COBI, controlled by business tycoon Manny V. Pangilinan’s Metro Pacific Water, is the COWD’s primary supplier of treated water. Its supply accounts for more than 40% of the water COWD is distributing in the city. Rio Verde, a firm owned by Palawan Representative Jose Alvarez, has been contracted by COBI to provide it with treated water, which the latter then sells to COWD.
COWD officials said they have been regularly paying COBI based on the P16.60 per cubic meter rate, and never acknowledged the rate increases. Responding to the allegations, the Cagayan de Oro police released a statement on Thursday, May 2, stressing that they merely deployed police personnel to the entrance of Rio Verde’s establishment and other water supply installations “for police visibility and to maintain peace and order.”
