same case we had recently which started last year rin...we were billed 24K naman for tampering daw!!! Humarap kami sa meeting sa maynilad and unfortunately ang bottom line its either you black and white your contestion but they will file also a lawsuit rin to you. Maynilad is the only and highest governing body who can decide these kind of matters but in this case pag nag file k ng kaso sa isa MWSS para mo na rin kinalaban at sampahan ng kaso.
Correction po, NWRB po ang highest governing body when it comes to water issues
If I may, this is one LEGITIMATE EXTORTION by maynilad or government na wala tayong magagang maliliit laman...puedeng magsampa ng kaso but for those people who knows magkano ang abogado...its around 30K..considering that im sure it will take YEARSSSSSSS!...lugi ka pa....
Pera pera po ang labanan d2 pinas.
That 2 water concessionaires are used to conspired with the subdivision officials, subdivision developers & municipal officers.
Imagine, confident na kaagad sila na tampered yung metro even without touching it..even if their OWN FREAKING seal is still intact... ayaw nilang tanggapin na it maybe their meters had a defect...to think that our meter was almost 30 years...ano yun lifetime device? They admitted that in pandacan , almost 75% daw tampered...(isnt defective yung meters nila?) kahit simbhana ng pandacan tinalo pa...) Obviously we are not talking about illegal LINES connecting to your meter nor overusing water.
Tamper
eh
lintik ang mga proteksyon ng kanilang mga meters at ang tindi pa ng pagkakasemento. Tinalo pa nga ang pagkakasemento nila sa mga kalsadang dinaanan ng kanilang water lines. Ayun ngayon, sira sira ang mga kalsada sa mga subdivisions na pinasok nila.
Pnong tamper? Nasa labas na nga ng bahay ang mga water meters, visible na visible sa madlang people.
Well sa huli, they ended up lowering it down from 24K to 14K na lng daw and pinalabas na we overpaid daw those months so correction lng yun...they also said na if you want to change this...maghanap ka ng kongresista or senador para mabago ang batas...(oo nga naman..stupid..)
STILL this is still a BIG CRAP..
Im still hoping I can find other ways to broadcast and expose this (....gagohan.......) it was already in imbestigador forums and blogs since 2005 pa....!
Wag na po kayong umasa dyan sa mga TV shows 2lad ng imbestigador, etc. We've experienced that hindi rin tumulong. Ang sabi po sa amin nakapagreklamo na daw kami sa MWSS eh.
Any other ideas would be ver helpful...
