00:00Meralko will implement an additional charge this August.
00:04According to Meralko, the additional charge is P3 per kilowatt hour.
00:08This means that the additional charge is P7 for those consuming 200 kilowatt hours per month
00:14due to the increase in the transmission charge of the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines
00:18after buying a reserve of electricity.
00:21There are still expected additional charges for the coming months
00:24due to the non-completed NGCP transmission charges
00:28and the increase in the price of electricity from some plants purchased by Meralko.

00:37The rollback on gas is P2.45 per liter, P1.90 on diesel, and P2.40 on kerosene.
00:45One of the reasons is the decrease in the amount of oil imported by China
