First of three parts

By BONG D. FABE of Mindanao Daily News

CAGAYAN de Oro City–– With Mindanao’s power demand forecasted to increase by 2,600 megawatts (MW) in the next 18 years, proponents and advocates of clean renewable energy sources in the southern Philippine island are urging the Department of Energy (DoE) to follow its own Philippine Energy Plan (PEP) 2009-2030 and not add to the power woes of the country’s second-largest island group.

In a memorandum addressed to the Comelec en banc and signed by election officials in Lanao del Sur, led by Lanao del Sur Provincial Election Supervisor lawyer Nasib Yasin, they said they were “surprised” by reports of their replacement. “It is sad to note that the rationale of such plan is unknown to the undersigned personnel and still in quandary thereof, there being no information except through minute-resolution,” they said. The Comelec resolution said: “Anent to (sic) the plan to deploy EOs from non-ARMM areas to be Another billboard proclaiming infrastructure projects of Cagayan de Oro City first district Rep.
