(Image from his FB page) MANILA, Philippines – A bill has been filed before the Bangsamoro Parliament requiring the construction of reservoirs in all infrastructure projects in Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM). The measure is titled ‘Bangsamoro Rainwater Harvesting Facility Act of 2023' authored by Member of the Parliament Amilbahar Mawallil. Mawallil said it aims to provide irrigation to farmlands, especially during summer. 'The region faces many challenges relating to water scarcity and accessibility due to its reliance on rain-fed agriculture that has been impaired by erratic rainfall patterns and climate change impacts,' he said.
