Meralco, led by businessman Manuel Pangilinan, assured customers of continued service reliability and safety as the country braces for the lingering effects of severe tropical cyclone “Crising” and the southwest monsoon.
As adverse weather conditions persist across parts of its franchise area, Meralco said it is on heightened alert and has deployed line crews to address any power-related issues.
“Our crews are ready to respond to any electricity service concern,” said Joe Zaldarriaga, Meralco vice president and head of Corporate Communications.
“We also reiterate our call to the public to observe safety measures when using electrical devices and appliances, especially when there is flooding,” Zaldarriaga added.The electricity distributor shared safety reminders for households in flood-prone areas, advising customers to switch off the main power source, unplug appliances, and avoid contact with wet electrical equipment. Meralco stressed the importance of having flood-damaged devices inspected by a licensed electrician before reuse.
Customers were likewise advised to ensure communication devices were charged and accessible during outages.
