Lea,You see laziness where I see the opposite. The good thing is we all want clean water and environment. The UN Population said the Philippines had made strides in health, education, and thus a 27 years improvement in the life expectancy since pre-refrigeration days. Increased activities lead to increased unabated population growth which led to dense cities and towns. Leading to the poor urban conditions, due to should we agree poor planning of the officials who haven’t started checking the house since 1940? If we discount the relation of poverty to water borne disease then we might be remiss in the studies done on the subject. Ms. Ric was on track on the studies of life expectancy and you are also right of the need to act because the power of government to move people by influence is a good first step. There are just some people that could move people like Eric Lachica of the ACFV. If you need info on him, type his name in the search engine and you’ll read his success in having the 109th senate pass a bill last week for our Filipino Veterans. Surely we have leaders that could use these types during times of very limited resources.
