Former Cagayan de Oro councilor Enrico Salcedo, lead convenor of the Bantay Tubig Movement, said at least 17,228 people signed the manifesto to rescind or amend COWD’s 2017 bulk water agreement with the Manny V. Pangilinan-controlled Cagayan de Oro Bulk Water Incorporated due to a provision on rate adjustments they found disadvantageous.COMPLAIN.
Several villages were affected by the disconnection. However, later that day, a temporary restraining order was issued by a regional court enjoining the supplier from disconnecting the supply and distribution to COWD. Cagayan de Oro Councilor James Judith, one of the complainants, said they planned to bring the matter to court.Roberto Rodrigo, Metro Pacific’s senior legal counsel, said rescinding the 2017 contract would result in more problems “since there will be legal obstacles for COWD to purchase directly from Rio Verde.”
He earlier explained that Rio Verde has a contractual obligation to provide COBI with 100,000 cubic meters of treated water per day, which is Rio Verde’s maximum supply capacity. This means, according to Rodrigo, that Rio Verde cannot directly sell to the water district while it has a contract with COBI.
Fermin Jarales, COWD’s interim general manager, said the Bantay Tubig Movement’s initiative was a “welcome development” in efforts to stir public discussions and participation about the state of the city’s water supply.
