Beyond its responsibility to power homes and communities, the Manila Electric Company also plays a vital role in promoting public safety as the country’s largest distribution utility.
As the Philippine capital marks its 453rd founding anniversary, Meralco reaffirms its commitment to promoting public safety among Manileños on top of delivering reliable, stable, and continuous electricity service at the least cost possible.Recently, the Metro Manila Council passed a resolution urging LGUs in the capital region to pass ordinances that would regulate the installation of telecommunication and electric wires in a bid to address dangling cables or “spaghetti” wires.
In Manila City alone, Meralco has conducted various wire-clearing operations to address urban blight. Recent operations were in Binondo, Quiapo, and Ermita where Meralco crews did not only address dangling and idle wires but also corrected leaning poles, and conducted maintenance works to ensure the integrity of distribution facilities.
Based on the joint inspection by Meralco and BFP, Baylon-Evangelista revealed that majority of the dangling and idle wires connected to the distribution utility’s poles are unauthorized telco and cable wires or foreign attachments. “The people walking on the streets no longer have to worry that the pole might fall because of the heavy wires attached to it. It’s good that Meralco regularly fixes their facilities,” he said in Tagalog.
