This prompted the House Committee on Metro Manila Development to endorse the immediate passage of a bill seeking to enhance the effectiveness of the MMDA granting it the power to adopt and enforce ordinances for Metro Manila.
Chaired by Manila Rep. Manuel Luis T. Lopez, the House panel approved House Bill 8770 filed by Marikina City Rep. Bayani Fernando.

Executive Director Sevillo David Jr. of the National Water Resouces Board told lawmakers on Wednesday that Angat Dam, main source of water in Metro Manila, Bulacan, Rizal, Laguna and Cavite, has enough water for drinking, irrigation and power during the dry season that officially starts in less than two weeks.
“May sapat na water supply mula sa Angat dam. May projection ang PAGASA (state weather agency) na maigsi ang dry season at makababalik agad sa normal ang dam pagdating ng ulan, (Angat dam has enough water supply. PAGASA made a project that the dry season will be short and dam will go back to normal as soon as rains come in),” said Sevillo who appeared before a hearing Wednesday by the House Committee on Metro Manila Development.
