TRB pinahaba pa ang deadline ng cashless toll system

Posted on: January 16th, 2021 by @peoplesbalita No Comments

Pinalawig pa ng Toll Regulatory Board (TRB) na walang definite na deadline ang pagpapatupad ng cashless toll systems sa lahat ng expressways sa Metro Manila at labas ng Metro Manila.

Ayon sa TRB spokesman Julius Corpuz na ang transition period bago maging 100 percent ang cashless transaction ay mananatiling epektibo “until further notice.”

“This means cash payments will still be accepted, motorists without RFID tags will not be apprehended and RFID subscription and installation continues in many locations identified by the toll road operators,” wika ni Corpuz.

Pinalawig pa ang deadline at transition period dahil na rin upang mabigyan ng \

“The move is also aimed to give the toll operators more time to address some remaining system flaws or glitches, as well as improve their systems to maximize the benefits for the motorists of the RFID system,” dagdag ni Corpuz.

Noong nakaraang taon ay binigyan ng Department of Transportation (DOTr) na hanggang Nov. 12 ang pagpapatupad ng 100 percent cashless scheme sa lahat ng expressways. Subalit inilipat ito noong Dec. 1 upang bigyan pa rin ng tamang pagkakataon ang mga motorista upang maglagay ng RFID stickers.

Muli, upang masigurado ang pagkakaron ng efficient na implementasyon, ang DOTr at TRB ay nagbigay na naman ng panibagong deadline hanggang Jan. 11, 2021 na walang multa ang ipapataw sa mga motoristang walang RFID. Pinagutos rin na ang paglalagay ng mga RFID ay patuloy kahit na pagkatapos na ng transition period para sa mga non-frequent tollways users.

Sa nakaraang plano, sinabi ng DOTr na pagkatapos ng Jan.11 hindi lahat ng lanes sa toll gates ay gagawing stickering lane.

“Only one or two stickering lanes or one installation tent before entry at the toll gate would be assigned wherein RFID can be installed on vehicles,” saad ng DOTr.

Dagdag pa rin ng DOTr na sinabihan nila ang mga toll operators na dapat silang maglagay ng signages kung saan mayron stickering lanes upang malaman ng mga motoristang walang RFID kung saan sila pipila.

“They can be issued a ticket if they will line up in the RFID only lane, especially if they will cause delays to the vehicles behind them,” wika pa rin ng DOTr.

Samantala, nagbukas ng panibagong 42 radio frequency identification (RFID) installation stations ang San Miguel Corporation kung kayat mayroon ng kabuohang 95 ang kanilang installation sites sa Metro Manila.

May target naman ang SMC na makapaglagay pa ng 156 RFID installation stations hanggang noong nakaraang Dec. upang lumipat na sa cashless toll collections system na ipinatutupad ng pamahalaan.

Ang SMC ay siyang namamahala sa South Luzon Expressway, Southern Tagalog Arterial Road, Skyway, NAIA Expressway at Tarlac-Pangasinan-La Union Expressway.

Kamakailang lamang, ang NLEX ay nagbukas ng kanilang cash lanes sa kanilang toll plazas sa mga expressway.

Sinabi naman ng SMC na mayron din silang isang cash lane kada toll plaza upang ang mga sasakyan na walang RFID stickers ay mapayagan pa rin pumasok at mabigyan ng Autosweep stickers at upang maiwasan ang pagsisikip ng traffic sa sa mga toll plazas. (LASACMAR)

COVID tests sa mga players, refs pinadadagdagan ng NBA

Posted on: January 16th, 2021 by @peoplesbalita No Comments

Inabisuhan ngayon ng NBA ang 28 mga NBA cities na magpatupad ng dagdag na COVID tests matapos na magpositibo ang 16 na mga players.

Sa pinaikot na memo ng liga, hiniling sa mga teams na humanap din ng local testing centers kung saan gaganapin ang mga laro.

Hangad ng NBA na makahanap ang mga team ng local testing providers sa loob ng dalawang araw.

Dapat din daw ang local provider ay merong polymerase chain reaction (PCR) tests na kayang makapag-test ng 40 mga players, staff at referees at makapagbigay ng results, isang oras bago ang laro.

Batay sa umiiral na patakaran ngayon, dapat ang isang player ay negatibo sa PCR test isang araw bago ang laro, at negative din sa rapid test sa umaga ng araw ng laro.

Sa ngayon nasa siyam na games na ang kinansela ng NBA dahil sa pag-quarantine sa ilang mga players.

