SORECO II rolls-out rescue vehicle for member consumers

A rescue/emergency vehicle was recently-launched by SORECO II board and management, as part of the cooperative’s social responsiblity program, for the use of the member-consumer-owners and employees who will need it in cases of emergencies in order to save or preserve human lives.
Atty. Percival G. Alvarez, SORECO II General Manager (GM) made such proposal which was readily approved by the board of directors through Board Resolution No. 271 by converting one the coop’s service vehicles, the starex van into a rescue transport vehicle. In the said resolution, the board stated that an earlier Board Resolution No. 221 authorized the general manager to allocate fund for the establishment of SORECO II mobile clinic which will serve both the employees and its member-consumers and to come up with a medical program in relation thereto. Selected employees of SORECO II who have undergone extensive trainings on disaster risk reduction management conducted by the concerned government agencies in the locality will man the rescue vehicle.

The putting-up of the SORECO II rescue vehicle is also in consonance with the institutional governance parameters, particularly on good governance, customer service and satisfaction, under the 2018 enhanced EC overall performance assessment criteria set by the National Electrification Administration. # rjc
