Aired (March 16, 2025): Kung sino pa ang nagbabayad nang tama, siya pa ang napeperwisyo! Isang residente sa Tondo, Maynila ang nagreklamo dahil sa mahina at madalas na pagkawala ng supply ng tubig sa kanilang tahanan. Ayon sa residente, mahina man ang supply ng tubig, ang laki pa rin ng kanilang binabayaran. Ang mga kapitbahay niya naman daw, saganang-sagana naman sa tubig kahit ilegal umano ang koneksyon ng mga ito. Panoorin ang video. #Resibo

00:00Some residents in Tondo are paying for the water, but they often run out of electricity in their groups.
00:09The reason is that the illegals who connect to the source of the water are in a hurry, but they are not paying.
00:16Can the problem of water in their area be found a solution?
00:21A concerned citizen who is hiding under the name of Edgar fell into the Recibo Action Center.
00:30He complained that the illegals who connected to the source of the water in Tondo, a.k.a. the water jumpers,
00:37The illegal connections to us, to the source of the water,
00:41because they can see that the people are rushing to their homes.
00:47Edgar added that the water is unli and bottomless for most of his neighbors who benefit from the illegal connection.
00:55The water there is very limited.
00:56The people will throw it away if they don't use it.
00:58That's why the water is flooding.
01:00But when he arrived at Edgar's house, the water was just about to reach his house.
01:06We don't have electricity.
01:08We don't have electricity.
01:10We are saving money.
01:12We are saving money.
01:14We are saving money.
01:16To make matters worse, there is no water.
01:18His water bill is already too high.
01:20He had to pay a water bill of P600 to P800 before.
01:24Now, it's P1,000.
01:26How much did you pay?
01:28P3,000.
01:30When the Recibo received the complaint of Edgar,
01:32our group conducted a first surveillance of the area.
01:36When it came to the road he was referring to,
01:40the water tanks were covered with garbage.
01:42When the Recibo continued to observe the area,
01:46the water was being drained from a metro and host.
01:50Outside of the houses, there was no metro or water pump in front.
01:54It was comfortable to wash,
01:56to bathe,
01:58to wash dishes,
02:00and to clean the motorcycles of the residents.
02:02Wow! So blessed by the Yarn!
02:06He's paying and this is what's happening.
02:08It's heart-breaking.
02:10It should have stopped so that we won't be affected by the water.
02:14To make Edgar's complaint work,
02:16this March 11,
02:18the Recibo intended to accept him
02:20as a water service concessionaire in the area.
02:23When we showed the Recibo of our group,
02:26they confirmed that they are not line workers
02:29and that the water pipes are left in the community.
02:32In the past days,
02:34we have leak detected
02:36and we saw that there are areas
02:38where leaks can occur.
02:40There are identified manholes of drainage
02:43that we looked for leaks.
02:46The next day, March 12,
02:48the residents of Maynilat surrounded the manhole
02:50where the connection of their water will come from.
02:53When they lifted the damaged cover of the manhole,
02:56the connections of the pipes and hosts
02:58below it burst.
03:00When we looked inside,
03:02we saw illegal connections
03:04that are connected to our water.
03:10That's why on March 13,
03:12Maynilat prepared for
03:14an on-site operation.
03:18They also contacted the Philippine National Police
03:20for assistance in the area.
03:24When Maynilat received a call from the barangay,
03:28the group went to Edgar's place
03:30with the Recibo.
03:38When they arrived at the area,
03:40a manhole was found in the group
03:42that was filled with garbage and opened.
03:46Four illegal connections
03:48in their main pipe were seen by Maynilat.
03:51This is when Maynilat's madness started.
03:58So now, six pipes have been cut.
04:00Yes.
04:01We're expecting more.
04:03What's the name of your main pipe?
04:05Once it's exposed, we'll see it.
04:07Okay, okay. We'll see it.
04:09Those black things are illegal connections?
04:11Yes, sir.
04:12So the pipes go straight to them?
04:14Yes.
04:15Okay.
04:16We're expecting 40 houses in this line.
04:1840 houses?
04:19That are connected.
04:20Okay.
04:21Then, is that free or are they being paid?
04:25As you can see in our video,
04:27the illegal connection pipes
04:30are in the house itself.
04:33Look at it.
04:34Look how dirty it is.
04:36Look how dirty it is.
