The Manila Electric Company (Meralco), the country’s largest power distributor, has guaranteed uninterrupted and dependable electricity service across its franchise areas during the Holy Week observance.
Joe Zaldarriaga, Meralco vice president and head of Corporate Communications, said the utility’s response teams will remain on duty round-the-clock to address any service concerns.
Zaldarriaga emphasized:
“We join the nation in observing a solemn and safe Holy Week. As a 24/7 service provider, we assure our customers that our crews are fully prepared to respond to any power-related concerns that may arise.”
Alongside this assurance, Meralco reminded households to practice electrical safety, particularly for those planning to spend the long break away from home.
Customers are urged to unplug appliances before leaving, avoid overloading outlets with extension cords or “octopus” connections, keep wires neatly arranged to prevent accidents, and ensure that electrical devices are kept away from water sources.
For service-related issues, customers may reach Meralco through hotline 16211, mobile numbers 0920-9716211 and 0917-5516211, or via the My Meralco mobile app and the company’s official Facebook and X pages.
Business centers will be closed from Maundy Thursday until Easter Sunday (April 2–5) and will reopen on Easter Monday, April 6.
