e-Meralco Bill and Online Payments
If some of you still don’t know about it, Meralco (www.meralco.com.ph) has an online account and billing system for their consumers. It’s called the My e-Meralco Bill and it allows you to view your electric bill online, among others.
This is good if you’re always away from home or the electric bill you’re paying is not under your name or address. You can always check on it online. To register your account, you need the Service ID number, Billing Date and amount from your latest statement. You can get all these information from your latest Meralco Billing statement.
Once enrolled, you are able to see a PDF equivalent of your bill, subscribe to alerts for new bills or overdue bills and get contact information or support from their 24 hour call-center.
Since I already enrolled my Meralco bill with BPIExpressOnline, I am able to check for the exact amount and send the payment via BPI. Take note that in order to complete the payment, you need to input the exact amount and the unique 5-digit number found in your e-billing statement.
Though the system does not provide a way to pay for your electric bill, it’s nice to know that Meralco has this system in place. They might want to check-out the list of locally available payment solutions from my previous post.
I wonder why PLDT does not have the same? With their 171 number always busy, I’m sure an online account and support system will be a good bump up the pogi points. Oh, wait, how can I send a support ticket if my PLDT DSL is down?

171 isnt busy
you just have to try applying for a new line all the time, fastest response
hahaha! I tried that too!
Funny, e-Meralco is also the name of their telecom subsidiary. They have fiber optic infrastructure riding on the power line right of way, which they resell to telcos and large corporate customers.
id been using this service over a year now, and guess what some banks (like union bank) use the printed PDF bill document when u pay ur bills over the counter….. unlike bayad center (they need the barcode part of the billing statement)

lintik kayong mga taga MERALCO.mga sinungaling kayong anak ng diablo, sabi ninyo makaka discount ang mga consumer sa kuryente ngayong buwan, pero bakit nagsitaasan ang aming mga electric bill. gago ang tagapamahala walang kuwenta tuta ng kapitalista.
gago kayong mga may ari ng meralco sabi nyo bababa singl ng kuryente , eh bakit bill namin ,eh bakit lalo pang lumalaki ang bill namin imbis nagtipid kami ngaun lalo pa tuloy lumaki babayaran nami
tanong ko lang po kung bakit lumaki bll namin eh, nagtipid na tuloy kami ngayong month na to

Let me share you my experience with the kind of service from Meralco. It was during the aftermath of typhoon Basyang. Two days after the typhoon, the electricity in our village (Gatchalian Subdivision in Las Pinas) got restored except our house and 2 other houses infront of us. It was due to a busted post wire connected to our metering device. I called the Meralco call center and spoke first with AJ on July 15 at 10pm. Aj promised me that they will fix the problem in two to 4 hours. 2 hours after, I made a follow-up and I to talked with Cloe this time (July 16 at 12am) and Cloe said that the the linemen are around the Alabang Area and our neighborhood is next in line. So I went to work in Makati (I work at 1am) and then at around 6 AM, I made a follow up. I talked with Weng, JM and Michiko. They were not able to give me concrete details as to why our electrical connection is not yet fixed. They are all one and the same in telling me that our house is next. Well, what the hell. Our house was next in line since last night! In my conversation with Michicko, I started expressing my dissapointment. She told me that they have already informed the Alabang Operations regarding my concern. Since Michicko will not give me the phone number of their “Alabang Operations,” I asked her if I could to talk to their supervisor (Remel Magbalana) instead. She said yes. She placed me on hold for 15 minutes. She came back to me and said that the supervisor is currently busy engaging with another person on another line. I told her that I can wait. She placed me on hold again for 30 minutes. 3o freaking minutes. Tired of hearing the same recording over and over again, I dropped the call and called 631-1111 again. Now this time, I spoke with Christian Magbalana, who happens to be the brother of the supervisor. Now Christian wasn’t able to help me at all. I asked for the supervisor again, and Christian told me he is on break. What?!! Christian, unlike Michicko and the others, gave me an idea there are more than a hundred on the list around Alabang, Las Pinas and Paranaque area waiting for their electrical wirings restored. If they told me that last night, I shouldn’t have not made my hopes high. They should have said like “I’m sorry but it would take 15 to 24 hours to fix your electrical connection. Our linemen are loaded with more than a hundred houses that needs to be fixed.” I am really dissapointed with the Meralco operations knowing that my fishes are dying one by one. I have three fish ponds in the house. I have one hundred japanese kois. Some of them cost like 4,000 each. It’s disheartening to see them die one by one because of no airation or oxygen. Aside from that, my wife is pregnant. She is sick most of the time due to vomiting. It’s morning sickness as they say but she vomits the whole day. It’s a good indication that the baby inside her is growing but it is not wonderful to see her in pain in a house with no electricity. Meralco sucks! Not to mention that they charged us double with electricity these past 3 months.
Good afternoon. i just want to report on a business site in ermita, manila who doesn’t pay any bill in your company though they use large amount of electricity like 4 refrigeratrs, 1 tv. 4 electric fans, 1 stereo, but they haven’t done paying since they started the business. the complete address of the said business site is 450 ARQUIZA STREET, ERMITA, MANILA CITY. Can you please check ut on this?