Holyfield piniling patok si Pacquiao kay McGregor

Posted on: January 16th, 2021 by @peoplesbalita No Comments

LIYAMADO para kay former undisputed cruiserweight at heavyweight world men’s boxing champion Evander Holyfield si eight division world boxing champion Emmanuel Pacquiao sakaling matuloy ang boxing match kay dating two-division Ultimate Fighting Champion (UFC) world titlist Conor Anthony McGregor sa Gitnang Silangan sa kasalukuyang taon.

Gayunman, klinaro nang 58-anyos na sa kasalukuyan, may 6-2 ½ ang taas na Amerikano at nagsabit ng gloves niya noong 2014, na maari rin namang magulat ang Pinoy ring icon sa sport niya, ng Irish mixed martial arts (MMA) superstar dahil sa lakas, puso, abilidad at palaban ito.

“McGregor’s strength is grabbing people and turning people and flipping people, where he had more things to think about. However, anybody who gets in the ring has some chance, I believe. You ain’t getting in the ring if you think you ain’t got a chance. And McGregor has some skills too,” paglalahad ni Holyfield sa pahayagang The Sun nitong isang araw.

Dinagdap pa ng tubong Alabama at pinagsama-samang kopoin noon ang mga titulo ng World Boxing Association (WBA), World Boxing Council (WBC) at International Boxing Federation (IBF), “He has that heart to fight, heart of a fighter. He can fight so ain’t nobody just going to beat him up in no kind of way. Just like the boxers, he has the mentality of a fighter.”

Inabisuhan din ni Holyfield ang kanyang manok na handa niyang tulungan sa paghahanda kung naisin nito, na huwag makipagdikitan sa banatan kay Pacquiao. Dapat aniyang gamitin ang kalamangan sa haba ng mga braso ni McGregor sa mga atake sa Pambansang Kamao.

Makikipagtuos muna ang 32 taong-gulang na si McGregor kay UFC interim lightweight king Dustin Poirier ng Estados Unidos sa UFC 257 sa Enero 23 sa Abu Dhabi, UAE.

Inansunsiyo naman ni Pacquiao, 42 ang dalawang laban sa taong ito mula sa nakalipas taong pagkatengga dulot ng Covid-19.

Hanggang bukas po uli mga ka-Opensa Depensa. (REC)

JANE, matutuloy pa ring lumipad bilang ‘Darna’ kahit ano pang pagni-nega; DIREK JERROLD, ‘di na involved sa TV series

Posted on: January 16th, 2021 by @peoplesbalita No Comments

NATANONG si Direk Jerrold Tarog sa kanyang twitter account ng, “Are you still attache to the Darna series? Since we didn’t got any information if the same creative team is still attached.”

Na nireplayan naman ni Direk Jerrold ng, “Unfortunately, I’m not going to be involved in the TV series due to scheduling conflicts. But some doors remain open regarding my future involvement in the Ravelo universe. We will see.

“For now, I wish ABS-CBN & @Imjanedeleon all the best. Let’s continue to support them.”

Sa tanong kung magkakaroon pa ito ng movie version bukod sa series. Hoping pa rin ang director at nasa Star Cinema naman ‘yun kung itutuloy pa rin.

Samantala, super react naman ang netizens at marami ang nagsasabing ‘jinx’ na ang project kaya hindi na dapat ituloy.

“The entire project is JINXED.”

“Ano ba…jinx talaga siguro yan..wag niyo ng ipush kasi.”

“Nakikita na ni direk na malaking flop ang mangyayari kaya distansiya na siya.”

“Binawasan talent fee…..goodbye.

“Itigil na kasi yang darna. Ilang beses na nahinto. D pa ba gets na ngka jinx na yan?”

“Tama! Wag na ipilit yung Darna project na yan nawala na interes ng tao dahil sa sobrang tagal na hype tapos walang dating pa si Jane with no solid fan base magsasayang lang pera yung production.”

“Just drop this project all together and move on. We don’t need another Darna for the next 10 years.”

“shelve nalang kasi andamin ng umatras sa project na to.”

“Nakakaloka since 2012 pa ata to Darna, 2021 na. Ano ba meron at laging nauudlot.”

“Darna is not for abs cbn.”

“It’s not like we can do a movie like Wonder Woman. Drop na lang yan.”

“hindi naman nauudlot this time. Eh hindi naman pang tv yang director na yan…malamang di rin sya talaga ang planong gawing director ng abs sa tv series.”

Pero kahit na anong sabihin ng netizens, mukhang tuloy na tuloy na ang paglipat ni Jane de Leon bilang ‘Darna’ kahit na puro negative at panglalait ang natanggap niya. Dahil kasama ito plug ng 2021 upcoming tv shows ng Kapamilya network.

