AYALA, PANGILINAN, AND ALL BEHIND THEM MUST ROT IN JAIL

In the news, last night, the Manila Water and the Maynilad, through their respective representatives, backpedaled by expressing their willingness to forego the Singapore arbitration award of 7 and 3 billion peso plus, respectively, and to renegotiate the water concession contracts with the government just to buy peace.

The peoples’ stern warning intended to be taken seriously and committed to both heart and memory to the two water firms, is that they should have been more solicitous in its task to steer clear of blunders, especially their repetitions and recidivism, and to keep their dealings rightfully and lawfully done. But the two firms egregiously demonstrated their apparent incorrigibility showing res ipsa loquitur ( the thing speaks for itself), a sinister pattern of bad faith for money and to foist fraud upon the government and its citizens.

By entering into a contract with the government the two water firms fully knew that the same is unjust in the sense aforesaid then they must have acted maliciously. Heretofore, it is their bad faith in the sense of a dishonest purpose, that they must be prosecuted for PLUNDER and sees them rot in jail. No amount of juggleries could dim this fact.

The questioned actuation of the two water firms and the attendant circumstances brook no explanation consistent with good faith or lack of malice and must be counted as constitutive of a Capital offense. Under the circumstances apropos the Maynilad and the Manila Water, there was an inexplicable series of deceptions bereft of any redeeming feature and signifying fraud in the water concession contracts.

To condone the Maynilad and the Manila Water because of their offer not to collect anymore the Singapore Arbitration award is no more in point to that of the robber who admitted that he had held up numerous banks but he had already stopped, therefore, he is now innocent.

The behavior of the Maynilad and the Manila Water suggests no other conclusion than that they deliberately wanted to cause the Filipino people extreme pain and suffering regardless of the dictates of conscience and the imperatives of law. It is crystal clear that the assailed water concession contracts are contrary to law and are motivated by premeditated efforts to cause injustice.
