Submitted to: Atty. Eden V. Barbacena
Reaction on Republic Act 9275 - Philippine Clean Water Act of 2004
The Republic Act 9275, also known as the Philippine Clean Water Act, is a significant
legislation that aims to protect and preserve the country's water resources. This paper will
provide a personal reaction to the importance and impact of this law.
I believe that the Philippine Clean Water Act, or RA 9275, is a crucial step towards
safeguarding our water resources. By addressing the issue of water pollution and ensuring the
availability of clean and safe water for all, this law plays a vital role in maintaining the health of
our ecosystems and protecting public health.
RA 9275 sets standards for wastewater discharges and promotes the use of environmentally
friendly technologies and practices. This is essential in preventing and controlling water
pollution from both point and non-point sources. By implementing these measures, we can
significantly reduce the negative impact of human activities on our water bodies.
One aspect of RA 9275 that I find particularly commendable is its emphasis on public
participation and awareness. Involving various stakeholders, such as local government units,
communities, and industries, in the formulation and implementation of water management
plans fosters a sense of shared responsibility. It encourages everyone to actively contribute to
the preservation of our water resources and promotes a culture of sustainable water use.
Moreover, RA 9275 recognizes the importance of education and information dissemination in
achieving its objectives. By promoting public awareness campaigns and educational programs,
the law seeks to empower individuals with knowledge about water conservation and pollution
prevention. This not only creates a more informed society but also encourages responsible
actions towards water resource management.
In conclusion, the Philippine Clean Water Act, Republic Act 9275, is a significant
legislative milestone in the protection and preservation of our water resources. By establishing
policies, setting standards, promoting public participation, and emphasizing education, this law
plays a crucial role in ensuring the availability of clean and safe water for present and future
generations. It is vital for individuals and organizations to comply with the provisions of this law
and work together to protect our water sources. Through collective efforts, we can create a
sustainable and healthier environment for all.
