CSR – MORESCO-1

The recent electrification ceremony held last Friday August 23, 2024, once again marks a significant step in improving living conditions for the fifty-five recipient households in three barangays—San Pedro, Jampason and Kamelon —all of Initao. This event is part of the Sitio Electrification Program (SEP) led by the National Electrification Administration (NEA) in partnership with the Misamis Oriental-1 Rural Electric Service Cooperative, Inc (MORESCO-1). The ceremony celebrated the symbolic turnover and energization, which are crucial in the government’s effort to achieve full electrification of all sitios across the Philippines, aiming to boost economic development and alleviate poverty.

During this seventh installment of a planned series of eight energization ceremonies, electricity was successfully delivered to several areas:

• Purok 5A, San Pedro , Initao: 16 households received electricity with 7 electric posts installed, costing a total of PHP 586,555.11 for distribution lines (P490,655.37) and house wiring materials (P95,699.74).

• Purok 1B, Jampason, Initao: 11 households received electricity with 3 electric posts installed, costing a total of PHP 382,047.50 for distribution lines (P287,151.36) and house wiring materials (P382,047.50).

• Lunusan, Kamelon, Initao: 28 households received electricity with 33 electric posts installed, costing a total of PHP 2,916,285.16 for distribution lines (P2,670,421.11) and house wiring materials (245,864.05).

Gracing the occasion were Hon Mercy Grace “Gagay” J. Acain, and the Punong Barangay | Barangay Captains and few members of the Barangay Councils of San Pedro, Jampason and Kamelon. Also present and spoke with the MCOs and SEP recipients were Director Edgar G. Buhian and Manticao Service Area Manager Engr. Jogiepril Legaspi.

SEP is a pivotal component of the government’s strategy to close the development gap in rural regions by supplying electricity to isolated sitios and puroks. These enclaves, often far from barangay centers, face substantial challenges due to the lack of reliable power. The program allocates resources for building distribution lines and house wiring, ensuring that eligible households can access modern energy, thereby enhancing their quality of life.

NORTHERN MINDANAO ECS JOIN FORCES TO IMPROVE METERING FACILITIES IN MARAWI’S GROUND ZERO

August 21, 2024August 21, 2024 admin

August 20, 2024 – A task force created by the Northern Mindanao Electric Cooperatives Association (NORMECA) has successfully initiated a major collaboration to enhance metering facilities in Marawi City, the first phase of which started last August 18 and to be completed on August 23 which involve the installation and improvement of 380 commercial metering units. This is a phase-driven work to be executed by Engineering teams established by PHILATMEC – NORMECA.

The task force, known as TASK FORCE LASURECO, brings together eight electric cooperatives from Region 10 , showcasing a robust collaboration within the region. The participating electric cooperatives include Misamis Oriental 1 Rural Electric Service Cooperative (MORESCO-1), Misamis Oriental 2 Electric Cooperative (MORESCO-2), Misamis Occidental 1 Electric Cooperative Inc (MOELCI-1), Misamis Occidental 2 Electric Cooperative Inc (MOELCI-2), First Bukidnon Electric Cooperative, Inc (FIBECO), Bukidnon Second Electric Cooperative, Inc (BUSECO), Camiguin Electric Cooperative, Inc (CAMELCO), and Lanao del Norte Electric Cooperative, Inc. (LANECO). These are the 8 Electric coops – composing NORMECA.

NORMECA President Nonito M. Labis, DVM, during the opening ceremonies in LASURECO office complex expressed his gratitude for the dedication of the electric cooperatives, noting that the project will not be possible without the full support of the National Electrification Administration (NEA) and the Philippine Association of Technical Managers of Electric Cooperatives (PHILATMEC).

“This initiative once again will mark a significant milestone in the collective efforts to improve the reliability and accuracy of power distribution in Lanao del Sur in a long run,” Labis stated. “The upgraded metering facilities will enhance the efficiency of commercial energy consumption monitoring, hoping that ultimately this will bring better service delivery for the Marawi community.”

The project underscores the commitment of the electric cooperatives in Northern Mindanao to work together towards a common goal, ensuring that even a sister-EC in the BARMM region will benefit from improved electrical infrastructure. This project is a testament to the strength of collaboration among the electric cooperatives in Region 10.
