POWER distributor Manila Electric Co. (Meralco) has assured its customers that it is prepared to address any power concerns that may arise during the holiday break.
In a statement on Monday, Meralco said that its crews and personnel will remain on standby 24/7.
“We encourage our customers to do their part in ensuring a safe and joyful holiday season by practicing electrical safety. Rest assured, contingency measures are in place and our crews are prepared to respond to any possible electricity service concern,” said Meralco Vice-President and Head of Corporate Communications Joe R. Zaldarriaga.
The distribution utility reminded customers to observe safety precautions, such as unplugging Christmas lights and appliances when not in use and refraining from plugging multiple extension cords into one another to avoid overloaded outlets.
Meralco Business Centers will be closed on Christmas Eve (Dec. 24) and Christmas Day (Dec. 25), but customers can still report electricity service concerns through the MyMeralco app and Meralco’s official social media accounts. — Sheldeen Joy Talavera
