On 26 April 2025, the MWSS Regulatory Office (RO), led by Chief Regulator Patrick Lester N. Ty, took part in Manila Water‘s 2025 Earth Day Fun Run. The event was held at La Mesa Ecopark in Quezon City, which was recently re-opened under the stewardship of Manila Water Foundation.
At the gathering, Chief Regulator Ty commended Manila Water for organizing the activity — an initiative that resonates with today’s renewed focus on physical wellness. He emphasized that running, a carbon-neutral activity, not only supports health and well-being but also provides a meaningful opportunity to reconnect with nature.
This year’s Earth Day theme, “Our Power, Our Planet,” serves as a timely reminder of our collective responsibility to care for our environment. Since water is greatly impacted by climate change, the MWSS RO enjoins everyone to protect and preserve our watersheds, manage our water resources sustainably, and use water responsibly and intelligently.
The MWSS RO will continue to implement projects that reflect our commitment to environmental stewardship and public service.
