Local Water
Utilities Administration Board Chairman Prospero A. Pichay Jr.
(left) speaks on the agency's plan to lead, in coordination with
the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) and
local water districts in the country, the planting of 30 million
trees in three years starting this year to help preserve vital
watershed areas and assure continuous sources and supply of freshwater.
He advocated the planting in many areas of bamboo which, he said,
retrieves greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide more efficiently
than ordinary trees. Chairman Pichay was the guest of honor and
speaker at the 3rd Tarlac Water Summit organized and hosted by
the Tarlac City Water District (TCWD) in conjunction with TCWD's
35th anniversary celebration recently.
