WHEREAS, over 7,000 owners and/or users of unregistered or unauthorized water/sewer connections have already voluntarily disclosed the unregistered connections and applied for regularization thereof pursuant to Executive Order No. 57;

WHEREAS, Executive Order No. 57 only prescribes for a one-month period for regularization of unregistered water/sewer connections, the same to expire on 31 March 1993;

WHEREAS, there are still hundreds of such owners and/or users of unregistered connections who want to apply for regularization;

WHEREAS, the Metropolitan and Waterworks Sewerage System has received various requests from different quarters, principally from barangay officials in behalf of their constituents, for an extension of the regularization period;

WHEREAS, the more unregistered water/sewer connections regularized, the greater the increase in additional revenues for the MWSS;
