Makikinabang ang mahihirap na pamilya sa ilulunsad na Lifeline Rate program ng pamahalaan sa susunod na buwan, ayon sa pahayag ng Malacañang nitong Linggo.
Sa pahayag ng Presidential Communications Office (PCO), ang Lifeline Rate ay subsidized rate na ibinibigay sa mga kuwalipikadong low-income electricity consumer na hindi kayang bayaran nang buo ang kanilang bill.
"Among the households who can apply for the Lifeline Rate program are the beneficiaries of the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps), or customers considered to be living below the poverty threshold set by the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA)," ayon sa PCO.

"Only one Distribution Utility (DU)/Electric Cooperative (EC) service per qualified household can be granted a lifeline rate. In case there are more than one beneficiaries who apply for the lifeline rate from the same household, using the same service account, only one application will be granted with lifeline rate while the remaining application/s will be disapproved," pahayag nito.
Ang mga kuwalipikadong benepisyaryo ay maaaring magsumite ng Lifeline Rate application form sa DU at EC.
Sinabi pa ng PCO, kinakailangang ding iharap ng mga benepisyaryo ang kanilang electricity bill at isang government-issued identification (ID) card na may pirma at address.
