THE European Chamber of Commerce of the Philippines (ECCP), in cooperation with Regus Philippines, will hold their first monthly business meeting on Sept. 23, with a forum on “Cebu Water Situation.”
It will be held at 2 p.m. at the Regus Philippines, 5th floor of Park Centrale Building in IT Park, Cebu City.
“A prediction by Japan International Cooperation Agency identified Metro Cebu along with other cities (Metro Manila, Baguio, Angeles and Davao) as among those to be worst hit by a severe water shortage by 2025,” Henry Schumacher, ECCP’s senior advocacy adviser, said on water scarcity. “Knowledge of this impending emergency prompted ECCP to make ‘water’ one of its advocacies.”
In ECCP’s drive to be part of the solution, “Cebu Water Situation” attempts to raise awareness on the current water supply and demand in Cebu and the challenges it is facing.
The forum also aims to answer questions, such as “What actual solutions are being undertaken?” and “How can we prevent this?” Other topics that will be tackled during the forum are water quality issues, distribution and service.
The forum has been organized in partnership with the Metro Cebu Water District. Seats are limited and reservations are on a first-come, first-served basis.
A minimal tariff of P500 for ECCP members and P700 for non-members is charged to cover cost.
For seat reservation or for more information, call ECCP Cebu at 253-3387 or 253-3389 and look for Christine Teves, or email christine.teves@eccp.com.
