This increase will be in the three-month period from June to December. The first installment will be 1000 pesos.
By presidential decree, a “user” figure is created, which allows you to enter in the register your name and the counter associated with your home, the place where you live, your daily home.
We must remember that segmentation recognizes three levels of the consumer, of which only the 10% with the greatest economic ability will pay the full rate without subsidies.
