Meralco addresses the 'bill shock' experienced by its customers following online complaints from residents over the high electricity bill they received this month

The Manila Electric Company on Friday addressed the"bill shock" experienced by its customers following online complaints from residents over the high electricity bill they received this month.

It said the electricity bill received in May may be significantly steeper compared to those from the past months. The electric service provider said the March and April bills were estimated based on the average daily consumption from December 2019, January 2020, and February 2020 — when customers typically consumed less electricity as the weather was significantly cooler.

Ang laki ng multiplier ng distribution charge. Ung adjustment from last month plus ung current, na add up then dun ginawang basis ng tier ng multiplier 🤬🤬🤬

meralco messaged na kayo sa fb, 3x dito sa Twitter. Wala kayong reply. Yung 24/7 nyo na hotline wala daw available agent. Magiwan lang daw ng voice message. Nagemail din sa inyo wala ring reply. Parang takot na takot kayo makipagusap.

I just saw Hungry Syrian Wanderer's vlog. P50+k bills for his business resto that's been closed during ECQ?! So how did that happen?/

Meralco imbis na makatulong nagpapahirap pa kayo sa laki ng bill namin. Wala nag reading tapos ibase nyo sa average consumption at higit sa lahat 2 months sarado ang mga establishments imbis na bumama lalong tumaas😡😡

As was before and now, no consumer protection? And the government and an agency would boast their effective effort in consumer protection, but, as 1 tweet post here, why the Philippines has the most expensive and the worst service in asean?

Numerical example pls. 'The May bill is a result of the actual kWh Consumption from the current meter reading, with adjustments already reflected from the previous estimated consumption. This total, which is already based on the true and actual readings...” meralco

OA ang kuryente.

Kylan Po maibibigay Ng meralco ung copy bills nmin from March to April & also ung month of May? Kc Po ayaw tnggpin Ng bayad center ung payments nmin dhil through call nlman nmin ung bill payments gusto nl my copy bill kmi from meralco,tnx.

Dapat ipasira rin ang meralco tulad ng abscbn

Meralco is charging us all our consumption at once in May, causing consumers to be charged for their usage at the highest applicable rate. As opposed to allocating the lower tier rates each month first. Check your bills!

i will expect 3 month coverage since i did not pay for march and april so plus may na.hindi ba ganon un? meralco-anyways valid na ung complaint pag compare nio ung bill nio sa actual reading nio. sa meter times 7.something

address? you're basically just telling us to live with it... this is a lot of BS! where's the formula used for this? Meralco

meralco di ba simple lang. Meter reading for May less last meter reading (March) = consumed electricity for the 2 months. Then, i-less nila yung nasa April bill sa May billing. Mahirap ba? Ano yung estimate na sinasabi?

No actual reading on our meter this May cycle. I am not lying, somebody is.

Fuckwits!

Doesn't really explain why meralco would charge closed businesses the same bill amount for when they're operational. No one was using the facilities during quarantine.

If Meralco based their billing on customers' average consumption, as they claimed, why is it that all customers are claiming that their billed doubled, mine tripled this May?

Take a picture of you eletric meters so that you have evidence.

So if the last time that my meter was checked last feb 28, the meter reading will make adjustmengs based on the last reading, correct? Current reading less previous reading? meralco

Incorrect. Only my April bill was an averaged bill. March bill the meter was read accurately. May bill is horrific.

walang tao sa bahay pano maaga nawalan ng pasok ang kids and decided to go home sa province. So walang tao sa bahay. How come x2 ang bill?!? Meralco wag nyo naman singilin samin ung mga sinabi nyong hindi nyo siningil na Below 50kw. Grabe yan! Pahirap kayo sa tao!

There’s no mention in this article of any error on the part of Meralco, is that right? I’ve seen the complaints here in twitter and they ALL say the same thing. I would love to hear Meralco’s take on this.

Ayan ang dapat pinapasara! Mga mapag samantala! meralco

Highest monthly bill ive ever had. Given wala naman pinag bago sa mga appliances na ginagamit namin.. sobra!!

Wala na nga kita mga tao pagsasamantalahan pa?!?!

MGA PUTANG INA NILA SOBRANG BASURA!!!!!

Shocking talaga.

Dapat inuna ung mag reading ng metro kesa billing for more accuracy.

X2 yung bill.. Galing nyo

meralco Hopefully may guidelines na din yung future readings kung paano gagawin.

Grabe talaga. And I am not buying the explanation given by Joe. In the end, magbabayad ka din... hay buhay... krisis na pinagsamantalahan ka pa ng Meralco.

Still doesn’t explain why Philippines has the most expensive and probably maintained electricity in Asia ...

meralco for cases wherein the kilowatts were based on an actual meter reading already THERE SHOULD BE NO 'ADJUSTMENTS OR ADDITIONALS' any more.

Pwede naman sana updated yung billing statement na inilagay nyo sa picture.

PUTANG INA NYO MERALCO TULOY PA RIN PANG GAGAGO NYO!

Grabe, we didn't work 4 a month na so, how can we pay our bill's na grabe ang laki? Bigla2x talaga!?!? Sobrang mali!!!!!!!!!👎👎👎

sinasamantala ng mga gago na yan.
