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.

@EasyTat do your semi-permanent tattoos have an expiration date? I purchased mine early last 2025 but am only able to use it now. Please let me know what to expect. Thanks!

Pray for us, O Holy Mary Mother of God 🤍

On December 8, the Church celebrates one of the most important feasts of Our Lady, the Feast of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

This is the day when we remember and celebrate that God chose Mary to be the Mother of Jesus from the very first moment of her being; the moment of her conception. 🙏🏻

[Yu💙 ŸÜ❄️ 道不同不相为谋 @YuXING1012]

In 2015, #YIXING became the first Chinese artist in SM Entertainment’s history to be granted the right to independently develop his career in China, entirely through his own effort. “It was ten full pages, I wanted the company to know that I was fully prepared to make this happen.” That was the courage, determination, and foresight of a 24-year-old Zhang Yixing, who already had a clear vision for the long-term growth of his career.

SM gained only benefits and profit from this arrangement, while Yixing had to risk everything, it was almost an all-or-nothing gamble. For an artist with no background or connections to return and develop alone in China, obstacles and hardships were inevitable. Yet brave, sincere, hardworking, and intelligent people who seize every opportunity are always favoured by fate.
Soon, he achieved his first phenomenal success on a variety show, all while continuing to take part in group comebacks, improving his skills, and never neglecting any of his roles.

When he first decided to take this path, almost everyone told him it was impossible. But he chose to go for it anyway, because his dream burned passionately within him, and because he had a destination of his own.

On the day he received the news that the contract had been approved, he went to the beach alone to make a wish, hoping that everything would start well, and that 2015 would go smoothly.

The beginning of a dream starts with the courage to dream and imagine, but it also takes determination, persistence, and hard work to make it real. No one can guarantee the outcome, and no one can foresee the future. Everything must be carried by oneself.

@layzhang became who he is today because of himself, and only himself. By constantly challenging, improving, and reinventing himself, he has remained at the MOUNTAIN TOP.

On the evening of Tuesday, 30 September, a strong earthquake struck the central region of the Philippines, particularly the province of Cebu and its neighboring provinces. I express my closeness to the dear Filipino people, and in particular I pray for those who are most severely affected by the consequences of the earthquake. Faced with any danger, let us remain united and supportive in our trust in God and in the intercession of our Blessed Mother.
