Whenever dotardte enters the scene, everything is messed up bad because he lacks knowledge of the real issues before he begins to lambast the parties involved. Apparently he is using his “kanto boy” approach....suntok muna bago paliwanag.

We learned from our Econ class that utilities are 'natural monopolies' and hence should be run by govt. But govt is corrupt and inefficient so we privatized them. At least private operators can be checked from time to time by govt, whereas govt can't effectively supervise itself.

This is getting crazy...water is national natural resource, it’s ok if you did your jobs however they are not and the agreement is unconstitutional in the first place, people have been suffering because of them, same goes for electricity wherein we pay system losses too

Whatever. It's Plunder.
