00:00Dear viewers, the budget is now ready because the electricity bill will increase this month.
00:05That's more than 2 pesos per kilowatt-hour according to Meralco.
00:10That's equivalent to more than 400 pesos for those who consume 200 kilowatt-hours per month.
00:16According to Meralco, the biggest contribution to the increase in electricity bill is the increase in generation charge, transmission charge, and electricity bill.
00:24That means that from 9 pesos and 45 centavos last month, the electricity rate will be 11 pesos and 60 centavos per kilowatt-hour this July.
00:35Aside from the increase in generation charge, the consumer will also pay the deferred payment of 77 centavos per kilowatt-hour
00:44that will be charged to the electric bill every month from June to September.
00:49It is also possible that the payment will decrease in August due to the expected decrease in demand.
