00:00The Manila Electric Company or Meralco announces Friday, April 10, a hike of more than 53 centavos
00:07per kilowatt hour this April. It says this is largely due to the weakening of the peso against
00:11the U.S. dollar. These adjustments have yet to reflect fuel price increases due to the Middle
00:16East conflict. Meantime, Energy Secretary Sharon Garin says her department suspended rules to
00:22lessen electricity production dependence on expensive fuels and increase the sources of
00:26renewable energy. She continues to call on Filipinos to conserve energy to make sure
00:31there will be no shortage.
00:33Hindi natin kontrolado po ang presyo, pero ang kontrolado po natin is our consumption
00:38and that can help our country talaga.
