President Peter, First Ann Pam Manzano, together with the presidents of RC Paranaque Metro and a few other clubs in District 3830, drove northwest of the metro last Saturday, February 6, for a meeting with their local partner Task Force Morong to assess the needs of the community on a joint water project in Morong, Bataan.
The project, a joint undertaking with the Rotary Club of Paranaque Metro, wi th support from a number of other clubs, calls for the construction of a water impounding structure in Barangay Binaritan to supply the residents of the Morong Upland Homeowners Association with water for their household and farming needs. Directly benefiting from the project are 200 families residing in the area.
The impounding facility, located about a kilometre from the community it is to serve, is designed to hold up to 12,000 US gallons of water, which will be sourced from a river watershed. The funding requirement of P100,000, which covers cost of 01 materials such as cement, gravel and sand, rebars and pvc pipes, is shared by the clubs, with P50K provided by RC Makati and the balance of P50K put up by the other clubs.
The cost of labor is not factored in because the Morong Task Force Kalikasan has been tasked to contribute sweat equity, with members to work on the project the bayanihan way. The project is scheduled for completion in three months.
