Request for Government Investigation on Sudden High Electric Bills from Meralco


Request for Government Investigation on Sudden High Electric Bills from Meralco
The Issue
Many households are experiencing sudden and unusually high electricity bills despite having no major changes in appliance usage or household consumption habits.
In some cases, monthly consumption suddenly spikes far beyond previous months, causing extreme financial burden on ordinary Filipino families. Customers often feel forced to settle these bills because disconnection is possible if payment is delayed.
We respectfully request:
A formal government investigation into unexplained electricity bill spikes
Independent audits of meter readings and billing systems
Greater transparency in electricity bill computation
Easier dispute and review processes for consumers
Protection for consumers while billing disputes are ongoing
This petition is not intended to attack any company unfairly. Our goal is to ensure transparency, accountability, and consumer protection for all customers.
If you or someone you know experienced similar sudden increases in electric bills, please sign and share this petition.
