Meralco announces rate increase in August

Is anyone still surprised by these announcements?

“The Manila Electric Company (Meralco) will increase its August billing by 31 centavos per kilowatt hour,” reports Manila Bulletin.

The report explained: “The 31 centavos hike is comprised mainly of a generation charge of 23 centavos, taxes worth 6 centavos and other increases estimated at 3 centavos.”

Never mind the Meralco math which we can barely comprehend. It just all adds up to consumers paying more.
