A day after the ‘unparalleled harassment’ occurred, 3 Meralco workers and 2 police escorts came over to restore our main electric lines. They did so by transferring all our electric meters to a nearby electric post.
We wouldn’t really question the motive in ‘implementing’ the ‘new procedure’ done to us if not for one very glaring proof that some personnel in Meralco were really ‘very hot on pinning us down’: ours are the only ones that were transferred to the post. No more, no less!
Imagine this: There are at least 10 electric posts before and after our place and about 60-70 houses and/or establishments along the side of the road with access to the main source line of electricity. But you’ll never find any electric meters installed in any of these electric posts, except ours. All 7 of them.
My younger brother even had a little chat with the one of these Meralco guys. He (my brother) mentioned to the personnel about my hesitation to have our meter be removed since there is an on-going case or complaint I raised against one of their colleagues, VIC ACOT, that has already reached media attention.
To which the gentleman said, “Ah na-media na ba? Kaya pala nag-iinit ang tumbong ng mga tao doon. Nagtataka nga kami kung bakit ito lang ang pinatra-trabaho sa amin eh. Dapat buong lugar. Pero ito lang daw ang gagalawin namin.”
Talk about being selective and discriminatory, isn’t it?
