Connecting to a Lifeline

Here is an old picture taken in 2002, showing an actual shot on illegal connection at Saint Joseph Subdivision. This activity was one of their regular illegal acts--to maintain a continuous lifeline for sucking out electric power which burdens some owners to pay more than what we consumed. It’s very ironic that MERALCO is lenient to this kind of activity and not doing a permanent solution to eliminate this illegal connection.

Opps! Have you read it? Yeah, your right! I just said “SOME” homeowners also committed an illegal connection and these people were penalized for paying around a couple thousands of pesos and that depends on the damaged they have done. Anyway, want I want to point is, that if you are a legitimate homeowner and caught from an illegal connection, these people are forced to pay twice the amount of what they have consumed, plus the possibility to get jailed.

What I don’t understand, why the hell those shanties were managed and escape from what the law have to serve for this kind of illegal activity. Are they politically immune? Or just because they were voters? WTF, we are also legitimate voters of Las Pinas City. C’mon don’t just rely on reports before making a move, because MERALCO is a corporation and have enough manpower to do that for them selves.

Make your KURYENTE WATCH campaign more meaningful rather than just displaying it in your website. Make a move and make a difference… and do not wait for someone else to shout and cry for help.
