                    [Summary] => Nang ikinakampanya ng Arroyo administration ang Power Reform Bill nu’ng Abril 2001, ang dami nilang magagandang pangako. Sisigla raw ang ekonomiya. Kasi mumura raw agad nang 30¢ kada kilowatt-hour ang kuryente, na pinakamahal noon sa buong Southeast Asia. Kung hindi ipasa ang bill, tataas daw nang 30 porsiyento.


O, hayan at ipinasa na nga ang bill. Bigla bang nagmura nang 30¢-per-kwh? Hindi. Balak pa nga ng Meralco, na pinaka-malaking electricity distributor, na magtaas nang 116 porsiyento. Mahigit doble.
