Quezon City Rep. Marvin Rillo on Sunday called on Maynilad Water Services Inc. and Manila Water Co. to prepare for El Niño, which could potentially put Metro Manila and neighboring provinces at risk of a severe water shortage.
“Our worry is that even if the forthcoming El Niño would be less harsh than what we experienced in 2019, Metro Manila might still be vulnerable to a severe water scarcity simply because demand has since increased,” he said.
