Mactan Rock clinches deals with Manila firms

Cebu-based water solutions provider Mactan Rock Industries Inc., recently closed a P110 million business deal with Manila Golf Club to provide the golf club's requirements for irrigation.

The company according to its president Antonio Tompar, is commissioned to provide the Golf Club's recycled water for irrigation requirement for 20 years, providing a total of 2,000 cubic-meter a day.

In an interview, Tompar said Mactan Rock has invested about P16 million for the technology to recycle wastewater at the Club.

The P110 million estimated worth of the deal is computed as gross revenue for Mactan Rock in the next 20 years.

"We have already received notice to start operation in the first quarter of next year," Tompar said.

Also, he added that Mactan Rock will also be starting to provide recycled water for flushing at the De Los Santos Hospital also in Metro Manila.

The establishment of this facility at the hospital will cost Mactan Rock another P5 million investment to set up the water recycling technology, which will produce about 300 cubic-meters a day, he said.
