In a text message, retired Lt. General Emmanual Salamat confirmed to Manila Bulletin that he is no longer the MWSS administrator and that former Police Deputy Director General Reynaldo Velasco has regained the position. Velasco now serves as concurrent MWSS chairman and OIC administrator.
The agency went through a management shake-up in 2019 after the Ayala-led and MWSS concessionaire Manila Water Company Inc. caught itself in a supply mess that resulted in millions of its customers having low to no water supply for several weeks.
This prompted President Rodrigo Duterte to ask MWSS to release water for Angat Dam that is good for 150 days to address the issue, to which Velasco responded that the President may have been misinformed about the situation.
