Pacquiao has been known and criticized for being one of the Congressmen who had the most absences in the Congress.

Last Tuesday, August 16, Energy Secretary has been asked by Sen. Pacquiao regarding the payment of system loss.

Meralco, the country’s largest power distributor, defines system loss as “the recovery of power lost due to technical and non-technical system losses.”

The firm said that it is collected “for the generation and the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP).

Pacquiao started by addressing the Secretary.

“Mr Secretary, this is a very important question, raise up ko ngayon. Ang tanong ko lang po, bakit n’yo china-charge sa consumers na talo n’yo na eh? That’s business. Para sa akin ‘di sya makatuwiran na i-charge sa consumers ‘yung nalo-lose na power sa transmission,” Pacquiao said.

[Mr. Secretary, this is a very important question that I will raise now. My question is, why are you charging consumers with your loss? That’s business. For me, it is unjust to charge consumers for system loss from the transmission.]

The Enrgy Secretary then agreed with Pacquiao that consumers must be carrying the burden of paying for system loss. However, Cusi advised that the Bureau of Internal Revenue needs to remove the value-added tax (VAT) on system loss.

Pacquaio told Cusi that he is hoping that the issue would be acted on as according to the senator, burdens the consumers on their monthly bills.
