(May 22, 2008) Chairman of Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC), Hon. Rodolfo Albano, talks about the alleged overcharging of Meralco on electricity rates during Usaping Balita media forum last May 22 at Serye Restaurant in Quezon Memorial Circle, Quezon City. He says that his organization is still reviewing the system loss (stolen electricity) being charged to customers. He hopes that they would have the results before he retires on July 10 this year.

(May 22, 2008) Deputy Minority Leader Congressman, Rep. Roilo Golez, suggests overhauling the accounting system of public utility companies like Meralco in solving the current controversy on overpricing of electricity rates during Usaping Balita media forum last May 22 at Serye Restaurant in Quezon Memorial Circle, Quezon City.
