The Countdown to Renouveau

Wazzup PIlipinas!

It's been a long time coming, but we're (almost) here. After four years - for some, even more - it's finally our turn to show the world what we've got. But before that, let's look back at what has been.

UP CMC VOX 2017, together with Calbee Potato Chips, Great Taste Viet Latte, Maxx Gums, Pascual Consumer Healthcare Corp., and Philippine Wacoal Corp., as well as Bakers Maison and Frappe La Rue, present Renouveau: The Maskom Graduation Ball. Let's celebrate our journey on June 14, 2017, 8:30PM at Warehouse Eight, Makati City. The countdown is on - and when the clock strikes midnight, we'll end our college lives with a bang!

Shimmer in your best #ootn and indulge as Bacardi makes sure we all have a good time dancing to the beats of our guest DJ, Migs Santillan. After all that we’ve been through in the university, we definitely deserve this night!

Wazzup Pilipinas is a proud media partner.

Oil Price Situation for Week of June 12

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Pursuant to its function of monitoring oil trading in the international market and analyzing its impact on the domestic prices of petroleum products as mandated by law, the Department of Energy (DOE) noted that last week’s international oil trading may cause movements in the domestic prices of gasoline, diesel and kerosene as follows:

1) Gasoline may decrease by around P0.80 per liter;
2) Diesel may decrease by around P0.90 per liter; and,
3) Kerosene may decrease by around P1.10 per liter.

However, these findings could still be affected by the trading activities on Friday, 9 June, which can be accessed today Monday, 12 June.

Resulting price adjustments concerning petroleum products are implemented every Tuesday of the week.

Meanwhile, the DOE encourages the public to be vigilant in their rights as consumers and immediately report to the DOE Consumer Welfare Office (Landline - 429 2900 look for Ms. Helen Arias) any violation of the law, rules and regulations by petroleum products suppliers (i.e., quality and/or safety issues).

DOTr Orders PCG Control and Supervision of Security Operations in All Seaports

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Department of Transportation Secretary Arthur P. Tugade ordered the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) to take over the control and supervision of security operations in all seaports nationwide in light of the security threat posed by the Maute Terrorist Group which has besieged Marawi City and resulted in the President’s declaration of Martial Law in the entire Mindanao.

By virtue of Department Order (D.O.) No. 2017-008 issued on June 5, 2017, the Transport Chief directed the PCG,”... to take over the security supervision of ports, and shipping, whether public or private, including the egress and ingress to all waterways from the Maritime Industry Authority (MARINA) and the Philippine Ports Authority (PPA).”

Under the D.O., Secretary Tugade instructed the PCG to control movement of all vessels in seaports and harbours; designate security zones for maritime security purposes; enforce ports and ships identification system; regulate access to ports, vessels and waterfront facilities; inspect cargoes to prevent the transport of contrabands; and to set and enforce appropriate security levels in all ports in Mindanao, pursuant to the provisions of the International Ships and Ports Security (ISPS) Code.

This allows the PCG to arrest, seize and detain persons, cargo and vessels found violating maritime security and other pertinent laws and to file the necessary charges.

In addition, the Coast Guard is to strictly enforce maritime security communications; supervise, regulate and control port police and private security guards, K9 entities, divers and underwater operations in all maritime-related facilities and infrastructure.

The Order took effect immediately after its issuance and will remain in full force and effect until Martial Law in Mindanao is lifted.
