President Rodrigo Duterte apologized to businessmen Manny Panglinan and the Ayala clan for his harsh words that he said to them during his administration.
In a tweet early Tuesday morning, Pangilinan acknowledged the sincerity and kindness of Duterte's apology to him. Pangilinan is the head of the Metro Pacific Group of Companies, where Maynilad is one of its companies. Early December last year, Duterte threatened to file a plunder case against Metro Manila water concessionaire companies Manila Water and Maynilad for supposedly entering into onerous agreements with the government.The Permanent Court of Arbitration ordered the government last year to pay ₱7.39 billion to Manila Water due to the losses incurred by the company stemming from rejected water rate hikes back in 2015.
