MANILA, Philippines — President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. on Saturday announced that the government has simplified the process for low-income and marginalized households to access electricity subsidies, and for applications under the Net-Metering Program.
During the "Collective Response to Presidential Commitments In the Energy Sector" at the Meralco Theater in Ortigas, Pasig, Marcos said the government has coordinated with distribution utilities to automatically enroll beneficiaries of the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps) into the Lifeline Rate Subsidy Program (LRSP).
As of November 2025, around 334,000 consumers are registered under the LRSP, representing about 11 percent of the estimated three million 4Ps beneficiaries nationwide.
"I am heartened to see that the government and key stakeholders, like Meralco, continue to work in alleviating the burdens of our people," Marcos said.
"After all, progress in the energy sector – and in nation-building itself – rests on shared responsibility," he added.
