Ganassi, Lanao del Sur (4 November) -- Residents of Ganassi in the province of Lanao del Sur will soon realize the dream of having their own potable water system as President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo announced a P20-million water system for the municipality. The President made the announcement during a regional media interview or RMI held here yesterday.
"Ganassi Mayor Baguio Macapodi asked for a P3-million water system but I wanted a modern water facility thus the P20-million allocation," the President said.
She noted that the beautiful and historic Lake Lanao is situated in Lanao del Sur yet few of its towns has potable water.
She said the water project was part of the comprehensive plan for addressing the water problem in Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao (ARMM).
The goal of the plan is to provide clean water in every waterless town, she stressed.
Of the 41 water districts implemented in ARMM, 7 are located in Lanao del Sur. Five (5) of these projects will be started anytime this month. These include the Masiu, Taraka, Madalum, Pualas, and Metro Basak water districts.
