THE Water for all Refund Movement (WARM) on Wednesday claimed that Manila Water collected P1 billion from its customers for the Pinugay project, which the group called a “white elephant” because the facility remained unfinished and not operational.

WARM President Rodolfo Javellana said that the project covers the development of three hectares of land in Baras, Rizal province into a water system but only 1.7 hectares have been finished so far.
