MR. EBESATE: Although Manila Water and Maynilad, being mere concessionaires of MWSS, are supposed to be equally bound by the mandate of MWSS “to provide adequate, safe, reliable and affordable water services” to its consumers, it’s apparent such mandate is more honored in the breach than the observance. Undeniably, the water privatization experiment has proved to be a disaster to consumers. That’s because private water concessionaires do not exist for the benefit of the public but exist solely for profit. Ordinary Filipinos are now paying a steep price for the concessionaires’ growing appetite for profit, with water rates at historic highs. On top of that, some concessionaires have even taken to “scamming” consumers to boost their bottom line. Weve been deceived in the privatization of water, now the government would deceived us again in the privatization of our public hospitals! No to the privatization of Philippine Orthopedic Center!
