00:00Manila Electric Company or Meralco says some system loss is unavoidable when delivering electricity.
00:06This in response to President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.'s call for the removal of the charge from consumers' power bills during
00:12the president's fifth State of the Nation address.
00:14Meralco says it respects the president's policy direction but stresses that a certain level of technical loss is inherent in
00:21operating an electric distribution system.
00:24System loss refers to the difference between the electricity entering a distribution network and the amount eventually recorded and billed
00:30to customers.
00:31Overall, system loss charges account for about 5% of an average Meralco electricity bill.
00:36Hindi naman kasalanan ng consumer kung bakit nagkaroon ng systems loss. Kaya hindi naman tama na kailangan sila pa ang
00:45pagbabayarin dito.
00:46He called on lawmakers to immediately amend the Electric Power Industry Reform Act, or EPIRA, to prohibit passing system loss
00:53charges and the corresponding value-added tax on to consumers.
00:57Meralco says reforms to the EPIRA should protect consumers without weakening the ability of distribution utilities and electric cooperatives.
01:04Dino зас消 the leader, to prohibit anywhere anytime it is.
