Renewal of Meralco franchise draws flak

A CONSUMER group over the weekend decried the consolidation of three bills in the House of Representatives seeking the renewal of Manila Electric Co.'s (Meralco) franchise, saying it was too early to discuss the matter.

'It is too early to discuss the renewal of Meralco's franchise, which will expire in 2028,' said Rodolfo Javellana Jr., national president of United Filipino Consumer and Commuters.
