Clarification of News Report

We reply to your request for clarification and/or confirmation on the news article entitled “Manila Water to revive P8-B Pangasinan deal” posted in Inquirer.net on January 30, 2024. The news article reported in part that:

“LINGAYEN, PANGASINAN—The Manila Water Philippine Ventures (MWPV), a subsidiary of the water utility firm Manila Water Co. Inc., has begun reaching out to the provincial government of Pangasinan in a bid to revive the P8-billion concession agreement that was deemed mutually terminated in December last year.

In a statement on Monday, MWPV said the company and the province’s top officials remained open ‘to explore a partnership on water supply’ even after the deal was called off reportedly due to what the company said was the provincial government’s ‘nonfulfillment of obligations.’

‘This presents an opportunity to revisit the conditions precedent of the old contract and renew the partnership for the benefit of Pangasinenses,’ MWPV said.

Representatives of the company had met with Pangasinan provincial officials last week, the Inquirer learned, but details of the discussion were not immediately known.

On Jan. 3, the MWPV, led by business tycoon Enrique Razon, filed with the Philippine Stock Exchange the termination of the concession agreement with Pangasinan, effective Dec. 31, 2023.

. . . . “

We confirm that the information contained in the above-quoted news article is correct and clarify that no definitive agreement has been reached with the Provincial Government of Pangasinan at this time.

We hope to have clarified the above-quoted news article for the benefit of the Exchange and the investing public.

Thank you.
