                    [Summary] => Makati businessmen have expressed concern about the repercussions of a recent decision by the Supreme Court (SC) ordering the Manila Electric Co. (Meralco) to suspend a rate increase set for this month while it considers a petition filed by various consumer groups.


In a statement released yesterday, the Makati Business Club (MBC) said it is concerned that the SC decision regarding Meralco’s petition for rate hike adjustment granted by the Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC) sets a precedent for all future petitions by any utility before a regulatory agency.
