The Metropolitan Waterworks and Sewerage System is not required to share its proceeds from the use of the Angat Dam with the Bulacan Provincial government, the Supreme Court affirmed.According to the high court's statement on Friday, the SC en Banc denied the motion for reconsideration filed by the Bulacan provincial government.The Bulacan government previously asked a regional trial court to compel the MWSS to pay a share of its use of the water resources from the dam.
In denying the provincial government's motion for reconsideration, the SC said it found that the Angat Dam is no longer considered a natural resource as it has been extracted from the Angat River, which is the natural source."Once water is removed from its natural source, it ceases to be part of the natural resources of the country and becomes artificial and man-made in character," it said.
