                    [Summary] => The Arroyo administration is eyeing a $125-million loan from the World Bank (WB)  to finance the rehabilitation of the Maynilad Water Resources Inc. (Maynilad) after the government took over its concession from the Lopez group. 


Maynilad president Fiorello Estuar said negotiations are on-going for the loan which would finance the rehabilitation of Maynilad’s most problematic pipelines and ultimately reduce the company’s non-revenue water (NRW).

                    [Summary] => Malacañang warned the Maynilad Water Resources Inc. yesterday against implementing its notice of force majeure to suspend payments of concession fees to the Metropolitan Waterways and Sewerage System (MWSS).


Presidential Spokesman Renato Corona issued the warning when Maynilad served the default notice to the MWSS Thursday after President Arroyo frowned on the proposed water rate increase. Maynilad said the increase was to recover company losses due to peso-dollar fluctuations in the repayment of foreign loans.
