00:00In the first month of 2025, it will be more painful in the pocket
00:06because of the high electricity bills that Maris O'Malley is facing.
00:13One of the most lively streets, especially during Christmas,
00:18is Polycarpio Street in Mandaluyong City
00:20because of the high number of lights that illuminate the streets
00:23and cover the houses.
00:25This is a house where the walls are almost falling down
00:29because of the high number of lights.
00:31And this year, they added more lights to the trees and towers.
00:36The residents here are preparing their pockets
00:39after the Energy Regulatory Commission or ERC announced
00:43that the electricity bill will increase in January 2025.
00:47Even though it's painful in the pocket,
00:48the residents said that they will endure it.
00:51They can only bring joy this Christmas.
00:53Sometimes during the year, during Christmas,
00:56during Christmas, it's really happier.
00:59When?
00:59When there are a lot of lights.
01:01Since January 2025, the electricity bill will increase.
01:05After the ERC allowed the consumers to recover,
01:09more than Php 3 billion was paid
01:11to the Ancillary Services of the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines
01:15last February.
01:16The result, there was an increase of 12 cents per kilowatt hour in Luzon
01:21within 3 months and 6 months in Visayas.
01:25In Mindanao, 3 cents per kilowatt hour was added within 3 months.
01:29The added cents will reflect
01:31on the transmission charge that will be seen in your electricity bill.
01:34The group of residents first responded to the NGCP's request
01:38to protest the power rate hike.
01:40Stop the electricity bill later
01:42because we want to see how the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines
01:50is computing the computation that they are saying.
01:53But in order for the Christmas lights to not go out,
01:56Norma Lem, one of the OGs who lights up the entire house on Policarpio Street,
02:01has come up with a solution.
02:03I already prepared that.
02:04That's why our Christmas lights are not all 12 volts.
02:10That's why it's very weak.
02:13We need to make people happy
02:15so that life is sad and you won't be happy, right?
02:20We need to spend a little
02:22so that we can give happiness to the people who will come here.
02:27For GMA Integrated News, Maryse Umali-Nactutok, 24 Hours.
