Wire clearing.

Manila Electric Co. intensifies its campaign against urban blight in the municipality of Pateros by conducting a five-day wire clearing operation from Jan. 13 to 17, 2025 along F.C. Tuazon Street to remove dangling and sagging wires and address the overloading and leaning of electric poles in the area, which may be caused by foreign attachments to the power utility’s facilities. Meralco vice president and corporate communications head Joe Zaldarriaga says the power retailer regularly implements activities under its anti-urban blight program to ensure safety of residents and maintain the integrity of its distribution facilities for continuous delivery of reliable power to its customers.
