PRESIDENT Rodrigo Duterte on Thursday said he will decide on the fate of water officials next month.

In an ambush interview, the President said he will make a decision “before April 15.”

Duterte directed officials of the Metropolitan Waterworks and Sewerage System, Maynilad and Manila Water to submit their report on the water shortage that affected parts of Metro Manila and Rizal Province on April 10.

“I will decide before April 15. What really happened? Who was responsible for it?” he told reporters.

The President said he would like to get to the bottom of the water crisis.

“Was there negligence or was there really something which is beyond the competence of the MWSS?” he said.

On Tuesday night, the President told MWSS officials to “shape out or ship out.” He also threatened to terminate the contracts of the two water concessionaires. RALPH U. VILLANUEVA
