While we are waiting for these, we are conducting parallel activities, in terms of construction, for Marawi.)Īt this point, Dela Rosa suggested to Padilla that they should personally ask Marcos to appoint a new LWUA chief. (All of our recommendations are already there, packaged, and just need approval or to be acted on.
Habang inaantay po namin yun, nagpa-parallel activities po kami dito, in terms of construction na activities para sa Marawi," she added. Lahat naman po ng recommendation, nandoon na na-package na po namin ia-approve na lang po or aaksyunan na lang po. We have to submit 'yung lahat po as to releases and project implementation, sa board po namin. (We have some recommendations that are up for approval of our board, but we cannot act on them yet as we do not have a full-fledged administrator.)
"Mayroon po kasi kaming mga recommendation na up for approval ng aming board pero sa ngayon po medyo hindi po nila maaksyunan because wala nga po kaming full-fledged administrator," Dela Vega said at the Senate finance committee hearing on LWUA's proposed P16-million budget for 2023. The lawmakers came up with the idea after LWUA Officer-in-Charge Eileen dela Vega informed the Senate finance committee that their hands are tied on the implementation of several projects for Marawi City as Marcos has not appointed a new administrator yet. Chairman, Your Honors.Senators Ronald Dela Rosa and Robin Padilla said they will ask President Bongbong Marcos to name an administrator for the Local Water Utilities Administration (LWUA), after the agency's officer-in-charge said that its recommendations for water system project in Marawi City's Most Affected Area (MAA) are ready but cannot be acted upon without an administrator. The General also informed the visiting Senate panel that they are “now awaiting the authority of the Office of the Solicitor General” (OSG) for the expropriation cases since not all the lands to be made part of the camp are expropriated.īrawner added: “I understand we already have a letter from the OSG giving us that authority, so kahit na hindi pa po nabayaran iyong ibang mga may-ari ng lupa, we can go on already with the construction, Mr. And also, agreement between the Philippine Army, LWUA and the Water District of Marawi City, Your Honors.” In turn, Brawner informed the committee: “We will now move on with the survey and with the construction. Hindi na tayo makarinig ng problema diyan na sabihin na bumagal dahil ganito, ganoon, ganoon ,” Dela Rosa said. With the conflict already settled, as well as with the appointment of Revil, there is a need now to have a tripartite agreement between LWUA, PA, and the local water district of Marawi City with a possible lease agreement that gives the army a 25 percent discount.

It will be recalled that during their similar meeting in September 2022, the panel noted that the bulk water project could not proceed because of some misunderstandings between LWUA and the PA, including the Army’s demand for free water supply to the camp and the lack of an administrator of LWUA. Revil, LWUA’s newly-appointed administrator, reported to the Dela Rosa-led committee at last Wednesday’s hearing.īrawner, commanding general of the PA, said the water tank will be placed at the highest peak of the army camp in Barangay Kapantaran or the old city hall, which will house a battalion, while the LWUA water treatment facility will be constructed at the lower area of the camp. “I just talked with our very supportive General Romeo Brawner, who is here with us…he will be allowing now the final moving on of the project within the Philippine Army camp because that is where our bulk system, our bulk water project is,” Atty. This developed as the Local Water Utilities Administration (LWUA) and the Philippine Army (PA), two of the implementing agencies of the water project, have broken their impasse, paving the way for the fast-tracking of the project. Ronald “Bato” Dela Rosa, chairman of the Senate Special Committee on Marawi City Rehabilitation and Victims Compensation, said at the weekend he expected much faster implementation of the bulk water project component of the Marawi City rehabilitation program.
