This is being undertaken on a monthly basis to
monitor the quality of the water supplied to the
consumers if it complies with the Philippine National
Standards for Drinking Water.
 2. Joint Water Sampling
As member of the MMDWQMC*, a governing
body created to ensure safe drinking water
supply for the residents of Metro Manila, sample

sold within the City by means of:
random food sampling, temperature
monitoring and swabbing of food contact
surfaces, utensils, equipment as well as the
hands of direct food contact personnel.
4. The laboratory assists in food complaints