04:38So what they're saying is
04:40there's a high possibility
04:41that it will also enter the pipe
04:43straight to the houses that use it.
04:45When our connections are substandard,
04:51it can enter the line
04:53of the customers.
04:55If they get water
04:57and we drink it,
04:59there's a possibility
05:00of water and air pollution.
05:02Yes, ma'am.
05:03They can use the water
05:05from the substandard connections.
05:08What are they doing?
05:10What?
05:11They're coming to our barangay
05:14to say goodbye.
05:16But there's no water.
05:19But there's no barangay.
05:22I don't have a jurisdiction
05:24to allow it.
05:26There's no barangay.
05:28I'm just a councilor.
05:29I'm just one of the members.
05:31How will you do it?
05:32That's why we can schedule it, sir.
05:35We need respect
05:37for the barangay.
05:39Because there's no barangay,
05:41I tried to call him
05:42to ask for his help.
05:43He gave us the number
05:45of Chairman Rodison Simbyong.
05:47We'll call him
05:48so that he can personally
05:50handle the panic
05:51in the operation
05:52in Manila.
05:55Ring.
05:58He won't answer.
06:00I'll text him
06:01so that he knows
06:02that I'm the one calling him.
06:03The residents
06:04who benefit
06:05from the illegal connections
06:06didn't stop
06:07to complain
06:08that they'll run out of water.
06:10What can you say?
06:11Manila operated
06:12and the water line was cut.
06:14We'll be sorry.
06:18As the residents
06:19of Manila
06:20continued to leave
06:21the pipes and pipes,
06:22some residents
06:23didn't like
06:24what was happening.
06:25We don't have permission.
06:26We'll stop it now.
06:27Sir, wait a minute.
06:28You don't have the authority
06:29to do that.
06:30I hope that they
06:31will be consulted
06:32on what to do
06:33to remove the lines.
06:34Stop it.
06:36Because of this,
06:37the residents of Manila
06:38and barangay officials
06:39agreed to talk
06:40in the barangay hall
06:41to cool their heads.
06:44When it was clear
06:45and clear,
06:46the residents of Manila
06:47continued to remove
06:48the illegal connections
06:49in the two manholes.
06:50We'll be sorry.
06:51I was surprised
06:52by the officials.
06:53It's right
06:55to fix the pipes
06:56so that the water line
06:57will be better.
06:58Just like I'm complaining
06:59that we'll run out
07:00of water.
07:01It's right to pay.
07:03At the reception
07:04of Recibo in Manila,
07:05their investigation
07:06shows that
07:07many pipes and lobbies
07:08were damaged.
07:09Their main connection.
07:10We saw
07:11some illegal connections.
07:12And definitely,
07:13outright,
07:14we'll remove it
07:15because
07:16it's not legal.
07:17Aside from the permission
07:18given to those
07:19who really pay
07:20for water in Manila,
07:21this can also
07:22bring danger
07:23to health.
07:24When there's contamination,
07:25everyone is prone
07:26to the risk
07:27of contamination
07:29which can lead
07:30to waterborne diseases.
07:32In addition,
07:33it's strictly prohibited
07:34in the law
07:35to connect
07:36any connection
07:37to their line.
07:38We have a law
07:39on water pilferage
07:40anti-illegal.
07:42That is
07:43RA 8041
07:44where
07:45there's a penalty
07:46or punishment
07:48for those
07:49who are caught
07:50in illegal connection.
07:51There are many kinds
07:52of illegalities
07:53in water pilferage.
07:54And one of them
07:55is unauthorized
07:56connection
07:57to our main line.
07:58First of all,
08:00there's a monetary penalty
08:01for that.
08:02Second,
08:03there's also
08:04a punishment
08:05that can lead
08:06to jail
08:07for those
08:08who are illegally
08:09connected.
08:10Meanwhile,
08:11Manila stopped
08:12the leak diagnosis
08:13and repair
08:14in our barangay.
08:15If this is an informal settler,
08:16we need to check
08:17the status of the area
08:18to determine
08:19if we can provide
08:20individual
08:21water connections
08:22for the residents
08:23or we can
08:24offer
08:25just a public
08:26faucet
08:27or communal
08:28faucet
08:29where everyone
08:30can get
08:31supply.
08:32They just need
08:33to operate
08:34with us
08:35and provide
08:36the requirements
08:37needed
08:38so that
08:39we can
08:40regularize
08:41their connection
08:42to our main line.
