Chief Justice Diosdado M. Peralta said he has been informed by Environment and Natural Resources Secretary Roy Cimatu that the two water concessionaires have started constructing wastewater treatment facilities in both the south and north side of Metro Manila.
In a unanimous full court decision written by Associate Justice Ramon Paul L. Hernando, the SC also ordered the two water firms and the MWSS to pay a fine of P322,102 for every day of non-compliance with the law. The SC decision stated that “Maynilad shall be jointly and severally liable with the MWSS for a total amount of P921,464,184 covering the period May 7, 2009 to the date of promulgation .”
The SC’s 2019 decision upheld the ruling of the Court of Appeals which affirmed the fine imposed by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources on the MWSS and the two water concessionaries. In line with its continuing mandamus, the SC created the Manila Bay Advisory Committee to monitor and evaluate the reports submitted by the agencies.
