Senator Grace Poe on Tuesday said she was committed to passing the proposed bill for the creation of the Department of Water Resources before the 19th Congress adjourns.Poe, chairperson of the Senate Public Services Committee, said the creation of the proposed agency was “crucial” as the country’s supply issues were anchored on the lack of proper management of water resources. “I would like to set our goals properly.

For its part, the Department of Environment and Natural Resources Water Resources Management Office said President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. directed the agency to fast-track the creation of a “water authority whatever form it may be”. “He stressed that it is about time the functions of different agencies, should be in a way consolidated, if not streamlined,” said DENR-WRMO chief Carlos David.
