Brgy. Molobolo’s path to clean water: A community-managed initiative against scarcity

Water collection was both a household concern and a shared community responsibility in Brgy. Molobolo in the Municipality of Cauayan, Negros Occidental. Parents and children needed to walk thirty minutes and wait at least two hours to fill their water containers from a water source in their barangay, which would not always cover all their daily water needs.

This water issue forced residents to conserve water whenever possible, but even that was not always sufficient. Water was a daily struggle, and each night, they went to bed hoping they could find enough for the next day.

This was the reality for Brgy. Molobolo residents until 2021, when the Alternative Indigenous Development Foundation, Inc. (AIDFI) implemented a clean water access project with a financial grant from The Coca-Cola Foundation (TCCF).

Bizarre Bar’s Top-Rated Cocktail Celebrates Filipino Childhood

At the heart of Makati’s vibrant Poblacion district, Bizarre Bar has once again elevated its reputation with a cocktail degustation experience that transcends mere drinks—it's a heartfelt tribute to Filipino culture. The evening’s highlight, the ‘Ampaw’ cocktail, captivated guests with its fusion of traditional Filipino flavors and modern mixology.

For Bizarre Bar’s Beverage Director, Ian Libang, this dedication is deeply personal. The ‘Ampaw’ cocktail, named in honor of his mother, reflects Libang’s commitment to his roots and the bar’s mission to showcase the rich culinary traditions of the Philippines. By incorporating his mother’s cherished recipe into the final cocktail of the evening, Libang honored his background and reinforced the bar’s dedication to preserving heritage flavors.

Libang shared a touching childhood memory that inspired the ‘Ampaw’ cocktail. He reminisced about how his mother would make toasted rice treats from the burnt rice at the bottom of the rice cooker. “Every summer, when rice would spoil quicker, my mom would collect the burnt rice at the bottom to preserve it. She deep-fried it, sprinkled it with sugar, and served it on a newspaper cone. This practice was actually passed down from her father, as she grew up on a farm, ” Libang explained.
