Some of the subjects that were featured in the exhibit are Manila Water’s facilities, highlighting the company’s innovative technology, its partners and stakeholders, and the company’s flagship program “Tubig Para Sa Barangay” which was established to provide sustainable water to marginalized communities across the East Zone concession.

The images also depict the company’s core values of care, collaborations, excellence, tenacity, pioneering, and integrity, which serve as the company’s compass in doing business.

“We are unveiling a photo exhibit, 25 pictures cataloging 25 years, not chronologically, but through the values that we share in Manila Water. These photographs, hopefully, immortalize some of the very core values that we have as a Manila Water team together with our partners and collaborators,” says De Dios.

“Looking at some of the pictures, what really resonated with me are the ones with tenacity because tenacity denotes the struggle and the triumph that we gained from the struggles as a utility together with our partners for 25 years. I guess it gives us hope that we are looking toward 25 years of great success. Through the eyes of renowned photographers Scott Woodward and Paul Quiambao, outdoor photographers, hopefully we’re able to convey the emotions that have carried us through these 25 years, and hopefully more than that, the emotions that will propel us further in the next 25 years,” he added.
