Here is the conclusion of the April 2009 IBON Facts &amp; \nFigures issue titled &#8220;Privatization and the Water Crisis&#8221;:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> &#8220;Water is too\n important a resource for private corporations with narrow interests to \ntake control of. It is part of national patrimony and must never be \nwantonly exploited for private gains. Access to and use of water must at\n all times be guaranteed by the state with due bias for the poor, \nespecially during times of limited water supply. People cannot afford to\n wait for another major bout with El Nino before they begin a major \nreversal of the flawed and anti-people neoliberal water privatization.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/hashtag\/malalangekonomiya?source=feed_text&amp;epa=HASHTAG&amp;__xts__%5B0%5D=68.ARAXgMQl7KKYUBnGsZJs8KXsAIGkN6aTsEOKJP3raUcmNCibm1JuM-dhxtAdy8Q9a3MNw4RuoMuXQIKUenHbDkVYBVCYh2Q5zCFG-LYG-1m98fciwnnLiu4CHmmythCsMh2ceqLWmgZEw1pcu5dc7p2fkcWgsPTmDP2ZvEnXY4rcrhnOhVZj1Nt2_KTIu3PivH2JI6G5jr_C7r-Y9XBllXtW8qUU8hTuuiW_0kayFZxHEfRjPjkHwqtI7dnYC-FDQbyySI8F8X6lZ5bZkXNG-y0BFQW2ihxTBs2YQd2QYUGRSPE8CyasXcj-cpszWs1i1z8-j0YVGAgFpPLFrVjE&amp;__tn__=%2ANK-R\">#MalalangEkonomiya<\/a><br> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/hashtag\/maymagagawa?source=feed_text&amp;epa=HASHTAG&amp;__xts__%5B0%5D=68.ARAXgMQl7KKYUBnGsZJs8KXsAIGkN6aTsEOKJP3raUcmNCibm1JuM-dhxtAdy8Q9a3MNw4RuoMuXQIKUenHbDkVYBVCYh2Q5zCFG-LYG-1m98fciwnnLiu4CHmmythCsMh2ceqLWmgZEw1pcu5dc7p2fkcWgsPTmDP2ZvEnXY4rcrhnOhVZj1Nt2_KTIu3PivH2JI6G5jr_C7r-Y9XBllXtW8qUU8hTuuiW_0kayFZxHEfRjPjkHwqtI7dnYC-FDQbyySI8F8X6lZ5bZkXNG-y0BFQW2ihxTBs2YQd2QYUGRSPE8CyasXcj-cpszWs1i1z8-j0YVGAgFpPLFrVjE&amp;__tn__=%2ANK-R\">#MayMagagawa<\/a><br> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/hashtag\/peopleeconomics?source=feed_text&amp;epa=HASHTAG&amp;__xts__%5B0%5D=68.ARAXgMQl7KKYUBnGsZJs8KXsAIGkN6aTsEOKJP3raUcmNCibm1JuM-dhxtAdy8Q9a3MNw4RuoMuXQIKUenHbDkVYBVCYh2Q5zCFG-LYG-1m98fciwnnLiu4CHmmythCsMh2ceqLWmgZEw1pcu5dc7p2fkcWgsPTmDP2ZvEnXY4rcrhnOhVZj1Nt2_KTIu3PivH2JI6G5jr_C7r-Y9XBllXtW8qUU8hTuuiW_0kayFZxHEfRjPjkHwqtI7dnYC-FDQbyySI8F8X6lZ5bZkXNG-y0BFQW2ihxTBs2YQd2QYUGRSPE8CyasXcj-cpszWs1i1z8-j0YVGAgFpPLFrVjE&amp;__tn__=%2ANK-R\">#PeopleEconomics<\/a><br> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/hashtag\/beyondelections2019?source=feed_text&amp;epa=HASHTAG&amp;__xts__%5B0%5D=68.ARAXgMQl7KKYUBnGsZJs8KXsAIGkN6aTsEOKJP3raUcmNCibm1JuM-dhxtAdy8Q9a3MNw4RuoMuXQIKUenHbDkVYBVCYh2Q5zCFG-LYG-1m98fciwnnLiu4CHmmythCsMh2ceqLWmgZEw1pcu5dc7p2fkcWgsPTmDP2ZvEnXY4rcrhnOhVZj1Nt2_KTIu3PivH2JI6G5jr_C7r-Y9XBllXtW8qUU8hTuuiW_0kayFZxHEfRjPjkHwqtI7dnYC-FDQbyySI8F8X6lZ5bZkXNG-y0BFQW2ihxTBs2YQd2QYUGRSPE8CyasXcj-cpszWs1i1z8-j0YVGAgFpPLFrVjE&amp;__tn__=%2ANK-R\">#BeyondElections2019<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The water crisis is far from over.
