00:00It is possible that drinking Gripo water is safer than drinking water from a water refilling station, according to the DNR.

00:08For the explanation of the DNR, please refer to my report.

00:16Some Filipinos are used to drinking Gripo water, including Emilia.

00:20It's delicious.

00:21If you put ice in it, it's okay.

00:24Even my grandchildren can drink it, even when they were small.

00:28They grew up healthy.

00:29Grandmother Cynthia also drinks Gripo water, but she doesn't let her grandchildren drink it for a year.

00:34It can be painful or can cause diarrhea.

00:37Some are not satisfied with the quality of Gripo water, so they buy it from a water refilling station.

00:43Achilles spends P50 on water for three days.

00:47When you drink Gripo water, it has a taste.

00:50It's different from the feeling, especially for children.

00:54In this water refilling station, they sell P35 for each gallon of water.

00:59In one day, they sell 100 gallons.

01:02We test the water every month.

01:06We drain and clean the water every day.

01:10According to the DNR Undersecretary C.P. David, most of the water refilling stations are not monitored.

01:17When I go to the water refilling station, there is no engineer there.

01:21There is a boy there who cleans the container and fills it up.

01:26He doesn't know if the reverse osmosis equipment works.

01:31Let's experiment one time.

01:33Buy two bottles.

01:35Let that one container sit for about two weeks.

01:40Then drink it.

01:42See the deterioration in the quality of water.

01:46Because in many cases, the water refilling stations that we have are left unregulated at this point in time.

01:54So it's not that clean.

01:56Maybe the water from the tap water is cleaner.

01:59The TIAC says the water supplied by Manila and Manila Water is safe to drink,

02:03even if it passes through the pipes.

02:06As long as it comes out of the Gripo and does not impact the tank where it can possibly go bad.

02:10The quality of the water is being tested when it comes out of the treatment facilities.

02:14Because of the high pressure in the pipes, even if there is a hole, it cannot enter the pipes.

02:19For example, the water channel.

02:21Even if there is a bacteria present in the pipeline, that chlorine will still kill it.

02:26That's why it's residual.

02:27There is still chlorine left in our water up to the customer level.

02:32The solution is being looked at to ensure the quality of drinking water and to lower the costs here.

02:37What if a water service provider complete with expertise,

02:42the engineers and the know-how, also become a water refilling company?

02:49If we are to do this, definitely the quality of water will be better and the cost will be lower.

02:58We are also obtaining a statement from the Food and Drug Administration

03:01that the water refilling stations are instructed to monitor.

03:04Under the administrative order of the DOH,

03:06the quality of the water should be tested regularly

03:08and the water supplied should meet the Philippine National Standards for Drinking Water

03:13including the water being sold in water refilling stations.
