Nowadays,we notice that there has been an excessive rates on our electrical bills. This affects our daily lives due to power rate charges in electricity which we use in everyday necessities. The management of the Meralco abuses its power to the people that is why the Government Service Insurance System wants to change the people in charge of MERALCO so that the power rate will go down and ease the burden of the people.
Winston Garcia as the president of the GSIS strongly opposes the MERALCO'S way of increasing the rate charges. In his point of view, MERALCO should not burden the consumers especially now everything is increasing. Unless the managament is changed, the hard-earned money of the people will be spent more on electric bill charges than the basic necessities of life.
This issue will lead to a court and it is expected that the board will elect new members for the position. The GSIS wants to take over the management of the MERALCO so that fairness can be given to the consumers. Garcia will file an estafa case to MERALCO for overcharging the citizens.
On the other hand, the people believe that Garcia would only pave the way for the government to monopolize power distribution. We just hope that the MERALCO will not continue to burden the public due to their systems lost for that would be unfair for us.
Well what will happen to us if everything will just rise up? It can lead to staggering cost of living. The MERALCO should realize their various effects on the lives of the people.
I agree. By raising the prices even more, it makes the cost of everyday living even more unbearable than it already was. Eventually, the price will be too high and we wouldn't be able to afford any of this any more.
ReplyDeleteRegarding the government attempting to take control of the energy distribution, you're absolutely correct. It is a ploy to monopolize the power rates. Should the government take control, the power rates will increase at an unbelievable rate.
What MERALCO should do is to take a long look at what increasing the rates will do to our country. Our future is on the line here. Don't mess it up.
