00:00 DNR called on the Gulf Cores in Metro Manila to save water and if possible, use recycled water.
00:10 The agency also ordered to reduce the use of water in government offices by up to 10%.
00:17 This is the first of the claims of Claizel Pardilio.
00:22 The Department of Environment and Natural Resources is saving water for the public and private Gulf Cores in Metro Manila.
00:31 This is followed by the continuous reduction of the water level of Angat Dam, which is the primary source of water supply in NCR.
00:38 Today, the water level of Angat Dam reached 185.65 meters, which is far from 212 meters of normal high water level.
00:48 In the bulletin No. 4 of the DNR, the use of recycled water in water supply is being emphasized and the use of water from the toilet and shower of clubhouses is being reused.
00:59 The Metro is also investigating the water. If there is a leak, the main valve will be closed from 8 pm to 4 am.
01:08 As much as possible, the swimming pool maintenance work should be removed because it needs draining and replacement of water.
01:15 There are many who enjoy golf, but we're looking at the larger public and the good that can come from the conservation effort.
01:25 The DNR is also monitoring the consumption of water in government agencies, which is reduced by 10%.
01:33 The fountains are closed.
01:35 The Environment and Energy Department of the DNR and three large power companies have also reached an agreement to protect the Verde Island Passage or VIP,
01:46 which is rich in marine life and is considered the center of the center of marine shorefish biodiversity.
01:53 A technical working group will also be formed on how to take care of the Verde Island Passage.
01:59 We build on the strengths and we look at the gaps that are existing and of course the science that has already been done in order to improve the situation.
02:08 The most important thing is to be able to establish the appropriate monitoring devices of the entire Verde Island Passage.
02:17 So we can test it for levels of salinity, temperature, effluence, which is very important for preserving marine life.
02:27 Marine Biological Research Station will also establish companies.
02:31 Provide the resources, provide the funding, most importantly, search for the talent to be able to give us the advice on what to do and support that implementation.
02:42 Some environmental groups are alarmed by the establishment of a liquefied natural gas terminal in Matangas City.
02:49 And the increase in marine vehicles that carry oil, gas or dirt that is considered to be harmful to the Verde Island.
02:57 DOE and companies are crying.
03:00 In the next 25 years, we will do everything to protect the environment in this area.
03:08 We don't want to have any accidents and spills.
03:13 But as in contrast, LNG is in fact not safer because the liquefied form gets to evaporate and does not affect the marine environment.
03:25 The agreement of the companies, Environment Department and DOE will last for 5 years.
