THE World Bank is extending the closing date of its $309.5-million Philippines Seismic Risk Reduction and Resilience Project by six months after implementation delays left the project rated “moderately unsatisfactory.”

In a restructuring paper dated June 8, the World Bank said the project’s closing date would be extended to Dec. 31 from June 30.

The project seeks to improve the safety and seismic resilience of selected public buildings in Metro Manila and strengthen the government’s capacity to respond to emergencies.

The bank said the project is currently rated “moderately unsatisfactory” in terms of both progress toward its development objective and implementation.

It said the project failed to meet its first project development objective (PDO) indicator because no civil works have been completed, while the second indicator has only been partially achieved through equipment procurement.

“However, during the latest mission in April, a notable improvement was observed in the performance of the project,” the bank said.

“The recent delegation of design approval to the project director is seen as a very significant sign that the Department of Public Works and Highways is committed to accelerate project implementation,” it added.

The six-month extension is intended as an interim measure to allow the government to complete its internal review and approval process for a longer extension and revisions to the project’s results framework.

“ The second restructuring will be processed upon completion of all necessary internal procedures. The PDOs will be achievable under extended implementation timeframe, after the second restructuring,” it added. — Justine Irish D. Tabile

Why The Green Bay Packers Must Take The Cleveland Browns Seriously — As Hard As That Might Be

The post Why The Green Bay Packers Must Take The Cleveland Browns Seriously — As Hard As That Might Be appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Jordan Love and the Green Bay Packers are off to a 2-0 start. Getty Images The Green Bay Packers are, once again, one of the NFL’s better teams. The Cleveland Browns are, once again, one of the league’s doormats. It’s why unbeaten Green Bay (2-0) is a 8-point favorite at winless Cleveland (0-2) Sunday according to betmgm.com. The money line is also Green Bay -500. Most expect this to be a Packers’ rout, and it very well could be. But Green Bay knows taking anyone in this league for granted can prove costly. “I think if you look at their roster, the paper, who they have on that team, what they can do, they got a lot of talent and things can turn around quickly for them,” Packers safety Xavier McKinney said. “We just got to kind of keep that in mind and know we not just walking into something and they just going to lay down. That’s not what they going to do.” The Browns certainly haven’t laid down on defense. Far from. Cleveland is allowing an NFL-best 191.5 yards per game. The Browns gave up 141 yards to Cincinnati in Week 1, including just seven in the second half, but still lost, 17-16. Cleveland has given up an NFL-best 45.5 rushing yards per game and just 2.1 rushing yards per attempt. “The biggest thing is our defensive line is much, much improved over last year and I think we’ve got back to our personality,” defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz said recently. “When we play our best, our D-line leads us there as our engine.” The Browns rank third in the league in passing defense, allowing just 146.0 yards per game. Cleveland has also gone 30 straight games without allowing a 300-yard passer, the longest active streak in the NFL.…
