Power distribution utility More Electric and Power Corporation (MORE Power) has started laying out electric poles in the town of Pavia, Iloilo province.
Under Republic Act (RA) 11918, Pavia is one of the 16 areas covered by the expansion of the Iloilo City-based power distributor.
According to Iloilo Second District Representative Mike Gorriceta, the people of Pavia are “excited” that MORE Power will soon begin to operate in the town.
“Pagkita namon poste nagalayout na, people were excited especially ang aton mga dalagku nga mga investors,” he said.
“Makita man nila nga kung may nagakay-o sang poste, may ara gid nagabantay sa idalum. May ara gid naga-uniform kag nakagear gid mga tawo. It simply shows how serious ang company sa trabaho,” Gorriceta added.
The lawmaker recently paid a visit to the facilities of MORE Power to personally check the company’s daily operations, modern substation, and how they handle customer service complaints and concerns.
“Impressed gid ako kay nakita ko gid nga serious and determined gid ang MORE Power to invest which is indi lango-lango,” he said.
Gorriceta is one of the authors of House Bill 10306, which is now RA 11918. The law allows the Razon-led power firm to operate outside Iloilo City.
MORE Power said the Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC) is currently reviewing its application for a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity (CPCN).IMT
