LAGAWE,
Ifugao-The local electric cooperative here
has energized 45 sitios under the government's Sitio Electrification Program (SEP) Batch
II this year.
JovitaAllaga
of the Ifugao Electric Cooperative(IFELCO)
Inc. said in an interview in the
daily radio program “Humangan with PIA”
that the 45 sitios are found in seven towns of Alfonso Lista, Lamut, Asipulo,
Kiangan, Lagawe, Hungduan and Hingyon.
The
said sitios previously received power from solar energy but now the
households are happy to be connected to the IFELCO power
lines.
Funded
by the National Electrification Administration (NEA), Allaga said that the said
program is one of the priority programs of the Aquino Administration wherein
all sitios should be energized by year 2015.
Meantime,
listeners from Tinoc town whose places are not yet energized have texted
requesting Allaga to include their sitios/barangays in their list for
energization which prompted her to air live the requirements for them to
accomplish.
According
to Richard Basilio of Sitio Buhyu in Barangay Binoblayan, Tinoc, they need
electricity for their business along the provincial road leading to Tinoc where
buses stop for passengers to eat. “Passengers usually want something cold to
drink but we cannot provide them since we do not have electricity,” Basilio
said.
Allaga
assured Basilio that they will act on the said request since that is their
mandate under the Aquino Administration.
