Franchise hearing para sa water concessionaires ng bansa, isinagawa!

Ipinahayag ni Senator Grace Poe ang disgusto niya sa head ng Manila Waterworks and Sewage System (MWSS) dahil sa hindi nito pagsipot sa franchise hearing.

Sa kasalukuyan kasi ay inaasikaso sa ilalim ni Poe ang franchise renewal applications ng Manila Water Services at ng Manila Water.

Ipinuna niya ang kawalan ng head ng MWSS at nagsabing, “It’s really difficult to conduct these hearings on such a very important matter when your head of agency is not even present.”

Ipinaalala niya ang importansya ng malinis at ligtas na tubig at nagsabing, “In the Philippines, the looming water crisis is characterized by constant supply interruption, lack of potable water, and higher water rates.”
