Abstract
This project aims to provide access to
water services through individual household connections to
several low-income communities in Rizal province (Antipolo
City, Baras, Rodriguez, and San Mateo) and Taguig city in
the Manila Metropolitan region through collaboration with
the concessionaire for Manila's east zone, the Manila
Water Company (MWC). The GPOBA intervention supports Manila
Water's flagship program, launched in 1998, the
'Water for the Community' or Tubig Para sa
Barangay (TPSB) program, which provides a regular supply of
clean, safe, and affordable drinking water to the urban
poor. The scheme builds on the successful track record of
the TPSB program and seeks to speed up rollout of individual
connections to poor households through one-time subsidies to
cover the cost of the connection fee.
