DIE HARD III

Even as those photo ops between Clinton and PeNoy hit the newsstands, in aid of the massive PR spin on the US ’ support for its little puppet amid its dwindling influence in this part of the world, the conditions for creating an explosion of awareness on the true crisis in Filipinos’ lives are multiplying.
Most importantly, the middle class is now getting more and more energized in our fight against the blatant (and unprecedented) political and economic abuses in the privatized electricity, water, and infrastructure utilities of this nation.
One indication of this growing involvement is the flurry of Internet exchanges on power issues. An example is Edna’s (surname withheld) e-mail to Pete Ilagan of Nasecore (National Association of Electricity Consumers for Reforms, an anti-power plunder consumer group):
“Pete, you might want to check if ERC is actually adjusting the economic indices used in the calculation of the ARR of Meralco and other DUs under the PBR. These are the (a) Peso-US$ exchange rate, (b) Philippine CPI, and (c) US CPI. ERC is supposed to adjust them yearly.
“I am attaching a table that I made showing the forecast indices vs the actual. Note that for the Peso-US$ exchange rate, the forecasts are higher than the actual. For the US CPI, except for one year where actual was higher, the ERC forecasts were also higher than actual. If they’re not corrected, they will increase Meralco’s profit because these indices, especially the exchange rate and US CPI, are used to calculate the capex and depreciation costs, the major components of the rate base and ARR.”
If the indices used by the Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC) are regularly higher than the actual, then it is to be expected that it will always grant its approval to higher rates for the power generation, transmission and distribution firms that petition without fail for rate increases.
Since the ERC is invariably either derelict or in collusion with those petitioners, the public will never see the light on these outrageous distortions. Citizens and consumer groups hardly have any funds, but are fueled by their indignation over this naked manipulation, abuse, and exploitation by the utility regulatory agencies in the power sector, aside from the MWSS, LWUA and the Toll Regulatory Commission in others.
Citizens themselves are funding the necessary expenses, such as lawyers’ appearances at the ERC and in the courts. One donor is a former city mayor in Metro Manila who does not want to be named.
The latest initiative is beginning to bring together a renewed focus for the different crusaders, such as EmPower, Freedom from Debt Coalition (FDC), and Kaakbay, which have been at it since the start of the decade. FDC and EmPower have signified agreement to revive their own “lights out” call (switching off lights at some appointed time of the week), which were highly successful in select communities that involved hundreds of thousands of families. Even as other issues have sidetracked their campaigns, they are more than ready to reconnect with the broader effort this time around.
In December, the FDC is spearheading a nationwide summit on this crusade to be held in Baguio, as I was told by Job Bordamonte of FDC during our discussion on my TV program. I’m very excited about this and this column aims to start disseminating the information. There have been ebbs and flows in the struggle but a crescendo is building again.
Still, I got an indication of the attitude of the masses to this problem of exorbitant electricity costs. One of my former media staff, Glecy, whom I was with when she was asked about her community’s take on this issue, said, “Wala naman kaming magagawa.” (We can’t do anything about it.)
This sense of helplessness and hopelessness is what the oligarchs and their media are banking on as they continue to instill this into the masses’ subconscious through progressive impoverishment, fascist suppression of past protests (joined in by the masa), media blackout of power news through entertainment distraction, plus ERC connivance to frustrate every legitimate effort to thwart the abuse by the power oligarchs.
The critical situation prevails from RP’s north to south, and this column has tried to reflect it all. As of this writing, news of four-hour blackouts in the Visayas.
I was informed that in the Negros islands and towns such as Sipalay, four-hour power outages have become prevalent. In Mindanao, our decade-long crusader there is under threat of assassination. Yes, he fears for his life there for the exposés he has made on the IPPs’ (independent power producers) many abuses; and for this reason he has been reluctant to take a high profile in media on the issue.
I have been telling his friends that his security can only be assured when he comes out fighting a total war — including becoming an anti-power plunder celebrity. I hope he takes my advice as we are ready to help him all the way. The good thing is that he has been linking with us in the Metro Manila networks. As I said, the movement is growing again — so the masa need not feel helpless anymore. Remember: “Lights Out Mondays,” 7 to 7:10 p.m.

The sovereign, nationalist direction
DIE HARD III
Herman Tiu Laurel
11/12/2010
Much as I would like to take even a day off from the endless electricity price gouging and swindles, I am not able to. The news every day brings up new cases of the blatant defrauding of the Filipino power consumers by the Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC), together with the big private power companies, as well as the silence of the nation’s legislature.
