The Public Consultation scheduled by TIEZA on Monday, December 10 will be impassioned
according to Vice Mayor Ceciron Cawaling.
The said event will be held in connection to the planned increase in tariff
in water and waste water management of the Boracay Island Water Company (BIWC).
According to the Vice Mayor, many BIWC clients will give their reactions or
complaints on the planned high increase.
Cawaling explained that the thirty five to fifty percent (35 to 50%)
increase is too heavy on the pocket and he himself allegedly was unhappy with the
increase.
He added that aside from affecting local residents of Boracay, the planned
increase will have a huge effect on businesses of investors in the island.
Because of this, Cawaling instructed the Secretary of the Town Council to hasten
the writing of a position letter containing the Council’s disapproval on the
planned increase in fee. The content of the position letter was planned to be
presented on the scheduled Public Consultation by TIEZA on Thursday, December 6
but was moved to Monday, December 10.
Meanwhile, in relation to the planned fee increase, the Councilman Welbic
Gelito proposed that the Council should look into the contract of agreement
between TIEZA and the BIWC.
Councilmen Cawaling and Gelito expressed their views in the Regular Session
of the Town Council on Tuesday, December 4.
