Finally, President Marcos has trained his sights on the country’s water security, which loomed large with the onset of the summer months. The dry months usually meant rationing of the resource. The fact that he is pushing Congress to craft a law to set up a government agency tasked with addressing what he termed as the “debilitating effect” of a water crisis on the economy is a step in the right direction.
However, semiconductors are also heavily reliant on water. To produce a single mobile phone, 3,000 gallons of ultra-pure water is needed. And to have that kind of special water, between 1,400 and 1,600 gallons of tap water is needed to produce 1,000 gallons of UPW. Thus, with the President acknowledging the need for water security, the gnawing fear of water supply challenges that the manufacturing sector is facing will go away.
We understand that the MWSS has already obtained from the elders of the Dumagat-Remontados tribe the free, prior and informed consent that the National Commission on Indigenous People required. Also, the agency has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the tribal leaders in the affected tribes in Rizal and Quezon who will receive P160 million in disturbance fees plus yearly benefits of P46 million for the IPs in General Nakar, Quezon and those in Tanay, Rizal.
