Chiz: No excuse for reckless decisions of dam operators Opposition Senator Chiz Escudero said on Saturday there is no excuse for reckless decisions when lives are at stake. Escudero said the admission of the National Power Corporation that its guidelines were outdated shouldn’t automatically excuse them from any possible prosecution. “I am more determined than

ever to assist the victims in filing a class suit against the operators of dams. Their greed was more devastating than the rains brought about by Pepeng and Ondoy,” he said. Escudero added that Napocor has drowned the residents of Pangasinan yet again in Friday’s hearing after their executives commended their dam operators for

4 months remaining to file Filipino WWII veterans equity compensation claims Filipino World War II (WWII) veterans have until February 16, 2010 to file their claims for the FVEC benefit that was included among the many provisions of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 passed by the U.S. Congress and signed into law February 17, 2009 by U.S. President Barack Obama. The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 formally recognizes the service of qualified Filipino WWII veterans as active military service in the U.S. Armed Forces for purposes of this law. It authorizes a one-time lumpsum payment of US $15,000 to eligible Filipino WW II

veterans with U.S. citizenship and US $9,000 to non-U.S. citizen veterans. The United States has approved US $198 million for the benefit of all eligible Filipino WWII veterans. This additional payment will not change or affect other benefits an individual may be currently receiving. The United States Embassy, through its United States Department of Veterans Affairs Manila Regional Office (USDVA), has already processed more than 11,000 FVEC claims and has paid out almost $100 million for this benefit.

Estoriaen ni maestro Jorge Rabara Sanchez ti pasintawi ti datdatlag a Sarukod ni Propeta Moises kadagiti estudiantena iti maikapat a tukad iti Rosales National High School.

OCT. 26-NOV. 1, 2009 SUNDAY NOVEMBER 01, 2009 All Saints Day Ps 24:1b-2, 3-4ab, 5-6 Lord, this is the people that longs to see your face. 1st Reading: Rev 7:2-4, 9-14 I saw another angel ascending from the sunrise, carrying the seal of the living God, and he cried out with a loud voice to the four angels empowered to harm the earth and the sea, “Do not harm the earth or the sea or the trees until we have sealed the servants of our God upon their foreheads.” After this I saw a great crowd, from every nation, race, people and tongue, standing before the throne and the Lamb, and they cried out with a loud voice, “Who saves but our God who sits on the throne and the Lamb?” All the angels were around the throne, the elders and the four living creatures; they then bowed before the throne with their faces to the ground to worship God. They said, Amen. Praise, glory, wisdom, thanks, honor, power and strength to our God forever and ever. Amen! At that moment, one of the elders spoke up and said to me, “Who are these people clothed in white, and where did they come from?” I answered, “Sir, it is you who know this.” The elder replied, “They are those who have come out of the great persecution; they have washed and made their clothes white in blood of the lamb. 2nd Reading: 1 Jn 3:1-3 See what singular love the Father has for us: we are called children of God, and we really are. This is why the world does not know us, because it did not know him. Beloved, we are God’s children and what we shall be has not yet been shown. Yet when he appears in his glory, we know that we shall be like him, for then we shall see him as he is. All who have such a hope try to be pure as he is pure. Gospel: Mt 5:1-12 Jesus sat down and his disciples gathered around him. Then he spoke and began to teach them: “Fortunate are those who have the spirit of the poor, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Fortunate are those who mourn, they shall be comforted. Fortunate are those who hunger and thirst for justice, for they shall be satisfied. Fortunate are the merciful, for they shall find mercy. Fortunate are those with a pure heart, for they shall see God. Fortunate are those who work for peace, they shall be called children of God. Fortunate are those who are persecuted for the cause of justice, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Fortunate are you, when people insult you and persecute you and speak all kinds of evil against you because you are my followers. Be glad and joyful, for a great reward is kept for you in God. Reflections A priest once asked a group of children if anyone could define a saint. One youngster, thinking of the beautiful stained glass windows in her parish church said, “A saint is a person whom the light shines throughy.” Not bad for a child. Not bad at all. The saints whose images are depicted in stained glass and on holy cards are famous for allowing God’s light to shine through their words and actions. The apostles, martyrs, doctors, virgins, religious and other holy men and women whose feasts are celebrated through the Church year offer examples to us of how to live so as to bring God’s light into the world that knows all too much darkness. The great Feast of All Saints evokes the memories of the countless women and men of faith who abide with the Lord for all eternity. This feast also challenges us to live our lives both with our sights set on the good things that await us in heaven, and with determination to make a positive difference in the lives of the poor and less fortunate.