Hindi naman siguro basta-basta babawiin ng ABS-CBN ang naipangako nila sa young actress na malaki na rin ang hirap sa pagti-training.

Dapat naman sigurong bigyan ng pagkakataon si Jane na maipakita na kaya niyang dalhin ang serye, na for sure, inaabangan din kung sinu-sino ang mga bigating cast at magiging guest stars na susuporta sa kanya.

Kaya abang-abang na lang tayo sa nalalapit na pagsigaw at paglipad ni Darna!

Marcial kumukuha ng mga ideya sa NBA para sa PBA

Posted on: January 16th, 2021 by @peoplesbalita No Comments

BANTAY-SARADO sa Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) ang nagaganap sa 75th National Basketball Association (NBA) 2020-21 regular season games hinggil sa mga patong-patong na kaso na may kinalaman sa Coronavirus Disease 2019.

“Minamatyagan namin nang husto kung ano ginagawa nila,” bulalas kahapon ni Commissioner Wilfrido Marcial. “Kung may maganda, i-a-adopt namin sa PBA.”

Mas naging mahigpit ang USA major league sa health and safety protocols kaysa pinairal sa 74^th 2020 bubble.

Pero maski nakaanim na laro na ang na-postpone, walang balak ang world’s oldest pro hoop na ihinto ang kasalukuyang seaon. Huling naunsiyani ang mga laban ng Washington Wizards-Utah Jazz at Boston Celtics-Orlando Magic.

Planng buksan ng PBA ika-46 na edisyon sa darating na Abril 9 kaya pinag-aaralan ang mga hakbang ng counterpart na liga.

Pinahinto ng Covid-19 ang dalawang liga noong Marso 2020. Nagsimulang muli ang NBA sa Orlando, Florida noong Hulyo sa bubble.

Tinularan ng PBA iyon sa Clark, Pampanga noong Oktubre at natloy ang taon ng liga kahit Philippine Cup na lang ang naisalba na pinagharian ng Barangay Ginebra San Miguel.

Pinaiiral na sa NBA sa kasalukuyan ang home-and-away games na wala nga lang mga miron sa mga playing venue.

Kaya kinukunsidera ng PBA na mag-semi-bubble din sa Metro Manila matapos gumasta ng P65M sa Pampanga bubble. (REC)

Barangay Kamuning ‘di isasailalim sa lockdown — Mayor Joy

Posted on: January 16th, 2021 by @peoplesbalita No Comments

Wala umanong basehan para isailalim sa lockdown ang Brgy. Kamuning matapos na isang residente dito na galing Dubai ang kaunaunahang na-infect ng UK COVID variant.

Ito ang inihayag ni Quezon City Mayor Joy Belmonte kasabay nang pagsasabing hindi na nakarating sa kanyang bahay ang pasyente matapos itong dumating sa bansa dahil agad itong dinala sa isolation facility.

“Una sa lahat, Kamuning in fact has the lowest numbers of COVID-positive patients at the moment. Since hindi naman lumapag sa barangay, hindi naman siya umuwi at ‘di pa lumalabas ‘yung resulta ng BHERT (barangay health emergency response teams) na positive sila, although quarantined na sila nga-yon, wala pa tayong sapat na batayan na i-lockdown ‘yung Barangay Kamuning. Hindi na po siya bumaba sa Barangay Kamuning. Siya po ay diniretso sa isolation facility,” pahayag pa ni Belmonte.

Kasabay nito binalaan din Mayor Belmonte na mananagot sa ilalim ng anti-discrimination ordinance ang sinumang mapapatunayang nangutya o nagkait ng pantay na karapatan sa isang indibiduwal dahil lamang sa dito nakatira ang lalaking natukoy na nagtataglay ng bagong variant ng COVID-19.

Wala rin anyang dapat ipangamba ang publiko dahil nasa isang maayos na health facility na ang lalaki kasama ng mga taong natukoy na nakasa-lamuha nito.

Niliwanag naman ni Mayor Belmonte na is- triktong ipinatutupad ang protocol sa QC kaugnay ng kampanya laban sa pandemic.

Nananawagan din si Mayor Belmonte kay DILG Secretary Eduardo Año na pabalikin sa serbisyo ang mga contact tracers na naipagkaloob nito sa QC noong nagdaang taon.

Magugunitang kamakalawa ay inamin ng DOH na isang lalaki buhat sa Dubai ang dumating sa bansa noong Enero 7 ang nagtataglay ng UK COVID variant. (ARA ROMERO)
