agencies and offices such as the provision of basic services and facilities including water supply
systems;
WHEREAS, the national government had been forging efforts for the rehabilitation of
degraded watersheds and protection of those that are still in good condition. And, this local
government, by virtue of its devolved functions, seeks to address in the local level the protection
and promotion of as well as the prevention of destruction of watersheds;

achieving such an end goal, such as that of entering into a Memorandum of Agreement with the
