METRO Pacific Water (MPW) has launched the construction of the Metro Iloilo Desalination Facility, set to be the largest desalination facility in the Philippines. Iloilo City Mayor Jerry Treñas, Iloilo Gov. Arthur Defensor Jr., Metropac Water Investments Corp. (MPIC) Chairman Manuel Pangilinan, and Department of the Interior and Local Government Secretary Jonvic Remulla led the groundbreaking ceremony of the facility on Feb. 21, in Barangay Ingore, La Paz. MPW said the P5.5-billion state-of-the-art plant can convert 66.5 million liters of saltwater into potable water per day, addressing Iloilo's increasing demand for clean drinking water. Once operational, it is expected to benefit over 400,000 residents by providing Metro Iloilo residents a reliable and consistent water source using advanced reverse osmosis technology. MPW President Cristopher Andrew Pangilinan emphasized the company's commitment to providing sustainable water solutions to its Iloilo customers. https://www.manilatimes.net/2025/02/25/regions/largest-desalination-plant-in-philippines-to-rise-in-iloilo/2061262 (ICE SINGAPORE)
