The Manila Electric Company, led by Manuel V. Pangilinan, has ramped up wire-clearing operations in Antipolo City in preparation for the upcoming Holy Week.
In coordination with the Antipolo City local government, Meralco conducted clearing activities near the Antipolo Cathedral to help ensure the safety of devotees and motorists expected to flock to the area.
The March 27 operations along P. Oliveros Street were led by Antipolo City Mayor Jun Ynares and Meralco Vice President and Head of Corporate Communications Joe R. Zaldarriaga.
“Meralco will continue to conduct more operations like this in close coordination with local government units to ensure public safety, especially with the expected surge of devotees this coming Holy Week,” Zaldarriaga said.
Since the start of the year, the company has removed more than 25,000 kilograms of unauthorized wire attachments as part of its ongoing efforts to protect the integrity of its facilities and promote public safety.
Meralco said it will continue working with local government units through its Anti-Urban Blight Operations across its franchise area, supporting the delivery of safe, stable, and reliable electricity service to its 8.2 million customers.
