Economics

The documentary focuses on water scarcity in Masbate, where residents dig wells by hand to access dirty and sometimes salt water due to a lack of permanent water sources. Locals drink and use this contaminated water despite health risks like diarrhea. Proposed solutions include improving sanitation to address pollution and monitoring water quality, as well as upgrading sewage systems. As president, budgeting for improved water infrastructure could help through conservation, desalination, and smart irrigation. Ordinary citizens could donate to clean water initiatives around the world.

The documentary is all about water scarcity in Masbate. They don’t have permanent
water sources that is why the people featured in the said documentary was digging up
wells with their bare hands to get some water from the Earth. The water that comes from
the well is dirty, and sometimes, a salt water that is why the residents there is often

looking to bring clean water to areas that don’t have it. Donating time, skills, and