A few days ago, this headline came up: “Aboitiz Equity income jumps 128 percent to P5.6B in Q3.” Looking closely into the details, one reads: “The power group continued to account for the biggest chunk of the income pie with an 83 percent share, followed by the banking and food groups…”
No doubt that 83-percent increase attributed to the Aboitiz power group came from the company’s deal with the Power Sector Assets and Liabilities Management Corp. (Psalm), wherein it got to buy the state’s power barges 117 and 118 for a third of what was declared to the ERC when it subsequently entered into a deal for those same barges to fill in for the “energy crisis” in Mindanao.
That threefold increase in valuation, which Therma Marine Inc. of the Aboitiz group submitted to the ERC, was made the basis for setting the current power rates in Mindanao, which, as we reported and powerfully expounded on the floor of Congress by a Mindanao congressman, “have virtually doubled from March to April and May this year.” It was stated further that “In 2009, we paid P49.70 per kWh/month. However, last April we paid P360 per kWh/month and P606 per kWh/month in May 2010. This had caused untold sufferings and hardships to our people in Mindanao, especially the poor.”
Those hardships and sufferings now translate to the huge, heartless, and indecent income jump of 128 percent of the Aboitiz Equity group. And yet this dwarfs what the company got in 2001.
After colluding with the Edsa II power grab of Gloria Arroyo, the Aboitiz group got the newly-installed regime to transfer P20 billion in GSIS (Government Service Insurance System) deposits in the Land Bank of the Philippines — one of our largest and most stable government banks, with over 500 ATMs to service GSIS members — to its own banking interest, Unionbank, which had only less than 50 ATMs at that time.
It was patently illegal since GSIS deposits should always be deposited in a government bank. But aside from being disadvantageous to government, it was also a disservice to the million and a half GSIS members as Unionbank was not in a position to service them efficiently — which resulted in the many years of horrendous complaints about Unionbank and its eCard system with the GSIS. Ten years have passed and despite the continuing abuses, none of these transgressions have been punished.
The abuse by the oligarchs is part and parcel of the continuing policy of liberalization and privatization of the Philippine economy. It has destroyed the public sector and dismantled public, shared ownership of the nation’s wealth and resources by transferring these only to a few — just a dozen or so — corporate oligarchs through which the Western powers plunder the nation.
The mother of all this plunder, in turn, has been the liberalization of our currency and capital regime, which is now highlighted by the ongoing collapse of globalization in the world economy via the currency war that is a-building. This, as self-respecting and self-caring nations start escalating a series of protectionist measures for their economies.
From Brazil (which has raised its tax on foreign investments in its bonds from two to four, and now six percent) to Japan (which has shocked everyone by intervening last September to weaken its yen and announcing this month that it will continue to maintain its weak yen policy), nations are opposing the US’ move to strengthen everyone else’s currency by weakening its own.
All, it seems, except for the Philippines, which is under the IMF-WB (International Monetary Fund-World Bank) stooge Cesar Purisima, who has proudly declared the dollars invested in his $1-billion bonds as tax exempt, thereby strengthening the peso and weakening the dollar, and resulting in punishing losses for our OFWs, export industries, and call centers.
The Aquino government tries to look for some silver lining, such as looking to prepay foreign loans as it takes fewer pesos to pay dollar debts; but the dark clouds are overwhelming.
As oil is already projected to rise to $100/bbl soon, since oil producing countries have set higher prices to compensate for the declining value of the dollar in which the trade is denominated; rice producing countries will certainly do the same. At the same time, without currency and trade restriction, imports from the US will rise and domestic agriculture and industries will suffer even more.
Even without the dollar devaluation, our poultries and piggeries have already been under a lot of pressure from US exports of chicken and pork parts, as our car industry has suffered from American imports. With the dollar devaluation, coupled with the elite and Filipino consumers’ penchant for imports, this will even worsen dramatically.
The only course, if this country is to survive and grow again, is the sovereign and nationalist economic direction. And this is something we hope the Aquino III regime can still learn. If not, then we can expect the pressure for an unscheduled regime change to be in the cards within a year’s time.

After Meralco, it's Wesm's turn
DIE HARD III
Herman Tiu Laurel
11/8/2010
First it was the Manila Electric Co. (Meralco); now it’s the Wholesale Electricity Spot Market (Wesm) and the National Power Corp. (Napocor); another time, it will be the National Grid Corp. of the Philippines (NGCP); and then it’ll be Meralco’s turn again. The power rate gouging just goes on and on, constantly keeping our power rates the highest ever in Asia — and getting higher still!
Last week, just as torrential rains compelled authorities to release overflowing water from hydro-electric dams such as Angat, raising public expectations for a further reduction of November power rates, given this bountiful hydro power source, Meralco announces that it will raise power rates anew by 98 cents per kWh due to higher electricity prices from the Wesm. Translated, this means that virtually half of the increase (at 55 cents per kWh) from P3.68 to P4.85 per kWh will come from Meralco while the other half will be used to account for Napocor’s so-called “under-recoveries” the past months.
