If you recall the days when the government controlled the land’s utility companies, it was one of the toughest times. I remember how it was tough to get phones connected at our location or how hard it was to pay bills conveniently.

 

Not anymore to this day.

 

I took a picture of the Meralco payment center (electricity distributor), which was located minutes away where I live.  The utilities company, which was used to be controlled and managed by the Marcos Administration is operating far better now. Meralco is now run by the Lopezes who owns the biggest television network in the country, ABS-CBN. The Lopezes happen to be one of the staunchest enemies of the Marcoses. It’s a bitter-sweet justice for the Lopez family if you ask me.

 

They run the business professionally as you can see here in the pictures. Their accountability to the public is realistic because complaints are heard and services delivered in a fase and efficient way. (Note: This is not a paid Meralco blog. I'm writing about it in appreciation of the times)
