‘PINAGBABAYAD NA NGA TAYO NG SYSTEMS LOSS NA HINDI NATIN NAPAKINABANGAN TAPOS PAGBABAYARIN PA TAYO NG BUWIS DITO’
READ: Senator Risa Hontiveros files a bill seeking to remove the value-added tax (VAT) on the systems loss charges being passed on to consumers.
“Itong VAT sa systems loss ay dobleng pasakit at insulto: Pinagbabayad na nga tayo ng systems loss na hindi natin napakinabangan, tapos pagbabayarin pa tayo ng buwis dito. We must immediately end this unfair arrangement, especially now that electricity costs are going up,” Hontiveros said.
She added that she is planning other legislative measures to help power consumers who have recently experienced bill shock. | @eimorpsantos
@ACDload the senate pa rin mainly responsible if hindi masa-subject for permanent disqualification. all of the evidence is there and so clear to make her permanently banned to hold any government position.
Ayon mismo sa Meralco, umabot sa ₱50.6B ang consolidated core net income nila noong 2025.
Bilang monopoly franchise, protektado ang mga electric companies sa kompetisyon at may garantisadong kita. May pribilehiyo silang ipinagkaloob ng gobyerno, kaya dapat may obligasyon din sila sa publiko.
Panawagan natin: Ang mga electric companies na ang sumalo sa "pass-through costs" tulad ng Lifeline Rate discount para sa 4Ps beneficiaries. Hindi makatarungan na consumers at taxpayers ang pumapasan nito, lalo na sa gitna ng krisis.
We call for a review of the Electric Power Industry Reform Act of 2001 (EPIRA Law or RA 9136) and the rules of the Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC), which have made it legal for electric companies to charge "pass-through costs" to consumers.

The office of Senator Bato Dela Rosa will "consider" the call of not getting Bato's salary and allowances due to his absences.
Think about that for a minute.
A top absentee is still being paid by taxpayers 10-15x what the average Filipino worker gets, and the Senate is powerless to sanction his absences as it is not in their rules. Kalokohan.
Yung ordinaryong manggagawa, no work no pay. Bawat minuto na late, kadalasan makakaltas. Sila na mga public servant, hindi mapanagot dahil wala sa batas (na sila din ang gumagawa) yung common sense na pag di ka pumasok sa trabaho na hindi approved ang leave, dapat may parusa.
Kung binoto mo ito na senador nung huling eleksyon, pagisipan mo mabuti kung ganitong klase ng public servant ang gusto mo. Maging mas mapanuri at bumoto ng mas maayos sa 2028.
what baffles me as an iska is that may mga tao pala talagang mas pipiliin 'yung danas na hirap sa isang state u para lang magclout 😭 kasi kung may choice lang ako pumili, i will pick a school na may siguradong classroom, may signal, at may proper ventilation
Gets niyo na bakit kailangan ituloy ang impeachment process sa panahon ng krisis, mga ka-DDS? Parang flood control scandal din ito - dapat tayo nakikinabang pero hindi nangyayari iyon dahil sa mga magnanakaw.
Vice President Sara Duterte called the attention of the Office of the President for what she calls ‘last-minute’ issuance of her travel authority, saying that her plans have changed “due to uncertainty whether I will be permitted to depart.”
"You will be receiving a new request soon. Please ensure that the necessary documents be processed and issued promptly, allowing sufficient time for travel preparations rather than only a few hours before the intended departure,” she said. (📷: OVP) | via @HarleneDelgado
BREAKING: The Anti-Money Laundering Council confirms over 630 covered transaction reports (CTRs) and 33 suspicious transaction reports (STRs) linked to Vice President Sara Duterte and her husband, amounting to over P6 billion.
Remember yung atat na atat mag-presidente may ₱448 million na pera ng bayan na inuutos ng COA na isauli. If you’re wondering why mahirap ang Pinas, there’s your answer.
Kayang ibaba ang Value Added Tax (VAT) mula 12% to 10%—nang hindi pinapabayaan ang serbisyo publiko ng gobyerno—kung may "rebalancing".
Imbes na itax nang mataas ang mga pangunahing pangangailangan, maaaring itaas ang buwis sa mga bisyo tulad ng sugal, sigarilyo, at alak. Maaari rin dagdagan ang ambag ng mga bilyonaryo sa pamamagitan ng Wealth Tax.
Pero higit sa lahat, dapat habulin at bawiin ang perang ninakaw ng mga korap na opisyal!
