00:00Some of our countrymen are already discarding their electricity bills.

00:04Now, there's a rise in electricity bills that I think could be followed next month.

00:09First news live, Bea Pinla.

00:12Bea?

00:16Maris, the current electricity bill is at 15 centavos per kilowatt hour this September.

00:21That's why there's no electricity bill for this month.

00:24Some consumers are already going crazy.

00:26They're saying that they're going to save on electricity bills.

00:33Mang Teresito's family can't watch TV shows anymore

00:38because they're afraid that their electricity bills will go up.

00:43We'll just watch it on our phones so we can charge it.

00:48They're saying that they're going to save more this month

00:50because of the rise in electricity bills of 15 centavos per kilowatt hour.

00:55That's almost P31 for a bill that consumes 200 kilowatt hours per month.

01:01Meralco explained that it's because of the increased transmission charge.

01:06Meralco also added that in October,

01:09after the Energy Regulatory Commission approved the new fuel supply contract

01:15that will be passed on to consumers.

01:17People will pass it on.

01:19It's hard for people like us who don't have a good job.

01:23It's hard for us.

01:28We don't have a job.

01:30That's what they said.

01:31I'm just working on electricity.

01:33For the bakery owner, Kier, it's hard to save on electricity,

01:38especially since they're open 24 hours a day.

01:41What is their discard to save on electricity bills?

01:47If we don't use electricity, we just turn it off.

01:51Just like the refrigerator.

01:52The refrigerator doesn't have a lot of soft drinks at night.

01:57We just turn it off.

01:59We just open it in the morning when there are a lot of things to buy.

02:02But for some, it's not that easy to save on electricity.

02:07We only use ventilators and electricity.

02:10You can't just save on electricity, especially when it's hot.

02:13We only use ventilators.

02:15With just a ventilator, you can feed your family.

02:18You can use up to four ventilators.

02:21Even if it's high.

02:28Maris, it's hard to save on electricity.

02:31That's why we talked to some people.

02:33Aside from saving on electricity,

02:35they're willing to pay twice as much to save on electricity.

02:40And that's the first news from Navotas.

02:42Bea Upinla for GMA Integrated News.
