29 B. BUSINESS OF THE DAY

30 1) Status of MMWD Projects at WTP, Pinamalatican, Mobo – The BOD visited the site and conducted an
31 ocular inspection. With the upcoming Soft Opening Celebration, the body noted the following:

33 A) Hardworking MMWD Field/ Labor Workers – The BOD members noticed the hard work exerted by the
34 MMWD Workers in preparing for the upcoming Soft Opening event. MMWD is expected to receive 200
35 guests so all employees are enjoined to work at the Water Treatment Plant to prepare the site in time
36 for the event. MMWD is expected to receive 200 guests. With the frequent raining and unpredicted
37 weather condition, transporting table and chairs and other materials for the event is a challenge. Filling
38 of gravel to neutralize the muddy soil requires a lot of worker’s energy and effort too. With that the BOD
39 requested Management to give incentives to all workers particularly those who rendered extra effort
40 and time before and during the event. Management on the other hand said that JOs are not allowed to
41 receive bonuses or incentives.
42
43 B) River Embankment Protection Project – The BOD also noted that the riprapping works are still on
44 going. The management reported that the river embankment protection project was delayed due to
45 frequent swelling of Bañadero River that consequently affected the transportation of backfilling and
46 construction materials to the worksite.
47
48 2) Soft Opening Program – The GM informed the BOD regarding the details of the Soft Opening Program.
49 After the Benediction Ceremony, a short program will follow and the GM suggested that the Chairperson,
50 Dir. Daep will do the welcoming and the BOD Vice-Chairman, Dir. Legaspi will do the closing remark. The
51 BOD approved the suggestion of the management.
52
53 3) Other Matters – the GM informed the other members of the BOD regarding his Official Travel to LWUA with
54 Dir. Legaspi and Ms. Viterbo. The purpose of said travel is to meet LWUA executives and talk about the
55 other requirements of the Loan as well as to follow-up the BODs appointment.
