Malacañang said yesterday the water rates increase was inevitable and assured government’s close monitoring of future adjustments to ensure their minimal impact on consumers.


Press Secretary Ignacio Bunye said the government would also see to it that the rise in water prices would translate to better services to the public.


"The government’s interest is to ensure that everything is fair and square in these matters," he said.

Ayala-led utility firm Manila Water Co. has signed a $30-million standby credit facility with the International Finance Corp. (IFC) to fund its capital expenditures over the next three years.  


In a disclosure to the Philippine Stock Exchange, Manila Water said the company was able to amend a previous loan agreement with the IFC in 2004.       


The new loan facility, which will mature in 10 years, may be disbursed in part or in whole as a dollar loan or a peso loan, Manila Water said.
