Clean, sustainable energy in Mindanao sought

By Jasper Marie Oblina-Rucat

of PIA-10

CAGAYAN de Oro City The Department of Energy (DOE), Mindanao Development Authority (MinDA), and the Association of Mindanao Rural Electric Cooperatives, Incorporated (AMRECO) put together a one-stop facilitation to fast track the process of monitoring and approval of Renewable Energy (RE) projects particularly hydropower projects.

Romeo Montenegro, Director for Investment Promotion and Public Affairs Office of Mindanao Development Authority (MinDA), said during the press conference of the 3rd Mindanao Congress of the Advocates for Renewable Energy and Rural Electrification and Development (MinCARED) on October 29 in Cagayan de Oro City, that they have created the Mindanao Power Monitoring Committee to make sure RE projects in Mindanao will be fast tracked.

He said that there are many challenges concerning (RE) projects applications and RE technologies. Location for a diesel or coal plant is easy meanwhile RE is site specific which requires approval of various government agencies like the Indigenous Peoples (IPs) and consideration of land use, among others.

The approval of RE projects is five years, but the committee intends to shorten it to two, Montenegro said.

Right now, the committee is looking into 157 RE projects that they intend to fast track. Once these projects get approved, a combined 1,700 megawatt of clean and sustainable energy will be incorporated in the Mindanao grid.

He said that today we are enjoying 60% renewable, 40% fossil however if we don’t do anything with the one stop for approval of 157 RE projects, then we are looking at 70% 30% reversal of energy mix by 2018 in favor of fossil.

Montenegro explained that the problem with fossil is first the impact to the environment. Second, is that it is 100% imported thus subject to foreign ex-

ALAYBALAY City - The Bukidnon Provincial Office of the Department of Labor and Employment, Regional Office No. X (DOLE-X) held a Joint Assessment (JA) with 50 different-sectored establishments from cities of Malaybalay and Valencia on October 22, 2014 at Sugar Workers Learning Training Center (SWLTC), Malaybalay City.

PUERTO HEALTH CENTER NOW OFFERS FREE BIRTH DELIVERY SERVICES - Cagayan de Oro City Mayor

change fluctuation, market volatility. If prices for coal or diesel go up, then prices for electricity also go up.

Unlike water, sun or biomass that is abundant here that we have not harnessed yet.

Although they are looking at more fossil based technology in the energy mix onwards to 2018, the desire for Mindanao has always been a balance of RE as well as fossil for base load, Montenegro stressed.

However, he said that even though the desire is balance energy mix, RE will still be given priority dispatch.

According to RE Act of 2008, RE technology will be given premium, must be a priority dispatch, over all other technologies. RE technology will be used first. RE Act of 2008 has a Green energy option where there should be a policy already implemented that will mandate industries, companies and even the government to take the green energy option.

He said that the national renewable energy board of DOE is putting together Re-

newable Portfolio Standard (RPS) which will be implemented soon. RPS once implemented will mandate distribution utilities to get part of their sources from RE, not purely fossil or fuel then to invite all other industries to really tap RE sources.

Prices of Electricity According to Sergio Dagooc, AMRECO President, distribution utilities are regulated. Distribution utilities such as the Cagayan Electric and Light Power C ompany (CEPALCO) or Misamis Oriental Rural Electric Cooperative (MORESCO) cannot charge any single centavo without the approval of the Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC).

He said that any increment or reduction of power rate will be done through public hearing. So even if these utilities want to reduce power rate, they cannot under the law.

In terms of which is cheaper, Dagooc said that an electric cooperative under Presidential Decree (PD) 269 as amended by PD

1645 and amended again

by Republic Act RA 10531 is a non-stock, non-profit electric distribution utility whose mandate is total electrification in the countryside on an area coverage basis.

Further, the capitalization to start the cooperative is from the government through the National Electrification Administration (NEA). He said that compared to an electric corporation, members of the electric cooperative can choose their leaders. He said that electric coops hold a general assembly every year to elect or file complaint against the board.

However, he said that they are all private but supervised by NEA. Power readiness in ASEAN integration According to Romeo Montenegro of MinDa, it’s not entirely correct that the Philippines is the most expensive per se because neighboring countries like Indonesia, Malaysia, and others are subsidized.

Electric rates are subsidized because they are oil

producing countries. Indonesia is a coal producing country and therefore their electricity is subsidized.

Brunei is an oil producing country. Many of those countries in the ASEAN have those resources to be able to have subsidized electricity rates, he said.

