Advocacy and Citizens' Action to the Present Water Crisis

In response to the present water crisis in the Philippines and other parts of the world.

Dr Abe V Rotor

Harvesting rain water at home

  1. Use water wisely, limit consumption.
  2. Plant trees, support the Greening Movement. 
  3. Report illegal activities in the reservoir and watershed such as kaingin.
  4. Support the move to close permanently the Payatas landfill. 
  5. Strongly recommend reduction of water bill through Congress, local government leaders,  civic and church organizations.
  6. Reduce pollution, do not burn plastic.  Plastic emits DIOXIN, the most poisonous man-made substance that can be carried by wind and rain which may find its way to our water supply. 
  7. For those near and around the watersheds of the system, make your backyard an "extension of the watershed," and a wildlife sanctuary, too.    
  8. Strongly support the "Save the Angat Dam" before anything catastrophic happens. 
  9. Love Nature, take time out from office school and work. Develop Reverence for life as a personal philosophy.
  10. Enjoin the family, church, and community in ensuring every citizen the right for clean, available and affordable water, as embodied in the Declaration of Human Rights by the United Nations.~
