“Ang maganda pa po doon sa tinitignan nating sistema, iyon pong unang tulo, lalong-lalo na kung galing sa bubong iyong tubig, tatapon po muna. Para ‘yung nai-istore lang is ‘yung malinis na tubig,” he added.
MMC president San Juan City Mayor Francis Zamora said that the catchment system could be set up in city halls, barangay halls, and public schools, among others. “Kesa naman ang tubig ulan ay dumaloy lamang sa mga kalye at sa mga drainage na nagdadagdag pa sa problema ng baha, mas mabuting saluhin natin ito at gamitin sa mas mabuting paraan,” he added.Zamora said the MMDA will provide the tanks for the catchment system, and that they will be piloting the system to cities in Metro Manila.
“But on an individual basis, pwede naman po itong gawin sa bawat LGU [local government unit]. Ang concept lang naman dito ay saluhin ang tubig ulan, so ano man ang nakikita nating paraan para masalo nga ito, halimbawa yung mga bubong natin, pwede nating lagyan ng pwedeng laglalagyan ng tubig, papunta sa isang embudo na pupunta naman sa mga drum na pwede nating gamitin upang magimbak ng tubig,” said Zamora.
