MANILA Electric Co. (Meralco) is resuming power disconnection within its franchise area after the government placed Metro Manila and nearby provinces under a less strict lockdown level.
In a press release issued on Saturday, Meralco has assured customers that it will be “very considerate and compassionate” in managing unpaid, overdue bills.
Until end-May, most of the power provider’s customers will be under a general community quarantine (GCQ) “with heightened restrictions.”
The firm said that those who are having a difficult time in fully paying their overdue bills, may get in touch with Meralco “so that a lighter schedule may be arranged.”
