The annual contest is a competition conducted previously by LWD headed by its General Manager, Engr. Pantaleon Ll. Tabanao.

This year, LARC partnered with LWD and opened the competition to elementary and high school students of Los Baños, Bay and Calauan, Laguna to continue this worthy endeavor. The overwhelming number of interested participants required a qualifying round that was held in LWD’s office at Anos, Los Baños, Laguna. Only the top ten elementary and secondary students were allowed to continue to the contest proper. A board of evaluators were also present to verify the contestants’ answers and monitor the contest. LARC invited Prof. Myrna Rodriguez, UPLB Associate Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences as the chairman of the board. As board members, LARC also invited a representative from the Department of Science and Technology IV-A, Ms. Jasmin Hamid and a representative from Department of Education Region IV-A, Mr. Christian S. Balino.  For this year, the winners of the elementary division were Clark Andrew S. Guieb with Coach Johla N. Bondad of South Hill School Incorporated, Los Baños (1st place); Troy Joseph L.

CALAMBA RTC CLEARS LAGUNA WATER DISTRICT JVA In a decision signed last May 6, 2016, Calamba Regional Trial Court Judge Gregorio Velasquez dismissed the petition filed by Los Banos Councilor Norvin Tamisin last November 26, 2015 to prohibit the Laguna Water District from implementing a joint venture agreement with the consortium of Equi-Parco Construction Company, TwinPeak Hydro Resources Corporation, and MetroPac Water Investments Corporation to finance, rehabilitate, expand, improve, expand and maintain the water supply system of the towns of Los Banos, Bay, Calauan and Victoria. Judge Velazquez dismissed the case for lack of merit citing that the court determined that Councilor Tamisin “failed to sufficiently allege acts constituting grave abuse of discretion amounting to excess or lack of jurisdiction that could warrant resort to the remedy of prohibition.”
Councilor Tamisin had previously filed a Petition for Mandamus with Application for Preliminary Injunction and/or Temporary Restraining Order last October 28, 2015 which was also dismissed last April 25, 2016. The court determined the petition “moot and academic” after the Laguna Water District provided the documents and information requested by Councilor Tamisin that complied with all the requirements for transparency under the National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) Joint Venture (JV) Guidelines for public-private partnership projects.
