I just saw our monthly electric bill for the period July 7 to August 7, 2007 posted on our refrigerator. My bill is also being sent to me through an email, just in case it’s not delivered or misplaced. My consumption was 315 kwh and the total amount due is P3,205.15 or P103.39 per day. The payment due date is on August 16, 2007.
The bill provides for a monthly consumption chart. My average usage for 12 month was 320 kwh or P99.53 per day. My highest was on May 2007 and the lowest on January 2007.
It also provides billing summary and metering information, which I just ignored.
I’m paying my electric bills to my bank through the phone or the internet. It’s convenient and hassle-free. You don’t have to go to and queue in the Meralco or its authorized bank or payment centers to pay. And, you could pay anytime of the day, any day of the week and at the convenience of your home or office. I could also pay even when I’m out of town or abroad through my cellphone or the internet. An Automatic Debit Arrangement (ADA) could also be arranged through an authorized bank.
The Manila Electric Company is A.K.A. MERALCO. But, did you know that MERALCO is an acronym for Manila Electric Railroad And Light COmpany, which was the company's original name from 1903 to 1919.

Reminder:
Pay your bill on time to avoid disconnection. If payment is not made on the due date, a "notice of disconnection" would be immediately sent the following day. However, payment can still be made within the grace period (I think it's 5 days) but with surcharge.
Hi, kami naman ang problema ko ay ang sobrang laki ng billing namin sa meralco. 7.8k ang last bill ko last feb. wala naman kaming computer shop, welding shop at kung anu- ano pa.. halos 1 year na ata akong nag babayad ng ganito dati almost 5k lang tolerable pa sya. pero nug malaman ko sa friend ko na may shop eh mas malaki pa yung bill ko parang nag lolokohan na lang ata.pero survey ko din dito sa amin kung alin ang may malaking electric bill..

hi tom,
i am not that blogspot savvy din eh…
kami naman naka-auto debit sa credit card halos lahat ng utilities. para one time big time na lang ang bayad. our highest electric bill was during summer. halos pantay lang ang march, april at may. ang init eh. kelangan talaga ng aircon kung di tataktak ang pawis.
