The Manila Electric Company (Meralco) assured the public on Monday that it is actively working to restore power in areas affected by the southwest monsoon. As of 12:00 noon, approximately 11,000 customers, which is less than one percent of Meralco’s total customer base, remain affected by service interruptions.

Most of the impacted customers are located in Cavite, Bulacan, and Rizal, with additional cases reported in parts of Metro Manila, Laguna, Batangas, and Quezon.

“Our crews are continuously working to restore power service to affected areas as soon as possible. We are closely monitoring the situation and urging our customers to continue observing electrical safety practices,” said Joe R. Zaldarriaga, Meralco Vice President and Head of Corporate Communications.

Meralco advised customers to report outages or related concerns through its official social media channels on Facebook and Twitter. They may also reach out via text at 0920-9716211 and 0917-5516211, or call the Meralco Hotline at 16211.