Table 2. Initial DSM Rate Caps Per Customer Class

IN THE MATTER OF THE APPLICATION FOR APPROVAL OF AN ADJUSTMENT IN RATES UNDER THE RULES FOR SETTING ELECTRIC COOPERATIVES’ WHEELING RATES (RSEC-WR) WITH PRAYER FOR PROVISIONAL AUTHORITY ERC CASE NO. 2009- ____ RC ILOCOS SUR ELECTRIC COOPERATIVE, Inc. (ISECO) Applicant x-----------------------------------------------------x APPLICATION

15.

As a Group “F” EC, ISECO is also authorized to collect a Member’s Contribution for Capital Expenditure Rate in the amount of PhP 0.2178/ kWh;

16.

Considering the abovementioned rates, ISECO’s rate caps would be as follows: 1.) DSM – PhP0.9900; and 2.) MCC – PhP0.2178/kwh;

COMES NOW, applicant ILOCOS SUR ELECTRIC COOPERATIVE, INC. (ISECO for brevity), through the undersigned counsel, and unto this Honorable Commission, most respectfully states:

ISECO is an electric cooperative duly organized and existing under and by virtue of the laws of the Republic of the Philippines, with principal office at Bigbiga, Santiago, Ilocos Sur, where it may be served with summons and other legal processes, represented in this instance by its General Manager, Cesar G. Gironella, of legal age, Filipino and with office address also at ISECO Office.

2. Herein applicant is the exclusive franchise holder issued by the National Electrification Administration (NEA) to operate an electric light and power services in the cities/municipalities of the province of ILOCOS SUR, namely: Tagudin, Sta Cruz, Sta. Lucia, Candon, Santiago, San Esteban, Sta. Maria, Narvacan, Santa, Vigan, Bantay, Caoayan, San Ildefonso, San Vicente, Sta. Catalina, Sto. Domingo, Magsingal, San Juan, Cabugao, Sinait, Burgos, Lidlidda, San Emilio, Nagbukel, Cervantes, Quirino, Sugpon, Del Pilar, Galimuyod, Banayoyo, Suyo, Salcedo, Alilem and Sigay; 3.

Section 43(f) of Republic Act No. 9136, otherwise known as the “Electric Power Industry Reform Act of 2001” (EPIRA) and Section 5 (a), Rule 15 of its Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR) authorizes the ERC to establish a methodology for setting distribution wheeling rates;

4. By virtue of said authority, as early as 2006 the ERC embarked on a process to establish a new rate-setting methodology for determining electric cooperatives’ (ECs) rates; 5. From 2006 to 2009, the ERC conducted several public consultations with the industry stakeholders to discuss the details of the new regulatory framework for fixing the electric cooperatives’ wheeling rates; 6. ISECO participated in the abovementioned public consultations, and likewise submitted data/documents required by the ERC during the drafting of the said rules; 7.

Said regulatory framework is embodied in the Rules for Setting the Electric Cooperatives’ Wheeling Rates (RSEC-WR);

8. The regulatory framework as embodied in the RSEC-WR seeks to develop a regulatory regime that encourages efficiency in the operations of the ECs and provides incentives for their good performance, from a regulatory perspective, the framework seeks to develop a regime that eases regulatory burden and can be easily implemented and monitored; 9.

On May 12, 2009, ISECO’s Board of Directors passed Board Resolution No. 88 s. 2009, supporting and endorsing the General Managers’ resolution imploring upon the ERC to implement the new rate setting methodology embodied in the RSEC-WR;

10. After holding another round of public consultations nationwide, particularly in the locality wherein the electric cooperatives operate, the ERC issued the final RSEC-WR on September 22, 2009 and the same was published in the Manila Bulletin on September 24, 2009; 11. Under the RSEC-WR, ISECO was categorized under Group “F”; 12. As a Group “F” EC, ISECO’s Operating Revenue Requirement (ORR) per kWh as determined based on the methodology embodied in the RSEC-WR, is PhP0.9900 13. Further, ISECO is required to implement a new customer class, as follows:

Table 1. Existing Customer Class and New Customer Class

14. After functionalizing and allocating its ORR and using the new customer class, ISECO’s initial Distribution, Supply and Metering (DSM) rate caps are as follows:

17. ISECO intends to move to the rate caps during the transition period as follows:

He said that aside from the Department of Public Works and Highway, they also pinned the fault of their decisions to PAGASA.
