+ January 22, 2021 ALL of Cebu City s quarantine facilities, including those in the barangays, are again ready to accept Covid-19 patients following a rise in cases this month.
On Friday, January 22, 2021, the Cebu City Quarantine Center (CCQC) resumed operations after a few months of temporary closure.
The CCQC was earlier ordered closed by Mayor Edgardo Labella to allow the facility s expansion to become an extension of the Cebu City Medical Center (CCMC).
January 22, 2021 THE Cebu City Council has authorized Mayor Edgardo Labella to negotiate with Land Bank of the Philippines for the prepayment of the loan used to develop the South Road Properties (SRP).
The Council approved the resolution filed by Cebu City Councior Raymond Alvin Garcia during the regular session on January 20, 2021.
Under the resolution, Labella is authorized to negotiate for the prepayment of the loan covered by a subsidiary loan agreement with Landbank.
Garcia said the next step is to get endorsements from the Department of Finance, Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas and other relevant agencies. As I ve said before, in order for us to start the ball rolling, so to speak, the first document that the Landbank needs is really the Council resolution authorizing the mayor to negotiate for the prepayment of the loan, Garcia said in an interview.

+ January 22, 2021 IT S short of a miracle that the holding of dawn masses in the lead-up to Christmas Day in December or the physical novena masses for the Fiesta Señor 2021, before these were canceled by Augustinian friars earlier this month, did not contribute to the sharp rise in the number of coronavirus cases in Cebu City.
Unless someone is not telling the truth, or is manipulating it.
The fact remains, though, that active Covid cases increased from 93 on December 20, 2020 to 689 a month later.
Although the city’s Emergency Operations Center (EOC) identified gatherings during the holiday season as one reason for this, Inter-Agency Task Force for the Visayas chief implementer Ret. Gen. Melquiades Feliciano, during an interview with SunStar Cebu on Wednesday, January 20, 2021, did not link church congregations to the ongoing development.
