Meralco should fully waive the March bill of its customers instead of just merely extending the bill’s deadline, Bayan Muna chair Neri Colmenares said. | GabrielLaluINQ

Colmenares explained that Meralco can waive the March bill by refunding customers through the supposed P29.6 billion overrecovery of annual distribution charges, which stemmed from a reported lower energy sales in contrast to growing Meralco earnings from 2013 to 2018.“It would be better if these utilities especially Meralco to altogether waive their collections for this month. Besides Meralco has to refund P29.

Meralco last Monday decided to extend the bills as consumers cannot flock to payment centers due to the enhanced community quarantine placed by President Rodrigo Duterte over the entire Luzon.

GabrielLaluINQ lets just be thankful that meralco’s services are still available.. panu kung nag quarantine tayu tas walang kuryente tapos hihingin natin nang libre they also have employees working in this difficult times.. kakain din yun.. parang abuso na yata kung libre pa.. peace yow ✌️

GabrielLaluINQ Wow, that would be abusive don’t you think? Someone extends a hand to you, you say ThankYou. Don’t take the whole arm....Contentment

GabrielLaluINQ Ok lang naman yung pag-waive or kahit discounted na lang? Hehe. Sayang rin naman yung pwede nilang ipang-bigay sa employees nila. I dunno. Hmm. 🤔

GabrielLaluINQ I like this proposal though wont hold water since si Colmenares ito. Mga legit congressman and senators it's time for you to think and work

GabrielLaluINQ Makes more sense

GabrielLaluINQ Huwag naman. Kayo nga magtrabaho tapos walang sweldo. 15 days na hindi dumating nagagalit kayo. Let's be fair. Hindi charity ang services nila

GabrielLaluINQ Please

GabrielLaluINQ will they heed the call?

GabrielLaluINQ I second the motion

GabrielLaluINQ Yes
