Abstract

On February 3, 1997, the east zone of the Manila Metropolitan Water and Sewerage System (MWSS) was taken over by the Manila Water Co (MWC), a newly created joint venture between the Ayala Corp, a large Filipino conglomerate; Bechtel Enterprises, Inc, an American engineering and construction firm; and United Utilities, a British utilities firm. At the time of privatization, MWSS was an inefficient, ineffective, and corrupt government agency. MWC must develop the employees and the assets acquired from MWSS to build a profitable firm. This case describes MWSS, the three partners in MWC,and also introduces Filemon Berba, the new CEO and president of MWC.
