00:00Almost two months have passed for the residents of a subdivision in Antipolo City
00:05after they were cut off from water in December.
00:08The debt of their Homeowners' Association in Manila Water reached 1.7 million pesos.
00:16Witness, Ian Cruz.
00:21The current and former head of the Homeowners' Association of a subdivision in Cupang, Antipolo City,
00:28is saying that it is not responsible why the bulk meter of the subdivision was cut off from the debt in Manila Water.
00:36Under the bulk meter system, the master meter and water bill are named in the Homeowners' Association.
00:43The homeowner is the one who is collecting the water bill from the residents.
00:49Even if it's pesos, I don't get anything from the water.
00:53If you ask me, we are still in debt.
00:57Because at that time, it was cut off.
01:00That's why we know that there is a debt.
01:03He's not stopping me because he wants to get the water.
01:06I don't know for what reason. Maybe for personal interest.
01:12Earlier, Jim Integrative News reported that the barangay of Cupang used a fire truck.
01:18There is also a container on the street where the residents can borrow money.
01:23On December 17, or almost two months,
01:27many residents are still struggling when they are cut off from the water due to the debt in Manila Water.
01:32The cost of water is high on the days of borrowing money.
01:37The water refilling station has a business. It's profitable.
01:40It's more than 30,000 pesos a month.
01:47Yesterday, Manila Water returned the connection of the subdivision.
01:51But only those who paid P5,000 in the barangay have water now.
01:56Others don't want to pay because they have to work in their area.
02:00But they are not afraid that the water service will continue.
02:04There is no guarantee. When we first asked if it will be repaid, they said no.
02:10No problem. We can pay.
02:13But we feel that it might be cut off again.
02:17It won't go to the right place.
02:19According to Manila Water, the homeowner's association owes almost P1.7 million pesos.
02:25With the help of Barangay Cupang, the residents will be able to collect their payment.
02:31More than P375,000 has been down-payment.
02:35That's why the supply of water has been returned.
02:37It will fall within a year.
02:40According to the residents who invested P1.7 million,
02:43each house will have its own metro.
02:46According to Manila Water.
02:47The debt of the homeowners of their community needs to be settled first
02:57before we proceed with the process of individualization.
03:03This will be applied.
03:05For GMA Integrated News, Ian Cruz is your witness.
