The inspection aims to ensure compliance as approved by the Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC).

The meeting, held at MORESCO-1’s premises, brought together key personnel from Transco and MORESCO-1 to oversee the assessment firsthand. Among the attendees were Rennedy Anthony B.

The inspection focused on evaluating the condition and functionality of MORESCO-O’s overhead sub-transmission – 69kV line-assets currently under amortization. This meticulous scrutiny is crucial to ensure that the assets meet prescribed standards and are capable of facilitating seamless power transmission within MORESCO-1’s service area.

Commenting on the collaborative effort, Engr. Elarmo stated, “The joint inspection underscores our commitment to ensuring the integrity and efficiency of power transmission infrastructure. By working closely with MORESCO-1, we aim to address any potential issues proactively and uphold the highest standards of service delivery.”

The collaboration between Transco and MORESCO-1 reflects a broader initiative within the power sector to streamline operations, enhance reliability, and ultimately, provide improved services to consumers.

As the inspection progresses, stakeholders remain optimistic about the outcomes, expecting it to lay the groundwork for further advancements in power transmission infrastructure in the region.

MORESCO-1 joins the Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP) Laguindingan in the observance of March as FIRE PREVENTION MONTH

March is annually recognized nationwide as Fire Prevention Month.

Today morning, March 1st, MORESCO-1, along with the Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP) of Laguindingan, local government units, firefighting agencies, and educational institutions, conducted a motorcade and various activities aimed at promoting fire prevention measures.

You might be curious as to why March was chosen as Fire Prevention Month. The origins trace back to 1967 when President Ferdinand Marcos signed Proclamation No. 115-A designating the year 1967 and every subsequent year as Safety and Accident Prevention Year. This proclamation allocated each month of the year to focus on a specific safety and accident prevention theme. March was designated as Fire Prevention Month due to historical data indicating a surge in fire incidents during this period, as reported by the National Statistical Coordination Board.

The proclamation aimed to foster a culture of safety consciousness throughout the year, emphasizing the importance of preventive measures such as caution, vigilance, sobriety, common sense, and respect for the law. Therefore, it is encouraged to actively participate in fire prevention drills and activities in workplaces, schools, or local communities as readiness is always valuable.

In Case of FIRE and other EMERGENCIES, please IMMEDIATELY call the hotline numbers in your localities.
