SOME employees of the Metropolitan Cebu Water District (MCWD) have criticized general manager Edgar Donoso for his failure to address the non-revenue water (NRW) problem of the water district. “Donoso’s focus on expanding water supply without a comprehensive plan to address NRW demonstrates a lack of understanding of our true priorities,” according to anonymous employees in a letter sent to SunStar Cebu on Monday, April 1, 2024.The anonymous employees alleged that despite Donoso’s openness to suggestions, the water district’s problem with NRW remains unaddressed. They also criticized MCWD for failing to deliver a viable solution despite being aware of the impending effects of the El Niño weather phenomenon.NRW refers to the water produced and lost before reaching consumers. It can occur through physical losses due to leaks and damaged pipes; it also includes free water that the MCWD provides for firefighting purposes.To recall, the Commission on Audit in its 2021 report flagged MCWD for its NRW reaching 29.04 percent, which is over the acceptable maximum rate of only 20 percent.In previous statements, MCWD officials attributed the high NRW in 2021 to the impacts of Typhoon Odette (international name: Rai).MCWD officials said the water district had to deliver water to areas lacking water supply after the calamity. There were also instances where pipelines were damaged by heavy equipment used for drainage projects by various local government units.The anonymous employees, however, alleged that the NRW rates of MCWD had failed to see any significant improvement.Underlying motivesThe anonymous employees said the Pipelines and Appurtenances Maintenance Department and the Non-Revenue Division have been offering solutions to the NRW problem; however, Donoso allegedly favors supply-centric approaches.“Employees are left questioning the underlying motives behind these decisions. If Donoso’s leadership is indeed grounded in public service, why are areas such as Mambaling, Cebu City and Opao, Mandaue City still without running water, despite desalination projects initiated last year?” reads a portion of the letter.The employees said Donoso’s alleged failure to hold suppliers accountable for delays only exacerbates the problem.“Unity within MCWD remains elusive when decision-making power is concentrated in the hands of a select few. With over 800 employees, it is unacceptable for a single individual to dictate the fate of the entire water district,” the employees added.Bankruptcy The anonymous employees also doubted Donoso’s warnings of bankruptcy and privatization under the Local Water Utilities Administration (LWUA) and while they acknowledge Donoso’s skill in managing the water district’s finances during the Covid-19 pandemic, they worry that his focus on desalination instead of fixing NRW issues could harm the water district’s long-term viability.Effective March 15, LWUA assumed control of the MCWD board, suspending the board led by Jose Daluz III, for six months. This is to investigate the issues surrounding the water district, including its high NRW rate.SunStar Cebu tried to get the side of Donoso, but the general manager, through MCWD spokesperson Minerva Gerodias on April 1, said he would answer the allegations in due time, possibly within the week.Daluz has questioned LWUA’s authority to take over the MCWD board, and Donoso has sought the Office of the Government Corporate Counsel’s (OGCC) opinion on this. Last March 21, LWUA Chairman Ronnie Ong said LWUA and MCWD would wait for the OGCC’s opinion. / WBS What season is baseball played in the Dominican Republic?

