BAKIT NGA BA MAHAL ANG SINGIL SA KURYENTE SA PILIPINAS?

Mula sa mataas na singil sa kuryente at mga bayaring kasama sa ating electric bill, hanggang sa paulit-ulit na rotational brownout sa Visayas, maraming tanong tungkol sa presyo at supply ng kuryente sa bansa.

Himayin natin ang mga isyung ito sa The Week Explained kasama si Bam Alegre. #GMANews #SerbisyongTotoo #BreakingNews #VPonTrial
