The Manila Electric Company (Meralco), led by Manuel V. Pangilinan, has intensified wire-clearing operations in Antipolo City ahead of the expected surge of pilgrims and motorists during Holy Week.
In coordination with the Antipolo City local government, Meralco carried out clearing activities near the Antipolo Cathedral to help ensure the safety of devotees, residents, and passing motorists traveling to and from the church.
The operation, conducted on March 27 along P. Oliveros Street, was led by Antipolo City Mayor Jun Ynares and Meralco Vice President and Head of Corporate Communications Joe R. Zaldarriaga.
“Meralco will continue to conduct more operations like this in close coordination with local government units to ensure public safety, especially with the expected surge of devotees this coming Holy Week,” Zaldarriaga said.
Since the start of the year, Meralco has removed more than 25,000 kilograms of unauthorized wire attachments as part of its sustained campaign to protect the integrity of its facilities and reduce safety risks in communities.
The power distributor said it continues to work closely with local government units in carrying out Anti-Urban Blight Operations across its franchise area, while supporting the delivery of safe, stable, and reliable electricity service to its 8.2 million customers.
