Mounting complaints against Villar-owned Primewater are no longer just local gripes—they’ve sparked national outrage, calls for a Palace-led investigation, and a possible mass termination of joint venture agreements with water districts.
President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. is now being urged by consumer groups and local officials to investigate Primewater’s contracts, citing chronic service failures across cities like Bacoor, Iloilo, and Mabalacat. Discolored tap water, long service interruptions, and unaddressed complaints are no longer isolated issues—they’re a systemic crisis tied to a company under the Villar brand.
This puts Camille Villar, a senatorial hopeful in the 2025 elections, in politically murky waters. Though she isn’t directly running Primewater, her family’s control of the company has made her a symbol of elite-backed privatization gone wrong. With more local governments reportedly eyeing the termination of joint venture deals with Primewater, the backlash is gaining momentum—and public sentiment is turning.
In a campaign season driven by calls for transparency and better basic services, Primewater’s failure could cost Camille Villar more than just votes—it could define her political future.
