What the world has gone into?
News says: Metro hit by power outages
But aren’t we hit already? Take an example last week, MERALCO declared that they would increase the bill charges P1.73 perkilowatt hour (kWh). What the effin’ craze is that? Recently they just adjusted the meter to let the consumers know they care. As if it taking its toll now they are re-adjusting and according to management: not a Meralco rate increase but merely to recover adjustments in both the December 2006 and January 2007 generation and system loss charges,” says Meralco president and chief operating officer Jesus P. Francisco.
WOW! As in wow!
They lower it down to ¼ of the charges then charges back thrice of what they lowered it down to. Very nice move. Subtle and very substantial.
Now with the submerging issue of a damaged transformer in the Dolores, Rizal substation, they would rotationally shut down;Mandaluyong, Pasig, Marikina, Taguig and Quezon City, Cainta, Angono, Taytay, Binangonan, Antipolo, San Mateo and Rodriguez, all in Rizal province.
And according to them this is to avoid a metro wide black out affecting all cities. What a craze, right? With the El Ninoconvergence and the ever eclectic weather we have. What will become of us? Personally I may not have the biggest qualms in this infestations but try to think of those small-sized establishments plus the stores who mainly generates their income through meager utmost.
Yet twice in 1-day with a 3-hour interval is a bit of nuisance even to the simplest being requiring electricity to move on with his life. Damn!
Good luck that is!
The only thing we can do now is prepare. Just that.
