NBI ready to assist in probe of Cebu teen's gruesome murder
THE NATIONAL Bureau of Investigation is ready to assist in resolving the gruesome murder of a teenager, who was found dead - her face skinned to the bone and some organs missing - in Cebu province.
"We'll let the local police take the lead. If they have difficulties (solving the case) I'll ask the NBI (to come in," Justice Secretary Menardo Guevara said.
The 16-year old victim was found without her under garments, raising suspicion that she was raped and then murdered, and skinned to hide her identity. Authorities identified the victim as Christine Silawan, a high school student at the Maribago National High School who was also a volunteer at the local parish.
Silawan was first reported missing after attending a mass and had been found murdered in the village of Bangkal in Lapu-Lapu City. Her brutal killing renewed calls for the re-imposition of the death penalty after it had been abolished many years ago.
Police were still investigating the killing which was condemned by many civil groups, including the Integrated Bar of the Philippines. "The brutal killing of the teenage girl in Lapu-Lapu is an act of pure evil and we call upon our authorities to catch the monsters responsible. We also call upon witnesses to come out and speak for the early resolution of this dastardly act," the IBP-Cebu chapter said.
If given the chance, the lawyers' group said it will provide legal service to "aid in the prosecution of the culprits to this vicious crime when caught". (Benjamin Pulta)

Japanese consultants push construction of 4th Mactan bridge
CEBU CITY — Consultants from the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) presented to the Department of Public Works and Highways the preparatory survey for the new Mactan bridge construction project.
DPWH planning officer Nonato Paylado said JICA recommended the construction of the bridge in order to mitigate traffic congestion in Metro Cebu.
Hiroyuki Morimoto, JICA project team head, said the JICA master plan 2019 includes the proposal to construct the bridge that will connect the cities of Lapu-Lapu on Mactan Island and Mandaue in mainland Cebu.
The fourth bridge is needed “to meet the expanding traffic capacity between the two islands generated by the booming Cebu’s industry and tourism,” Hiroyuki said.
Part of the bridge project will be the Mandaue coastal road project, which will be “constructed as an extension of the proposed Metro Cebu circumferential road or proposed Mandaue-Liloan diversion road to divert traffic from the city center through a bypass road,” he said.
The project has a total length of 6.78 kilometers, with a 0.58-kilometer bridge component and a 6.20-kilometer coastal road component, covering both the bridge approach and viaduct. Spanning over the Mactan channel, the bridge project with four lanes and a 22.2-meter wide roadway will affect Barangays Ibo and Pusok in Lapu-Lapu City and Umapad and Opao in Mandaue City. It will adopt two interchanges, according to Hiroyuki’s presentation.
The Japanese consultants started the master plan study last December through a series of preparatory meetings, collection of project background data, and site survey. The consultants are now conducting traffic survey and traffic demand forecast, as well as bridge location and coastal road alignment after their successful two-month long natural condition survey that started last January.
According to the study, JICA experts and stakeholders will address the issue of resettlement for 50 to 70 informal settlers near the landfill in Barangay Umapad in Mandaue City. However, It said the resettlement action plan for the families to be displaced by the project is ongoing. The consultants conducted direct coordination with the managers of different industrial establishments in Mandaue City that may get affected by the construction of the fourth bridge.
Hiroyuki’s presentation, however, said tenurial instrument of affected lots and the authority of DPWH-7 to develop them still need to be confirmed. Presently, the third bridge project called Cebu-Cordova Link Expressway is under construction. Spanning Cordova and Cebu City, it is a public-private partnership (PPP) project undertaken by Cebu-Cordova Link Expressway Corp. (CCLEC). CCLEC is a joint venture of Acciona Construction of Spain, First Balfour Inc. and D.M. Consunji Inc. of the Philippines.
The company is a subsidiary of Metro Pacific Tollways Corp., which will operate the third bridge for a period of 35 years. CCLEC president and general manager Allan Alfon said the company is confident about finishing the third bridge by 2021, in time for the commemoration of the 500th year of Christianity in the Philippines.
The first Mactan bridge was constructed in 1970 and finished in 1972, while the second, the Marcelo Fernan Bridge, was constructed in 1996 and opened to traffic in 1999. (John Rey Saavedra)
