Crews on standby 24/7 to ensure uninterrupted service across all summit venues
With the Philippines set to host the 49th Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) Summit and Related Summits, Manuel V. Pangilinan-led Manila Electric Company (Meralco) assured customers of reliable electricity power, with crews and personnel on round-the-clock standby across its franchise area to respond to any service concern.
In close coordination with the Department of Energy’s Task Force on Energy Resiliency, the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines, and the National Intelligence Coordinating Agency, Meralco inspected ASEAN Summit venues in Pasay, Manila and Makati to ensure that critical facilities are in good condition and avoid any disruptions throughout the upcoming high-level regional gathering.
“As part of our continuing commitment to providing reliable power service, we have completed facility inspections, secured the necessary clearances for our personnel, and strategically positioned standby crews and equipment in preparation for the ASEAN Summit. These measures will allow us to respond promptly to any power-related concerns and support the reliable operation of facilities within our service area during the event,” said Meralco Senior Vice President and Head of Networks Froilan J. Savet.
Meralco is working closely with government and industry partners to help ensure the summit’s success.
“Supporting this important regional event reflects Meralco’s commitment to nation building. We stand ready to help ensure the safe and successful conduct of the summit as well as a productive experience for all its delegates and participants,” Savet added.
