Brgy. Molobolo’s path to clean water: A community-managed initiative against scarcity

Tweet

Water collection was both a household concern and a shared community responsibility in Brgy. Molobolo in the Municipality of Cauayan, Negros Occidental. Parents and children needed to walk thirty minutes and wait at least two hours to fill their water containers from a water source in their barangay, which would not always cover all their daily water needs.

This water issue forced residents to conserve water whenever possible, but even that was not always sufficient. Water was a daily struggle, and each night, they went to bed hoping they could find enough for the next day.

This was the reality for Brgy. Molobolo residents until 2021, when the Alternative Indigenous Development Foundation, Inc. (AIDFI) implemented a clean water access project with a financial grant from The Coca-Cola Foundation (TCCF).

How water started flowing in Brgy. Molobolo

For Brgy. Molobolo, AIDFI used a gravity-fed water system to bring water closer to residents. The project connected a pipeline from the elevated water source, allowing the water to flow down to shared tapstands within the community and helping eliminate the need for a half-hour walk and two-hour wait at the stream. Additionally, water filters are provided to households to block debris and prevent bacteria from passing through.

Access to water has brought comfort to the residents. No longer burdened by the physically demanding task of water collection, they can enjoy the safety and security of having water at their doorstep.

The availability of safe water has also positively impacted community programs, including feeding programs that improve residents' health and nutrition. Convenient access to safe water reduces the health risks associated with collecting and consuming water from distant and potentially contaminated sources. This improvement in water accessibility has enhanced their quality of life and fostered a sense of community well-being and progress.

“Ngayon, sa bahay na lang kami naghihintay. May schedule pero sufficient talaga yung tubig. Hindi na kami mahirapan na [pumila] at pumunta sa malayo para mag-igib [ng tubig],” Myren Edoria, a resident of Brgy. Molobolo, said. (Now, we only wait in our home. There is a schedule, but this time the supply of water is sufficient. We don’t need to fall in line and go to faraway places just to collect water.)

From project beneficiaries to water stewards

The barangay captain of Brgy. Molobolo has advocated for their community to gain access to safe water. His dedication to securing water access and security for the community led him to apply for the Agos Project with TCCF and AIDFI in the first place. This initiative, aligning with the community's urgent need for clean water, garnered immediate and enthusiastic support from the residents.

Inspired by their barangay captain's leadership, the residents have transformed that passion into proactive stewardship, taking responsibility for protecting and managing their water resources to ensure the sustainability of the project's benefits for future generations.

They formed an association and created a schedule system for everyone in the barangay to access clean water. They also coordinate with local partners to test and ensure the water's safety. To secure their water source, they implement policies protecting it from potential threats.

Clean and safe water for future generations

As the primary philanthropic arm of The Coca-Cola Company, The Coca-Cola Foundation aims to support local and global changemakers leaving a measurable and lasting impact in areas around the world by investing in transformative ideas and institutions that address some of the most pressing global challenges.

The ‘Tough as Steel’ realme Note 60 proves its durability - now available for as low as P4,999

Tweet

The beloved realme Note Series is back with a brand new addition: the realme Note 60, poised to set new benchmarks as one of the most affordable and durable phones on the market, priced at just P4,999 for its base variant.

--------------------------------------------------------

The newest release under the realme Note Series is one of the most durable entry-level phones 

in the market

--------------------------------------------------------

realme Note Series

The series first debuted in January this year with the realme Note 50, which broke records as the fastest-selling smartphone on TikTok Shop, with 4,000 units sold within minutes of its release. Thanks to the realme Note 50’s stellar performance, it was hailed as TikTok's biggest 1-Day Sale of the Month in January, totaling P28.9 million in sales.

The realme Note 50 made waves due to its impressive specs for an entry-level phone, priced at just P3,999 for the base 4GB+64GB variant. GizGuide called it “one of the best entry-level phones with key features like a 90Hz screen, a long-lasting 5000mAh battery, and a good-performing main rear camera,” while PhilSTAR Tech’s Ed Geronia Jr. remarked, “No phone under P4,000 should feel and work this well. But it seems realme has done a spectacular job at making it a reality.”

The official realme Community also raved about the realme Note 50, praising it as the best bang-for-buck phone. "I know the realme Note 50 is not meant as a gaming phone, but for a budget device, it's good to know it can handle [Call of Duty Mobile]—I didn’t expect it to perform this well," shared Squad Leader Milky De Guzman Valderama.

Tough as Steel

Now, the series has evolved with the introduction of the realme Note 60, which maintains an affordable price and features specs that make it "Tough as Steel." This new model boasts exceptional resistance to scratches, drops, and bends.

The realme team subjected the realme Note 60 to a series of unique tests to demonstrate its durability. To see how it performed under pressure, stay tuned for the strength test videos, soon to be posted on the official realme Facebook page.

In a creative take on the popular Filipino street game Tumbang Preso, the traditional slipper was replaced with the realme Note 60. Even after being knocked around, the phone endured minimal scrapes. 

The realme Note 60 was also tested in a rage room by throwing and smashing it against various surfaces. In another test, the phone replaced a traditional air hockey mallet. It handled every impact with remarkable resilience in both scenarios, showing no signs of surface damage.

Taking it a step further, the phone was used as a makeshift chopping board for vegetables during a knife scratch test, followed by a classic drop test from a height of 1.5 meters and came out completely unscathed.

Despite these extreme challenges, the realme Note 60 passed with flying colors, showcasing impressive resistance to scratches, bends, and drops.

Additionally, it features an IP64 rating for dust and water resistance and holds a TÜV Rheinland High-Reliability Certification. Altogether, the realme Note 60 is a powerhouse of durability, ready for any adventure.

The realme Note 60 is available in two striking colors—Voyage Blue and Marble Black—and comes in two storage variants: 4GB+64GB for P4,999 and 4GB+128GB for P5,999.

First selling promos

The realme Note 60 has already proven to be ‘Tough as Steel,’ but realme is taking durability a step further. Customers who purchase the device at realme Stores or authorized dealers from today until October 31 will receive a complimentary realme Care+ warranty, which includes an additional 1-year warranty extension worth P999, bringing the total coverage period to 2 years.

At the same time, customers can get the 4GB+128GB variant for P500 off from September 20 to October 6 in all authorized stores nationwide.
