Assistant Secretary Glenda R. Rumohr-Figueroa , on the other hand, shed light on the crucial nexus between Finance and Water Security, encouraging collaborative financial efforts to drive meaningful change.On the sidelines of the event, Manila Standard had the privilege of engaging in an insightful conversation with Local Water Utilities Administration Chairman Ronnie Ong. “Every Drop Counts – A High-Level Dialogue for a Water-Secure Country,” was organized by Qarah Comms Inc. for LWUA.
Assessing the water situation in the Philippines, Ong stressed the need to address non-revenue water or water loss issues caused by various factors, resulting in a significant loss of the country’s water supply. “According to a SWS ng survey, only 67% of the households in the Philippines ang may maayos na tubig. So malayong malayo pa po,” Ong stressed.
