Water users shut out of MWSS deal Arbitration or another collusion?

This was the question asked by the Water for All Refund Movement (WARM) yesterday when the scheduled arbitration between the Metropolitan Waterworks and Sewerage System (MWSS) and its two water concessionaires, Manila Water and Maynilad Water was held behind closed doors on Wednesday.

“It looks like a telenovela. Why does the deal have to be kept away from media, water consumers and the public? What are they cooking? How come they have never put to work the MWSS Regulatory Office resolution of September 12 that seeks cutbacks in water rates?” asked WARM President RJ Javellana.
