Meralco |

Villafuerte hits utility’s alleged ghost delivery |

Lopez-controlled First Gen Corp.’s annual stockholders’ meeting
Wednesday, Oscar Lopez, the group’s chairman, said he is leaving
it to Meralco shareholders to decide the fate of the utility amid
the reported threat of government takeover primarily over the
company’s exorbitant rates.
