P0.85 per kilowatt hour will apply for MERALCO's extra charge this month in March.

In MERALCO's statement, P0.97 / kwh should have an extra charge this month.

But in order not to be too heavy for consumers, P0.12 / kwh will be in effect only in the next month of April, thus it will be added on the next monthly billing.

Due to such increase, consumers whose electricity consumption is 200 kilowatt hours per month has an additional P170 on the bill.

At P255, the consumption is 300 kilowatt hours per month, P340 is consuming 400 kilowatt hours per month and P425 is higher if consumption is 500 kilowatt hours per month.
