The holidays are the most wonderful time of the year.

It’s also the time for decorations, Christmas trees and a large array of holiday lighting displays. Christmas lights add beauty and a real holiday spirit to the season, yet they can also drain your electricity and create safety issues. Here are some electrical safety tips to ensure your holidays stay bright.

1. Plan your displays accordingly. Prior to decorating, determine how many outlets are available and where they are located.
2. Inspect all electrical decorations for damage before use. Cracked or damaged sockets, loose or bare wires and loose connections may cause a serious shock, even start a fire.
3. Match power needs (amperage) of electrical products with amperage rating of extension cords.
4. When putting up outdoor decorations, exercise caution when decorating near power lines. Keep yourself and your equipment at least 10 feet from power lines.
5. Avoid overloading outlets and only plug one high-wattage appliance into each outlet. Overloaded outlets are a common cause of holiday fires.
6. Never connect more than three strings of incandescent lights. More than three strands may not only trip a circuit breaker, but also can cause a fire.
7. Make sure spotlights used to illuminate decorations are well-ventilated, protected from weather and a safe distance from flammable items.
8. Always unplug electrical decorations before replacing bulbs or fuses.
9. Turn off all indoor and outdoor electrical decorations before leaving home or going to sleep.
10. To avoid problems, always purchase electrical decorations and lights from reputable retailers.

In addition, faulty wiring and an overused outlet can create potential hazards that could dim the brightness of your holiday celebration.

Make your Christmas bright by putting safety first in everything you do.

NEA Statement on the Enactment of Republic Act 11039 (EC Resiliency Fund Law)

 

The NEA welcomes and expresses deep appreciation for the President’s signing into law of Republic Act 11039 or the Electricity Cooperative (EC) Resiliency Fund Law.

 

We believe this new measure reflects the Administration’s commitment to support ECs and member-consumer-owners, as it assures the immediate rehabilitation of power facilities damaged by natural calamities and relieves ECs and MCOs of the financial burden stemming from the cost of reconstruction.

 

We likewise extend our gratitude to Congress, particularly the Energy committees of both the Philippine Senate and the House of Representatives, as the EC Resiliency Fund Law addresses the needs of ECs that require subsidies when disaster strikes.

 

The NEA looks forward to working with Congress and the Department of Budget and Management to ensure that the budgetary requirements of RA 11039 are fully integrated in the 2019 NEA budget. ###

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
