00:00The shock is the customer of Miralco.
00:04The bill is now in April.
00:07The customer is now in April.
00:09The customer is now in April.
00:10The Meralco report is J.P. Soriano.
00:14It's not possible.
00:17The last bill is 6,000 to 9,000.
00:21My friend is 12,000 to 18,000.
00:25Hindi lang si Ola ang na-shock sa kanyang electric bill ngayong Abril.
00:30Pati ilang negosyo na sindak.
00:34Yung chicharge kami ni Meralco ng mata,
00:36hindi namin directly mapasa sa consumer.
00:38Mahawalan kami ng mga patrons.
00:40Ditong mga nakarang araw nga, marami raw ang tila na-shock
00:43sa laki na kanilang electric bill ngayong buwan
00:45at nabahala sa tila hindi raw maipaliwanag na dagdag singil sa kanilang kuryente.
00:50Una nang nag-abiso ang Meralco,
00:51natataas ng 53 centavos per kilowatt hour ang singil nila ngayong buwan.
00:56Lumobo raw ang generation charge,
00:58bunsud ng paghina ng piso kontra dolyar.
01:01Sa Mayo pa raw posibleng makita sa bill ang epekto ng gyera sa Middle East.
01:05The generation charge is likewise the main driver
01:10every time we announce a rate adjustment
01:13whether it's an increase or a decrease.
01:16Sa bill, pinakamalaki ang napupunta sa generation charge
01:20o bayad sa mga planta ng kuryente.
01:22May pagtaas din ngayong buwan sa transmission charge
01:25o bayad sa National Grid Corporation of the Philippines.
01:2812% lang daw ng sinisingil sa bill ang napupunta sa Meralco
01:32bilang distribution utility o tagahatid ng kuryente
01:35sa mga bahay at establishmento.
01:37Pero sa iba pang nakasaad sa bill tulad ng buwis,
01:40subsidy para sa senior citizens at four-piece,
01:44pondo sa renewable energy at kuryenteng nawawala
01:47o nasasayang, taas kilay ang ilang customer.
01:51Yung system loss.
01:53So hindi naman namin fault na may nawala sa system nila
01:56o sa generation nila.
01:58Ba't kami sasagot nun?
01:59Dapat ba sinisingil sa atin yun?
02:02Hindi.
02:03Galit na galit ako.
02:04Kawawa naman kami.
02:05Kami mga nagtatrabaho.
02:08E naghahanap buhay balat ng tinutulungan ng gobyerno.
02:12Hindi naman e.
02:13It's too much.
02:14Hindi ko ito'y bago.
02:16Tulad po ng universal charge at ng lifeline subsidy rate,
02:20higit na dalawang dekada na po sila sa bill.
02:23All these components of the bill
02:27have their basis in terms of law
02:29and subsequent regulations or guidelines
02:33issued by government entities.
02:36Kung hindi nabago ang pass-through charges,
02:39sabi ng Meralco.
02:40Tanong ng mga consumers,
02:41bakit hindi gobyerno ang sumalo sa mga yan?
02:44The wisdom under IPRA is that
02:48we all contribute a small amount
02:52to get electricity into these islands
02:57na hindi inaabutan ng grid.
03:00Under the RE law,
03:02ito po yung programa na fit
03:04yung green energy auction.
03:08So,
03:09para maging mura din yung kuryente natin,
03:11bakit may taxes pa ito?
03:14That's not something that DOE can decide
03:17that could be through legislation.
03:19Inusisa rin ang grupo ng power consumers
03:22kung tama ba ang kwenta ng mga power company.
03:25Wala bang sobrang paniningil?
03:27Kailangan magkaroon ng independent audit
03:29ng Commission on Audit.
03:31Wala pang tugon ng Meralco
03:33tungkol sa mungkahing audit.
03:35JP Soriano, GMA News.
