Community involvement takes precedence under this MOU, spotlighting the significant role of community trainings, information drives, and volunteer mobilization in crafting a successful environmental narrative. These collective actions infuse the program with the vigor it requires to succeed.
During the ceremonial signing, Maynilad's gift of two trash boats, buoys, life vests, and cleanup kits was not mere donations but the seeds of environmental stewardship. They represent the tools that empower the community, ensuring the initiative’s trajectory remains steadfastly set towards restoration.
The operationalization of the Modular Treatment Plants underscores the tangible benefits of this alliance, with the anticipation of meeting the water needs of 132,000 customers in the area.
