Members of indigenous groups staged a rally today (January 31) in front of the Metropolitan Waterworks and Sewerage System (MWSS) office in Quezon City.
The groups called on the MWSS and the National Commission on Indigenous Peoples (NCIP) to scrap plans for the Kaliwa Dam, as well as two other major dam projects in Rizal province, due to alleged violation of the rights of the indigenous Dumagat tribes that inhabit the Kaliwa River watershed area.
