President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. has ordered the creation of a new office that will manage the country’s water resources amid challenges brought about by climate change.
The Presidential Communications Office said the President ordered the formation of the Water Resource Management Office during Wednesday’s multi-sectoral meeting in Malacañang to consolidate water management efforts of all concerned government offices.
“There’s enough water in the Philippines, we are just not using it properly so it ends up being wasted,” Marcos said. Marcos pushed for the creation of the WRMO due to the pending new law, which will create the proposed Water Resource Department . The WRMO will be coordinating with the Presidential Legislative Liaison Office in lobbying in Congress for the WRD.
The country is heavily reliant on its water resources for its food supply, sustaining its growing urban areas, as well as its power supply through hydro power plants.
