I will probably not understand the technical details of how the electric company explains 50% increase in most of the households’ electric bill, but this I know for sure: we have been prudent in our usage of things that makes the disc in the electric meter run.

Why, everyone is becoming more aware of their carbon footprint and would probably qualify for an energy auditor certification, lol!

Last month’s bill jumped a 50% increase while the current bill had 25% less. Still, I can’t say I am satisfied that the measures we took upon to lessen the consumption contributed to this decrease. Had we not done these, would we still have the same bill as last month’s? We use the same electrical appliances, no more, no less.

Interesting enough, more than 42,000 people signed up in the Protest against MERALCO electricity price hike in Facebook.

Yeah, price hike amidst daily power outages.
