Energization continues in Iligan City

ILIGAN CITY -  The Iligan Light and Power Incorporated (ILPI) in southern Philippines has finally energized a small district here as part of its continuing efforts to fully provide the whole city with uninterrupted power supply.

Jeffre Opema, of the ILPI, said Purok Dungo-an in the village of Rogongon has been energized and that the project will provide additional assistance to their businesses and students.

"Hopefully kini karon nga project na naabot sa inyong lugar makahatag ug kining dugang kaninyong tabang sa inyong negosyo man gali or sa mga estudyante nato sa ilahang pagtuon adunay sila’y suga sa gabii na magamit aduna’y tay mga makinarya na nagkinahanglan og kuryente aduna tay karon makuhaan og supply," he said, adding, the ILPI is committed to provide electricity to all villages.

Opema also highlighted that almost 100% of the city is now covered with electricity, showcasing the progress made in improving access to power.

Jonel Perez, the purok president of Dungo-an, thanked ILPI as their long wait of almost seven years for electricity supply to their area has finally been fulfilled. "Dako kaayo ang pasalamat namo sa mga katawhan na niabot na gyud ang among gipangayo na makuryentehan ang among sitio na mahatagan mi og kahayag," he said.

As part of the project, Opema said ILPI personnel conducted a brief orientation on the proper application process for connecting electricity to homes. They also discussed important guidelines and regulations to ensure the safety of residents and prevent illegal activities such as electricity tapping. The briefing served as a reminder of the related punishments and the importance of adhering to the law, according to Opema.
