Justice Undersecretary Emmeline Aglipay-Villar on Thursday, December 12, denied allegations that her husband’s family has vested interest in the review of the government’s water concession agreements with Manila Water and Maynilad.

“The department conducted a disinterested review of the concession agreements and I don’t want to even dignify further by answering further accusations,” she told reporters at the sidelines of the 5th Manila International Dialogue on Human Trafficking held at the Manila Hotel.

Mrs. Villar responded to reports that the Villars could benefit from the review of the concession agreements since the family owns Prime Water Infrastructure Corporation. “It was the Secretary himself who conducted the review and who issued the memo regarding that to the President,” she said to reporters.

“Prior to that review there were already several provisions that were identified as being onerous and that was reported in the broadsheets and news and that’s why the President had asked the DOJ to conduct a more thorough review which was headed by the Secretary, not me,” she explained.
