Engineer Antonio Young, general manager of the Cagayan de Oro Water District , confirmed that they met online with representatives of the Metro Pacific Water on Thursday, March 21, in the hope of settling a dispute over a debt of over P400 million. He pointed out that the COWD is a government-owned and -controlled corporation, subject to state auditing rules and which cannot just decide to release funds for a debt that has not been acknowledged.
“ there’s a court order, our office will be compelled to pay. That would be our legal basis,” Young told Rappler. COBI legal counsel Roberto Rodrigo, however, said that a water supply disconnection would be the bulk water supplier’s last resort. The resolution contains the invocation of the force majeure clause and the decision not to acknowledge the rate adjustment.
