Corporate Objectives MWSS-CO exercises the best practices in good governance to contribute and achieve economic growth, generate employment opportunities, and cultivate a conducive working environment, thus measures its performance standards to: 1) Ensure sustainable water supply MWSS’ priority is to source raw water for domestic supply. Thus the agency dutifully adheres to its mandate of providing an uninterrupted and continuous supply of potable water to the people of Metro Manila and parts of Cavite and Rizal by continuously sourcing major water supply projects while ensuring the protection of watersheds and sustainable livelihood plans for the residents affected by the said projects. 2) Ensure customer satisfaction in MWSS service delivery More than just sourcing raw water for domestic supply, MWSS also serves as a source of information to academic institutions and other inter-agency units, safeguarding the environment through coordination with other agencies, protection of rights-of-way, and assets; and overseeing sewerage systems through the Concessionaires. 3) Ensure continuity Water Security programs The MWSS-CO adopts an ecologically and economically efficient concept in the development of water infrastructure as an overarching strategy towards the pursuit of its water security programs. Considering the significant contribution of infrastructure development in achieving inclusive growth, optimizing investments in its infrastructure projects to (a) ensure that these projects/programs are not overdesigned or over- specified; (b) minimize cost overruns, project implementation delays and changes in scopes of works: and (c) ensure that the projects' full functionalities are achieved at the most appropriate designs and least costs. 4) Nurture a More Efficient and Effective Workforce Consistent with the objective of the reorganization implemented in 2018, MWSS has embarked on investing in technically competent personnel through continuous training and competency programs and providing appropriate health, wellness, and other benefits programs. 5.) Ensure Sound Financial Management As part of MWSS’ contribution and commitment to promote fiscal discipline and improve the National Government (NG) cash management, MWSS has consistently remitted dividends out of its corporate earnings. 6 | 2019 MWSS Annual Report CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE When I took the helm as the new MWSS Chairman, I knew it would not be easy being an MWSS Administrator for two years prior. There is more to a water utility than meets the eye. What some simply see water from the tap, is a complex gamut of infrastructure vulnerabilities, investment strategies, and technologies to place a new water source or deliver potable, and adequate water to homes, and every sector of society. Aware of the complexities in water security, I promised myself not to fail. That is why we started to work on the water security plan to forestall lack of water supply in the future. The year 2019 is memorable - - • A year when climate change wrought havoc as Angat Dam and La Mesa Dam which reached their lowest elevation, along with turbidity issues of water sourced from Laguna Lake. • The year of double whammies. MWSS was slapped big time by legal fines. The Supreme Court decided a P921 million penalty concerning the Clean Water Act, and the international court, the Permanent Court on Arbitration (PCA) award of P10.8 Billion to the Concessionaires for acts committed by officials of the previous administration; and • The year also started the clamor to terminate the Concession Agreement. Breaking away from the very cautious posture of the past leaderships in water source development, we have reoriented our priorities and adopted short-term, medium-term, and long-term raw water sources. The MWSS Board approved several water source projects to develop additional sources from Laguna Lake, Wawa, Marikina, and Laguna Rivers. Several projects were started to help moderate overdependence on Angat and mitigate associated risks for the summer of 2020. Priority projects are now brimming to the seams with projects like the: Marikina Mobile Water Treatment Plants (MBWTP), Cavite-NIA MWTP, Rizal Wellfields, NRW reduction, and the development of a third Water Treatment Plant (WTP) right after the second WTP was constructed near Laguna Lake. Moreover, while we are in solidarity with our Concessionaires in the interventions concerning limited supply, at the heart of our decision was customer value. To strike the right balance, MWSS imposed penalties for the water shortage and additional fines to fund new water supply sources. The new Concession being prepared by the Executive Department will completely resolve the P10.8 Billion penalty imposed by the PCA and at the same time remove some of the old provisions that will eventually benefit our consumers. The 2019 operating environment also meant enhancing our financial performance to fund ongoing strategic programs and completing projects. As a GOCC, we have gained greater “financial independence,” using our portfolio of assets for corporate revenue generation—our way of showing how eager we are to support the