Montenegro said the power sector is business driven; thus government does not have any hold because it was dictated under EPIRA RA 9136.

On June 8, 2001, President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo signed into law Republic Act 9136, or the Electric Power Industry Reform Act of 2001. Among other benefits, RA 9136 is designed to bring down electricity rates and to improve the delivery of power supply to end-users by encouraging greater competition and efficiency in the electricity industry. The essence of these reforms is giving stakeholders a choice.

However, right now there are many amendments proposed for EPIRA, which targets to bring down the cost of electricity.

JA, previously Routine Inspection, is part of the processes under the Labor Law Compliance System or the LLCS. It is an integrated framework of voluntary compliance and enforcement of labor laws and social legislations issued pursuant to the rule-making, visitation and enforcement of DOLE. The table joint assessment aims to fast track the inspection of the establishments in the area. LLCS includes the scope on General Labor Standards (GLS), Occupational Safety and Health (OSH), and child labor matters. Presumed compliant, the assessed establishment will be issued a Certificate of Compliance by the Regional Director.

It will not be assessed for two years until and unless provoked with reasonable expense.

Together with the Regional Labor Laws Compliance Officers (LLCO), Attheneus Vasallo, Chief of the DOLE-X Technical Support and Services Division, led the table joint-assessment along with the establishments who has been invited by the LLCO for compliance.

S ome 50 est ablishments participated the JA and pledged to comply all the enumerated violations in each assessment. They were given ample time to correct those violations and was given formats to policies their establishment must implement. (Reyna L. Tagailo/DOLE-Bukidnon)

4. The Applicants may be served with pleadings, papers, notices and other processes of this Honorable Commission through their respective counsels at the addresses indicated below.

NATURE OF THE APPLICATION

5. Pursuant to Rule 20 (B)of the Energy Regulatory Commission’s Rules of Practice and Procedure (“ERC Rules”), and other pertinent rules and regulations, this Application is being submitted to this Honorable Commission for its due consideration and approval of the ESA. STATEMENT OF THE FACTS

6. ANECO currently sources the bulk of its electricity requirements from the Power Sector Assets & Liabilities Management Corporation (“PSALM”) and the remainder from other suppliers.

6.1. In January 2013, ANECO executed a new Contract for the Supply of Electric Energy (“CSEE”) with PSALM for the supply of electric energy for a period of four (4) years from 26 December 2012 until 25 December 2016, or one (1) year after the Department of Energy’s (“DOE”) declaration of open access in Mindanao, whichever comes first.1

6.2. However, in a certification dated 16 November 2012, PSALM confirmed that it has insufficient capacity to supply the additional power requirements of the Mindanao distribution utilities beyond the contracted energy and equivalent demand in its existing CSEEs. A copy of the PSALM certification is attached as Annex “J”.

6.3. Details of ANECO’s other supply contracts are summarized in the table below: SUPPLIER NPC/PSALM Sarangani Energy Corporation PSAGCOR-GNPower Lake Mainit Hydro-APC FDCUI-MPC AGEC Infinity Phils., Inc. Modular Genset Therma Marine, Inc. Mapalad Power Corp.

CONTRACT CAPACITY (MW) 22.93 10 24.25 25 12 8 7.5 10 15 15

TERM (YEARS) 4 25 25 25 25 25 25 15 3 3

INDICATIVE COMMENCEMENT DATE Existing 2016 2018 2016 2017 2018 2015 2015 Existing Existing

A comparative data of ANECO’s supply contracts is provided in Annex “K” hereof.

7. It is expected that the energy requirements of ANECO’s customers will significantly increase in the next few years as demonstrated

by ANECO’s Actual and Forecasted Load Data and Distribution Development Plan, copies of which are attached as Annexes “L” and “M”, respectively.

8. The expiration of the PSALM CSEE in 2016as well as the projected increase in the energy requirements of ANECO’s customers will result in a shortage of the energy available to ANECO and its customers.

9. There exists a region-wide power supply deficiency problem in Mindanao resulting in frequent brownouts and power interruptions.

Moreover, Mindanao is heavily dependent on hydroelectric power;2 thus, during the onset of the summer months and the occurrence of the El Nino phenomenon during certain years, the supply of power in Mindanao is further and drastically reduced. The current power crisis in Mindanao underscores the need for ANECO to enter into a bilateral agreement with generation companies for the stable supply of electricity to its customers.

