Time to say Goodbye

I didn’t think this day would come—but here I am, writing my final words in a chapter that’s lived in my heart for sixteen long years.

[gracessgrace @gracessgrace]

@ConvergeSupport see you are sending me canned responses. all you had to do was check the schedule since i raised this concern as early as July 11. so what seems to be the issue? you do not have access or control to the tech team?

[gracessgrace @gracessgrace]

@ConvergeSupport any update Here is my case number 12992896.

This is the 3rd day with no internet

[gracessgrace @gracessgrace]

@ConvergeSupport The problem is i have already pm you but it serms a simple answer as to when the tech team will be able to go to my area cannot even be answered. So what do you want me to do???

[gracessgrace @gracessgrace]

@ConvergeSupport I did but until now i haven't gotten any reply as to when the tech team will come to my area so i had to post here

[gracessgrace @gracessgrace]

@meralco is there a scheduled power interruption or any issue in Las Pinas area?

[Informed PH @informedph2]

Saw this post from Antonette Aquino on Facebook - sharing it here. This is what she said:

No, I did not leave the aircon running 24/7.
My Meralco bill came in at ₱9,791.78. So let me break it down because nobody else will.

Generation charge alone is ₱5,266.66. That’s 54% of my entire bill. Meralco’s actual cut? ₱1,730.98. And that number hasn’t moved since 2022. What keeps going up is everything sitting on top of it.

Here’s what’s actually eating your money:

System Loss — ₱486.83
You are paying for stolen electricity. Illegal connections, meter tampering, jumpers. Republic Act 7832 lets Meralco pass the cost of electricity theft straight to paying customers.

Universal Charges — ₱201.96
Part of this goes toward paying off the National Power Corporation’s debts. Old debts. From decisions made before most of us were even working.

Government Taxes — ₱989.81
The 12% VAT is not just on what you consumed. It’s stacked on top of every other charge, including the subsidies you’re already paying for. So yes, you are paying tax on stolen electricity. Tax on an old government debt. Tax on a subsidy you do not even benefit from.

FiT-All and GEA-All — ₱149.59 combined
Two separate renewable energy levies running at the same time. The second one was quietly added to bills in February 2026. Both government-mandated. Neither one is optional.

FYI..none of this is illegal. It’s all backed by law. But legal and fair are not the same thing.

The middle class does not steal electricity. We do not qualify for lifeline rates. We do not get 4Ps. We just pay full VAT, fund everyone else’s discounts, and absorb costs that should never have been ours to begin with. Every month. Without relief.

What actually needs to change:
1. Reform the generation charge. One line item cannot be more than half your bill and go unchallenged.
2. Stop passing system loss to consumers. Other countries make the utility absorb it. We should demand the same.
3. Move faster on renewables. Lower generation costs long-term. That transition is already overdue.

[gracessgrace @gracessgrace]

I still believe in love.
I still believe in miracles.
But I know now—some prayers aren’t answered the way we expect.

So this is goodbye. Quiet, respectful, and full of grace.
No regrets.
Just love—folded gently into the night.

Time to say Goodbye

I didn’t think this day would come—but here I am, writing my final words in a chapter that’s lived in my heart for sixteen long years.

[gracessgrace @gracessgrace]

I started this journey with hope, believing that maybe, just maybe, it would lead us back to each other. But tonight, I surrender. Not with bitterness. But with reverence. Because some stories don’t end in reunion. They end in release.

[gracessgrace @gracessgrace]

So tonight, I say goodbye.
Not bitterly. Not broken.
But braver, quieter, stronger.

Because now I know:
Sometimes love means staying.
But sometimes—love means releasing.

And this time, love is…
walking away with grace.

[gracessgrace @gracessgrace]

The Answer

I asked God for a sign.

For sixteen years, I held a prayer—sometimes whispered through tears, sometimes hidden in laughter. I asked, I waited, I hoped.

[gracessgrace @gracessgrace]

You see, I believed with my whole heart.
I poured love into empty spaces.
I wrote, I prayed, I stayed—until the answer came.

And the answer was:
It’s time to let go.

It doesn’t erase what I felt.
It doesn’t make me foolish.
It just means this chapter was sacred—but not forever.
