MANILA, Philippines - Water supply within its concession areas is safe for domestic consumption even as the new coronavirus continues to spread in the country, the Metropolitan Waterworks and Sewerage Systems Regulatory Office said Monday.

In a statement, the agency said the water supply maintained in the distribution systems up to the customers' taps has been disinfected with chlorine as prescribed by the Department of Health.

"Our water is therefore free from bacteria and viruses (including the COVID-19 virus) and is safe for domestic consumption," MWSS Chief Regulator Patrick Lester Ty said.

The wastewater discharged from sewages and septage treatment plants into receiving bodies of water has also been disinfected with chlorine.

Currently, there is no evidence about the survival of the new coronavirus in drinking water or sewage, the World Health Organization said.

"The COVID-19 virus is an enveloped virus with a fragile outer membrane. Generally, enveloped viruses are less stable in the environment and are more susceptible to oxidants such as chlorine," WHO said in an interim guidance for water, sanitation, hygiene and waste management for COVID-19 on March 19.

COVID-19 can spread from person to person through small droplets from the nose or mouth which are spread when an infected person coughs or exhales. The virus can also be caught by a people when they touch the objects or surfaces where droplets land then touch their eyes, nose or mouth.

The DOH on Sunday reported 343 new COVID-19 cases, marking the country's largest daily increase in infections. This brought the nation's total to 1,418.

President Rodrigo Duterte on March 16, 2020 declares an enhanced community quarantine over all of mainland Luzon, an expansion of an earlier general community quarantine over the National Capital Region.

The entire National Capital Region-16 cities and a municipality-is under community quarantine from March 15 to April 14, which means the enforcement of social distancing measures like letting fewer people on public transportation, reduced store hours, and the possibiity of curfews.

According to a memorandum issued by the Palace on Saturday, March 14, the quarantine means that " movement of people shall be limited to accessing basic necessities and work; and uniformed personnel and quarantine officers shall be present at border points."

Travel restrictions in and out of the capital will also be implemented.

A labor group says another lockdown will never resolve rising COVID-19 cases in the Philippines after the government announced that Metro Manila, Cavite, Laguna, Bulacan and Rizal are placed under the enhanced community quarantine starting Monday.

"The Duterte government seems to be deliberate in focusing its efforts in imposing quarantine and lockdown measures instead of addressing the rising cases of COVID-19 and the worsening state of the pandemic through medical solutions and scientific approach," says Defend Jobs Philippines.

Presidential spokesperson Harry Roque says the implementation of enhanced community quarantine is meant to slow down the increase of COVID-19 cases, so hospitals and health workers will not be overwhelmed.

TUGUEGARAO CITY - Senator Juan Miguel Zubiri on Thursday has vowed to inquire about the skyrocketing prices of fertilizers and agricultural seeds "that have been detrimental to the farmers."

The Bukidnon-born senator said he would quiz Agriculture Secretary William Dar on the matter aside from other agricultural issues as the budget hearings on DA and other agencies are slated on Friday.

"I raised an alarm on this. The DA (Department of Agriculture) should find a way to solve this problem. Just think of these skyrocketing prices. Say for instance, the urea fertilizer is PHP900 a sack last month but it pegs at PHP1,800 or almost PHP2,000 this month," Zubiri said in an interview after his ceremonial distribution of rice assistance and isolation tents to villagers affected by the pandemic and typhoons at the city hall here.

"In other countries, we see low prices of agricultural inputs," he added.

Zubiri cited the Agri-Agra Law which exempted value-added tax for fertilizer products for both imported and domestically produced except for materials used in producing fertilizers which are still charged.

He noted the low farm-gate prices of agricultural products, which is "detrimental to the farmers due to the high prices of inputs."

As to the importation of frozen vegetables and fruits such as the imported carrots that affected farmers in Benguet, Zubiri said he would ask the agriculture department to push for an "importation-free" action.