10. In 2012, TSI conducted a series of road shows to market the capacities of the TSI Power Plant. At the road shows, TSI declared its intention to supply energy in Mindanao by entering into bilateral agreements with interested distribution utilities and make available the 300MW capacity of the TSI Power Plant.

11. Sometime after the road shows, ANECO commenced negotiations with TSI for the execution of the ESA.ANECO evaluated various proposals received from several suppliers based on an evaluation framework, which includes technology, annual production, capacity factor, term and fees as part of the criteria, and determined that TSI’s proposal provides more favourable terms to ANECO.

12. On 15August2014, ANECO and TSI signed and executed the ESA subject of the instant Application. A copy of the Board Resolution attesting to the authority of ANECO to enter into the ESA with TSI is attached as Annex “N”.

DEPED-CDO WEST – II DISTRICT ACTION RESEARCH CONGRESS: MAKING A DIFFERENCE

By WILLIAM C. AGOMANA Secondary School Principal-I Bulua National High School School Year 2014-2015

Are we making a difference? The work of teaching has always been difficult. Students increasingly bring more problems into the classrooms. Parental problems, societal issues and other related concerns kept increasing and financial setbacks made it clear that today’s teachers are being tasked to do more with less efficacy. Crafting solution to these dynamic and ever changing classroom issues can be an exciting undertaking, especially when one acknowledges that newer and better answers are evolving all the time. These are the reasons why DEPED- Division of Cagayan de Oro City, West II District conducted Action Research Congress held at Riverview Inn on October 24, 2014. The theme was “Action Research for Deeper Teaching and Learning: Cutting – Edge to Increase Student Performance”.

The congress was a fusion of the brilliant minds in the field of action research. It was spearheaded by Dr. MA. VIRGITA E. ALINGIG, Public School District Supervisor and JUAN A. MINGO, EPS-I TLE/Monitoring Supervisor. It was actively participated by the school principals, master teachers, and teachers from both elementary and secondary representing the following schools: A. Elementary 1. Bulua central School 2. Iponan Elementary School 3. Bolao Elementary School 4. Canitoan Elementary School 5. Pagatpat Elementary School 6. PN Roa Elementary school 7. Baikingon Elementary School 8. San Simon Elementary School 9. Camp Evangelista Elementary School 10. G. L Reyes Elementary School 11. Pamalihi Elementary school B. Secondary 1. Bulua National High school 2. Iponan National High School 3. Canitoan National High School 4. PN Roa National High School 5. Pagatpat National high School

6. San Simon National High School The following were the results of oral and poster presentations: A. ORAL Presentation FIRST PLACE – MARINA L. CAJES TITLE: “Kung Sama-sama Lahat Makakabasa: A Saturday Reading Program for Non-readers and Frustration Readers of Grade I – III of Iponan Elementary School for SY 2014-2015” SECOND PLACE – NANCY S. TRAVERO-RUBIN, Ph. D. TITLE: “Assessment on Bullying as Perceived by the Teachers of Camp Evangelista Elementary School for SY 2014-2015” THIRD PLACE – MA. EDNA MACATOL-LAMCO TITLE: “Assessment of Dengue – Vector Carrying Mosquitoes of Bulua National High School” B. Poster Presentation FIRST PLACE – CHERRY LOU LANZADERAS TITLE: “The Motivational Effect of ICT on the Performance in HEKASI among Grade VI Pupils of Iponan Elementary School Division of Cagayan de Oro City” SECOND PLACE – EDEN MAE GONZALES-PUERTO TITLE: “Impact of Text2Teach Program on Pupils’ Performance in Science Grade V of Iponan Elementary School for SY 2014-2015” THIRD PLACE – LITA F. BASE et. al.

TITLE: “Experiential Based Strategy Enhances Cognition in Writing Reflection: Basis for MSEP Activity Sheet, Influences Pupils’ Performance in Grade VI Roxas of Bulua Central School SY 2013-2014” The activity was successfully conducted and made possible because of the untiring support of ELENA M. BORCILLO, CESO VI, Schools Division Superintendent and Dr. REYNALDO E. MANUEL JR., Assistant Schools Division Superintendent. The quest of increasing the National Achievement Test results (NAT-2015) is the ultimate challenge among DEPED Teaching and Nonteaching Personnel, Parents, students in partnership with stakeholders. Hence, we believed that through the conduct of action research, we can make a difference in improving the academic performance of our learners in the Division of Cagayan de Oro City specifically the West-II District.
