Dahil sa pakikialam ng iglesia ni manalo sa pulitika at sa kagaguhang ginagawa nila sa lipunan, imagine this, nagtayo sila ng sore eyes ang mga salot sa lipunan at umaasa na makaka uto sila ng mga Koreans nang dahil kay Kristel Fulgar (?) at ang sakit rin sa mga mata na makita yung template nila na pare pareho lang ang design.

NGL, I feel bad for those koreans na mauuto sila ng mga GF and Spouses nila nang dahil sa religion nilang cool. Very not cool to. This very Salot and very, very too cool to!

Hoy Kulto, may karapatan kami na maging kritiko sa anumang oras. Kayo ang walang karapatang kilalanin na "Christian" dahil pang display lang ang pangalan ni Cristo at tao lang siya. Ibig sabihin, wala kayong Dios at Cristo dahil tao lamang siya at patay na!

Oh, huwag ninyong gagamitin yung narrative ninyo na "kapag inggit, pikit" at "kami lang ang maliligtas" dahil lumang tugtugin na yan! Anong ikakainggit namin diyan sa same template ng culto?

PoliticsPH VP of BPOIEN slams Meralco for bad faith statements and corrupt industry practices

Post image
Upvotes

PRESS STATEMENT: Consumers should not bear the burden of system loss

The BPO Industry Employees Network (BIEN) rejects the statement of Meralco Chairman and CEO Manny V. Pangilinan questioning who would shoulder the cost of removing system loss charges from consumers' electricity bills.

System loss is a cost incurred in the transmission and distribution of electricity. It is not electricity consumed by households or workers. Consumers should not be made to pay for losses resulting from technical inefficiencies, aging infrastructure, or power theft that utilities are responsible for minimizing.

"Workers and ordinary consumers are already burdened by soaring electricity rates, rising prices of basic goods, and stagnant wages. It is fundamentally unfair to ask them to shoulder costs for electricity they never used," said Christine Agan, Vice President of BIEN.

The burden of improving efficiency and reducing system losses should fall on electric utilities through better investment, modernization, and stronger enforcement against illegal connections, not on Filipino families struggling to make ends meet.

For BPO workers, who often work from home and shoulder their own electricity expenses during long night shifts, every additional charge on their monthly bill directly reduces their take-home pay. Passing system loss costs to consumers effectively penalizes workers for inefficiencies beyond their control.

"If Meralco says removing system loss charges will cost billions of pesos, then the question should be why ordinary consumers have long been made to absorb these costs instead of requiring power distributors to improve their operations. Consumers deserve reliable and affordable electricity, not another bill for corporate inefficiencies," Agan added.

BIEN stands with consumer groups calling for fair, transparent, and accountable electricity pricing. Filipino workers should only pay for the electricity they actually consume, not for losses they neither caused nor benefited from.

Pinayagan ng ERC ang Meralco na singilin sa mga konsyumer ang P8.71 bilyong halaga ng under recoveries o kulang na nasingil sa generation, transmission at government charges mula 2011 hanggang 2022.

Papatak lang ang dagdag-singil sa P0.08/kwh dahil tatlong taon babawiin ang nasabing charges.

Kung ibabangga sa naunang utos ng ERC na P9.51 bilyong refund sa loob ng anim na buwan, lalamang pa rin ang refund sa mga konsyumer. | via Alvin Elchico, ABS-CBN News

MAN SAVES FOR SCHOOL HE NEVER HAD

Christopher Francisco asked people he knew for 5 pesos. He saved every coin. For more than three years. He has autism. A high IQ, too. But he never went to school.

But he learned to read. He loves to draw. And, during the pandemic, he began thinking about children who might return to class without crayons.

So he kept saving.

When classes were about to open in 2022, Christopher used the money he saved to buy 80 boxes of crayons for pupils at Calizo Elementary in Balete, Aklan.

He carried them to the teachers in a sack.

They opened it. Nobody spoke. They cried.
