“Halos mga unsafe ang mga tubig na kinukuhanan ng mga 11 million na pamilya. Ito ay galing sa mga deep wells, mga spring, mga bukal na hindi protected iyong mga iyan, at mga ilog at mga lawa, kasama na rin iyong mga tubig-ulan,” David added.
He said the problem of lack of access to clean water and supply is exacerbated during the dry season. “May sapat naman tayong supply. Pero ang sabi kasi ng Pagasa ay mayroon pong nagbabadyang El Niño,” he said.
