Good news para sa publiko pagdating sa pagbabayad ng kuryente ngayong ini-implement ang modified enhanced community quarantine o MECQ.
In-extend ng Manila Electric Company (Meralco) ang suspension of disconnection activities hanggang April 30, 2021 o hanggang katapusan ng ipinatutupad ngayong MECQ.
Sakop ng MECQ ang Metro Manila, Rizal, Laguna, at Cavite, gayundin ang Santiago City, Abra, at Quirino.
Ayon sa Meralco, ito ay bilang tugon sa patuloy na kinahaharap na pandemya ng bansa.
“Given the ongoing pandemic situation and the latest quarantine measures, and always conscious of the challenges our customers are facing amid these trying times, we will continue to put on hold all disconnection activities until April 30, 2021,” ani Ferdinand Geluz, Meralco first vice president and chief commercial officer, nitong Lunes April 12, 2021.

Dugtong ni Geluz, umaasa silang ang “extension will help lessen the burden of our customers and provide enough relief and time for them to settle their bills.”
Gayunpaman, ipagpapatuloy ng Meralco ang operasyon nito sa kabila ng MECQ, kabilang ang bill delivery services at meter reading.
“Meralco crews will also continue to be on standby 24/7 to respond to any emergencies and reports,” ani Geluz.
