Sec Loyzaga: Invest in rainwater collection


DENR, SM Prime calls on cities to innovate and invest in water-saving technologies to avert water crisis




At the multi-stakeholder forum, “Towards a Greener Footprint”, in Iloilo City recently, Environment Secretary Maria Antonia Yulo-Loyzaga shared solutions-focused guidelines to help the local government reduce carbon footprint, with emphasis on water conservation to address the looming water crisis and increase access to safe water and sanitation.

The Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) and SM Prime Holdings, Inc. (SM Prime), one of the leading real estate developers in Southeast Asia, recently called on local public officials to avoid the extraction of groundwater and, instead, invest in rainwater collection for recycling and impoundment, as well as explore new technologies such as modular desalination and modular sewage treatment plants, to manage the effects of climate change on the country’s water resources.


At the multi-stakeholder forum, “Towards a Greener Footprint”, in Iloilo City recently, Environment Secretary Maria Antonia Yulo-Loyzaga shared solutions-focused guidelines to help the local government reduce carbon footprint, with emphasis on water conservation to address the looming water crisis and increase access to safe water and sanitation. 


“We need to invest in the appropriate engineering and infrastructure to deliver water from the source,” Secretary Loyzaga said. “We must avoid, if not reduce drastically, the extraction of groundwater which in low-lying coastal areas causes subsidence and increases flooding.”


 “Rainwater catchments will not only provide additional supply for household use but will also help ensure the availability of surface water through the maintenance of watershed cover when impounded,” Secretary Loyzaga said.


Based on the latest report of the Philippine Statistics Authority, water abstracted for own use increased from 215.2 billion cubic meters (bcm) in 2020 to 217.8 bcm in 2021 countrywide. From 2010 to 2021, the largest amount of self-abstracted water is for the power sector (58.7%). This was followed by agriculture (33.5%); mining and quarrying, manufacturing, and construction (5.3%); and services sector and households (2.6%). 


Earlier this month, the DENR said the country still has enough water supply, but proper management is needed to prevent a possible water crisis by the end of the year. 


The call was met with a resounding response from the private sector, particularly, SM Prime.  In the same forum, SM Supermalls Vice President for Corporate Compliance Engr. Liza B. Silerio shared how  SM Prime has stepped up the sustainability programs that it has been doing since SM Supermalls started recycling water in the 1990s.


From rainwater catchment to help deter flooding in communities where its malls are located, SM Prime also pioneered the mall-based rainwater filtration system that converts the collected rainwater to be potable enough for washing, cleaning and even drinking. Launched at SM City Baguio, the facility will supply mall tenants with enough potable water to help reduce sourcing from the communities’ water table.


“As an integrated property developer, we have seen the first-hand effects of natural hazards that are caused by the change in weather patterns in the Philippines,” Engr. Silerio explained. “El Nino and La Nina are two phenomena resulting from climate change. Our country ranks number one in the World Risk Index 2022 report as the most vulnerable among 193 nations.”


Faced with this challenge, Engr. Silerio shared that SM Prime will continue to find innovative ways to address the climate challenges. “We continue to evolve and adapt technology to improve our resource consumption as part of our climate action,” she concluded. (ENDS)


WHAT BECOMES OF THE BUSINESS-MINDED? NINE REASONS WHY STUDYING IN MAPÚA MALAYAN COLLEGES LAGUNA IS JUST WHAT YOU NEED

 


Picture this scenario: you’ve finished college applications and entrance exams, and now everyone is anticipating admission decisions. Between trying to decide which course to take and having parents and cousins sharing stories of why college is the best time of anyone’s life, it does get overwhelming. Then there’s the family ‘business’ – doctors, lawyers, nurses – to consider. Or the literal family business. This means picking the right college with the best business program is the next quandary.

Just South of Greater Manila is Mapúa Malayan Colleges Laguna (Mapúa MCL). Every student who walks through their doors is given the chance to explore their full potential. They take pride in new business program offerings, enhanced by its collaboration with one of the world’s top-ranked innovative colleges, Arizona State University (ASU).

Arizona State University (ASU) has been ranked the no. 1 most innovative university in the U.S. ahead of MIT and Stanford for 8 consecutive years by U.S. News & World Report. ASU is among the top 1% of universities worldwide, ranked by the Center for World University Ranking 2022-2023, and among the top 150 universities worldwide by the Shanghai Ranking, 2022. The groundbreaking collaboration between Mapúa schools and Arizona State University focused on Business and Health Sciences programs. 

 

 


Students now have access to an immersive internationalized education, interacting with faculty and students from all over the world. Mapúa MCL transforms the collegiate experience by combining theoretical studies with real-world case scenarios, setting their graduates up for future success.

 

 

 Need more reasons why Mapúa MCL is cool for school? No spoilers here, so do read on.

  1. Mapúa MCL’s business programs are built on the legacy of its mother institution, Mapúa University, which has been recognized as among the top four universities in the country. Imagine joining the workforce with a world-class education in your back pocket.
  2. The groundbreaking partnership with Arizona State University! IYKYK! It’s pretty cool that Mapúa MCL students have courses enhanced by ASU curriculum while continuing to pay a local tuition fee. Plus, they get a chance to join student exchange programs in the U.S. and other parts of the world. 
  3. Hybrid learning is the way to go! The state-of-the-art Mapúa MCL-ASU Global Classroom delivers synchronous classes led by renowned faculty and industry leaders from ASU and other partner international universities. This fosters cultural diversity and encourages collaborative learning. Students also get a holistic and globalized view of the rapidly shifting business landscape.

