00:00 It is possible that the current price will rise again next month

00:04 because of the order of the Energy Regulatory Commission

00:07 that the plants can be sold

00:10 the part that they sold as reserve power last March.

00:13 Here is my report.

00:15 Hazel La Chica is like a jackpot round in a contest.

00:21 But what she reveals is not the grand prize, but bills in Meralco.

00:26 Her usual 11,000 pesos bill in electricity reached 16,000 this month.

00:32 The neighbors in Quezon City are passing their bills through the fence

00:39 and where they will get payment from Judith or Juday of Bayaran.

00:43 Show him the receipt.

00:46 You know, show him how much you received.

00:48 His mother will be surprised. She'll say, "Why did you buy from me?"

00:51 And then, ask him where he will get it from.

00:53 Oh my God!

00:55 It's really Judith.

00:58 It's not Marites, it's Judith.

00:59 The consumption of electricity is really high whenever it's hot

01:04 and the electric bill is expected to rise again because of the high bill.

01:08 The generation charge, transmission charge, taxes, and others have increased.

01:12 All of these will be passed and paid by consumers.

01:15 But it's not only Meralco that has a high bill.

01:18 In the survey of the Philippine Rural Electric Cooperatives,

01:20 31 cooperatives said that the bill is high.

01:24 Region 6 or Western Visayas and Region 1 or Ilocos Region are the most affected.

01:29 They are just distributors of electricity, collectors, and remitters.

01:33 We are just worried because consumers don't understand.

01:36 Some electric cooperatives are studying an installment plan for those who are struggling to pay.

01:41 Can this be done by Meralco?

01:43 We don't have that mechanism.

01:45 The high bill is possible to be followed for the next few months.

01:49 The Energy Regulatory Commission has allowed the bill to be passed

01:51 to cut 30% of the electricity plants that sold their reserve power last March.

01:57 The ERC suspended the bill because it's expensive to sell and it will affect the generation charge.

02:03 The ERC said that it will be felt in the June electric bill,

02:06 but the agency has yet to say how much.

02:10 Don't miss the latest updates.
