Date of release: March 24, 2025 - Maynilad employee-volunteers and Muntinlupa City river rangers work together to remove trash from Magdaong River, collecting 172 sacks—or approximately 1,366 kilograms—of waste, including plastics, wood, and other pollutants. This cleanup is part of Maynilad’s World Water Day 2025 initiatives, which also include educational programs and the World Water Day Awards, all aimed at promoting water conservation and environmental sustainability.
In celebration of World Water Day 2025, Maynilad Water Services, Inc. (Maynilad) launched a series of activities—including cleanup drives, community outreach programs, and an awards ceremony—to promote water conservation and environmental protection.
Kicking off these efforts, Maynilad employee-volunteers, together with the Muntinlupa City government, local river rangers, and a media organization, collected 172 sacks (approximately 1,366 kilograms) of garbage during a cleanup of Magdaong River. This river feeds into Laguna Lake, a vital raw water source for Maynilad’s southern customers.
Moreover, Maynilad conducted another cleanup at Julian River in Imus, Cavite, reinforcing pollution prevention measures for Manila Bay. It has also launched the WASH UP program in Muntinlupa City, featuring medical missions to improve community health and hygiene, alongside “Daloy Dunong”, an educational initiative on sanitation, hygiene, and waste management.
The company is also set to roll out Bigkis-Tubig, a program focused on conserving, protecting, managing and rehabilitating local water resources through community engagement and sustainable practices.
A highlight of the month-long celebration is the World Water Day Awards, where Maynilad—in partnership with the National Water Resources Board (NWRB), the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), and seven other water and environment agencies—honored individuals, institutions, and programs championing water security and environmental sustainability.
“Environmental protection is a responsibility we take seriously. Through these initiatives, we engage the public in safeguarding water resources and ensuring a sustainable future for all,” said Maynilad Chief Sustainability Officer Atty. Roel S. Espiritu.
Maynilad remains committed to protecting vital water resources while encouraging communities to take an active role in environmental stewardship.
Maynilad is the largest private water concessionaire of Metropolitan Waterworks and Sewerage System (MWSS) in the Philippines in terms of customer base. Its service area includes the cities of Manila (all but portions of San Andres and Sta.
