Water industry in Metro Manila was privatized since 1997. It is operated, maintained and developed by Manila Water (MW) and Maynilad by 2 concession contracts for the Eastern and Western halves of Metro Manila. Metropolitan Waterworks and Sewerage System is government authority to manage activities of MW and Maynilad in Metro Manila, include water tariff. Water industry here mostly uses US/British measurement system. Market Segmentation By region: Luzon region of Philippines is the largest market for water treatment industries. Heavy penetration of industrialization in the metro Manila region was the key driver. Visayas region with the Cebu city was the second largest contributor. Mindanao region of Philippines has minimum contribution in water treatment due to high reliance of economy on agriculture and low industrial penetration By Industry: Electronics and semiconductor industry was the largest user of water treatment facilities in Philippines. More than half of the overall exports from Philippines by value come from this industry which demands high quality of water for manufacturing processes. It was followed by chemicals industry and food and beverages industry. Power sector due to high presence of coal based power plants was another major contributor in the industrial water and waste water treatment business. • Water collection, treatment and supply records highest labor productivity • •

The ratio of value added per worker, a simple measure of labor productivity, was estimated at PHP1.3 million per worker. The highest labor productivity among industries was recorded by water collection, treatment and supply valued at PHP1.4 million per worker. This was followed by treatment and disposal of non-hazardous and hazardous waste with respective labor productivity of PHP1.3 million and PHP0.8 million per worker.
