00:00We are going back to F.C. Tuazon Street in Pateros, Manila, where Meralco's activities have just started.
00:10They are doing clearing operations in the areas that we can see, in Salabat and Nakalondong,
00:16the power cables here in Calinguito.
00:19The residents themselves went to Meralco to report the power cables in Nakalondong
00:27because they are always on guard for the safety of the residents
00:33because they might get hit by vehicles passing by.
00:37Of course, according to Meralco,
00:40illegal connections, jumpers,
00:44in addition to the theft of electricity that is happening there,
00:47it is possible for various accidents to occur there.
00:51And right now, Calinguito is closed for the operation that Meralco is doing.
00:57As the sun is rising, Meralco's operations have already started.
01:03Personally, I can't think of how to clean the power cables one by one.
01:14Sir, I have a quick question for you.
01:19What can you say about the power cables here?
01:22Yes, they are stored here in Barangay Tabacalera.
01:26That's why they really need to be removed.
01:27Did you report this yourself?
01:29Yes, we reported it.
01:30What are the complaints of the residents here?
01:32There are a lot of complaints. It's really difficult. It's dangerous.
01:35But are there jumpers here?
01:37There are no jumpers here.
01:39But there are cables here, right?
01:42They're dead, right?
01:43There are no cables.
01:46Only the PLDT has the right to do so.
01:48That's why they really need to be cleaned.
01:53Thank you very much.
01:54We were able to talk to Enrique Torres, Barangay Security Officer here in Pateros.
02:02Maybe they will continue their operation.
02:04Later, we will talk about the complaint of Meralco for their operation here in Pateros
02:10and also in other places in Metro Manila because of the dangerous jumpers of the Spaghetti Wires.
02:18That's all for the latest from Pateros.
02:21Let's go back to the studio.
