00:08 In their 2022 audit report, COA decided that the MWSS asked for not only a lot of money for Manila and Manila Water,
00:16 but also it was included in the concession agreement of the water concessionaires.
00:20 COA also suspended the MWSS from asking for additional expenses,
00:24 except if it was approved by the Department of Finance.
00:28 The MWSS said that they were also in agreement with the memorandum of agreement for the construction of the Kaliwadam,
00:34 which was also signed by the water concessionaires.
00:37 For now, there is no expense for the Kaliwadam project that is being charged to the consumers.

01:08 Some officials of Farmily, including the brothers Mohit and Winkle Dargani, were also charged.
01:14 According to the resolution of the MWSS, the respondents have been charged to award more than P4 billion contract for RT-PCR test kits in Farmily,
01:23 even though there are other companies that can supply these in a lower price.
01:27 This was also made saddened by some of the most guilty officials of Farmily.

01:39 The DBM will follow the orders of the MWSS.
01:42 For GMA Integrated News, I will go to your witness.
