                    [Title] => Malacañang denies ‘sweetheart deal’ in Maynilad settlement
                    [Summary] => Malacañang called on the political opposition to stop casting doubts on a settlement reached between the government and Maynilad Water Services, insisting no backroom deals were made.


Maynilad hammered out a compromise last week with government regulator Metropolitan Waterworks and Sewerage System (MWSS) allowing the Lopez-run utility to return to the government the responsibility of providing water to over half of Metro Manila.

The agreement was necessary to ensure uninterrupted water supply, Presidential Spokesman Ignacio Bunye said.

Under the deal, the government would take over Maynilad in lieu of unpaid concession fees of more than P6 billion. It will receive a 61 percent stake worth almost the same amount.

Justice Undersecretary Manuel Teehankee said the International Arbitration Court issued the order to Maynilad Water Services after the utility tried to pull out of the concession last year, citing government failure to comply with requirements.

The court order represents "a major victory" for both the government and the state water regulator, Teehankee said in a statement late Saturday.

Inihayag ni Press Secretary Ignacio Bunye ang pagkakatalaga kay Justice Undersecretary Manuel Teehankee bilang bagong OGCC head.

Ayon kay Bunye, ang unang plano ni Pangulong Arroyo ay pagpapalitin lamang ng puwesto sina Teehankee at Valdez, pero sinabi ni Bunye na hindi umano tinanggap ni Valdez ang puwesto sa DOJ bilang undersecretary dahil hindi naman umano inalok sa kanya.
