00:00Customers and passengers need to tighten their belts because of the increase in water and massages this April.

00:10Joseph Moro has the story.

00:16Some Nia Road owners in Quezon City, like Evelyn, don't have their own water container.

00:21That's why they only buy water.

00:24One cubic meter of water was given to us for P100.

00:28Last month, she paid P6,000.

00:32To save money, they only do one bath every month.

00:38Like Evelyn, Adrian also buys water every day.

00:41Today, he spent P35 for drinking, washing, and bathing his family.

00:47But Evelyn and Adrian are worried about the high price of the water they buy.

00:53Since today, the increase of Manila Water due to foreign currency adjustment or increased expenses of Manila Water in operation

01:01due to the increase of the dollar that was given to its customers.

01:06I don't know if the increase will happen again.

01:09The average increase in the bill is P4 per cubic meter,

01:13which is equivalent to an additional P21 in the bill for residential customers who consume up to 10 cubic meters.

01:21According to the person who is looking for water,

01:24he will first look for a big increase in the bill before making a decision on increasing the bill.

01:30He was informed by the group of townspeople and some of the consumers that I talked to.

01:35For one person, family and friends, the increase is big.

01:40It's hard for us to budget because we don't have regular jobs.

01:46But it's not the only water shortage that will increase this April because tomorrow,

01:51the fare hike in LRT Line 1 will start from P5 to P10.

01:55No additional announcement was made for MRT 3 and LRT 2,

01:59while the two-peso request for a provisional increase of jeepneys is still pending.

02:05For motorists, the big-time all-price hike that exceeds P1 per liter in gasoline, diesel, and kerosene will be heavy in their pockets.

02:14For GMA Integrated News, Joseph Morong, for Tutok 24 Horas.
