Thirty-one students from Paref Westbridge, a private school in Iloilo City, toured MORE Power’s substation and control center.
The educational tour, initiated by the Tuburan Adventure Club, gave the students an idea of “what transpires inside a modern power distribution utility.”
“Very highly developed for Panay kag overall kanami. Very good. It would really help kung ma-electric engineer ko,” Querubin Villanueva III, one of the students, said
The tour is part of the initiatives to expose the youth sector to more complicated processes so they may understand it at a young age.
“It’s very fun to look at our power station that runs our electricity. It’s nice, it’s good to take a look at our substations, including the ones in our school. The transformer, stuff like that. It’s good for our electricity,” Blaise Francis Nufable, also a student, said.
Since then, MORE Power has opened its doors to various institutions who wish to see what goes behind the power utility’s doors and how it delivers seamless service in Iloilo City.
“Thank you so much to Mr. Roel Castro (MORE Power CEO and president) and the People here at MORE Power Iloilo for giving us the opportunity to tour their facilities at how electricity is distributed to our houses, the purpose of substations, the SCADA and how they are maximizing the efficiency of power distribution,” said Gavin Hermollata.
“Now na intindihan how electricity reaches their home from the main source to the transmission to the distribution lines to the home. Mas na intindihan how,” school administrator Rene Tan said.
