Snooky sought assistance from the public service program CIA with BA to share her ongoing struggle with the delayed installation of their water meter from Maynilad. In the “Alan Aksyon Agad” segment, she recounted her experience.
Nag-apply po kami [para makabitan ng metro ng tubig] noong November. Tapos December po, binigyan kami ng resibo para makapagbayad na po. Nabayaran naman po namin, kaso hanggang ngayon, wala pa po kasing tubig,” Snooky said.
From December to March, her family had to rely on neighbors just to meet their daily water needs.
Responding promptly, Senator Alan Cayetano’s team, led by correspondent Larry, coordinated with Maynilad to investigate the cause of the delay.
“Kinausap kami ni Sir Joey at ng OIC nila. Inexplain nila kung bakit natagalan. Sabi nila, do’n sa area nila [Snooky], mahina ‘yung pressure ng tubig,” Larry explained. He added that Snooky’s account was already in the system, but Maynilad needed to replace the old meters in their area first before proceeding with new installations.
Upon reinvestigation, Maynilad found that it was possible to install the new meter directly in front of Snooky’s house. Finally, after months of waiting, their water meter was successfully installed.
The assistance didn’t stop there. Upon learning that Snooky’s family used to run a small store, Cayetano promised to help them restart their livelihood.
Together with the “King of Talk,” Boy Abunda, Senator Cayetano continues the legacy of his father, the late Senator Rene Cayetano through “CIA with BA.” The program airs every Sunday at 11 p.m. on GMA7, with replays on GTV every Saturday at 10:30 p.m.
