No more rotational brownouts in the Island Garden City of Samal (IGACOS) as all the modular generator sets of Northern Davao Electric Cooperative, Inc. and Mindoro Grid Corporation / IGACOS Light and Power Company (ILPC) are now operational starting June 5, 2023.
NORDECO, the power cooperative with franchise over the tourist island in Davao del Norte, in press statement said that it is no longer implementing rotational brownout/load curtailment in the Island Garden City of Samal (IGACOS) since the modular generators became operational.
These modular generator sets are enough to supply power distributed by NORDECO to IGACOS, said the power coop which had been hobbled previously by power supply due to generation problem.
NORDECO said it is working closely with the City Government of Samal to seek additional standby/reserve power supply to address the increasing load of IGACOS.
NORDECO said it is fully committed to ensuring a long-term strategy to provide a stable and sustainable power supply in IGACOS. We will continue to exhaust every means possible to transform the lives of the people of IGACOS and the Island in general.
Malacañang on Wednesday denied that President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. has gone on a “bill-vetoing spree” after the Chief Executive vetoed five measures in his first month in office.
Press Secretary Trixie Cruz-Angeles said Marcos exercised his power to veto these five bills as part of the legislative process.
One of the bills vetoed by Marcos on July 27 was House Bill No. 10554, a bill expanding the franchise area of the Davao Light and Power Co. in Davao del Norte “due to its susceptibility to infringe on the franchise coverage area of the North Davao Electric Cooperative.”
On his first day in office on July 1, Marcos vetoed a bill that sought to establish a special economic zone in San Miguel Corp.’s Bulacan Airport City, noting its “substantial fiscal risks.”
The President vetoed two bills on July 29 – a bill proposing tax exemptions to the honoraria, allowances, and other benefits given to election workers because it “runs counter to the objective of the government’s Comprehensive Tax Reform Program” and a bill creating the Philippine Transportation Safety Board (PTSB) because its proposed creation “is likely to create functional duplication, confusion as to authority, ineffectiveness, and deficiency in the performance of the responsibilities” as they are already being carried out by different agencies.
