THERE is MORE to it than meets the eye…and MORE seems to flex more congressional muscle than PECO.
The almost a century-old electric monopoly, if it could not reverse events, would be no more than a memory. Maybe it’s now time to start thinking of Separation Pay; vacation, fishing; bingo and other retirement perks.

There’s a new player…MORE, which has won the franchise to provide electrical service to us; although with no track record as an electric chair, I mean, distributor.
But who cares? In these unstable times, MORE must have advanced more to convince Congress to discard PECO.
Perhaps, MORE tastes better.
***
What happened to PECO? With the deadline for the expiration of its franchise, you should have started paying early…attention.
Now, a MORE interesting entity has entered the city to provide for our electrical needs. Wresting away from PECO what no one thought could be done. We have been so used to paying PECO electric bills. Now, we have to pay MORE.
***
Well, at least PECO is sharing its riches with our compañeros who will wrangle and get back for PECO what it has established thru the ages…the right to monopolize power.
It is an indubitable fact, though, that PECO has firmly erected thousands of its electric posts; transformers and meters all over our fair city and providing adequate electric service. Never mind our brother high “jumpers”; anyway, the electricity that is stolen is evenly distributed among us.
***
PECO has been our electric provider for as long as I can remember and no one has heard of MORE until now. Will it erect its own electric posts and necessary equipment?
What will happen to PECO’s posts, etc.? Will MORE buy PECO’s equipment or will PECO sell?
Will PECO continue to run the service and pay MORE a percentage of the income?
Can PECO be issued a renewed franchis, it is fighting for?
Is it possible for PECO and MORE to be issued separate franchises?
What will happen, electrically speaking, in the interim while remedial measures are being litigated? Your own questions are better than mine.

It is debilitating to be the son of a National Artist of the Philippines. My father, Atty. RAMON L. MUZONES, was conferred the award National Artist of the Philippines for Literature.
A well-wisher congratulated me, “Congrats. National Artist si Tio Ramon. Ikaw imo, ano ka?”
I could only blurt out: “National road.” (muzones_law_office@yahoo.com/PN)
