RECOGNIZING that water is fast becoming a scarce resource, Republic Cement takes a step further to protect and enhance water supply by partnering with World Wildlife Fund (WWF)-Philippines in the second phase of their "Catchments and Communities Project" which aims to develop a Morong Watershed Sustainability Plan.
The project, which began in 2015 with a study on the impact of urban and commercial development on the water balance of Morong, Rizal, will use the results of the first phase to engage local government units and stakeholders to commit to a strategic framework that will ensure the sustainability of the Morong watershed.
The project also calls for the formation of a Water Quality Management Area (WAQMA) to oversee the management and implementation of the watershed framework.
The partnership with WWF-Philippines is just one of several projects of Republic Cement to ensure widespread sustainability in various communities nationwide.
