00:00Meanwhile, the consumers of Meralko will be able to rest because there is a discount this month.

00:06But there is a big time oil price hike starting tomorrow.

00:10Darlene Cai is a witness.

00:15Before the day ends, cars are coming one after the other to refuel here in Camias, Quezon City.

00:21Tomorrow, the discount on the price of oil is effective.

00:25One peso and 75 centavos is added to each liter of diesel.

00:29Eighty-five centavos to each liter of gasoline.

00:32And one peso and 90 centavos to each liter of kerosene.

00:36Even if the jeepney driver, Ray Mars, wants to have a full tank,

00:40his money is not enough.

00:42What if the price of crude oil rises again?

00:45According to him, 200 pesos a day will be deducted from his income.

00:50We can't do anything. It's heavy for us.

00:53Especially with the traffic here in our area.

00:57This is also difficult for the driver, Anthony.

01:00His income is reduced by 20 percent per day.

01:05The price of gas is high, but the rates of our apps are low.

01:12It's really hard because the prices are high.

01:18The price of oil products will be very volatile.

01:23Every week, the price will swing depending on the reports.

01:28Meralco's customers can breathe a sigh of relief.

01:33The price of oil is almost two pesos per kilowatt-hour.

01:38That's less than the additional price announced last week.

01:42That's equivalent to almost 392 pesos deducted from the bill

01:46for those who consume 200 kilowatt-hours per month.

01:50But in the next few months,

01:52the additional price has also increased due to the increase in the generation charge,

01:57said Meralco Vice President and Head of Corporate Communications, Joe Zaldarriaga.

02:02According to the order of the Energy Regulatory Commission,

02:05the increase in the generation cost will increase

02:09from the Wholesale Electricity Spot Market, or WESEM.

02:12As a preparation,

02:14Benji's barber shop's price increased by 100 pesos.

02:18All of my equipment is electric.

02:21If I don't have a haircut, I really lose to electricity.

02:25He's still struggling with his electricity bill.

02:28From the usual 13 to 20,000 pesos per month,

02:32his last Meralco bill increased to more than 40,000 pesos.

02:37It's so hot, the electricity is really strong.

02:40That's why I have to work until late at night.