government spending measures. I am thankful that together with our highly dedicated members of the Board, the MWSS staff, and the Concessionaires, we have risen above the challenges and served our stakeholders and customers. Going forward, our 2019 experiences have given us a clearer sense of focus in our future direction in how we manage our finite water resources. PDDG REYNALDO V. VELASCO (Ret) MWSS Board Chairman 7 | 2019 MWSS Annual Report This Annual Report is a testament to the pivotal role of MWSS in ensuring adequate supply and distribution of safe and potable water. In doing so, we in MWSS pursues and continues to develop programs and policies to provide the consumers with affordable and safe water. As we carry out this mandate, we are aware that much more needs to be done. John C. Maxwell, in his book, The 17 Indisputable Laws of MESSAGE FROM THE Teamwork, we must follow the High Road Principle, a road where people treat others better than they treat us. Maxwell ADMINISTRATOR mentions that the high road is truly the path less traveled. This is because taking the high road requires thinking and acting in ways that are not natural or common. However, those who practice the High Road Principle become instruments of grace to others and recipients of grace. Grace is important for us, especially as we recognize that there is a higher Being above, providing us strength and guidance as we take a stand in doing what is right. As I do my daily tasks, I always ensure that I withdraw my inspiration from Above.

  • Appendix a Water Pollution in the Philippines: Case Studies
    Foreword CLIMATE CHANGE is undoubtedly the biggest challenge the Philippines faces today, and the vulnerability of our water resources to this phenomenon is a reality that can no longer be ignored. But while water scarcity is perhaps one of the most alarming projected effects of climate change on water resources, two recent typhoons in the Philippines— Ketsana and Parma—have driven home the message that over-abundance can be equally devastating. Both typhoons, along with several others in the past few years, have shown how the country is sorely ill-prepared to handle the impacts brought on by a warming world. Indeed, climate change and the ensuing extreme weather events which have brought too little—or too much—water, have caused periods of water crisis that have destroyed thousands of lives and billions of pesos worth of property and agricultural crops. At the same time, water resources in the country are already confronted with many persistent problems: widespread pollution, over-extraction, and the degradation of watersheds. The present situation, set against the backdrop of climate change, is far from promising. While climate change will affect all sectors, it is its effects on freshwater—society’s, and the Earth’s, life support system—which will be most seriously felt. Water insecurity cuts across all other sectors and will negatively affect agriculture, health, and the economy. But the country’s water systems are still far from being climate-proofed, and current climate change adaptation plans lack the necessary emphasis on addressing impacts on water. This report therefore puts forward the case for the improved management of water resources as a key climate change adaptation strategy.

  • Remontado (Hatang-Kayi): a Moribund Language of the Philippines
    Vol. 13 (2019), pp. 1–34 http://nflrc.hawaii.edu/ldc http://hdl.handle.net/10125/24796 Revised Version Received: 26 Mar 2018 Notes from the Field: Remontado (Hatang-Kayi): A Moribund Language of the Philippines Jason William Lobel University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa Orlando Vertudez Surbano Punong Barangay, Limutan, General Nakar, Philippines Nearly half a century has passed since Philippine educator Teodoro Llamzon dis- covered the Remontado language, which would be introduced to the world in a master’s thesis written by his student Pilar Santos. Although data from the wordlists they collected have been included in subsequent publications by several other authors, no one had revisited the language community, let alone collected any additional data on this highly-endangered language, prior to the current au- thors. This article presents updated information on the language community, the current state of the language, and a revised description of the various grammat- ical subsystems of the language, including its verbal morphology. Also included are over 400 audio recordings illustrating basic aspects of the phonology as well as the various functor sets and verb forms, and a short text for comparison with other similar language sketches. 1. Introduction1 One of the Philippines’ most critically endangered languages is Re- montado (from a Spanish term meaning ‘one who has gone back up into the moun- tains’), also known by the endonym Hatang-Kayi, which means “this language”.2 While its speakers claim that their language was once spoken throughout a consider- able portion of the provinces of Rizal and Quezon northeast of Manila, it has since lost all of its lowland territory, as well as most of the mountainous area to which its speakers later retreated.
