FIX Metro Manila

Thank you ulit sa mga solid buyers natin!

Kung gusto nating mabawasan ang baha, mapangalagaan ang ating mga ilog, at mapabuti ang buhay ng mga komunidad sa tabi ng Pasig at Marikina... Ang sagot ay nasa mga puno pa rin.

TINGNAN:

Binabagtas ng mga motorista ang baha na umaabot hanggang gutter sa bahagi ng Ortigas Avenue sa San Juan City noong Lunes, Hunyo 1, 2026, habang nakararanas ang ilang bahagi ng Metro Manila ng katamtaman hanggang malakas na pag-ulan dulot ng habagat o southwest monsoon.

Nagbabala ang Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) na maaaring magpatuloy ang katamtaman hanggang malakas na pag-ulan na may kasamang pagkidlat at malalakas na bugso ng hangin sa Metro Manila at mga karatig-lalawigan. Naiulat din ang matitinding pag-ulan sa ilang bahagi ng Central Luzon at Calabarzon.

‘HINDI AKO HIHINGI NG SENATE CUSTODY’

Nagdaos ng press conference si Jinggoy Estrada ngayon Lunes, June 1, 2026.

“Hindi ako hihingi ng Senate custody. Hindi ko gagamitin ang Senado bilang panangga laban sa mga alegasyon sa akin,” aniya.

Naglabas ang Sandiganbayan Fifth Division ng warrant of arrest laban kay Estrada kaugnay ng kanyang kasong plunder na walang piyansa. Ang kaso ay nag-ugat sa umano’y pagtanggap niya ng P573 milyong halaga ng kickback mula sa mga proyekto sa flood control.

WHAT WILL IT TAKE TO FIX OUR WATER CRISIS?

Fixing the Philippines’ water problem will take more than temporary solutions during shortages or extreme heat. The challenges affecting water supply today are tied to deeper issues that have been building over time, from aging infrastructure and polluted water sources to rising demand and climate pressures.

Many water systems across the country were built decades ago, when populations were smaller and daily consumption was far lower. Today, these same systems are expected to support rapidly growing cities and communities. As demand continues to rise, older pipelines, pumping stations, and distribution networks are being pushed beyond what they were originally designed to handle. This is one reason why leaks, low pressure, and interruptions continue to happen in many areas.

At the same time, protecting water sources has become just as important as expanding supply. Pollution from untreated wastewater, industrial discharge, and improper waste disposal continues to affect rivers, lakes, and groundwater systems. As water quality declines, treatment becomes more difficult and more expensive, reducing the amount of clean water that can safely reach households.

Climate conditions are also making the problem more difficult to manage. During periods of extreme heat and lower rainfall, water levels in dams and reservoirs drop while consumption rises sharply. This places additional strain on systems that are already under pressure.

Solving the country’s water problem will require long-term investment in stronger infrastructure, better protection of natural water sources, improved planning, and systems that can adapt to future demand and climate challenges. It will also require coordination between agencies, local governments, utilities, and communities to ensure that solutions are sustainable over time.

Reliable water service is not dependent on one factor alone. It depends on how well the entire system can keep up with the realities of a growing population, changing climate conditions, and increasing demand.

'RECORD-LOW' NET SATISFACTION RATING

Bumaba ang net satisfaction rating ni Pres. Bongbong Marcos, base sa survey ng Social Weather Stations (SWS) noong Marso.

Sa naturang survey, 33% ng mga Pinoy ang satisfied sa performance ng Pangulo, habang nasa 49% ang dissatisfied, at 18% ang undecided.

Katumbas ito ng net satisfaction rating na -15 na itinuturing ng SWS na "poor." Ito na rin ang bagong record-low rating ng Pangulo.

Nasa 12 puntos itong mas mababa mula sa "neutral" na -3 net satisfaction rating ni Pres. Marcos Jr. noong November 2025.
