00:00With its initial public offering, Maynilad welcomes scrutiny and accountability.

00:06And in doing so, Maynilad can expand our capital markets and our shared belief

00:10that private enterprise can serve the public good.

00:15This also sends a message that transparency is a standard that all our institutions must abide by.

00:22Additionally, Maynilad's sustainability programs, including a climate-resilient water system,

00:28investments in renewable energy and waste management, watershed protection,

00:33these are all acts of stewardship that have future generations in mind.

00:38All these initiatives align with our government's agenda to build an economy that is adaptive and guided by sound governance.

00:48I'm also pleased to note that this occasion reflects a greater partnership between the public and private sector,

00:53where each side contributes to our shared prosperity.

00:58So truly, Maynilad's public listing signals what I have been telling the world,

01:04that the Philippines is open, ready, and eager to do business with you.

01:09To our partners in Maynilad, never lose sight of the people you serve.

01:14Be assured, the government is always in support of your initiatives,

01:19especially now that you have entered this new phase in your service.

01:24As we face the many challenges ahead, from climate change to the rebuilding of public trust,

01:31may this day remind us that reform is built on work done with honesty.

01:36Because I believe that when we do things with purpose and excellence,

01:40progress will flow just like water that is steady and life-giving.

01:47You
