Caraga as the 2012 National Kabalikat Awardee for local government unit

help the marginalized sector including the out-of-school youth.
"Jobs through technical vocational program
contributed a lot in addressing the needs of our out-of-school youths. They may

education. We also provided trainings to our marginalized sector which include
the women," he cited.

government of Surigao del Sur has provided a building for TESDA provincial
office, provided them free water and electricity among other logistics because

certainly have done good jobs for the previous years and definitely more jobs
are to be done," expressed Sunico. (VLG/JPG/PIA-Caraga)
SURSECO II assures sufficient power supply in
the next 20 years in SurSur
By Nida Grace P. Barcena
TANDAG CITY, Surigao del Sur, Sept. 9 (PIA)
– The Surigao del Sur II Electric Cooperative (SURSECO II) assures the public
of sufficient supply for the next 20 years, an official said recently.
This was reveled by SURSECO II General Manager
Engr. Iglorio R. Hinayon during the press conference conducted in time with the
celebration of their 35th Founding Anniversary held recently at the board Room
of the SURSECO II Main Office in Tandag City.
Engr. Hinayon said, “by 2015 SURSECO II will
have a secured power supply because right now we are entering into a contract
with the different private power companies.”
He cited the following companies: the Therma
South Incorporation which will operate accordingly on the last quarter next
year; the GN Power which will commence its operation on 2017; the 640 KW
Sagbayan Hydro Power Plant which will operate probably next year; and the 7.8
MW Surigao del Sur Power Plant which will commercialized this year.
“The average contract period of these power
plants will last for at least 15 years,” Hinayon said.
Accordingly, the present peak demand of SURSECO
II covering the 1st district of this province composed of 13 municipalities and
Tandag City reaches around 13 MW with a five percent (5%) increase of demand
per year.
Manager Hinayon further explained that it is the
responsibility of SURSECO II to secure its power supply by entering into power
supply agreements with the private companies. The power rate will be higher as
he emphasized because these power plants are expensive compared to the
hydro-run electricity.
The consumers should also weight the impact of
the higher power rate versus less frequency of brownouts which will give
considerable effect to the economy and the consumers themselves, he added.
“Surigaonons are really secured as far as the
demand for the power supply is concerned," Hinayon said. (NGBT/with a
