[Title] => Meralco posts P1.78B seconds quarter net income
[Summary] => Manila Electric Co. (Meralco), the country’s biggest power distributor, bucked higher power purchased costs, weak sales and larger provisioning for losses to post a second quarter net income of P1.78 billion, a hefty increase of 66.3 percent from last year’s net profit of P1.07 billion.
Despite the turnaround in the second quarter, Meralco’s bottom line for the first six months this year at P73.59 million, is still a huge 94.8-percent decline from its net income of P1.47 billion during the same period in 2004.

[Title] => Meralco customers to feel EVAT by August
[Summary] => Manila Electric Co. (Meralco) customers will not immediately feel the impact of the expanded value-added tax (EVAT) which takes effect starting July 1 as the Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC) and the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) have not yet finalized the implementing rules and regulations on the new tax law.
Meralco president Jesus Francisco said the company will not be charging the VAT on the June consumption as Meralco’s billing cycle varies depending on the consumer.
