Since the electricity-distribution infrastructure is under PECO’s control, MORE’s takeover will require its cooperation, if power disruptions are to be prevented. In that PR campaign, PECO has even put words in President Duterte’s mouth, falsely claiming that he is supporting the company and is against MORE. PECO’s Yellow DNA is so obvious here. At the end of the year, there will be a new set-up in Iloilo, which is for a new firm that would distribute electricity in Iloilo. And PECO pays for full-page ads to put words in Duterte’s mouth, and claims he supports that Yellow oligarch firm in its bid to hold on to its inefficient monopoly?
