MORESCO-1 Delegates Participate in DOE Workshop on IRR for Microgrid Systems Act, LTER Deliberation

admin

Davao City — July 9-10, 2025 — In a steadfast commitment to achieving 100% electrification in its coverage areas, MORESCO-1 sent a three-person delegation to the Department of Energy (DOE)-led workshop and deliberation on the Local Total Electrification Roadmap (LTER) and the recently amended Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR) of the Microgrid Systems Act (Republic Act 11646), held at the Park Inn by Radisson, Davao City.

Representing MORESCO-1 were Raff Shun Rhay M. Laput, Planning and Design Section Head; Evan Lee S. Abregana, OSA Customer Welfare Officer; and Algene M. Andam, LSA Customer Welfare Officer. The delegation participated in the technical deliberations and revisions of MORESCO-1’s LTER for the period 2025–2028, aligning it with the National Total Electrification Roadmap (NTER).

The updated roadmap aims to meet the national government’s mandate of achieving total electrification by 2028, ensuring that every sitio and household—especially in underserved and off-grid areas—has access to reliable electricity.

During the two-day workshop, the DOE formally presented Department Circular No. DC2025-04-0007, which outlines the revised IRR of the Microgrid Systems Act. The amendment streamlines policies and procedures to accelerate deployment of microgrid systems, especially in missionary and last-mile areas.

MORESCO-1’s earlier submission of its LTER in March 2025 underwent evaluation by Engr. Ryan del Mundo of the Total Electrification Administration and Management Division (TEAMD) of the DOE. A one-on-one deliberation followed, where key recommendations and technical comments were discussed, prompting the electric cooperative to revise and enhance its roadmap to ensure conformity with national strategies and electrification targets.

Through this engagement, MORESCO-1 reaffirms its commitment to the government’s energy access for all agenda and continues to be a proactive partner in bringing sustainable power to the farthest reaches of Misamis Oriental.

MORESCO-1’s ISD Conducts Strategic Calibration Meeting with Community Development Officers

admin


Towards a Unified and Empowered Community Engagement Framework for 2026

Happening today at the Emmanuel Pelaez Training Center, the MORESCO-1 Institutional Services Department (ISD) convenes with all its Community Development Officers (CDOs) for a vital calibration meeting aimed at aligning its Performance Management and Reporting System (PMRS) with the cooperative’s recently conducted 2026 Annual Work Planning (AWP) session.

This high-level alignment activity is driven by the cooperative’s overarching strategic anchors for 2026:
“Engaged Member-Consumer-Owners (MCOs)” and “Empowered MCOs.”

These twin pillars of engagement and empowerment guide the ISD’s operational roadmap, ensuring that every CDO and field implementer is attuned not only to metrics and deliverables, but to meaningful and transformative community impact.

The session is designed to harmonize performance indicators, service goals, and community development strategies across MORESCO-1’s coverage areas. It highlights the need for adaptive field execution—taking into account evolving grassroots realities, policy directions, and the cooperative’s commitment to inclusive and participatory governance.

A key highlight of the meeting is the integration of the “12 Transformational Tasks in Community Organizing”—a framework that underscores MORESCO-1’s commitment to sustainable community building, progressive social mobilization, and people-centered development. These tasks serve as benchmarks for evaluating the depth and quality of grassroots engagement, ensuring that community organizing moves beyond compliance to real transformation.

The calibration is expertly facilitated by renowned community development practitioner and academic Dr. Dixon Yasay, and presented in context by Rio M. Vallejo, Member-Consumer Development (MCD) Chief. Mr. Vallejo laid down the recalibrated direction for the CDOs in relation to the field realities, aligned with the goals set forth during the AWP.

Crucially, the session emphasizes the strategic alignment of the CDOs’ mandates with the overarching responsibilities of MORESCO-1’s Board of Directors, especially within their respective electoral districts. As frontline implementers, CDOs are expected to actively support the Board’s district-level initiatives and uphold the cooperative’s vision of empowering every MCO—not just as recipients of electric service, but as active stakeholders in rural electrification and community advancement.

This ongoing activity is part of a broader institutional effort to future-proof MORESCO-1’s community-facing functions, strengthen the feedback loop from field to central planning, and build an ecosystem where leadership, accountability, and grassroots voice converge toward the cooperative’s sustainable growth.