And this time, they damaged cargo ship and caused some injury to some of our seamen and I think that we cannot view this any way but in the most serious way,” Marcos said.“Once again, we will make our objections known and hope that we can continue to communicate to find the way so that such actions are no longer seen in the West Philippine Sea,” he added.Earlier this week, China Coast Guard (CCG) and Chinese Maritime Militia (CMM) vessels harassed, blocked, deployed water cannons, and executed dangerous maneuvers to obstruct a routine Philippine resupply and rotation mission to BRP Sierra Madre deliberately grounded off Ayungin Shoal.China accused the Philippines of “violating” an agreement during the RORE mission, which the Philippine Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) vehemently denied, noting that no agreement exists in terms of the country’s sovereignty over the WPS.Marcos says situation in WPS ‘worrisome’The incident resulted in the collision of Philippine and Chinese vessels, causing injury to four Filipino security forces and damage to the country’s boats.Marcos also described as “great concern” the reported sightings of Chinese research vessels in Benham Rise.The President said it is a clear intrusion into the Philippine maritime territory.“The presence of Chinese ships in the area is absolutely unnecessary because if it is truly a research vessel, both sides could have come to a simple agreement for those research vessels to ply Philippine waters and conduct such research,” said Marcos.“However, there is a suspicion that they are not only research vessels so, again, this is a bit of an escalation of the tension that is present in the West Philippines Sea,” he added.Navy confirms communication interference being done by China in WPSAs he condemned China, Defense Secretary Gilbert Teodoro urged Beijing to “to be truthful and to be believable,” saying its acts in the WPS are “patently illegal and downright uncivilized.”He said the propaganda mechanisms of the People’s Republic of China attempts to justify their illegal acts against Philippine vessels on their so-called “indisputable” claim over most of the South China Sea. “They take great pains to mischaracterize their provocations as lawful under international law and the actions of their CCG and Maritime Militia as professional, restrained, reasonable, and lawful,” said Teodoro.“This claim is, simply put, one that no right-thinking State in the world agrees with and which many outright condemn. The PRC's vain attempt to manufacture and sell this story falters in the face of real incontrovertible facts,” he added.In his speech at the Lowy Institute Peace and Resilient Amidst Great Power Rivalries: The Philippine Perspective in Melbourne, Australia on Monday, March 4, Marcos said the Philippines will be compelled to push back its partnership with China when the principle of the two countries is questioned or ignored amid tensions in the South China Sea.Marcos also vowed to continue to upgrade the capabilities of the Philippine Coast Guard and pursue the modernization of the Armed Forces of the Philippines amid the tension in the disputed territory.Other countries, including the US and France, have expressed concern over the latest incidents in the WPS.France called for respect for the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, and in particular for freedom of navigation, and resolutely opposes any threat or use of force contrary to international law.

And this time, they damaged cargo ship and caused some injury to some of our seamen and I think that we cannot view this any way but in the most serious way,” Marcos said.“Once again, we will make our objections known and hope that we can continue to communicate to find the way so that such actions are no longer seen in the West Philippine Sea,” he added.Earlier this week, China Coast Guard (CCG) and Chinese Maritime Militia (CMM) vessels harassed, blocked, deployed water cannons, and executed dangerous maneuvers to obstruct a routine Philippine resupply and rotation mission to BRP Sierra Madre deliberately grounded off Ayungin Shoal.China accused the Philippines of “violating” an agreement during the RORE mission, which the Philippine Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) vehemently denied, noting that no agreement exists in terms of the country’s sovereignty over the WPS.Marcos says situation in WPS ‘worrisome’The incident resulted in the collision of Philippine and Chinese vessels, causing injury to four Filipino security forces and damage to the country’s boats.Marcos also described as “great concern” the reported sightings of Chinese research vessels in Benham Rise.The President said it is a clear intrusion into the Philippine maritime territory.“The presence of Chinese ships in the area is absolutely unnecessary because if it is truly a research vessel, both sides could have come to a simple agreement for those research vessels to ply Philippine waters and conduct such research,” said Marcos.“However, there is a suspicion that they are not only research vessels so, again, this is a bit of an escalation of the tension that is present in the West Philippines Sea,” he added.Navy confirms communication interference being done by China in WPSAs he condemned China, Defense Secretary Gilbert Teodoro urged Beijing to “to be truthful and to be believable,” saying its acts in the WPS are “patently illegal and downright uncivilized.”He said the propaganda mechanisms of the People’s Republic of China attempts to justify their illegal acts against Philippine vessels on their so-called “indisputable” claim over most of the South China Sea. “They take great pains to mischaracterize their provocations as lawful under international law and the actions of their CCG and Maritime Militia as professional, restrained, reasonable, and lawful,” said Teodoro.“This claim is, simply put, one that no right-thinking State in the world agrees with and which many outright condemn. The PRC's vain attempt to manufacture and sell this story falters in the face of real incontrovertible facts,” he added.In his speech at the Lowy Institute Peace and Resilient Amidst Great Power Rivalries: The Philippine Perspective in Melbourne, Australia on Monday, March 4, Marcos said the Philippines will be compelled to push back its partnership with China when the principle of the two countries is questioned or ignored amid tensions in the South China Sea.Marcos also vowed to continue to upgrade the capabilities of the Philippine Coast Guard and pursue the modernization of the Armed Forces of the Philippines amid the tension in the disputed territory.Other countries, including the US and France, have expressed concern over the latest incidents in the WPS.France called for respect for the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, and in particular for freedom of navigation, and resolutely opposes any threat or use of force contrary to international law. It reiterates its commitment to resolving disputes through dialogue. (TPM/SunStar Philippines)
