00:00Water is important in our lives, even in our simple daily activities like drinking, cooking, and cleaning.

00:07That's why many projects are focused on water care.

00:11In fact, an event will be held in Maraso to discuss solutions and initiatives for the proper management of water in the country.

00:19Let's find out the details about the Water Philippines 2025 Conference and Exposition

00:24In a busy interview with the Philippine Waterworks Association's Executive Director, Dr. Dickson Sanjuan,

00:35VP for National Affairs, and Partner Organizer, Ms. Rose Shitanuat.

00:41Good morning.

00:42Good morning.

00:44Welcome to RSP.

00:45Happy New Year.

00:47Alright, this is important.

00:48We all need water.

00:51Tell us more first about your organization, PWWA or PAWA.

00:57Yes, good morning, Rise and Shine.

01:00The Philippine Waterworks Association has been the umbrella organization of private and government agencies,

01:08as well as individuals in the development of water supply.

01:15And the PAWA has been a vital role in advancing the water security, innovations, solutions, and sustainability

01:29through its annual event, the Fill Water and Water Philippines.

01:35And also, the Philippine Waterworks conduct seminars, trainings, in promoting the new product with new technologies

01:46for the better future of the industry in the Philippines.

01:51So you are helping both the public and private sector, correct?

01:56Yes.

01:57So you also have members from different sectors, academia, government?

02:02We have the manufacturer, suppliers, contractors, consultants, academe, and for the government sectors,

02:10we have MWSS, PWWA, the Local Water Utilities Administration, the DPWH and DILG,

02:19and also PAWA, the Philippine Water Association of the Philippines.

02:25What are the usual problems or challenges that the country faces when it comes to water?

02:36In the whole Philippines, water security and sustainability is the number one issue.

02:43And this is what we are focusing on.

02:46As a matter of fact, one of the goals of the Water Philippines is to advance water security and sustainability.

02:55Because in water sustainability, it is important to talk about it because water is important to everyone.

03:02So Water Philippines is helping our country to have new technologies, ideas, and innovations

03:16that can help our water utilities and the water sector.

03:22Alright, Dr. Sanujan, we showed you earlier, I think that was your event in 2023, right?

03:27And you were there with President Ferdinand R. Marcos. Tell us about the highlights of that event.

03:32The 2023 event that was raised by our President, BBM,

03:42was an exhibition, Water Philippines 2023,

03:50where we saw and appreciated new technologies and innovations.

03:56It was really fun because the President himself saw the importance of water.

04:03And I was happy and we were happy because during the speech of the President,

04:09I really saw his passion for the water sector.

04:13And now, I can see that both our Chamber of Congress, the House and Senate,

04:23are really pushing the Department of Water.

04:27And hopefully, that will be a big help to our water sector

04:33to ensure water and sustainability as well.

04:39So you are in favor of having a Department of Water?

04:44It's really a favor because the Philippines is very fragmented in water agencies.

04:51So there should be a lead agency that will manage

04:55to focus on water security and sustainability because it's very important.

05:01Because a country cannot be affected if there is no security in water.

05:05Because water is what we need to survive.

05:09Ms. Rose, you have an upcoming event, the Water Philippines 2025 Conference and Exposition.

05:16What is the goal of this event?

05:20Tell us about this event.

05:21So the Water Philippines Expo 2025, we continue working with PAWA,

05:27which is our strategic partner in bringing the innovation, technology,

05:33and all around to make water for Philippines country.

05:39So it is focused on from the drinking water to waste water management.

05:46Back to Mr. Dickson mentioned about water security, sustainability.

05:50Water is important for every household, every business unit.

05:55So the way we are looking at that is how we bring the technology innovation into Philippines,

06:01how to sustain the water supply in Philippines.

06:05So in the show, there will be around 400 companies,

06:09over 400 companies from around the world, more than 14 countries

06:14that exhibit and showcase their innovative technology,

06:19how to produce water, how to do desalination,

06:24for like changing the seawater into the water that ready to use.

06:28So this kind of thing is going to happen at the show.

06:32And we expect this to attract 12,000 trade visitors from hospitality,

06:40from hotel, from agriculture, from aquaculture to see how they can utilize water,

06:48produce water, and even manage water after they use it like waste management concept.

06:55Okay.

06:56So even if you're like from household, businesses, or different organizations,

07:01you can actually learn from this conference.

07:05Is this open to Filipino organizations?

07:08Is this free?

07:09Is there a fee?

07:10Yes.

07:10Okay.

07:12Actually, this is open.

07:15But our attendees here need to register to make sure that the program is going smoothly.

07:25Actually, the students, especially the students of engineering,

07:32are very important attendees here so that they can see the technology and innovation

07:39that can help our country and their practice in the future.

07:45Actually, the academe often joins here.

07:48And the government agencies like water districts, like MWSS, LUA, they join

07:57because they see that there is something to learn and something to get.

08:01Even the big suppliers, they join.

08:04Not just to get customers, but to really help our sector grow.

08:12So how can those who want to join, how can they reach out to you?

08:20There is a site, Water Philippines, that you can see on Facebook.

08:27They can see the site.

08:29They can register.

08:31It's easy.

08:32They just type Water Philippines on Facebook.

08:34They can see it right away.

08:36So they can register free of charge?
