MSOpinion Water crisis, floods — the new normal “BBM must really be scratching the bottom of the barrel with the appointment of a disbarred lawyer as presidential adviser on poverty alleviation”
“BBM must really be scratching the bottom of the barrel with the appointment of a disbarred lawyer as presidential adviser on poverty alleviation”Starting with Maynilad scheduled water interruptions as the new normal.
Maynilad and Manila Water have not done anything but to rely only on what water regulators — the Metropolitan Water and Sewage System and the Water Resources Board— have provided for Metro Manila. And for goodness sake, what has the government done, as I said, to mitigate our suffering as consumers?Again, I know I am asking for nothing much from the government to lessen the water crisis that has adverse effects on the people.
That can be blamed on the inability of Metro Manila Development Authority to prepare for the onset of typhoon season. It is now clear that life in the Metro with the water crisis and floods is becoming the new normal.Another crisis that has come up is the shortage of nurses with the continuous outflow of nurses seeking greener pastures, a shortage that affects us all.
Perhaps in an attempt to cushion the impact of the problem which has become a crisis, President Marcos Jr. said, “we are victims of our successes.”The DOH now has the problem of how to contend with the shortage of nurses. With the unsolicited offer of the six conglomerates of P210 billion to repair and modernize the Ninoy Aquino International Airport following the continuing criticism that NAIA is perhaps the worst international airport in the world, there are also plans to privatize management and make the six conglomerates the management as a concessionaire for 20 years and renewable for another 15 years.
