00:00 The Pangilinan Group restores water supply in Cagayan de Oro after President Ferdinand

00:05 Marcos Jr. stepped in.

00:07 The tap water shortage in 13 villages ends following talks between Marcos and business

00:12 tycoon Manny V. Pangilinan of Metro Pacific Water, the controlling entity behind COBI.

00:18 The supply from Cagayan de Oro Bulk Water Incorporated, or COBI, accounts for nearly

00:23 half of the treated water the Cagayan de Oro Water District, or COWD, has been distributing

00:29 in CDO and parts of Misamis Oriental.

00:32 COBI turned off the water supply on Tuesday, May 14.

00:36 Metro Pacific Water says the move was voluntary and had nothing to do with the CDO court's

00:41 temporary restraining order.

00:43 COBI and COWD have been in a dispute over a debt amounting to 500 million pesos.

00:49 The amount mostly represents the price difference when the supplier implemented water rate adjustments

00:54 in 2021 and early 2024.
