MANILA - Maynilad and Manila Water customers will see lower water rates by Jan. 1 next year.

Manila Water will cut water rates by P0.14 per cubic meter, while Maynilad will slash P0.05 per cubic meter, as announced by the Metropolitan Waterworks and Sewerage System (MWSS).

The two water concessionaires attribute the rate cut on "foreign currency differential adjustment" or FCDA, as the Philippine peso strengthened against the US dollar and Japanese yen.

Just In!
Singil sa tubig ng Maynilad at Manila Water, bababa dahil sa bawas dulot ng FCDA o Foreign Currency Differential Adjustment.
Mas lumakas kasi ang palitan ng piso kontra US dollar at yen.
