[Title] => Many in Metro Cebu buying expensive water
[Summary] =>
While MCWD consumers are worried about the price increase when they are paying around P15 to P20 per cubic meter of water, 61 percent of the total households in Metro Cebu not being served by MCWD are paying P150 per cu. m.
Records show that only 39 percent of the total households in Metro Cebu are served. This does not include underserved areas where water is not available 24 hours a day.
Unserved areas buy water for as high as P150 per cu. m. from unsafe sources, water tankers and so called "taro-taro."

[Title] => Questions raised on finances of top bidder for Capitol lot
[Summary] =>
Questions have been raised on the qualifications of an international consortium that participated in a bid to develop a 2.8564-hectare Capitol property in barangay Banilad for commercial use on a Build-Transfer-Operate (BTO) scheme.
This came after it was learned that Philippine-Beijing Motors Corporation (PBMC), which was reported as the top bidder for the Banilad lot project, has applied for a financial rehabilitation plan, after having failed to pay its financial obligations with the Metropolitan Bank and Trust Company (Metrobank).
