                    [Summary] => The Metropolitan Waterworks and Sewerage System Regulatory Office has prohibited concessionaire Maynilad Water Services Inc. (MWSI) from raising water rates by P4.75 per cubic meter.


The resolution was passed Aug. 16, or two weeks after the resignation of chief regulator Rex Tantiongco over a controversial memorandum of agreement he brokered that would have allowed Maynilad to recoup its foreign exchange losses in 18 months.
