Worsening water crisis spurs rationing efforts by private firms in Bacolod, Iloilo 

BACOLOD, Philippines – The situation has become dire, prompting private companies to step in and provide potable water to villages in Bacolod and Iloilo, where temperatures are rising and water scarcity is worsening.
