| The Bureau of Customs (BOC) facilitated the distribution of abandoned balikbayan boxes under the custody of the Manila International Container Port (MICP) on April 21, 2026, as part of its sustained efforts to return undelivered shipments to their rightful owners and address long-standing concerns of affected overseas Filipino workers (OFWs), in line with the directive of President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. to protect the welfare of Filipino workers abroad.

This initiative forms part of the BOC’s continuing efforts to support OFWs who were victimized by unscrupulous freight forwarders. By facilitating the recovery and distribution of these abandoned packages, the Bureau helps ease the burden on affected OFWs and their families.

Manila Electric Co. (Meralco) customers will receive a reprieve on their electricity bills starting next month after the Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC) ordered the utility to accelerate the multibillion-peso refund to insulate households from global energy volatility.

In a statement on Wednesday, April 22, the ERC said it directed the country’s largest power distributor to refund approximately ₱14 billion to consumers beginning in May. Under the revised schedule, Meralco will apply a deduction of ₱0.2511 per kilowatt-hour to monthly bills, according to the ERC. The adjustment will appear as “AWAT (Refund)/Collect” on billing statements and is expected to continue through next year.
