WATER AWARDEE IN MINDANAO. The Local Water Utilities Administration (LWUA) lauds the efforts of the Isabela City Water District (ICWD) in Basilan City to develop water facilities, not only in the mainland but also on nearby island communities, where population – along with the need for water – is steadily growing.  LWUA acting administrator Jeci A. Lapus (3^rd from left) stands beside ICWD general manager Aleli Almodovar with her daughter who received the Huwarang Lingkod-Tubig trophy during the World Water Day Awards held recently at Novotel in Quezon City.  Gracing the event was Cabinet Secretary Karlo Nograles (2^nd from left) along with Maynilad finance officer Ricardo De Los Reyes (extreme left) and NWRB executive director Sevillo David, Jr. (extreme right).
