Subject of the Disclosure

Inclusion of the Municipality of Victoria, Laguna, in the Service Area of Laguna AAAWater Corporation

Background/Description of the Disclosure

Please be informed that the Sangguniang Bayan of Victoria, Laguna, in its Resolution dated 23 August 2017, has approved the inclusion of the municipality in the service area of Laguna AAA Water Corporation (“Laguna Water”). Laguna Water is the joint venture company between the Provincial Government of Laguna (“PGL”) and Manila Water Philippine Ventures, Inc. (“MWPV”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Manila Water Company, Inc. The inclusion is pursuant to the amended Concession Agreement between Laguna Water and PGL, which, in turn, was executed to provide clean, safe, and reliable water supply to the entire province of Laguna and to replicate the improvements in water services in the cities of Biñan, Cabuyao and Sta. Rosa.

Victoria is a municipality immediately adjacent to Calauan, Laguna, which was also recently included in the service area of Laguna Water under the amended Concession Agreement mentioned above. The inclusion of Victoria will require the construction of a deep well and treatment facility for water supply, as well the laying of over 14km of distribution lines. Total capital investment is estimated at PhP75million and completion of initial phases is slated for April 2018.