"If the production is not met, we can import but if we have stable or oversupply of vegetables, fruits and other crops, we should not import," he said. (PNA)

In this drought a lot of things happened in Tuguegarao City which lessened the number of production of Agricultural resources

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
TUGUEGARAO CITY -- The drought in Cagayan Valley region has resulted in damage to agriculture amounting to PHP2.1 billion for a month now, according to regional agriculture data released on Monday.

Damage to at least 48,394 hectares of palay farms reached PHP702 million, while to 66,963 hectares of corn farms at PHP1.4 billion.

Cagayan was hardest hit with damage on 35,054 hectares, Isabela -8,145 hectares, Nueva Vizcaya -2,551 hectares, and Quirino -1,743 hectares.

Department of Agriculture Regional Executive Director Narciso Edillo said they already sent the latest El Niño damage report to the central office to jumpstart the allocation of funds for seed subsidies and other assistance to affected farmers.

Edillo said they had planned cloud seeding operations, but could not find cloud formations.

A Nomad plane from the Philippine Air Force-Tactical Operations Group had been on standby to fly and do cloud seeding through the inducement of chemicals, such as silver iodide or dry ice.

"The cloud seeding team could not locate cloud formation due to the dry season. Let us hope that we can have successful cloud seeding soon," Edillo said.

As this developed, Eulogio Agatep II, the Awake party-list's second nominee and former mayor of Lasam town in Cagayan, exhorted private water concessionaires to speed up the "establishment of backup facilities or other sources" to augment water supply.

To ensure clean, safe and potable water for the public, the environment advocate said there must be proper disposal and treatment of sewage and wastewater and rehabilitation of contaminated waters.

"One important thing is to promote rainwater harvesting for household use and other purposes," he added.

Aside from focusing on water-related issues, Agatep also cited the need to focus on climate change and environmental concerns, such as air and waste management.

"Climate change has adverse effects to our water sources due to the higher temperature which causes higher evaporation rate. It also affects our food security, health and the overall environment," he said.

To mitigate climate change, Agatep said everyone must shift towards low-carbon emission from mobile and stationary sources by tapping renewable energy and other environmentally-sustainable resources.

He also pushed for responsible waste disposal through decreasing single-use plastics and strict implementation of the Solid Waste Management Act.

Agatep added massive and sustainable tree planting should be done, aside from promoting total or selective log ban and safe mining for better environment for the future generations. (PNA)

TUGUEGARAO CITY - The Department of Agriculture in Region 2 (Cagayan Valley) (DA-2) has been holding orientation and field demonstrations to help farmers control the infestation of brown plant hoppers which has been ravaging their crops for several weeks now.

Mindaflor Aquino, senior science specialist of the Regional Crop Protection Management Center (RCPMC), told the Philippine News Agency on Monday that the plant hopper palay disease has left PHP2.9-million worth of damage to 233 hectares of farms in one city and six towns in the region.

RCPMC is under the Department of Agriculture-Regional Field Unit 2.

Aquino said they have started teaching farmers on the application of metarhizium, a bio-control agent, to brown plant hopper-affected palay farms in the region.

"We noted a hike of cases in the past weeks so we have been monitoring the affected areas. We advise farmers to immediately report infestation to control the situation," she said.

Aquino said the infested palay farms were recorded as follows: 178 hectares in Gamu, Burgos and Cauayan City, all in Isabela; 20 hectares in Villaverde, Kayapa and and Bagabag, all in Nueva Vizcaya; and 35 hectares in Baggao town in Cagayan.

Noting that the brown plant hoppers can lay 200 eggs in just one cycle, she said these bugs can destroy 50-100 percent of the palay crops if left unchecked.

"The situation of a changing season of rainy and sunny days has been favorable to the brown plant hoppers. Because of this, we noted the infestation for the first time after five years," Aquino said.

Rice straws can spread the brown plant hoppers, which conceal themselves on stalks, so she advised an immediate plowing of farms after harvests to kill and cover the pests underneath the earth. (PNA)
