    The document discusses solid waste management challenges in the Philippines. It notes that 95% of wastewater from households flows directly into groundwater, canals, or drainage systems and eventually into rivers or other bodies of water, as most areas lack sewer systems. As a result, 58% of the country's groundwater intended for drinking is microbiologically contaminated. The document provides references to other sources that discuss municipal solid waste management in the Philippines and the results of a survey on knowledge, attitudes, and willingness to pay for sewerage and sanitation services in Metro Manila.

    According to the Philippines Environment Monitor 2006 report, it is estimated that 95% of wastewater
    flowing from households directly or via septic tanks is transported into groundwater, public canals or
    drainage systems, eventually entering rivers or other water bodies, especially in areas with no sewer
    systems. As a result, it is reported that up to 58% of the country’s groundwater intended for drinking is
    microbiologically contaminated with coliform.
