Site Visits of Mr. Adolfo Held to the Waterworks System Facilities

After Mr. Adolfo Held checked-in at the hotel on August 15, 2007, a short meeting was conducted with Engr. Christine A. Orbe, Manager of the Iligan City Waterworks System Office (ICWS), at the ICWS  Conference Room.  Engr. Orbe made a short presentation on the organizational structure of the Office and an overview of the existing water system in Iligan City.

On August 16, 2007, Mr. Held met Archt. Gil R. Balondo, City Planning and Development Coordinator (my boss) and had a short informal discussion.   Then Adolfo and I proceeded to ICWS Office to get ready for the scheduled site visit.  With us were Engr. Josephus Albao and Leelic Dacoco.    We visited the Ditucalan Spring water source, Camague Reservoir, Fuentes Clustering System, Hinaplanon Pumping Stations, and Luinab Reservoir.

Mr. Held said that the Ditucalan Spring source has still enough capacity to supply the existing water consumers.   The problem lies in the distribution.   It was also observed that the water treatment facility being used is already rusted.

Executive Session on Theory of Constraints

The Executive Session on the Introduction to Theory of Constraints held on August 22, 2007 was a half-day activity attended by the department heads, city officials, representatives from national agencies and academe. Vice Mayor Henry C. Dy attended the session but only for about 30 minutes as he has some other commitments. Councilors Anghay, Dalisay and Maglinao were also present but only Councilor Dalisay stayed till the end of the session. Councilors Larrazabal and Areola sent representatives. Of the 22 departments, 16 department heads attended the session. A complete list of the participants can be viewed here.

The topics discussed during the executive session was sort of a short version of the 2-day workshop since the time allotted was only for half day.

Below are some photos during the session.
