00:00Pinagtalunan sa Kamara kung pwede bang alisin ang singil sa system laws na iniutos ng Pangulo sa kanyang State of
00:08the Nation address.
00:10Kabilang sa Inusisa, bakit may VAT pa ang kuryenteng hindi naman na konsumo?
00:15Nakatutok si Tina, panganiban pere.
00:21Sa Kamara nagprotesta ang mga nanawagang tanggalin na ang singil sa system laws o yung kuryenteng hindi naman nagamit.
00:28Kabilang ang ninakaw gamit ang mga jumper na tinuturing na non-technical system laws at yung natural na nawawala habang
00:37dumadaloy papunta sa mga bahay.
00:39Kahit hindi yan na konsumo, may value-added tax pa rin yan o VAT, kaya inusisa sa Kamara ang Bureau
00:46of Internal Revenue o BIR.
00:48Ang legal basis po natin dito is Section 105 of the National Internal Revenue Code, which states that general rule
00:58po, any person who sells or renders services is subject to VAT.
01:04Pero pagkontra ng isang dating mambabatas na gamit na kuryente ang dapat matawan.
01:09Sale of electricity may VAT. Does that include system laws? No, Mr. Chair. You cannot sell system laws.
01:18Hindi raw batas ang nagsama ng system laws sa mga may VAT.
01:22VAT on system laws was only imposed by a BIR memorandum and an ERC resolution. It's not a law. It
01:30can be amended, modified or repealed anytime.
01:33Ibang batas naman ang binanggit ng Energy Regulatory Commission na batayan.
01:38Ang pinaka-basis po ng umiiral ngayon na charging natin ng system laws is RA 7832 and then this was
01:46amended by Section 43F of EPIRA.
01:51Pero sabi ni Nery Colmenares, kahit sa batas na yan, hindi na kailangan ng bagong batas para alisin ang VAT
01:58sa system laws.
01:59Look at 87832. Nothing in this act shall impair the authority of the ERC to reduce or phase out the
02:09technical or design losses as a component of system laws.
02:13So ERC has the power. Hindi na kailangan pala na magbatas pa.
02:17Piniutos ma ni Pangulong Bongbong Marcos sa kanyang State of the Nation address ang pag-alis sa system laws charges,
02:24iginiit ng ilang ahensya ng pamahalaan at power utilities na non-technical o nakaunakuryente lang ang pwedeng alisin.
02:33Pero it will take time, money and also enforcement, Mr. Chair.
02:38There has to be a cost-benefit analysis on this. How much are we willing to spend para mabawasan siya?
02:46Sabi ng Meralco, gumagastos na sila para hindi malaki ang nawawalang kuryente at hindi kakayanin kung bubunuin ang distribution utilities
02:56ang system laws.
02:57Ang income po ng Meralco only as a distribution business ay umaabot lamang ng 29 to 30 billion pesos noong
03:082025.
03:09Ang system laws charges po, kagaya nung nasabi kanina, kung tatanggalin yung buong-buong system laws charge, ay umaabot po
03:20iyan sa may 27 to 28 billion pesos.
03:25Yes, we will be operating at the laws.
03:27Mahihirapan din ang mga electric cooperative pagpinaako sa kanila ang system laws.
03:3210% lamang po ng kanilang kinokolekta ang maiiwan.
03:37At ang 10% na ito ay hindi po sasapat para pagandahin at pondohan ang infrastructure ng ating mga kooperatiba.
