00:01Concerned over water service woes affecting communities, including his own district, re-elected Zambales First District Representative Jay Kung Hoon,
00:10filed a resolution urging the House of Representatives to investigate the issues concerning Prime Water Infrastructure Corporation.
00:17Under his House Resolution No. 22, Kung Hoon wants to examine the impact of Prime Water's joint venture agreements with local water districts and the alleged irregularities connected to this.
00:28Kung Hoon is dismayed that many people still continue to experience and voice out complaints against the said water service provider up until now.
00:58Other lawmakers also support the conduct of the said investigation, including La Union First District Representative Paulo Ortega.
01:07Ang goal naman natin dito eh, mapaayos yung servisyo at mabigay yung kinaukulang servisyo na nararapat po sa taong bayan.
01:15Prime Water had previously asserted that they are already addressing the complaints against their company.
01:20To hear the side of the consumers, certain personalities may also be invited to the hearing.
01:25Ang tubig, dapat yan, nagbibigay buhay. Hindi lang yung negosyo. So may possibility na imbitahan din natin yung mga consumer na nagre-reklamo at na-apektohan sa prime water.
01:40Still in the issue of water, FPJ Panday Bayo ni Han Part 3's Representative Brian Poe has filed a separate proposal pushing for the creation of a Department of Water Resources in the country.
01:51Sa pag-iikot natin ng kampanya, napansin natin sa iba't ibang panig ng bansa. Hanggang ngayon, problema pa rin ang tubig. Kaya kailangan natin i-address ito. So we're filing the regulatory framework for water in this country.
02:06Meanwhile, as the issue surrounding the impeachment complaint against Vice President Sara Duterte remains a hot topic, the media also asked Representative Poe whether he supports holding a trial for the case or not.
02:18I will follow the example set before me by my mother in the Senate. She voted in favor of the trial and I will vote to support that. Not for anything, but to support democracy and transparency within government.
