Instead of promising housing for every Filipino family, Las Piñas Rep. and senatorial candidate Camille Villar should prioritize resolving the service of PrimeWater, which is owned by her family, according to entertainment reporter and talent manager Ogie Diaz.
“’Wag ka na po mangako ng pabahay para sa bawat pamilyang Pilipino. Baka pwedeng tulungan mo na lang ang mga kababayan mong magkaroon ng sapat at tuloy-tuloy na tubig mula sa Primewater na pag-aari din naman ninyo. Kawawa ang mga customers nyo po. Bigla tuloy nagkaroon ng Project Uhaw bilang pangtapal sa kahinaan at kamahalan ng singil ng Primewater,” Ogie said in a Facebook post.
Ogie expressed disappointment that the Villar company still hasn’t taken action on customer complaints from various parts of the country.
“Basic need ang tubig, pero wala pa ding aksyon ang pahirap na pagkuha ng tubig mula sa aandap-andap na mga gripo ng mga kababayan nyo.
“Juice ko, kahit nga sa Tagaytay, grabeng jakpatan din kung may tulo o wala. Ang mahal na nga ng singil, ang dalang pa ng tulo,” Ogie added.
According to Ogie, Camille’s candidacy is in jeopardy as more and more Filipinos have decided not to vote for her due to her inaction on the PrimeWater issue.
“May panahon pa para i-address nyo accordingly ang isyu. Again, hindi kailangan mangako ng pabahay. Tubig po. Tubig na ang kumpanya niyo po ang nangangasiwa, ang dapat niyong pakiusapan para ipanalo kayo,” he said.
Ms. Villar was earlier criticized by PrimeWater customers who said she should first address the problems of PrimeWater—such as water shortages, frequent service interruptions, and poor response to complaints—before making promises about improving the lives of Filipinos.
“Eto namang si Camille Villar: Aayusin daw ang buhay ng mga Pilipino. Teh, ayusin mo muna PrimeWater. Kaloka,” a certain Nash Nacion posted on X, referring to Villar’s campaign slogan.
That post ignited a flood of online complaints from PrimeWater customers in Tarlac, Camarines Norte, Cavite, Laguna, and Bulacan, who criticized the company for its failure to provide a steady and clean water supply.
