MANILA, Philippines — President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.'s plan to collect rainwater in Metro Manila and use it for irrigation of farmlands has earned support from a lawmaker who advocates for the same, noting that it would unburden Angat Dam. Makati 2nd District Rep. Luis Campos Jr. said in a statement that if the government can establish a large rainwater collection facility, then Angat Dam can be used solely for providing water to Metro Manila — instead of the current setup where the dam also supplies farms in Central Luzon with water for irrigation.
