MANILA, Philippines — If correct policies are in place and being implemented, the water crisis in the Philippines is 'avoidable,' Senator Grace Poe said Monday. Poe, the head of the Senate Committee on public services, said while the looming El Niño is a 'predictable' phenomenon, Filipinos still experience water shortages, especially during the dry season. 'The water crisis hounding Filipinos is avoidable if the correct policies are in place and are being implemented,' she said in a statement. 'The coming of El Nino is a predictable phenomenon, which should have kept water authorities and concessionaires on their toes to prepare for contingency measures,' Poe added.
