4. In the continuous power price hike is NGCP have a part causing this
hikes ?

On Friday, Manila Electric Co. cited NGCPs transmission charge as one

of the reasons for the increase in electricity rates in February. It said the
charge imposed by NGCP rose by 15 centavos per kilowatt-hour
because the increase of the power delivery service charges after the grid
operator implemented the higher interim maximum annual revenue
(iMAR) provisionally approved by the ERC for last year.. It also said
higher ancillary service charges also contributed to the increase. -- Victor
