@gcvsa Haha. Yes, it's safer to get our daily hydration from anything but tap water in the Philippines.
Even if the water is treated, the pipes might not be in good condition. Or, someone damaged a pipe somewhere, contaminants are getting into it, and usually only discovered if it finally bursts on the street.
And there are condominiums and subdivisions who rarely checks their water tanks and pipes, and replace as necessary. I think it's safe to say, everyone expects no one drinks from tap water without boiling it first or using a filtration system at home.
