Various groups opposing the dam project say there are viable alternatives to end Metro Manila's water shortage

TINIPAK RIVER. This sacred area and favorite swimming area for tourists will be wiped out and the Kaliwa Watershed Forest Reserve will be destroyed by the Kaliwa Dam project. Photo courtesy of Laurie Mae Gucilatar.in Quezon and Rizal provinces opposed to the proposed construction of the Kaliwa Dam said President Rodrigo Duterte was either"misinformed or misinforming the public."

Duterte is intransigent on the issue because of his determination to end Metro Manila's water shortage.et me be very clear to the citizens. You have every right to protest if it places your lives in jeopardy, but if the safeguards are there between your concerns and the crisis that you're trying to avoid, I will use the extraordinary powers of the presidency," he said.

“There are practical, alternative water solutions available which are less costly and much less damaging to the environment [and the locals depending on it for their homes, livelihood, and culture] such as drawing more water from Laguna Lake; fast-tracking the rehabilitation of the Wawa Dam; tapping idle supply from the National Irrigation Administration’s facilities; and curbing wasteful water use. Combined, these can provide the same or even more water than the planned Kaliwa Dam," Fr.

Based on the track record of this president, more on “misinforming” rather than “misinformed.”
