San Juan City Mayor and Metro Manila Council President Francis Zamora urged the public on Thursday, June 15, to be responsible in using water and to recycle it as part of the country's efforts in mitigating the expected adverse effects of the El Niño phenomenon to the society.
"Samin sa city hall pwede na ngayon maggawa ng rain catchment areas, ganun din sa aming barangay halls, preschools, government facilities, at ganun din sa ating kanya-kanyang mga tahanan. Ang ibig sabihin ng water catchment ay sasaluhin lang natin 'yung rainwater. Pag umuulan sasaluhin natin 'yung tubig tapos sa pamamagitan ng paggawa ng mga embudo, pagkuha ng mga drum na pagsasalukan ng tubig, ito ay gagamitin natin sa ibat ibang paraan.
"Ngayon pa lang po ina-announce ko na na ang magiging selebrasyon ng ating Wattah Wattah Festival sa June 24 ay isang selebrasyon kung saang mapapakita din natin 'yung paggamit ng tubig ay bibigyan namin ng kahalagahan. Ibig sabihin we will have a celebration that is not connected with water consumption ," Zamora said.
El Niño or warm phase is characterized by unusually warmer-than-average sea surface temperatures in the central and eastern equatorial Pacific.
