00:00In order for Edgar's complaint to be acted on, on March 11,

00:03a receipt was sent to Maindilat, which is a water service concessionaire in the area.

00:09When we showed the receipts of our complaints,

00:12they confirmed that they were not lines and pipes that were left in the community.

00:18In the past days, we have leak detected and we saw that there are areas where leaks can occur.

00:26There are identified manholes of drainage that we looked at for leaks.

00:32The next day, on March 12, Maindilat's officers searched the manhole

00:36where their water connection would come from.

00:39When they lifted the damaged cover of the manhole,

00:41they found that the connections of pipes and hoses underneath it were not counted.

00:46When we looked inside, we saw connections that were illegal,

00:51that were connected to our line.

00:54That's why on March 13, Maindilat was ready for an on-site operation.

01:03They also contacted the Philippine National Police for assistance in the area.

01:08When Maindilat received a call from the barangay,

01:14the group went to Edgar's place with the receipts.

01:24When they arrived at the area,

01:26a manhole was found in the group that was filled with trash and was opened.

01:32Four illegal connections to their main pipe were seen by Maindilat.

01:37This is how Maindilat's fanaticism began.

01:45So now, six pipes have been cut.

01:48We're expecting more, Pak Taylan.

01:51This is your main pipe, right?

01:53When it's exposed, we'll see it.

01:55Okay, we'll see it.

01:56Those black things are illegal connections?

01:58Yes, sir.

01:59So the pipes go straight to them?

02:01Yes.

02:02We're expecting 40 houses on this line.

02:0540 houses?

02:06They're not connected.

02:07Okay.

02:08Then, are they free or are they being paid?

02:11They're free.

02:12As you can see in our video,

02:15the illegal connection pipes are in the house itself.

02:21Take a look.

02:23How dirty it is.

02:24How dirty it is.

02:27So what they're saying is,

02:28there's a high possibility that it will also go into the pipe,

02:31directly to the houses that are using it.

02:33When our connection is substandard,

02:38it can go into the line of customers

02:42and if they're getting water from there,

02:45and they're drinking from there,

02:47it's possible that there will be water and air pollution.

02:50Yes, ma'am.

02:51They can use the water from the substandard connections.

02:56What are they doing?

02:58They're approaching our barangay to say goodbye.

03:03But there's no barangay here.

03:07I don't have a jurisdiction to allow it.

03:11There's no barangay here.

03:13I'm just a councilor.

03:14I'm just one of the workers.

03:16How will you work?

03:17That's why we can schedule it, sir.

03:20We need respect for the barangay.

03:24Because there's no barangay here,

03:26I tried to call him to ask for his money.

03:28Chairman Rodison Simbyong gave us his number.

03:33Let's call him so that he can personally receive the money

03:36for the operation in Manilat.

03:41It's ringing.

03:43It's a vicious answer.

03:45I'll text him first so that he knows that I'm the one calling him.

03:49The residents who are benefiting from illegal connections

03:52have not stopped coming to the barangay.

03:54They're about to run out of water.

03:56What can you say?

03:57Manilat is operating.

03:58The water line is being cut off.

03:59We feel sorry for them.

04:03As Manilat continues to leave the pipes and pipes,

04:06it seems that the residents of the barangay don't like what's happening.

04:09There's no permission.

04:11Sir, wait a minute.

04:13You're not allowed to come yet.

04:15I hope that they will be consulted first

04:17on what to do to remove the lines.

04:20Stop it.

04:21Because of this,

04:22Manilat and barangay officials agreed to talk to the barangay hall

04:25to cool their heads.

04:29When it's clear and understandable,

04:31Manilat continues to remove the illegal connections between the two manholes.

04:35I'm sorry.

04:36I was just surprised.

04:38That's right.

04:40Fix the pipes so that the water can flow better.

04:43Just like what I'm complaining about,

04:45there's a lot of water here.

04:46That's the right thing to do.
