You know what, if there are other electric company here in our country,our bills will be lower.
But because Meralco is like our sole provider of electricity here in the Philippines, They have so
many reasons to be incompetent, that's why we had been suffering with awfulness with their
services. Remember when we have no electricity for days and its freaking summer. Then our
electric bills are so high because they wanted us the consumers to pay for their own dept. Once
I have my solar panels, I will quit being their subscriber. This makes me wonder, why we don't
have any other electric company that provides electricity for our country? I am so sick of the
increasing electric bills.
