19 hours ago

Dagdag sa sala-salabat at buhol-buhol nang problema sa mga 'spaghetti wire' ang mga ilegal na koneksyon o ‘jumper’ kaya tinarget ang mga ito ng Meralco. Eh puwede kayang gawin din sa Metro Manila ang ginawa sa ilang probinsya na pagbabaon ng ilang kable sa ilalim ng lupa?

00:00The illegal connections or jumpers added to the mess and problems with the spaghetti wires.

00:08That's why Meralco targeted them.

00:11Can Metro Manila do what some provinces did

00:15by installing cables under the ground?

00:18Mark Salazar found out.

00:23These posts are common in Metro Manila.

00:26Mess and messy cables.

00:30It's a threat to the safety of the community and sometimes to the motorists.

00:34If there's a car passing by, like this one,

00:37the Wi-Fi is being pulled because sometimes there's a spark.

00:43These are not just electricity cables.

00:45There are also internet and CCTV cables in both posts.

00:49That's why this one almost gave up because of the weight it was carrying.

00:54In this place, the posts look like this.

00:57Where is Metro Manila where the orange cables are installed?

01:01They call this a spaghetti connection.

01:04Sometimes there's a spark of fire.

01:08We're scared.

01:09That used to be serious.

01:11It came from there.

01:13It got through here.

01:14It's a good thing it got through.

01:15It's really scary.

01:16The residents themselves say that sometimes the cables get thick

01:20in the posts that are not monitored.

01:22These are illegal connections or jumpers.

01:25There are a lot of jumpers here.

01:26There are a lot.

01:28Why did you say that?

01:30Because the lights are off.

01:31Is it easy to jump?

01:33It's easy.

01:34The electricity is cut off.

01:36How did you know?

01:37Did you jump?

01:38No.

01:39How did you know?

01:40I just heard it.

01:44It's dangerous.

01:45I'm in favor of the electricity being cut off.

01:48The jumpers were targeted by Meralco earlier

01:51in their anti-illegal wire attachment operations

01:54in FC Tuazon in Pateros.

01:56More than losing their income,

01:58the community is facing the risk of being burned

02:01if the jumpers are neglected.

02:03It's not just an eyesore,

02:04but public safety is also a concern

02:08if we don't fix this.

02:11Can we just install all the cables

02:14like what Heritage House did in Iloilo City?

02:18It was also done in BGEC in Taguig,

02:21a place in Quezon City,

02:23and even in Davao City.

02:25Meralco said that it's difficult

02:27in places like Metro Manila

02:29where there's no infrastructure underneath.

02:31It can be done if it can be done.

02:33But there are considerations involved

02:36like proper education,

02:40where it's feasible to install,

02:43urban planning,

02:45close coordination with the local government unit

02:49on the area where it can be implemented.

02:52It's expensive,

02:54which is why most of the time,

02:55a big developer is leading.

02:57If Meralco is full,

02:59will their customer pay

03:01at a higher per kilowatt hour rate?

03:03Of course, we don't want the cost of electricity to increase

03:07because at the end of the day,

03:09our mandate is the least cost principle.

03:11So all of these things you need to balance.

03:14For GMA Integrated News,

03:16Mark Salazar,

03:18for 24 Hours.
