Negros Power, Nagpahayag sang Pagtaas sang Kuryente para sa Setyembre, Ginatudlo ang Pagsaka sang Generation Costs

Bacolod City — May pagsaka sa bayranan sa kuryente ang mga pumuluyo kag negosyante sa Central Negros sini nga Setyembre bangud sang pagsaka sang presyo sang power supply sa merkado.

Gin anunsyar sang Negros Power nga ang average residential rate para sa Setyembre amo ang ₱12.2775 kada kilowatt-hour (kWh), mas taas sang ₱0.7715/kWh kumpara sa ₱11.5060/kWh sang Agosto. Para naman sa mga komersyal nga konsumidor, ang rate amo ang ₱12.38/kWh.

Suno sa kompanya, ang pagsaka ginpangunahan sang mas taas nga presyo sang power supply matapos nagatubang sang kakulang sang suplay ang Visayas grid sang nagligad nga bulan.

Ang pagpagwa sang Yellow Alerts sang NGCP, nga indikasyon sang kakulang sang reserve capacity, nagtulod man sang pagsaka sang presyo sa Wholesale Electricity Spot Market (WESM), nga amo ang isa sa ginhalinan sang suplay sang kuryente.

Dugang pa sa generation charges, nagsaka man ang power delivery costs kag ancillary service fees, nga amo ang mga galastuhan agud masiguro ang kalig-on kag kasaligan sang grid.

Ginpaathag sang Negros Power nga ang ila Distribution, Supply, kag Metering (DSM) charge nagapabilin gihapon sa ₱0.89/kWh.

“Naintindihan namon kon daw ano kaimportante ang barato nga kuryente para sa kada panimalay kag negosyo, kag kabalo kami nga bisan gamay nga pagtaas sang monthly bill isa ka dugang nga kabudlayan,” suno sa pahayag sang kompanya, nga nagpasalig sang ila pagtutok sa transparency kag efficiency.

Ginpahayag sang kompanya ang ila paghangop sa sitwasyon sang konsumidor kag nagpasalig nga “himoon namon ang tanan nga mahimo para mapahagan-hagan ang epekto” sang sini nga mga galastuhan nga ginadikta sang merkado.

Ginalauman nga ang iban pa nga electric distribution utilities sa Visayas magasaka man ang pagsinuluktan bangud sang kapareho nga rason.

Bacolod lone district Rep. Albee Benitez welcomed the impending change in leadership in the House of Representatives, calling it “the best way to move forward.”

“That’s a good move, that is probably the best way to move forward para at least makita na natin at mahanap ang mga katotohanan sa problema that’s rocking the House,” Benitez said.

Earlier on Wednesday, Deputy Speaker Ronaldo Puno announced that beleaguered Speaker Martin Romualdez would be stepping down, with Isabela 6th District Rep. Faustino “Bojie” Dy III being touted to replace him.

Dy belongs to Pres. Ferdinand Marcos, Jr.’s Partido Federal ng Pilipinas.

Benitez reiterated that he has been calling for a change in leadership in the Lower House, which he said was necessary for “a new image” amid the controversy on the government’s flood control projects.

There have been allegations of Romualdez’ involvement in flood control corruption and budget insertions, which have prompted Benitez to demand transparency and accountability from the House leadership.

As to the expected change in committee chairmanships and deputy speakerships, the lawmaker said that he will await the new Speaker’s decisions on the matter.

“Hintayin natin kung ano ang magiging desisyon ng bagong Speaker –may mga issues tayo doon– at ano ang gagawin niya,” he sai.

LOOK: Bacolod City Council Backs House Bill to Lower VAT to 10%

The Sangguniang Panlungsod (SP) of Bacolod City has approved unanimously a measure expressing full support for House Bill No. 4302, which seeks to lower the Value-Added Tax (VAT) rate from twelve percent (12%) to ten percent (10%).

House Bill No. 4302, filed by Hon. Leandro Legarda Leviste, aims to provide immediate financial relief to Filipino families and stimulate economic activity by reducing the VAT imposed on goods and services.

City Councilor Atty. Caesar Z. Distrito, who authored and sponsored the resolution, explained that Bacolodnons, like most Filipino consumers, are heavily burdened by the current VAT rate.

“At 12 percent, the Philippines has one of the highest VAT rates in Southeast Asia, compared to 7 percent in Thailand and Malaysia, and 8 percent in Singapore. This disproportionately affects ordinary wage earners and low-income families who are struggling with rising prices,” Distrito said.

The resolution underscores that lowering the VAT will increase the purchasing power of Bacoleños, encourage higher consumer spending, and energize local businesses, leading to a more robust and inclusive economy.

The Bacolod City Government and its residents are expected to benefit directly from the measure, as lower VAT means more affordable basic goods and services and improved household savings.

Copies of the approved resolution will be formally transmitted to Congressman Leandro Leviste and the House of Representatives to demonstrate Bacolod City’s full and unwavering support for the proposed law.

“This is a call for tax reform that places people first. By easing the burden on consumers, we help families recover faster and create a stronger foundation for economic growth.” Distrito added.
