The ongoing water crisis in San Jose del Monte, Bulacan continues to raise serious concerns among residents, consumer advocates, and community organizations. Reports of prolonged water interruptions, limited supply, water quality issues, and infrastructure problems have fueled growing calls for accountability and immediate action.

In this discussion hosted by Ely Saludar, guests Martin Xavier D. Peñaflor of Tangere, Rodolfo “Ka RJ” Javellana Jr. of UFCC, Jonathan Chua, and Elena Urbino examine the impact of recurring water shortages on households, workers, students, and local communities.
