    I am a resident in Mindanao.It so happened that I was here in Cebu to
    visit my long time friend residing near Tubod Flowing water,Minglanilla,
    Cebu.I was shocked to know that my friend is paying big electric bills,
    sometimes more than 5 thousand pesos a month. While his neighbor
    having 2 airconditions, 3 tv sets and running most of the time during daytime and paying less than 500 pesos a month. Most of his neighbors are just the sam. According to him most of the residents
    in Sta. Cruz are having jumpers to lessen the power. And those don’t
    have are the one’s paying. Kindly investigate this matter.The area is from Sta. Cruz Chapel going to tubod flowing water, One owner is an appliance repairman who owns so many appliances and paying
    less than 500pesos a month. To have fair treatment to all consumers.
    Thank you very much.
