    The document discusses liquid waste management in the Philippines. It notes that the Philippine Clean Water Act of 2004 aims to preserve water quality by mandating septic tanks or sewage connections for households. Septic tanks hold solid waste while liquid waste flows to treatment facilities to be cleaned before release. The largest such facility is Maynilad, which serves most of Luzon. There are four types of liquid waste - from residential, commercial, industrial areas and storm waters. Industrial waste and storm waters are the main problems, as industrial waste can harm the environment if improperly disposed, and storm waters spread contamination from land throughout waterways. The Pasig River is used as an example of how storm waters have contributed to ongoing water contamination.

    Liquid Waste Management

    Liquid Waste Management or more known as water waste management. To be honest,


    a law which is the “Philippine Clean Water Act” is already in motion towards making the water
    clean. “Philippine Clean Water Act” was signed in 2004, promoting the preservation of the
    country’s water. Under this law, households and other different areas are mandated to have
    septic tanks or be connected in a sewage. The septic tank will serve as repository of solid wastes,
    while the liquid waste flow to drainages and canals. These septic tanks should be cleaned
    periodically to remove septage accumulated over the years while on the other hand, the sewage
    network allows the flowing waste to facilities that treats the water back to its clean state before
    it’s released to the waterways.

    Well regarding the facilities that handles treating the water one of its main facilities is
    the Maynilad that covers most of the Luzon’s waterways. Maynilad offers a lot of services on
    septic tank cleaning that weren’t connected on any sewage networks and many more other
    services.

    Moving on, we have these 4 types of Liquid wastes:

    1. Liquid Wastes from residential areas


    2. Liquid Wastes from commercial areas
    3. Liquid Wastes from Industrial areas
    4. Storm waters

    The first 2 types are mostly dealt with and the main problems are the industrial liquid
    wastes and the storm waters.

    Well first the Industrial Liquid Waste, This could go in many forms. It might be harmful
    for our environmental ecosystem, materials from all this stuffs are usually not well disposed or
    spilled in lakes. But well of course all those kinds of industries with improper disposal systems
    are mostly illegal and the government is in charge of that.

    Next up the Storm Waters, well so far the storm waters is the most common of all
    especially here in the Philippines. They could spread throughout the open waterways, rivers,
    oceans, creaks, lake, etc and contaminate the water. Take the Pasig river as for the example:

    *insert sad Pasig River Picture*

    Well of course a lot of things were already done to motion up and clean this river but
    unfortunately it still ends up contaminated again of course because of the storm waters. Where
    does it come from anyways?

    Storm waters came from the upland in which where our so called “HUMAN” live or in
    shorter terms it’s where “we” live. We were the sources of these problems or not if you were a
    responsible citizen. It was our waste that caused this, the plastics that we used, things that were
    already insignificant for us, and just disposed of, I even saw recently when I was in manila, one
    person riding a jeepney just threw his/her trash on the road. Wow, no wonder it’s always
    flooding there in manila, no wonder why the Pasig River looks like that already, no wonders yep
    no wonders.

    So to start off and fix this waste management we should manage ourselves first. Let’s
    clean up solid wastes on land before starting off in the water.
