After going into the power generation business, electricity distributor Manila Electric Co. (Meralco) is now mulling the possibility of entering the manufacturing sector as well.

Manuel V. Pangilinan, Meralco chairman, said during the launch of its electric vehicle charging station prototype on Tuesday night that the company is willing to invest in the local manufacturing for e-vehicles in hopes of developing an industry that will be beneficial to Filipinos.

that's like going back to their roots. they used to be in the transport sector during the prewar period.

this could be a possible joint venture with the government as a means to eradicate yang mga jeepneys, parang swap agreement.

Possible. Para mabawasan na mga pangit na jeepneys.

Maganda sana kung ung mg bulok at karagkarag na jeepneys ay bibilin ng gobyerno in lieu of electronic jeepneys para sa mas magandang kalye sa MM. hindi na uusok at magiging mas malinis pa ang kapaligiran kahit papano.

Pero I guess, nasa maintenance at gasoline na ginagamit ng mga jeepney drivers ang ikaka improve ng system ehh.. kasi sa amin ung 20 year old pajero namin maintained naman ng maayos satisfactory na ang usok kasi diesel. medyo nagoover heat lang paminsan kasi due na for radiator replacement, Kaya nagiipon na para sa isang evercool replacement. pero other than that ok pa naman ang takbo.

Kaya kung magkakaron lang tlga ng break ang mga jeepney drivers kaya din nila in maintain ang mga PUVs nila.

Note the word "mulling" .... It means they are just thinking about it BUT not decided on it. They probably want to do a joint venture with someone else. So best not to count your chickens before the eggs are hatched.

This is just another press release with NOTHING behind it.

Ok yan. Kung ok din ang power sources.

Lilinis nga hangin ng metro pero yung mga paglalagyan ng planta ng kuryente naman ang kawawa.

Sana clean energy na. Nuclear. Hehe.
