Power Distribution

Power distribution in the Philippines is dominated by Meralco. Not surprising, since the company sells above 60% of all the power produced in the country. It has been around since 1903 and has passed from its American founders to the present Pilipino owners.

Recently, the company is on the headlines as a government bureaucrat paraded himself as the messiah of electricity prices. A lot of people were fooled, which is not surprising considering the lack of common knowledge of the average Pinoy on the subject.

What disturbed me enough to establish this blog is that some people are exporting their lack of knowledge in Cyberspace. As one who holds his engineering profession dear, this blogger will endeavor to correct the myths and misinformation that is prevalent in the communities (and in several other places in Cyberspace) that this blogger is a member of.

So let the games begin.
