00:00 The water shortage will be reduced next year.

00:03 How much and why?

00:05 Let's find out in the story of Clayzel Pardilla.

00:08 Almost half of the water is being used by her mother.

00:15 Maybe there's less water consumption, especially this Christmas.

00:20 You're saving money, but you're adding to your daily expenses.

00:25 You're adding to your expenses for the children this Christmas.

00:30 But it seems like her mother will have a hard time paying for her child's school tickets next year.

00:36 The MWSS Regulatory Office has already approved the increased water bill.

00:42 The average increase is almost 8 pesos in the basic charge of Manila.

00:48 This means that if you consume 10 cubic meters of water, the water bill will increase to 26 pesos.

00:55 The average increase is 100 to 200 pesos for those who use 20 to 30 cubic meters.

01:04 Manila Water's customers are also more likely to be high in water consumption.

01:09 The increase in the cost of each cubic meter consumed in the East Zone is more than 6 pesos.

01:15 This means that the bill will increase from 34 pesos to 154 pesos for consumers who use 10 to 30 cubic meters of water.

01:26 According to the MWSS, the rate rebasing was approved so that Manila Water and Manila Projects

01:35 will be able to complete their projects and provide an additional supply of water in front of El Niño.

01:40 This is also one of the reasons for the increase in the cost of the two companies' purchases.

01:47 Some consumers said,

01:49 "We can't afford it anymore. The water bill is already high. We should not lose water, especially if the cost of the sale is high."

01:57 "It is affordable. Again, I'm asking the public for their understanding.

02:03 What's more important is that the service is proper.

02:10 If we don't make this tariff adjustment, we might have problems.

02:16 We might not be able to provide the right service to our consumers.

02:21 This will have a worse effect on our consumers.

02:26 I can guarantee that there will be no water crisis because of these projects.

02:31 MWSS is encouraging 4Ps or poor Filipinos to register as Lifeline Consumers to be given discounts.

02:42 Khaleys Alpardilia for the people!

02:46 Sabayan.
