The Pioneer Electric Cooperative of the Philippines, MORESCO-1 and the Joint Masonic Districts of RX-A & RX-B, Maximo B. Ratunil Masonic Lodge UD with VW Rael V. Yap and WB Josan A. Gonzaga  in coordination with Congressman Atty Lordan Suan and MORESCO-1 District 11 (Talakag and CDO) Board of Director Bryan Lucky Z. Noble rolled out the “Let There Be Light” – Energization and Gift Giving Ceremony on Friday, December 30, 2022 at Tignapoloan, Cagayan de Oro City.

Also in the ceremony were MSEAC, Barangay officials and residents and MORESCO-1’s Talakag Service Area Manager Engr. Reniel Cabantac.

On 21 September 2011, the Sitio Electrification program (SEP) aimed at improving the lives of the poor Filipinos started. 

This program is hoped to carry out economic boost which would lead to job generation and bring in investments to the rural areas.

 With a target of lighting up the sitios in the entire country, the residents shall have the house wiring cost, labor cost, meter base, 30-meter service drop and all the structural materials to be installed at no cost. The only obligation on their part is to pay membership fee, Bill Deposit equivalent to 1month estimated consumption and other incidental expenses for membership and to secure the Building Permit at the Building Official Office prior to connection.

 This also brings immediate challenge to the NEA and the electric cooperatives, a test of unity, dedication, competence and excellence.

Driven by a passion to carry on its rural electrification mission, MORESCO-1 committed to energize 90 sitios on the launching year of the program.

MORESCO-1 joins the nation in the celebration of the martyrdom of Dr. José Protacio Rizal Mercado y Alonso Realonda whose life and works inspired a revolution that paved the way to the establishment of the Republic of the Philippines.

In his commemorative message today, President Ferdinand Marcos, Jr. urged Filipinos to embody Dr. Jose Rizal’s patriotism and perseverance, as the country marks the 126th anniversary of the hero’s passing. 

Marcos led a flag-raising ceremony and offered a wreath of flowers in commemoration of the hero’s death in a short program held at Rizal Park. 

In his message, Marcos reminded the public of how Rizal helped enlighten Filipinos about oppression and corruption under colonizers “not through a violent uprising but through a peaceful protest.” 

He said he hoped the hero’s “determination to achieve real change” would make Filipinos vigilant of the “social ills that may threaten our liberty.” 

“True heroism does not only mean offering your life for your country, but also fighting your own silent battles and working within your capacities to bring about a better future we wish to see for the present and succeeding generations,” Marcos added. 

Rizal’s novels “Noli me Tangere” and “El Filibusterismo” “were viewed as the guiding force for other patriots to rally for the country’s cause,” in the 1896 revolution against Spanish colonial rule, according to the National Historical Commission of the Philippines.

Rizal was executed on Dec. 30, 1896 by a firing squad in Bagumbayan Field (now Rizal Park) on orders of Spanish authorities. 
 
General Emilio Aguinaldo in 1898 declared Dec. 30 as a day of national mourning. In 1902, the Philippine Commission enacted a law declaring the date Rizal Day and made it an official holiday.
