A SELFISH move leading into a BLACKOUT


Recently the Meralco had a price increase in power charges, a Php 4.15 increase per kilowatt-hour (kWh), which causes a lot of violent reactions.

For me it was unfair, a four pesos increase will affect everyone greatly, especially for those who barely make ends meet.  What will they do if they can’t afford to pay for their electricity bills? Start living in the dark with a single candle that illuminates their whole house. That’s bull. They won’t think of the consequences that this will cause to the consumers and how they will suffer. They only think of themselves and how this step won’t lose them any money. That is completely selfish if you ask me.

If they want to complain about the generation charge blowing up then they should capture those people who are using electricity illegally or those who “jumper”. They should not ignore those then pass to the legal consumer the loss that they are experiencing, they should do an action and not just stand and watch then if they will lose some money they will just hand the expenses to the consumer to ensure their profit.

The TRO filed against this was a fair decision to stop their unreasonable price hike. I hope this TRO will help the heads of Meralco rethink their decision and maybe be reasonable enough to change it.
