Huge MERALCO increase this month

Obviously, bumabawi na ang mga Lopezes kay Arroyo for allowing their boy Nolee de Cashtro to run with GMA and help her "win". At ang kawawa dito sa secret deal nato'y ang Filipino consumers. Fuck GMA and the Lopezes!

And I've done some calculations kung gaano kalaki ang increase ng binabayad natin. Compare the increase from last month (october) to this month (november), using 500 kWh as a given value. (Check calculations below)

Applying the October 2004 formula for calculating your MERALCO bill (using 500kwh), you pay Php 3482.94

Applying the November 2004 formula for calculating your bill (using 500kwh), you pay Php 4217.86

4217.86 - 3482.94 = Php 734.92

An increase of 734.92 pesos from last month or an increase of 21.1%. Take note, tumaas Generation Charge value.

Kaya pa bang mag-survive yung mga middle class kung patuloy na tumataas ang kuryente natin? there's talk na tataas pa rin next year ang singil sa kuryente. Sigurado ba sila na pang No. 2 lang ang Pilipinas sa most expensive electricity sa Asia? Baka pati Japan talo na rin sa atin.
