b) To formulate a WQMA program, which recognizes issues that are inherently related or cannot be detached from the concerns on water resources, ecological protection, water supply, public health, and quality of life;

c) To encourage, support, and mobilize civil society organizations and other sectors such as the academe and businesses engaged in environment-related activities, in efforts to organize and educate people in addressing pertinent environmental issues and problems in the WQMA;

d) To promote inter-LGU and stakeholder collaboration and cooperation through coordinated efforts in protecting and sustaining acceptable quality of water in the Bued River System; and

e) To support the current environmental protection initiative and efforts of LGUs and other civil society organizations in the WQMA area. CAIHTE
