With summer almost here, the government has assured the water supply is enough for the year. Panelo said Cimatu inspected Angat Dam, which supplies more than 97 percent of Metro Manila’s water supply. Duterte blamed officials of the Metropolitan Waterworks and Sewerage System and the two water concessionaires for the water shortage, claiming they knew about the problem, but did nothing to prevent it. Panelo also mentioned that the China-funded Kaliwa Dam project was scheduled to break ground by July or August this year. Kaliwa Dam is designed to augment Metro Manila’s water supply.
