To Whom It May Concern:
Good day! We are senior students from the University of Santo Tomas and we are currently working on our Thesis paper as our major and final requirement. Our paper aims to study the new program designed by the Energy Regulatory Commission which is the Prepaid Retail Electric Service. The focus of our study is the viability and effectiveness of this program in the Philippine setting.
In line with this, we would want to ask your permission if we can ask some data which is related to the electric service program of ERC. Some of the data which we will be very useful in our study, but not limited to these, are the following; city or region in the Philippines adopting this method, number of consumers using the program already, average consumption of households in using the electricity with the adoption of the new program, possible effects of the program to price of electricity, energy consumption and energy distribution.
Please be assured that all data from your office will be kept confidential and will only be used for academic purposes.
We are hoping for your most favorable response.
Sincerely Yours,
