One Meralco Foundation set to mobilize relief efforts in disaster-stricken areas
The Manila Electric Company (Meralco) has restored electricity to nearly all customers that experienced service interrup:ons due to the enhanced southwest monsoon (Habagat), which affected the distributor’s franchise area.
Following round-the-clock work of its crews and personnel, the number of remaining affected customers have gone down to the last 2,800 —represen:ng less than 1% of Meralco’s total customer base. Over 1,000 of these remaining outages are in flooded areas and most of the remaining affected customers are in parts of Metro Manila, Cavite, and Bulacan.
“Our crews and personnel con:nue to work :relessly complete power restora:on to the remaining customers. We thank our customers for their pa:ence and their help in repor:ng outages in their areas, which allowed us to expedite restora:on efforts,” Meralco Vice President and Head of Corporate Communica:ons Joe R. Zaldarriaga said.
Meanwhile, Meralco’s corporate social responsibility arm One Meralco Founda:on has begun preparing relief packs for distribu:on to families affected by the heavy rains and floods. In the coming days, the Founda:on — along with Meralco employee-volunteers — will reach out to disaster-stricken individuals and families to provide assistance.
