He said the use of water for drinking purposes is only half of the whole picture. "I am for the full utilization wherein water is used for generation of water resources and for energy. When you talk only of water resources, that is just half of the story," Mayor Duterte said. "If that is the stand of the incoming mayor, this is my stand.

Asked if he will override the possibility of a mayor's veto on the amendments on the watershed code, the senior Duterte said he just might do it. He said he will first determine as to how many votes he needs to override a mayor's veto on a bill. The Watershed Code was passed in 2007. The law took effect on October 15, 2008 when Mayor Rodrigo Duterte signed the ordinance and its Implementing Rules and Regulations.
