00:00Rappler asked attendees in a Bulacan Allianza campaign rally what their pressing issues are.
00:06And the resounding consensus is, bad water service and high costs.
00:11In a separate interview, Rappler also got the same feedback from Bulacan residents.
00:15In February in Bulacan, senatorial candidate Camille Villar promised all the basic needs, housing, jobs, etc. except for one, water.
00:45And a very good housing program.
00:50Prime Water entered into a joint venture with the local water district of San Jose del Monte in 2018 under Rodrigo Duterte's presidency when Camille's brother Mark was the Public Works Secretary.
01:02Prime Water Infrastructure Corporation is owned by Camille's brother Manuel Paulo A. Villar.
01:07Camille, Mark, and Manuel Paulo are the children of the Philippines' richest man, former Senator Manny Villar and graduating Senator Cynthia Villar.
01:17Camille Villar's camp referred Rappler to Prime Water when asked for a statement or an interview.
01:23Prime Water has not responded to queries sent to all its registered email addresses.
