"We thank the President for renewing his commitment to establishing a department dedicated to water resource management, and we will continue to work closely with his administration so he can fully deliver on his commitment," added Herrera, who is a deputy minority leader in the House of Representatives.
Over the weekend, Herrera expressed hope the President will make another pitch for the DWR during his second SONA, saying its creation had never been more important and urgent amid a growing water crisis. Herrera filed in July 2022 House Bill No.1013, which seeks to create DWR; and HB No.1014, which aims to establish Water Regulatory Commission . She said the latter agency would be in charge of regulating water services in the country.
