'WE WILL NOT SURVIVE'
Nagpahayag ng pagkabahala si Meralco Chairman and CEO Manny Pangilinan kaugnay sa posibleng pagsalo sa gastos kapag inialis ang systems loss charges.
“When you push electricity through copper wires, there'll be resistance. The longer the lines are, the more the resistance will be. It is not a question of inefficiency… There's a cost to it. So the real question is: Who bears the cost?” saad ng Meralco Chairman and CEO.
“The bill is too big for the industry to absorb all of it. So there has to be discussion. It's gonna impact the entire power industry in this country,” aniya.
Gayunpaman, tiniyak ni Pangilinan na handa silang makipagtulungan sa gobyenrno kaugnay ng isinusulong ni Pres. Bongbong Marcos na pagtanggal sa systems loss charges.
Makikipagtulungan din sila sa pamahalaan sa anumang kakailanganin tungkol sa pag-amyenda sa Electric Power Industry Reform Act (EPIRA).
Si Pangilinan ang chairman ng TV5 at Cignal.
