Electricity billing in the Philippines tends to be higher compared to other countries, and ESL schools often impose surcharges. Therefore, it is advisable to adopt energy-saving habits.
An electricity bill typically includes a basic charge and an additional charge. Conserving power can help keep your charges within the basic electricity bill, while leaving appliances on constantly may lead to significant extra fees.
