Bais Mayor scores water district manager
“Wala’y lingaw!” This was how Bais City Mayor Tata Villanueva described Bais City Water District Manager Irish Cacas.
Earlier, Cacas who was interviewed over DYEM Energy FM Dumaguete Tonight disclosed that she sent a letter to President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo to complain about the grave abuse of authority imposed by Mayor Villanueva. This was after the local government unit of Bais distributed free ozonized water to the indigents. Because of this, according to Cacal, their consumers decreased.
However, Mayor Villanueva just laughed at the issue. He said that this is one of the programs of the administration, to provide clean and safe water to the people.
In an interviewed over Dumaguete Tonight, Mayor Villanueva said that it is not the fault of their local government if they provide clean and safe water to drink for their constituents. The mayor added that as a result of their distribution of clean water to the indigents, there were no longer water-borne diseases that inflicted their city. Mayor Villanueva disclosed that that they will continue to provide free ozonized water to the indigents of Bais City. At present, benefited with the free water are the residents from Poblacions 1, 2, Barangay Okiot and Barangay Kapinyahan. The mayor also said that the water sold at the Bais City Water District is expensive.
