00:00 It is possible that the bill for electricity will be raised again next month.
00:05 NGCP itself said that its seal for transmission of electricity could be raised
00:12 due to the cost of electricity and the problem with their tower.
00:17 Saksissi Maki Polido.
00:19 12 new towers of the National Grid Corporation in Cebu
00:26 were stolen by steel workers and sold in a junk shop.
00:29 Under the Anti-Pilferage Law, this amount is up to Php 100,000
00:33 and it is jailed for 12 to 20 years.
00:36 It is not just a simple matter that NGCP will replace.
00:41 There is a real danger of the transmission being stolen.
00:45 It is also possible for a disaster to happen.
00:49 In Batangas, NGCP's problem is the transfer of the court's position
00:54 of the two towers that are part of the Tuwi das Marinhas transmission line and substation project.
00:59 NGCP said that because of that, the project could be suspended for two years
01:03 and the 5,000 megawatts of electricity supply from the newly built plants will not be delivered.
01:09 Because all expenses are being transferred to consumers,
01:12 it means that the problems are possible to raise the electric bill.
01:16 We saw in the past few weeks that there are red alerts.
01:19 If NGCP does not finish the projects on time, it might go bankrupt.
01:25 NGCP estimates that Php 10 per kilowatt-hour can be added to the transmission charge in the next month.
01:33 This is what NGCP bought from the Reserve Bank of Corrientes in March
01:36 that was approved by the Energy Regulatory Commission.
01:40 If you consume Php 200 per kilowatt-hour per month,
01:43 it is possible to add Php 20 to the electric bill.
01:46 Meralco said that it will be sold to consumers and they will still compute.
01:50 Of course, there is a possibility that the overall rates will increase.
01:55 We still need to check the actual amount.
02:02 Like many, May does not know where the payment will go
02:05 because of the constant increase in electricity bills.
02:09 I hope our government will help us.
02:11 The increase in electricity bills is painful.
02:15 Instead of buying rice, paying for other things,
02:19 if this continues, what will happen?
02:21 For GMA Integrated News, I am Mackie Pulido, your "saksi."
