Update on Davao Light's Monthly Rate Schedule for September..

There's a little bit of good news for Davao Light and Power Company power
consumers. The onset of the rainy/wet season which virtually filled up the
hydro plants capacity has greatly offset the PBR related increase in the
Distribution Charges of Davao Light and Power Company.

The total kwh increase over the August 2010 billing month is just an average
of 30 centavos per kwh for secondary customers and just about P 100/KW for
load customers.

This compares to the ERC Mandated Refund by the NGCP to Mindanao power consumers
for the billing month of July ( reflected on the consumer bills August 2010 ) of
P 229.10/KW.

Let us pray for the full normalization of the level in the Lanao and Bukidnon
watershed areas, so that the fuel-fed plants will have minimal use.
