Resolve Maynilad rate dispute in consumers’ favor

IT is no small matter to encourage anyone to willfully disregard the law. In the case of Maynilad Water Services Inc. and its long campaign to pass its corporate tax obligations on to its customers, however, calling on regulator Metropolitan Water and Sewerage Services (MWSS) to do precisely that is a moral and patriotic imperative.

MWSS must not permit Maynilad to take unfair advantage of Filipino consumers, even if it means ignoring rulings that give Maynilad the legal right to do so.
