider provision," a "legal aberration, inserted without proper relation to the subject matter of Section 6, Sub-section IV(d), which pertains solely to the collection and recovery of indebtedness and obligations,"

Record-breaking US shutdown to end as political fallout begins

Record-breaking US shutdown to end as political fallout begins

WASHINGTON – Congress looked set Wednesday to end the longest government shutdown in US history — 43 days that paralyzed Washington and left hundreds of thousands of workers unpaid while Donald Trump’s Republicans and Democrats played a high-stakes blame game. The House of Representatives was expected to rubber-stamp a contentious Senate-passed funding package that will reopen federal agencies, as many Democrats fume over what they see as a capitulation by party leaders. “We believe the long national nightmare will be over tonight. It was completely and utterly foolish and pointless in the end, as we said all along,” House Speaker […]... Keep on reading: Record-breaking US shutdown to end as political fallout begins
