00:00There will be a big-time rollback.

00:02Some oil companies will start tomorrow,

00:04but at the same time of that announcement,

00:06Meralco will implement additional electricity bills this month.

00:11Let's find out how much Maki Pulido will invest.

00:17Because it's raining and it's very hot,

00:19the generation charge is expected to go down,

00:21which is expected to result in a lower electricity bill.

00:25The generation charge went down for the month of August,

00:28but because the National Grid Corporation's transmission charge went up,

00:32Meralco still added three cents per kilowatt-hour in the August billing.

00:38That's an additional seven pesos for those who consume 200 kilowatt-hours per month,

00:43and an additional 10 to 16 pesos for those who consume more than 200 kilowatt-hours per month.

00:48The increase in the transmission charge is due to the NGCP's purchased reserve of electricity.

00:53For this month, the ancillary service charges went up by more than 50 percent.

00:59Because the additional bills for electricity have not been completed,

01:02Edna always receives a disconnection notice.

01:05It's hard because when the payment ends,

01:11you have to pay the debt.

01:12If there's a bill, you have to pay the debt again.

01:15Some are expecting additional bills for the coming months

01:18because the NGCP still has unpaid transmission charges.

01:22The increase in the transmission charge also has an effect on the generation charge

01:27of Meralco's purchased reserve of electricity.

01:29We still don't know how much and when it will be transferred

01:33because the Energy Regulatory Commission is still waiting for a decision.

01:36Meralco is already preparing the customers.

01:40If the ERC approves the transfer, it will be affected by the increase in the generation charge.

01:46If there's an increase in the transmission charge,

01:48there will be a decrease in the price of oil starting tomorrow.

01:51The rollback in gas is 2 pesos and 45 centavos per liter,

01:551 peso and 90 centavos in diesel,

01:57and 2 pesos and 40 centavos in kerosene.

02:00One of the reasons is the decrease in the amount of oil being imported by China

02:04due to the slowdown of its economy.

02:06It's been five weeks since the last rollback.

02:09Let's manage our expectations.

02:11But some of the drivers we talked to didn't believe in the rollback.

02:15It's like a joke.

02:17It's just a joke.

02:18They're going to do a rollback.

02:19It's been a week.

02:20They're increasing again.

02:22It's even higher than before.

02:25There's nothing.

02:26You'll be surprised.

02:28It's higher again.

02:29The Department of Energy should understand that

02:32net importers of all kinds of oil are being imported by the Philippines.

02:35That's why it will only follow the price dictated by the international market.

02:39For GMA Integrated News, Macky Pulido, Nakatuto, 24 Hours.

02:47.
