LLDA deepens environmental commitment with Manila Water

Ablaza, Jr. together with LLDA Executive Director Nereus “Neric” Acosta at the recently-held Toka Toka Renewal of Partnership at LLDA Building in Quezon City.  Both were joined by Manila Water group directors Geodino V. Carpio of Operations; Jeric T. Sevilla, OIC for Corporate Strategic Affairs and Corporate Communications Head and Manila Water COO Ferdinand Dela Cruz together LLDA officers.

The Laguna Lake Development Authority (LLDA) renewed its environmental commitment with Manila Water’s Toka Toka advocacy, the first and only environmental movement focused on used water management. LLDA has been an active partner of the Toka Toka movement since 2012.

Manila Water President Gerardo C. Ablaza, Jr. said the renewal of the agreement would further pave the way for greater cooperation between Manila Water and LLDA in the area of environmental protection and conservation, especially of water resources.

“The renewal of our partnership would further deepen our agencies’ commitments for environmental protection and promote increased awareness among all stakeholders of the need to protect and conserve our water resources,” Ablaza said during the ceremonial Partnership Seal Signing agreement at the LLDA main office in Quezon City.

Ablaza said the part of the partnership would also oversee the creation of “barangay champions” in full compliance with Republic Acts 9003 (Ecological Solid Waste Management Act) and 9275 (Philippine Clean Water Act of 2004).

For his part, LLDA Executive Director Nereus ‘Neric’ Acosta not only extolled the virtues of Toka Toka and other environmental programs initiated by Manila Water but also its efforts to forge partnerships and cooperation with various government like the LLDA and even non-government organizations.

Acosta also said the partnership between his agency and Manila Water is also aimed at further securing individual and institutional commitments to do their “toka” or share to revive rivers in the metropolis as a major component of environmental protection.

“You cannot protect what you cannot and do not value. You have to learn to value first so that you’ll have greater involvement and stake in its protection and conservation,” Acosta said.

The LLDA chief said the agency will also take part not only in Manila Water’s Lingap Sapa project (clean-up of creeks) but also in information and education campaigns for the International Coastal Clean-Up. LLDA has spearheaded several programs which included the creation of information materials on river rehabilitation, public message banners and billboards at La Mesa Ecopark, provision of cleaning attire for “environmental armies” and inclusion of Toka Toka presentation during seminars for pollution control officers.

The “Toka Toka” campaign promotes the following: proper disposal of garbage; desludging of septic tanks; connecting to Manila Water’s sewer network; and supporting community-based sanitation and used-water projects.
