BALANGA CITY, Bataan, Philippines – The National Electrification Administration (NEA) has announced that the country has achieved 99.4 percent energizing at the barangay level.
NEA administrator Edita Bueno, in her recent visit here, said the Philippine government has so far spent $585 million to energize the country, which she said was minimal compared to the $2.3 billion spent for the mothballed Bataan Nuclear Power Plant in Morong town.
She exhorted the people of Bataan to be proud of the Peninsula Electric Cooperative (Penelco) for energizing all of the province’s 240 barangays as well as all its sitios.
Bataan has the distinct record of being the first province in the country to fully energize all of its 240 barangays in 11 towns and one city.
She lauded Penelco employees headed by general manager Loreto Marcelino for the outstanding accomplishments of the electric cooperative.
Bueno said Penelco is also the first electric cooperative in the country to establish sub-stations in every town and city.
Bueno was guest at the switch-on of 459 sitios in Bataan with the theme “Lighting up the Land of the Heroes.” – Ric Sapnu, Philippine Star
