Villar’s Golden Water
Subdivisions in Las Piñas not owned by the Villars are celebrating. The reason, they are now freed from Villar’s water company with the entry of Maynilad. Unfortunately for the people who live in Camella, they will have to continue paying for high water rates. Villar refused to allow Maynilad to service his subdivisions. Maynilad’s rates are way below what Villar’s water company charges its subscribers. He clearly does know how to put his interests above that of the public.
Let me show you how expensive water coming from Villar’s company can be. Maynilad’s basic charge is P106.77 while Manuela 4A-4H charges P 190.00. The difference doesn’t end there. Maynilad’s rates gradually increases and plateaus at P45.28 at 200/cum and over. Villar’s is P47.50 for 51 cum and over. Spot the difference? The poor residents have no other alternative. If they want cheaper water, they should live elsewhere. “Iiyak talaga ang lahat kay Manny!” via
