Peace Bro. I didn't mean to undermine other people's ideas. And you are right.

ennngk!!! wrong. Garcia's action doesn't mean he will intend to personally take over Meralco management. Dili na pwede ky GSIS president man cya. The best he can do only is recommend somebody who is more qualified than Francisco who unfortunately has no background on power generation & distribution. unya moagi pa na ug votation sa board.

ennngk! wrong again. COA cannot audit a corporate entity like Meralco. Ang COA sa government agencies ug LGU's ra na.

Peace too Bro. I really hope when the cloud clears, it is us the users who will benefit from this gubot.

murag gi imbestigar na man sa senado bro. i just dunno kung nagcge pa or naundang.

@ worldwide: ngano gud mka imbestigar diay c Winston sa uban like veco and davao light nga ang stake sa GSIS is only meralco ra man?

sakto ka nga dili ra Meralco ang hinungdan sa high rates but also Napocor. heck, even the spiraling oil prices ang dako gyud ug factor ani.

but his jurisdiction is only limited to Meralco due to GSIS shares. and nothing more.

you are right that his jurisdiction is only limited to meralco, but why blame only meralco? meralco may have management issues but if you are the accuser wouldnt it be prudent to know exactly what contributes to the high prices of power? while he cannot investigate, he can always take up the problematic factors to his boss, the president.

Bro, in this statement its clear your in favor of Winston`s move because you will gain something from it as a consumer. But what will future investors think now after this issue, they might be afraid to invest in our in return. Sayang kaayo ang future jobs nahatag nila for Filipinos. Pabor gyud ko mo ubos ang bayad sa kurente pero maayo unta naka kita si Garcia or ang atong goberno ug better way nga dili sad mahadlok mga investors sa Pilipinas. Kay nasugdan naman nila hala padayon sila sa ilang gibati karon kita mga Pilipino balik ta kayod para sa atong kaugalingon kay wala na gyud lain makatabang nato, ato ra gyud kaugalingong paninguha kay hapit ko maka ingon nga hopeless atong mga politiko karon nga nagpadagan sa atong goberno. Dili man unta ko ganahan mo surrender para sa Pilipinas pero mga balita paita gyud sa atong nasud oi. hehehehe!

right..i don't think 'ts all meralco's fault man sab ngano taas ang kuryente..ang meralco man tig-provide sa electricity but naa man TRANSCO ug NAPOCOR na tig-distribute..correct me if im wrong (kai mura bali ni cya)..hehe! ang uban dues sa electricity comes from "distribution costs" thingie nila that should be asked sa people from those distributing power companies..di man tanan BLAME ipasa sa Meralco..

dapat investigation ni..

Of course bro. As I've said earlier, dili ko proud ni Winston but from the job's point of view, uyon ko sa iyang gibuhat nga makig bangga siya Meralco. I don't care ug unsay iyang agenda basta lang mogamay akong bayranan sa kuryente. I am just pragmatic about this issue. Whaever personal dislikes I have on Winston, I don't couple it with business issues. Kasagaran gud dire nga posters bro akong personal opinion lang, emotional ra kaayo. Just because politically, Winston is perceived to be evil, dunay strings attached ang ilang pagtan-aw as gibuhat karon ni Winston sa Meralco shake-up. Ug ato bayang tan-awon ug maayo, sa wa pa mag banha ug maayo si winston wala mo offer ang Meralco nga ilang paubsan ang rate. Karon nangimbitar na gani silang Winston nga cooperate lang ta bai kay atong pagamyan ang rate. Ang tan-aw gud sa Meralco sa mga consumers bro mora ta ug mga bata ba nga mohilak gani taga-an ug kendi aron mohilum.

Going back to Winston G, if he wants to reduce electricity rate, he should target everyone involved in making the rates higher including the government he serve.

ang systms loss raman ang naa sa epira law pero ang pag gamit sa mga offices sa meralco nga libre ang kuryente. wala na sa balaod. ila nalang na gideclare nga systems loss.

I agree nga that seems to be a gray area in the implementation of what constitutes as systems loss . But let's face it , the cost to maintain electricity in ones operations is a cost that gets factored in , in the pricing of one's products diba? So whether it goes in as part of the distribution charge or goes in as part of systems loss it still gets passed on to the customer right? Wala man tingaliy negosyo nga ang ilang cost to operate dili nila irecover sa pricing.

@ giddyboy a big ennnngk to you too because on this one you are very wrong.

"THE National Association of Electricity Consumers for Reforms, Inc. (Nasecore) asked the Commission on Audit (COA) to implement the order of the Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC) to audit records of Manila Electric Co (Meralco) on the basis of Supreme Court decisions ordering it to refund P30 billion to its customers. " - Malaya - May 27, 2008. A similar news report appeared in the Inquirer and in Business world

And if you can please recheck my post I did not say that Mr. Garcia planned on managing Meralco in a personal capacity. I said he wanted to wrest control of Meralco which is what he wanted to do when he wanted a shareholders vote that would grant the GSIS majority control of the company.

So Mr. Giddy boy quit the ennnngk talk and lets stick to keeping a healthy , intelligent discussion going around.
