Climaco handed over to ZAMCELCO a cheque worth P53.264 million as part of the local government’s assistance to electric consumers. 

“Thank you so much Mayor (for the water subsidy),” said Danah Tulawie on her comment on Climaco’s Facebook page.

Chut Guevarra also thanked the mayor. “Gracias na subsidy Mayor Beng.” 

“Thank you Mayor Beng,” said Liza Sta. Maria and Romeyln Calumpita. 

Jane Fernando said: “Thank you Mayor Beng. It’s a big help for all of us. Keep safe always and God bless.”

ZAMCELCO General Manager Gannymede Tiu received the cheque representing the local government’s cash assistance of P500 each for the 106,528 eligible and registered members.

Tiu also praised Climaco for the assistance and said the subsidy will greatly help the poor electricity consumers, and also the collection efficiency of ZAMCELCO. “This is a big help to the marginalized electricity consumers considering the situation now,” he said.

He said the P53.264 million cash assistance will also be used to pay ZAMCELCO power suppliers and transmission services. “These are pass-through charges and the money goes to power suppliers,” Tiu said, referring to fees paid to other companies who operate and maintain the electricity network. 

Climaco said the cheque forms part of the local government’s second wave of relief assistance to residents affected by the Covid-19 pandemic.

Last month, Climaco also handed over some P29.36 million in cheque to the Zamboanga City Water District or ZCWD as part of its assistance to tens of thousands of bonafide concessionaires. 

ZCWD led by General Manager Leonardo Rey Vasquez and the (Chairman of the) Board led by Jose Vicente Atilano III received the cheque.

Climaco said the P500 one-time cash subsidy to water concessionaires was also part of the City Government's second wave of assistance. Just like in ZAMCELCO, the subsidy will be credited to the account of all bonafide water concessionaires upon payment of their bill. “This has been our promise to the people of Zamboanga,” she said.

The ZCWD will deduct the P500 subsidy from the water bill of residential and semi-commercial accounts. And for those with water consumption of less than P500 a month, the remaining amount will be deducted in succeeding bills until the subsidy is consumed. The deduction will be reflected in the consumers’ water bills and covered by an official receipt. (Zamboanga Post)
