Metropolitan Waterworks and Sewerage System Administrator Reynaldo V. Velasco will keynote a water forum organized by the Management Association of the Philippines, the country’s leading organization committed to promoting management excellence for nation-building, this Friday, Aug. 24, 2018 at the Conservatory in Peninsula Manila, Makati City.
The forum titled “Ensuring Water Security and Sustainability” and a project of the MAP Climate Change and Sustainable Development Committee brings together water leaders and environment officials from various organizations to discuss the various plans of the government, public and private sectors in ensuring water security and sustainability in the country.
“This forum comes at a time when our country is witnessing the phenomenal growth of infrastructure aligned with President Rodrigo Roa Duterte’s Build, Build, Build initiative,” Velasco says. “I am proud to inform you that water infrastructure is not far behind.”
MAP president and Maynilad CEO and president Ramoncito S. Fernandez adds, “As players in the water industry, we need to realize that the challenges that we are facing are bigger than us, individually. Sustainable solutions to these problems may require putting our heads —if not our resources—together.”
Also attending the forum are Manila Water President and CEO Ferdinand Dela Cruz and COO Ding Carpio and Maynilad COO Randy Estrellado.
