Subic, Zambales – A new water tanker was formally turned over to the Local Government Unit of Subic on May 16, 2026 as part of emergency measures to address the ongoing water crisis affecting several barangays in the municipality.
The water tanker was donated by Congressman Zambales First District Congressman Jay Khonghun to support water rationing operations for residents experiencing shortages due to the reported poor and unreliable service of PrimeWater.
According to Congressman Khonghun, no government funds were used in the purchase of the water truck, emphasizing that the donation was made through private means to provide immediate relief to affected communities.
