Do you think that GSIS takeover of Meralco is the solution to the high electricity cost?
In your opinion is it good for GSIS members and the country in general?

This is hot and important issue which affects all of us and it is paramount that we understand the underlying facts behind it.

i think hindi sya solusyon, dami nga utang ng napocor, kya iniipit nla meralco kc may agenda sla n bibilhin nla meralco pra maging govt owned n ung meralco, matalino si GMA talaga tsk...tsk...tsk..... hindi nila mahahandle ng maayos ang meralco bagkus mas magiging pagmumulan pa ito ng mas malawakang pagcocorrupt.:protest:

You have valid points lasalista.
We all know that the government is very bad and inefficient in managing businesses. Napocor is continously losing money and the people are in effect paying for it's poor performance.
The water service, NAWASA, used to be government ran and they privitised it because of inefficiency. Even PAL was under the government before and it was losing very badly before Lucio Tan bougth it. The same thing could happen to Meralco and the biggest losers would be the GSIS members.
The planned takeover of Meralco by GSIS is nothing but a clever political ploy of the Administration to divert the attention of the public from the various scandals. They did it very well with the rice shortage issue.
Tama ka laslista matalino si GMA at ang mga advisers nya!:clap:

i don't think GSIS takeover ang solution diyan kailangan
bawasan ang buwis o kaya totally alisin na ang V.A.T.

kung hindi talaga pwedeng alisin yung V.A.T. dapat paigtingin
pa nila yung pagsawata sa mga gumagamit ng illegal connections..

No to GSIS Takeover....kasi....ang daming dahilan....at lhat isinisisi sa management ng Meralco....samantalang ang daming pwedeng ayusin jan....lalo na yung sa Royalties...

sabi nga nila eh, si PGMA nga mismo pwede agad agad patanggal yung ROyalties, yung VAT....pero ayaw nila eh...KASI.....ang corruption ng gobyerno....galing din sa Buwis natin, sa mga VAT.....diba?

kung may dapat baguhin....lahat....di lang sa management....

I'm glad to hear that GSIS already backed out from buying out the Lopezes in Meralco. At least the money of GSIS members are safe for now.:clap:
The bigger issue now is how to lower the cost of electricity.In the initial Senate hearing it was revealed that a lot of inefficiencies and corruption are going on at Napocor, Transco, Meralco and even in government regulatory bodies as well as in BIR.
This proves my point that if they want to lower the cost of electricity, it should not be with Meralco alone but with all the above I mentioned because all the losses due to corruption and inefficiencies are being passed to us consumers.:ranting:

Makes me wonder how much is the real cost of electricity. Maybe not even half of what they are charging.:upset:

sa aking palagay hindi yon solusyon lalo lang gugulo ang palakad ng meralco. ang dapat ay imbestigahan ang ERB kung bakit nila pinapayagan ang meralco na pagbayarin ang taong bayan sa ginagamit na kuryente ng mga opisina ng meralco at kunyari ay system loss malaking bawas sa babayaran ng publiko kung aalisin yon. sana ay magkaroon ng politiko na mag poprotekta sa kapakanan ng publiko at wag puro papogi lang sa harap ng kamera. sa ERB ay maaaring mayroong korapsyon na dahilan kung bakit nakakalusot ang ganitong gawain ng meralco na sa aking palagay ay malinaw na pagnanakaw sa publiko. tahasang sinasabi ng meralco na aprubado ng ERB ang pagpasa ng barayin ng kanilang mga opisina sa bulsa ng naghihirap na publiko sa maskara ng system loss.

watched this sa news kagabi ... isa lang ang msasabi ko ang saya saya :gma:

dagdag yaman na naman ni Winston Garcia nito..:clap:.. hindi pa nga natapos yung issue dun sa panguurakot nya sa GSIS tapos ngayon Meralco naman:)

would you let gsis take over globe and smart to lower call rates ( and perhaps make texting free? )

this would be an excellent way for the administration to leech more money off filipinos.
something's gotta be changed about the system alright, but to that extent. I don't think so.

Dapat munang linisin ng GSIS ang kanyang bakuran
