"In terms of quality, Meralco has consistently delivered stable and reliable service and performed well within regulatory standards. Meralco also continuously invests in projects and new technologies that would improve and strengthen its distribution network to better respond to the needs of our 7.8 million customers," Zaldarriaga said. Meralco issued the statement to clarify the concerns raised by ACT-Teachers Rep. France Castro and Laguna 1st District Rep. Ann Matibag. The two lawmakers supported proposals to review and split into three Meralco's franchise, describing it as "too big." The proposal was first made by Laguna Rep. Dan Fernandez in a privilege speech, urging the House of Representatives to conduct a review of the mega-franchise and divide it into three. Zaldarriaga said Meralco complies with all government regulations and said Fernandez's speech contained factual errors and was "riddled with inconsistencies." It also denied behaving as a monopoly.
