In a statement filled with optimism and gratitude, Meralco Chairman and CEO Manuel V. Pangilinan—more popularly known as MVP—welcomed the renewal of Meralco’s franchise, calling it a “recognition of our role in helping power the nation’s growth.”
For MVP, this isn’t just another corporate milestone—it’s a big green light to push forward with plans that will bring even more stable, reliable, and affordable electricity to millions of Filipinos.
“We’re thankful to President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. for his invaluable support, and to both the Senate and House of Representatives for enacting this vital measure,” MVP said. “This franchise renewal shows our shared commitment to meeting the evolving needs of consumers through innovation and dependable service.”
With this fresh mandate, Meralco is gearing up for bigger and bolder energy infrastructure projects. The goal? To strengthen power delivery to homes, businesses, and industries that are essential to the country’s growth. MVP also emphasized the importance of modernizing and expanding Meralco’s distribution network to make it more climate-resilient and customer-friendly.
“More than just wires and poles, we’re talking about long-term energy independence and a future where our systems are smarter, more efficient, and more responsive to the people we serve,” he added.
He also made it clear: Meralco is in it for the long haul—with transparency, regulatory compliance, and social responsibility as its core pillars.
At the heart of it all, MVP reaffirmed Meralco’s commitment to support the government’s nation-building agenda. “We’re here to drive economic progress and improve the lives of every Filipino,” he said.
And with that, the message is clear: Meralco isn’t just powering homes—it’s helping fuel the future.
