00:00Even the LRT line is now connected to a jumper.
00:04This was seen in the operation where 100 kilos of illegal cables were caught in 50 houses and stores.
00:12Jonathan Andal was there.
00:17The people of Miralco were allowed to enter this corner in Barangay 145 in Pasay.
00:24But when they arrived, the cables that were attached to the Miralco line were already pulled out.
00:40But there were still some illegal cables left, like this one that was traced on a latch inside the house.
00:46There were also some that were still attached to the post, some were thrown on the roof,
00:50some were still hanging inside the corners, and some were still buried under the cement and soil.
00:58If you follow this road, you will reach the other house.
01:05Then they let one of the hosts pass by.
01:07There.
01:08You will reach your neighbors.
01:10Even the power line of the LRT in Baclaran Station was also attached to those who were stealing electricity.
01:17It was covered with tape earlier.
01:20There were tapping points on the load side of the LRT Metro.
01:24At the same time, they said that they were the ones who were being harassed by the illegals.
01:29The LRT's complaint is the reason why Miralco operated earlier in Barangay Baclaran in Paranaque
01:36and in Barangay 145 in Pasay, which was burned down by the houses last Friday.
01:41Father Rolando, whose name was also confirmed, was only forced to use a jumper
01:45because Miralco was not yet returning the supply of electricity to their house after the fire.
01:51He also said that his jumper was broken.
01:53We know that it's wrong.
01:54We were forced to use it just now because the jumper was screaming that it's really hot.
02:03That's what we're asking now.
02:04When will we get our electricity back?
02:06We will force them to return their electricity.
02:11We will attach a meter.
02:13Alias Tekla admitted that she had been using a jumper for more than a decade because her budget was running out.
02:19I know that it's wrong.
02:20We were forced to use it just now because it's hard to earn money.
02:26That's why anyone was forced to use it.
02:29In Miralco, they only pay the bill deposit.
02:33That's around P1,580.
02:35The contractor is already included there because the Metro is not paid.
02:39Let's say they have debts in Miralco, we can offer an installment.
02:43Legal is cheaper than illegal.
02:47Miralco said that they will complain if they see someone wearing a jumper
02:50because the consumption of electricity will be passed on to illegal customers
02:55who will benefit from your electric bill under the System Laws.
02:59Just so we can lower the System Laws,
03:02I hope they will be encouraged not to be illegal and to complain to those who are illegal.
03:07If there are illegal customers, we will help them apply.
03:13After the operation, Miralco purchased 100 kilos of illegal cables
03:19from 40 houses and 10 stores.
03:22If there is an additional or overloading, it can be the cost of a fire.
03:28The income of the jumper is possible to be paid under the Anti-Pelferage Law
03:33that has a fine of up to P20,000 or imprisonment of up to 12 years.
03:39For GMA Integrated News, Jonathan Andal, Nakatutok, 24 Hours.
