Good day! This reply is in response to the requested information by Department of Energy (DOE). I have an issue with regards to the information that I had requested from DOE.
I want to inform you that even though my request was successful and that I received a copy of the information containing "Grid-Connected and Off-Grid Barangays and Municipalities under MERALCO Services", which was the attached excel file "MERALCO-Connections-per-DDP (1)", There are some significant errors found inside the file:
1. Located at the "BULACAN" Province
- It was observed that the barangays under the cities of "Angat" and "Balagtas" are repeated even if they are already indicated. There are also some cities and their barangays in Bulacan not included in the file even though all cities/barangays in Bulacan are included under Meralco Services.
2. Located at the "RIZAL" Province, specifically for "TANAY" City
- One barangay in Tanay, which is Madilay-dilay, is not included in the file even though all cities and barangays in Rizal are included under Meralco Services.
Due to this, may I ask if this is a mistake on your part and if so, may I request for a new copy of the excel file, with the two mentioned errors corrected?
Thank you for your consideration!
