Philippine presidential bets weigh in on key energy issues


MANILA (Philippine Daily Inquirer/Asia News Network): Sen Manny Pacquiao on Thursday (Oct 21) slammed the alleged anomalous deals in the management of the country’s electricity supply, which, he said, has been causing the hidden charges in consumers’ power bills and making the country’s electricity costs one of the highest in Asia.

Pacquiao blamed the “anomalous scheme” in the management and operation of the Wholesale Electricity Spot Market by the Philippine Electricity Market Corp. (PEMC) and the Independent Electricity Market Operator of the Philippines (Iemop).
