Irawan Birthing Facility in Puerto Princesa City, Palawan. The initiative aims to strengthen their goal of preserving the environment and ensuring the health and wellness of future generations.<\/p>\n<p>To enhance water conservation and management in the facility, the system collects rainwater from the roof and gutter, passing it through vinyl-coated mesh filters to help ensure water quality. With an 800-liter storage capacity, the harvested water serves the facility\u2019s non-potable needs like watering plants, cleaning, and toilet flushing.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_224096\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-224096\" style=\"width: 441px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-224096\" src=\"https:\/\/pageone.zyndk8.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/SM-Cares-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"441\" height=\"182\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pageone.zyndk8.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/SM-Cares-2.jpg 441w, https:\/\/pageone.zyndk8.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/SM-Cares-2-300x124.jpg 300w, https:\/\/pageone.zyndk8.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/SM-Cares-2-100x41.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 441px) 100vw, 441px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-224096\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Faucets connected to the rainwater catchment are duly marked to help guide the community.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The rainwater harvesting facility also operates without electricity and features labeled faucets for intuitive recycled water use.<\/p>\n<p>Midwife Narcisa Jagmis, who leads the said birthing facility, said that the facility will help them reduce their reliance on the city\u2019s water supply systems.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_224097\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-224097\" style=\"width: 260px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-224097\" src=\"https:\/\/pageone.zyndk8.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/SM-Cares-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"260\" height=\"308\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pageone.zyndk8.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/SM-Cares-3.jpg 260w, https:\/\/pageone.zyndk8.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/SM-Cares-3-253x300.jpg 253w, https:\/\/pageone.zyndk8.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/SM-Cares-3-84x100.jpg 84w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 260px) 100vw, 260px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-224097\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Midwife Narcisa Jagmis observes as the system collects rainwater from the gutters.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cMahalagang hindi kami nawawalan ng tubig sa center, lalo na po pag nagsimula kaming magoperate bilang birthing clinic.
