FALSE ALLEGATIONS ARE VERY UNPRODUCTIVE

The allegations made against Meralco in a recent privilege speech by Congressman Dan Fernandez have quickly been debunked as false and appears to be an attempt by some parties to sow intrigue in the guise of addressing the high cost of electricity.

CitizenWatch Philippines has consistently been calling for strategic solutions that will effectively address the increasing demand for reliable and affordable power which is critical to sustaining economic growth. We believe that the focus should be on accelerating the building of the country’s power generation capacity that balances a sustainable and affordable energy mix.

We appeal to our legislators not to waste time, energy, and the limited resources of government on unproductive and politically motivated exercises that will only distract instead of contributing real solutions to our power and energy problems.
