Metro Pacific Water (MPW) plans to invest up to P23 billion over the next five years to upgrade and expand water services across the Philippines and Vietnam, the firm announced Tuesday.
The massive funding will go toward developing new water sources, building and upgrading treatment and distribution facilities, repairing aging pipelines, cutting non-revenue water losses, and rolling out modern technologies to make supply more reliable and efficient.
“Water security is economic security — this P23-billion investment is our commitment to building the infrastructure the next generation will depend on,” said MPW President and CEO Andrew Pangilinan. “When we started 15 years ago, our goal was a more water-secure future. That mission has only grown more urgent.”
Serving Communities Across Two Nations
In the Philippines, MPW currently supplies around 221,000 households in Iloilo, Dumaguete, and San Jose del Monte, Bulacan. Through joint ventures, it also runs bulk water operations in Iloilo and Cagayan de Oro. In Vietnam, the company serves industrial zones in Nghe An province via its local subsidiaries.
Combined daily production capacity now hits 798 million liters — a 20% jump from 2025 levels — driven by facility upgrades, reactivating underused assets, and tapping new water sources.
MPW is also deploying modular treatment systems, including reverse-osmosis for brackish and seawater, to quickly boost supply in water-scarce areas while larger infrastructure projects move forward. Its Metro Pacific Water Solutions arm holds top-tier contractor status and has completed over 700 sewage treatment plants nationwide.
Regional Growth & Long-Term Vision
“Our cross-country experience lets us combine local know-how with proven technologies across markets,” Pangilinan said. “As we enter our next 15 years, we’re building systems that will serve communities not just today, but for decades ahead.”
MPW is a fully owned subsidiary of Metro Pacific Investments Corp.
