Suspended Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC) chair Monalisa Dimalanta has requested the Office of the Ombudsman to reconsider her preventive suspension. She suggests that her suspension, stemming from complaints of misconduct and abuse of authority related to a Meralco rate case, might be a power play by vested interests in the energy industry.

“I have already filed a motion for reconsideration last week on the preventive suspension order. We filed it Wednesday last week,” Dimalanta said at the Pandesal Forum on Thursday, September 19.on Dimalanta is due to complaints of grave misconduct, abuse of authority, and conduct prejudicial to public service. This stems from a 2023 complaint of the National Association of Electricity Consumers for Reforms , which accused her of failing to adjust Manila Electric Company rates.
For instance, Dimalanta said that the ERC has been unable to decide on power agreements of 23 electric cooperatives mostly in the Visayas. For regular consumers, this could mean that they would have to put up with higher electricity rates for longer.Hanggang stalemate or stalled ‘yung aksyon ng komisyon, walang magiging power supply agreement ang mga ito.