 

  1. Students get the opportunity to join the ASU-Cintana Summer Experience. Students like Business Administration major Kiel Enrique Domingo get to spend two weeks in an educational yet fun immersion on-site at Arizona State University. Check out interactive workshops, inspirational lectures, and all kinds of activities - focused on building sustainable and innovative solutions for the world’s toughest challenges - while making new friends and having lots of fun.

 

  1. Learn from the best beyond the textbook! Masterclasses are delivered by top business leaders such as Mr. Bong Consing (President and CEO of Ayala Corp). Mapúa MCL leverages on the expertise of these pillars of the business community alongside that of its rockstar faculty members. Students benefit from a theoretical foundation for their studies and real-world scenarios through various symposia led by C-Level executives.

 

  1. Now let’s talk about the university's vast network of industry connections - among the country’s top corporations – leveraging Yuchengco Group of Companies and Ayala Corp! This underscores the relevance and practicality of the business program offerings, as these connections give students an edge when it’s time for internships and job placement.

 

  1. Up the anté on graduate employability stats via microcredentials offerings. Mapúa MCL students can pick through several short courses and studies that give them soft skills and practical knowledge to complement their collegiate studies. It’s almost like a 1-2 punch in jumping ahead of the application game.

 

  1. Mapúa MCL has always prided itself on being a safe space for the students as they journey through the learning curve that is their college years. Non-academic activities allow the kids to explore their passions while sharpening their skills and talents. Being in a university that champions excellence at every step is the key to success!

 

 

  1. If there is a clear example of the positive impact Mapúa MCL education can bring, it is the success of their alumni. Mark Earl Angelo Antonio once walked their halls, completing a Bachelor’s Degree in Accountancy. He subsequently completed his graduate studies overseas. He now works as a Senior Consultant at Ernst & Young UK & Ireland, doing his part in transforming the industry he is working in. Their experience at Mapúa MCL became a defining moment as they embarked on their careers.

A solid education is so essential in this highly competitive space that young people find themselves in. Being able to study in an institution like Mapúa Malayan Colleges Laguna sets graduates of its Business Programs apart from the madding crowd. Having a globalized and internationalized perspective on a constantly shifting industry landscape delivers that competitive edge for future careers. This is the goal set by Mapúa MCL, and their vision is to keep pushing the country’s next generation of business leaders.

When Health Goes the Extra Mile, Education Can Thrive

 


Education is a child's strongest foundation. It builds their character, knowledge, and their overall holistic development. However, education continues to be a privilege for some.

 

According to the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), only half of the children ranging from 3 to 4 years old are enrolled in daycare and only 78 percent complete primary education. Besides not having enough financial resources to support a child's education, one reason that causes this is that some children who live in far-flung areas have poor facilities and infrastructure to sustain one.

 

This is the current situation in Silad, a remote island in Palawan, wherein over 100 children cannot even complete their basic education. These students need better learning spaces that give them an equal opportunity to learn, grow, and fulfill their potential, which Santé, a premier natural health and wellness product and service providerrecognizes. As part of their commitment to helping people live better lives, they made health go the extra mile so education can thrive.

 

The journey towards rebuilding education and hope. The initiative all started with Pastor Philip Le Roux, a member of the Santé Barley Tri-Team. As a missionary, he helped the small island with different initiatives and projects and improved their living conditions and welfare through the years. However, it has long been a desire of his to see Silad Elementary School get fixed to serve the community. 

 

"The growing number of families in Silad means more children are not getting access to adequate education. The Silad Elementary School is only made up of bamboo and old wood, which cannot withstand a typhoon-prone area. In fact, every time a small typhoon hits the area, the school has to be rebuilt," Philip shared.

 

The buildings are overcrowded and unsafe, and different grades share one classroom. Their school is falling apart, pushing the children not to continue their studies.

 

"I knew I had to do something, but even I can only do so much. That is when I reached out to Santé and Joey Marcelo himself because I know it is part of their mission to help Filipinos live better lives," Philip added. 

 

Going the extra mile with Santé Daily C. When Joey Marcelo, chief executive officer of Santé, heard about the unfortunate condition of Silad, he knew he had to help. "Like what Philip mentioned, it is part of our mission to help people live better lives, and this project is an opportunity for the Santé family to create and start change," Marcelo reiterated.

 

For Santé, their situation is a story of hope. They wanted to be part of the reason why these students could continue their dreams. And this is where the "Go the Extra Mile with Santé Daily-C 750mg” started.

 

"Santé takes pride in its line of products, but we chose to do this with our Santé Daily-C 750mg that provides additional Vitamin C. Its extra protection mirrors what we aim to show in this campaign, which is how we can go above and beyond on helping and sharing to less fortunate people," Marcelo shared. 

 

A portion of the sales made between June 15 to July 15 of the Santé Daily-C 750mg will be donated to Silad Elementary School to help replace the roof with corrugated iron and the walls with cement and other durable materials that can withstand typhoons.

 

"Beyond making Filipinos healthier, I am glad Santé can help nurture the kids of tomorrow. Without them, these kids will probably never have the chance to get a proper and conducive education—one that they deserve. The children of Silad, and everyone in the world, deserve to live more and do more," Marcelo added.

 

Santé is one of the leading global manufacturers of products with organic barley grass (certified organic by BioGro) grown and harvested from New Zealand. With its mission to help people live better lives, the company promotes, produces, and distributes premier natural health and wellness products and services. Santé reminds everyone only to buy Santé products from legitimate business owners and resellers and report counterfeits.
