MANILA, Philippines — An executive order (EO) that aims to solve the water issues in the country is now underway for President Rodrigo Duterte’s input and approval. ADVERTISEMENT“I believe the different agencies agree on the problems that need to be resolved to prevent the sort of water supply management issues now being experienced in Metro Manila,” Nograles said in a statement. According to Nograles, the provisions under the draft of the EO cover the various components of integrated water resource management. “Given the scope and breadth of water-related concerns, the supervision of OP could help ensure that all 30-plus agencies involved in water resource management are on the same page,” Nograles said. CAS representatives of the different agencies were “focused on finding solutions to the problem instead of dwelling on its roots,” Nograles said.
