Hi Rappler, thank you for covering and exposing on national level the anomalies with prime water.
I'd like to report, that Cabanatuan City is also suffering with the same problems, Bulacan, Cavite and other province and cities that are under prime water's services
What's even worse is we found out that our village is being charged with their Commercial Rates instead of Residential Rates.
So you can just imagined the skyrocketing water bills we are getting especially these past summer months
De La Salle University - Dasmariñas has allowed members of the LGBTQ+ community to wear gender-affirming attite for their graduation photoshoot.

Thanks for sharing this info @Jb we're collecting info on which areas nationwide have been badly affected by PrimeWater's poor service (and they continue to collect payments?!) If you hear of other areas, do let us know. Thank you and help us spread the word.
My name is Karl Leonid and I am a private citizen and the Vice President of Milangeline Agri-Forest Farm located in Barangay Pintong Bukawe, San Mateo, Rizal
I am writing to request the community's assistance and advise on how to get immediate media coverage regarding the illegal obstruction of a certified public road—a national highway segment in kambal, Maarat (C6 Road)—by Progressive Development Corporation and Keen Eye Security Agency. These private entities have erected barriers and deployed armed security guards who illegally block public access, intimidate motorists, and selectively allow passage in violation of local and national laws.

Despite multiple orders and certifications from government agencies—including the Municipal Engineering Office, the Sangguniang Bayan, the Barangay, Department of Public Works and Highways and the Provincial Government of Rizal—confirming the public nature of the road, the illegal obstructions remain in place. The authorities' directives have been openly defied, putting public safety, emergency access, and community welfare at risk.

We have exhausted institutional channels and are now seeking media intervention to raise public awareness and compel accountability from the violators and responsible agencies. Rappler has a history of exposing injustice and amplifying voices that are silenced. This is not just a local land dispute—this is about the right to safe, open, and unimpeded public access on a public infrastructure (Public Road/ Local Road)
.I would be grateful if anyone can refer this issue to any rappler investigative journalist who will be willing to go on-site to document the ongoing violations and help us restore what the law has already affirmed.
