IN THE NEWS: Manila Water and Maynilad should first refund their customers the more than P6 billion collected for unimplemented water projects before hiking fees, Bayan Muna party-list Reps. Neri Colmenares and Carlos Isagani Zarate said Wednesday. In a statement, the lawmakers also criticized the Metropolitan Waterworks and Sewerage System-Regulatory Office (MWSS-RO) for approving the increase. “MWSS-RO should not have approved the rate hike because the two private water concessionaires have yet to refund to their respective customers the more than P6 billion they have collected for unimplemented water and sewerage improvement projects, along with the dam projects,” they said.
