Francis Joseph “Chiz” G. Escudero, a Philippine senator since 2007 to present and former Sorsogon congressman in the Pillars of the New Republic from 1999 to 2001 shared his vision on 100% energization of the whole Sorsogon province when he delivered his speech at the SORECO II’s 29th Annual Membership Assembly (AGMA).
The senator understood the struggles of SORECO II before obtaining an “A” categorization in 2017 taking into account the drawbacks brought by various fast changing facets in the electric industry and by ravaging typhoons. He appealed for MCOs to cooperate and support SORECO II in order for the coop to regain its strength thus become more efficient and improve delivery of services to its end users. Senator Chiz discussed his programs on sitio energization. “An sakuyang programa mapa energize an mga dakulang sitios anay, tapos an ibang mga sitios na saday, pasiring na kami sa pagpapahiwas kan mga barangay sites tanganing may options an mga nag iistar sa mga hararayo na sitio na magbalyo o magpabalay sa sentro kan barangay maski didto sinda nag uuma o naglalati, an importante may oportunidad sinda magkailaw,” the guest speaker said.
“Sa parte kan SORECO DOS pinapa-estudyaran ko na kun pano asin gurano an kaipuhan tanganing sa irarom ta na paagihon an gabos na wire kan SORECO,” he added. “Here’s why: We are ravaged whenever hit by typhoons resulting to 2-3 mos downtime until power is restored and the lavish expenses on the coop and government’s part,” he averred.
“An Sorsogon nasa Eastern seaboard kaya nag aagi pirmi an bagyo. Pag nasa irarom na an wires, pag agi san bagyo ma-switch off na lang kita, pag hali kan bagyo ma-switch on na lang kita lain na maapektuhan an serbisyo kan SORECO,” good senator explained. #mpd
