The Upper Wawa Dam, the country’s largest privately led bulk water supply project, is now delivering up to 710 million liters of water daily to Manila Water’s East Zone concession covering parts of Metro Manila and Rizal.
The project is owned by Manila Water Company, Inc., which is controlled by tycoon Enrique Razon Jr..

The renewable energy (RE) sector is open to foreign investment, but investors are quietly pulling out, according to Manila Bulletin columnist Myrna Velasco. One reason? Local government units (LGUs), each operating like its own independent kingdom👇

Another critical, related point raised: how to ensure that the Dulangan mini-hydro plant won't be struck down again by a typhoon. Response is integrating necessary inputs during the design phase.
