How to survive #WalangTubig

#WalangTubig? Now what? Let's take this almost 3-month challenge (6 to 20 hours of service water interruption daily) into opportunity!

• Clothes that are heavy consume more of your patience, effort, detergent, and of course water!
• Just think of it this way -- "Summer came early, you are a trendsetter!"

• Refill drinking water instead of using multiple small drinking glasses.
• Be strict on your diet. (Eat twice a day. 😋 Just kidding!)
• Use safe and easy to wash food containers instead of those plastic greasy containers.

• By using these instead of soap & water, you can stretch your water supply a little further.

• Don't deal with this alone! Plan with your family. Schedule & assign a member per day or week who will check the water supply, who will buy drinking water, and who will fetch and store water to the containers.
• Remember your responsibility, Taking short showers and once-a-day bath doesn't hurt. You can do it!

• When falling in line to fetch water, be more considerate and check your attitude especially when the water supplier and the government is so irritating. Patience is really needed here, don't let this bad situation get you and ruin your "cool" reputation.

• Remember your responsibility, Taking short showers and once-a-day bath doesn't hurt. You can do it!
• Consider yourself #blessed. Some communities in the Philippines have been experiencing water interruption for many years now. Some don't even have access to clean drinking water. More so, some families and children don't have access to clean drinking water because they are  in the middle of crisis/disaster. Imagine, it is really difficult but they are still surviving. 😢

At a time of immense global challenges – poverty, inequalities, natural disasters, humanitarian crises and forced displacement – the 2019 edition of World Water Day looks at why people have been left behind and how access to water and sanitation and sustainable water management can be drivers of change.

Water for all implies that also elderly, disabled, marginalized and poor people get access to clean drinking water and proper sanitation, as is meant with universal access in Sustainable Development Goals #6.1 and 6.2." - an excerpt from www.unwater.org/worldwaterday.
