    Meralco on full alert as Tropical Storm Ramil hits Luzon

    The Manila Electric Company (Meralco) has placed its crews on full alert as Tropical Storm Ramil (international name: Fengshen) continues to sweep across Luzon, bringing strong winds and heavy rains to areas within its franchise.

    With tropical cyclone wind signals hoisted in several locations, Meralco said it is closely monitoring developments to ensure a swift response to any power-related issues. The utility firm assured the public that response teams are strategically deployed and ready to operate around the clock.

    “We urge our customers to stay safe and be vigilant, especially in flood-prone areas,” said Joe R. Zaldarriaga, Meralco vice president and head of Corporate Communications.

    The company also reminded the public to take precautions during severe weather, such as switching off circuit breakers, unplugging appliances, and ensuring all electrical equipment is completely dry before use. Any damaged electrical systems should be inspected by a licensed electrician.

    Customers may report service interruptions through the My Meralco app, official social media channels, or by calling the Meralco Hotline at 16211.
