00:00It has been almost two years since the water that was often taken by some residents of Bae and Los Baños, Laguna was complained of.
00:08If there is polluted water and there is a leak, they are constantly asked to clean it.
00:15We have a special report from Katrina Son.
00:22Water is one of the most important daily necessities.
00:27But what if almost every day you have to go to the well or go to the ration shop?
00:35That is the life of some residents of Bae, Laguna.
00:38Shirley Kabaten of Barangay Dila said,
00:41if there is a leak in the tap, the water comes out dirty.
00:45It cannot be used for cooking or for bathing.
00:47There is a lot of water coming out.
00:50The water here is like that.
00:52Honey Rose Alcantara is afraid for her three children.
00:56She said that the tap water is hot.
00:58The tap water is weak.
01:01I am afraid that they will get sick because of the water.
01:08According to the LGU, 13 out of 15 barangays of Bae are affected by water problems.
01:14In Los Baños, there is usually no water supply in the tap.
01:18They are thankful that it rains every afternoon.
01:21They use rainwater for cooking or for bathing.
01:25We feel the pain in our body, in our body.
01:29We feel it in the night.
01:31If the tap is clean, we will get water from the tap.
01:34They also have a hard time bathing.
01:36We adjust the time of bathing.
01:39Instead of in the afternoon, it is in the early morning.
01:42It has been a year since the water problems of some barangays in Los Baños, Laguna.
01:48This includes Tuntungin, Puto and Purok Uno.
01:52But their problems are getting worse this month
01:55because they are afraid that water will spill from their taps.
02:00It depends on the position of the tap or the place where the households are located.
02:08If it is low, they will get water early even if there is no pressure.
02:15If it is high, they will get water early even if there is no pressure.
02:21We get water from the well because sometimes the water we get is dirty.
02:25We can't use it for food.
02:29Residents call for attention of Laguna Water District Aquatic Resources Corporation or LARC.
02:37According to Manila Water Philippines Ventures,
02:40which is the new operator of LARC,
02:43they are against the complaint filed against LARC.
02:46They say that they will investigate the issues to form plans to improve the service.
02:52They also ask for understanding from the customers of LARC.
02:56We tried to get permission from the LGUs of Los Baños and Bae.
03:00We personally brought a letter to the Los Baños LGU.
03:03But according to the office of the mayor,
03:05it will take a week before the appointment of the mayor can be set.
03:09We also went to the LGU of Bae.
03:11But everyone is still busy and there is no statement yet.
