System Loss Ad

The free narrative of this section is inherently confusing. Sentence structures comprise inconsistent syntax, thus the point being raised could not be easily determined. MENDOZA I (PH) (talk) 06:10, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

The SEC registered name of Meralco is Manila Electric Company - not Manila Electric Railroad and Light Company. That was, however, the name of a predecessor company and the source of the acronym Meralco. I'm going to edit the opening sentence. Nick Nichols 02:00, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

I'm uncomfortable with these statements: "causing the Manila commuters to depend on the colorful Jeepney. This in effect, unfortunately, caused heavy traffic in the area over the decades." Sounds unsupported to me but I haven't changed them. Nick Nichols 02:00, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

I'll finish this when I can. Most of this comes from http://www.fundinguniverse.com/company-histories/Manila-Electric-Company-Meralco-Company-History.html El Caudillo 23:39, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

This is nice input, El Caudillo. Nick Nichols 02:11, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

There are no live links to articles on the Lopez family or the Lopez group: there seems to be a need for one, but I'm not sure where best to put it. Ming the Merciless 14:34, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

Article needs expansion with links

I added this to expand and Meralco is fighting for its life due to alleged takeover: (Meralco), which is facing a Philippine legislative inquiry/investigation for alleged excessive pricing (2nd highest in Asia), set aside P 1.1 billion ($ 1= P 42) in cash dividends to shareholders. Half or P 558 million will be distributed to Meralco shareholders on May 13, at a rate of 50 centavos per share, and the other half, or 50 centavos per share will be paid in the second semester. Sen. Miriam Santiago also announced that the Senate would hold a joint inquiry with the House of Representatives on the government's plan to take over Meralco, to reduce electricity bills. It posted a net income of P 3.61 billion in 2007.tradingmarkets.com, Meralco giving shareholders P1.1-billion cash bonus, to pay P558 million Tuesday Meralco and National Transmission Corporation (Napocor) blamed each other in high power rates. Meralco submitted reasons for higher power rates: high power generation costs, high transmission costs and government taxes imposed on the electricity sector from power generation to distribution. Government Service Insurance System (Philippines) President Winston Garcia, however, blamed Meralco management's inefficiency, its "bloated bureaucracy" and its sourcing of power from independent power producers (IPPs) also owned by the Lopezes, and the need to amend the Electronic Power Industry Reform Act of 2001. At the May 12-13 Senate hearing, Santiago required Meralco, the National Power Corporation (NPC) and the Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC) to submit documents.Abs-Cbn Interactive, High power rates blamed on Meralco, gov't, IPPsAbs-Cbn Interactive, Meralco, Napocor point fingers on high power rates</ref> Solicitor General Agnes Devanadera, on this point, said that the March 24, 2003 joint settlement agreement between Meralco and the NPC is null and void, contrary to law, morals and public policy, given the pass-on provision under it that will impose an additional burden on the consumers. The agreement was not submitted to the OSG in violation of the Revised Administrative Code 2987, Executive Order 292 and the Charter of the NPC under Republic Act 6395. tradingmarkets.com, between Meralco and NPC The House Energy panel's investigation into high power rates also investigated high power rates.GMA NEWS.TV, House panel begins probe into high power rates --Florentino floro (talk) 08:18, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

Syndicated estafa

In Philippine jurisprudence, this is large scale fraud. This is first in Meralco history that a high profile criminal lawsuit had been successfully filed vis-a-vis the ongoing GSIS-Meralco bribery case. I propose that users expand this more, due to the template which required clean up of this article for quality requirements.--Florentino floro (talk) 09:51, 22 August 2008 (UTC)

No bail

This is now a first in our criminal case history, where top ABS CBN, Meralco, including Cesar Virata are now ready to be arrested and jailed due to NO BAIL Information filed in Pasig Court. --Florentino floro (talk) 11:48, 22 August 2008 (UTC)

Fallacy and Hoax About Meralco's Edited Financial Profile

Some fiendish shenanigan(s) has copied the financial profile of Meralco's sister company, ABS-CBN and inserted it in the infobox of Meralco in Wikipedia, as it if it was the true and genuine current financial standing of the Meralco company that seemed to be on a medium-scale as for 2008's Third Largest Company in the Philippines based on revenues and assests. Thus the copied financial profile from ABS-CBN to paste it on Meralco's infobox, creates a deceptively enigmatic belief among the readers of Wikipedia; that placed to an erratic and irrelevant nature. For an information, the two mentioned companies are sister companies governed by their holding company arms, the First Philippine Holdings Corp. and the Benpres Holdings Corp., so definitely their financial profile are merely different from each other. For the sake of the truth-seekers, it has already been deleted before it severely become a "fallacy article" from a free-to-edit encyclopedic website. However, this kind of malevolent cyber-act by a shenanigan editor, can confuse the Wikipedia article viewers all over the Internet world that may not exhaust and lead to a completely true and genuine information; in which in turn may compromise and pollute the credibility, reputation, and rectitude of ethics and standards of Wikipedia as an infamous bay of information and knowledge pliable on such a multifarious references thru the internet world. May the shenanigan(s) find celibacy and tranquility from his/her antipathy and wrath against the controversial Meralco and ABS-CBN, which are both part of the Lopez Group of Companies. The shenanigan(s) has a palpable hatred between Meralco and ABS-CBN, and intended to mar their real sort of financial being at such an antagonistic pursuit. The wrongdoer(s) should not use Wikipedia for fiendish acts, because it is definitely not the right venue for any independent perceptions of sabotage. As such that Wikipedia is a free-for-all to edit encyclopedic website and must not be abused to disseminate a falsehood of information about any topic and content. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mike 82987 (talk • contribs) 20:06, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
