Looking into Manila’s waste water treatment: Senator Cynthia A. Villar, chair of the Committee on Environment and Natural Resources, listens to officials of Metropolitan Waterworks and Sewerage System (MWSS) as they report the condition of waste water treatment in Metro Manila during a committee hearing, Monday, August 6, 2018. “Given that the people’s health and right to a balanced and healthful ecology are paramount, there is a need to determine what the MWSS and its concessionaires are doing to speed up the installation of sewage treatment facilities in Metro Manila, as waiting for them to complete their job for the next 19 years might be too late,” Villar said.
