  .. hindi na yata ganyan yan ngayon. yung meralco, bumibili ng kuryente sa WESM (Wholesale Electricity Spot Market ), tapos dini-distribute naman sa mga consumers. yan yung mga power plant na naka-konekta sa luzon grid. walang kinalamana yung mga planta sa visayas saka sa mindanao. kaya kung may kakilala kayo sa visaya\'s, magugulat kayo, mas mababa yung kuryente nila.

  Monopoly in power industry behind rate hike; EPIRA review and state control imperative
  
  Because the power industry is monopolized by only a few players, collusion is expected. Only five companies control 80% of power capacity in the country: Cojuangco/SMC (22%), Aboitiz (20%), Lopez (18%), Ty (12%) and Consunji (8%). These same firms own the plants with allegedly coordinated forced outages including Ilijan (Cojuangco/SMC), San Lorenzo (Lopez) and Calaca (Consunji); the other two plants are GN Power (Ayala) and Masinloc (AES).
  
  The record rate hike results from the Electric Power Industry Reform Act (EPIRA), which resulted in the privatization and deregulation of the power industry. With EPIRA, private corporate profits are given absolute priority over consumer welfare and economic development, while the state steps aside. Low and stable electricity charges are necessary to safeguard the welfare of poor consumers and support domestic industry especially small and medium Filipino enterprises which are still developing.
