“We are reminding the public that these meters are the property of Meralco and we do not charge our customers for its use. Stealing, reselling, and buying these meters are illegal activities punishable under the law and anyone caught in possession of these stolen equipment will be prosecuted and penalized accordingly,” Meralco vice president and head of corporate communications Joe Zaldarriaga said.
“We urge the public to report any suspicious activities or stolen meters to Meralco or the authorities to help us curb this illegal practice and ensure the safety and integrity of electric service,” Zaldarriaga said.
