UPOU Supports La Mesa Watershed Movement
The UPOU supports the campaign asking the government to declare the La Mesa Watershed a Protected Area. The campaign, spearheaded by the La Mesa Watershed Movement, opposes the privatization and conversion of the 59-hectare portion of the La Mesa Reservoir to a housing project. This is to ensure the integrity of Metro Manila’s water supply. The movement also calls on the government to exhaust all means to find a solution to the rights of the awardees/claimants of the 59-hectare land.
UP Open University urges its alumni and students to visit the movement’s website at www.lamesaecopark.com and sign/join the signature campaign online. (Luisa A. Gelisan, OC)
