120 Pasig homes now using prepaid electricity

MANILA, Philippines - At least 120 families at a government relocation site in Pasig City are subscribed to the prepaid electricity scheme of the Manila Electric Co. (Meralco), which allows small consumers to buy load credits of up to P1,000.

The “kuryente load” is a joint project of Meralco and the National Housing Authority to give residents of Manggahan Residences 1, a low-rise building, access to electricity. Under the prepaid scheme, users can purchase load credits from Meralco’s business centers, bayad centers and selected retailers.