The Electric Power Industry Reform Act (Epira) requires Meralco to take at least 10 percent of its power supply from Wesm, which auctions power from all independent power producers (IPPs), supposedly to introduce competition (and lower prices). But these rates are actually manipulated by power distributors that also own IPPs. Napocor’s “under-recoveries,” on the other hand, accrued from government’s artificial intervention in times when it had to mitigate the Wesm’s overcharging by ordering temporary low rates.
The Wesm counts among its participants the IPPs and the buyers-distributors. A common sense view of power cost is that this should not be subject to volatility except for fuel and currency fluctuation, which we actually pay for with the corresponding price adjustments.
However, the Wesm bidding or auction also supposedly factors in demand and its fluctuations, a factor that is extremely vulnerable to manipulation. As demand is affected by conditions of supply, these conditions can be easily manipulated by such claims as the “breakdown” of some plants, “unscheduled maintenance” (as with Malampaya gas), “jellyfish invasions” (at Sual), and even supposed El Niño effects (that could easily be neutralized by foresight and preparation), among many others.
Moreover, the Wesm is managed by the Philippine Energy Management Corp. (Pemc) whose operations (including salaries, expenses, etc.) we, the consumers, pay for to the tune of P622.868 million in 2009 (which was still apparently not enough as the firm sought an additional P108 million late last year), and P800 million this year just for “trading” alone.
The Wesm is without a doubt the same system that California adopted, which gave way to the infamous Enron scandal. Back then, Enron executives manipulated power supply by asking power plants to shut down on various pretexts (such as breakdowns and maintenance), then jacked power prices sky high before leveraging their stocks in the market until the company’s collapse. As a result, the state of California found itself with $50 billion in losses. But then, the Enron executives were later sent to jail; while the Wesm executives here continue to hoodwink the nation.
The local Wesm has been scandal-ridden since its inception, with public investigation being called by Malacañang, the Senate, Congress, and the Pemc itself, as in the 2010 case wherein the Pemc asked the Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC) to intervene against the Wesm based on a letter-complaint from two power utilities for “drastic price spikes” from Jan. 26 to Feb. 25 this year.
Generation prices in the Wesm, accounting for Meralco’s total 55-centavo hike in its November rate, can go as high as P19 per kWh, which is probably close to what it is today. But Meralco itself had just raised its distribution rates in the past months.
By maintaining a tacit modus operandi with the Wesm, the Power Sector Assets and Liabilities Management Corp. (Psalm), Napocor, and the ERC to alternately petition for, approve, and implement power rate hikes, Meralco is perceived to be obfuscating the fact that its franchise area continues to have the highest power rate in Asia, by dazing and off-balancing consumers who are unable to spot a culprit — who’s none other than all of them plus the whole corrupt system, including the legislature and the judiciary, that has propped up the Epira law.
To refresh, the Belmonte Congress in April 2001, before it was set to be replaced by a newly-elected set of legislators, approved the Epira for P0.5 million (supposedly from Meralco) plus P10-million National Electrification Administration (NEA) projects per congressman. The Senate, too, allegedly concurred in exchange for favors from the energy lobby. The judiciary, for its part, has repeatedly sustained the Epira law from consumer suits; thus, ensuring its preservation. Except for Rep. Magtubo in 2001 and Reps. Toby Tiangco and Bernadette Herrera today who have spoken out against the power plunder, Congress has kept quiet the past 10 years.
The foreign interests behind the Epira should also not escape mention. They have worked through the local oligarchs and the Asian Development Bank (ADB) as the latter attached in 2001 its approval of a $950-million loan to the passage of the said law. A weak and illegal Arroyo government, as well as Congress, was naturally unable to resist the financial and political lifeline held out by the ADB.
But just what is the interest of these groups in instituting such laws and mechanisms that complete the process of privatization?
All the IPPs and distribution companies, and now the transmission grid, the NGCP (a.k.a. National “Greed” Corp. of the Philippines), are indebted to foreign financiers and have foreign partners or principals. Listing in the stock market allows these foreign financial predators to cash-in regularly on their windfall profits.
At the same time, as the nation gets deeper into debt, these vultures will gain more access and control over our strategic energy needs — which is no different from what they have done to our food, water, and health.
There is no solution except for consumers to revolt. Monday, as this column comes out, is another day to register our protest with 10 minutes of lights out against power plunder from 7 to 7:30 p.m. Let’s do this before they ultimately control our entire lives and territory.
