MERALCO insults our intelligence once again.....
Two or three days ago, the whole of Metro Manila was shattered by news that MERALCO will increase their rates, their highest increase so far, this year.....the reason given is that there is a shortage or a deficiency in some of their power sources or providers....so aside from not really having a choice, we accept their reasoning with some apprehension.
Well, today we, personally, were hit by 4 brown-outs, and it's just 7 p.m. now. The first one was about 15 minutes, the second one 3 hours, the third one, 30 minutes and the fourth one, 15 minutes...so all in all, a total of 4 hours, so far!
When I called their hotline, this was the answer given by...due to power shortage or deficiency in some of the plants, there will be a rotation of brown-outs for 3 hours at most, for each location....well, we've had 4 hours already.
This is my humble take on this standardized reason......poppycock and flimsy at its best!
When MERALCO surprised us with the sad news of an increased in power rates, and the reason behind it.....I assumed it was to make-up, or to fix the problem whatever it was.....they probably need more money to do whatever has to be done, again, "to fix the problem" and to prevent brown-outs.......but if we're still going to have daily brown-outs of at least 3 hours....then why the heck are we paying them more.
If you remember several years ago, at the height of the daily brown-outs, we were all surprised that despite the brown-outs, we were paying more for electricity,......for electricity that we never got to use. Are we suppose to expect this again......more brown-outs and higher power rates.
Their brilliant spin-masters will give us a highfalutin answer that will make it sound acceptable....but really all you need is enough common sense and an above average or even average head on your shoulders, to realize that they are pulling our legs once again and are out for obscene and insensitive profiteering!
We call on the government, esp. the Department of Energy to look into this...if we're going to have brown-outs anyway, then don't allow them to increase the power rates.
MERALCO....this is insulting, this is cruel, this is insensitive, this is actually criminal! SHAME ON ALL OF YOU...YOUR WHOLE BOARD AND YOUR NEW STOCK HOLDER!!!!
