“In fact, the DTI central office is satisfied with our lecture modules and are planning to adapt them to the rest of the country,” Aclan said.

For now, there are only four Negosyo Centers in the Philippines – the other three are located in the cities of Quezon, Batangas and Iloilo.

The department has targeted to install 50 more centers by the end of the year.

Aside from being a learning facility, the Go Negosyo Center also serves as a one-stop shop for SMEs where they can do business

without hopping from one office to another in order to comply with the needed requirements. It offers business registration assistance, business advisory services, business information and advocacy and monitoring and evaluation of business processes for SMEs, technology transfer, production and management training programs and marketing assistance. Aclan said there is a dire need for the country to offer this kind of service because SMEs comprise 99 percent of the businesses in the Philippines.

Aeta grandmothers bring solar energy to their communities THE “Solar Lolas” are back!

The “Solar Lolas” are four Aeta grandmonthers who were sent to the Barefoot College in India to be trained under its “Tanging Tanglaw: Turning IP Grandmothers into Solar Engineers” Project.

Their return has generated much interest from the media and the general public. They have landed on the front pages of our national newspapers and have been featured in major news programs.

“Tanging Tanglaw” is a collaboration among Diwata-Women in Resource Development, Inc (Diwata), the Philippine Mine Safety and Environment Association (PMSEA) and the Land Rover Club of the Philippines (LRCP) (collectively, the “Project Partners”), with the support of the Embassy of India in the Philippines.

“Tanging Tanglaw” aims to empower indigenous people (IP) women, particularly grandmothers (i.e., mature women who are no longer the primary caregivers of their families) by teaching them how to harness solar power to light up their communities.

The project involves sending illiterate and unskilled women to the Barefoot College in Tilonia, India to attend a 6-month training course on solar engineering, specifically, fabricating, installing, repairing and maintaining solar lighting equipment.

The Barefoot College was founded by Sanjit “Bunker” Roy, named one of Time magazine’s most

Speaking Out

Ignacio Bunye influential people in 2010.

The Barefoot College provides training in, among others, solar technology in the belief that even the uneducated poor have the right to use technologies to improve their life and skills.

Based on the many years of experience of the Barefoot College, women, rather than men, are specifically chosen because, after receiving their training, the women return to their villages to influence daily life and play a major role in their development rather than migrating to other places as men or younger community members might.

The Project Partners arranged the logistics and assisted the Barefoot College and the government of India select a group of four Aeta women, namely, Evelyn Clemente, Sharon Flores, Cita Diaz and Magda Salvador to undergo a sixmonth, live-in training at the Barefoot College. Evelyn and Sharon are from Gala, Zambales, while Cita and Magda are from Bamban, Tarlac.

During their six months of training at the Barefoot

College with other women from different countries, the four grandmothers experienced an amazing personal transformation.

They learned solar engineering and other livelihood activities, such as making mosquito nets and sanitary napkins.

Learning complex new concepts and interacting with people of different cultures built their selfconfidence and fueled their desire to be agents of positive change in their villages.

Upon returning to their respective villages, each pair of solar grandmother will be responsible for solar electrifying 100 households. In the case of Bamban, Tarlac, electrification is currently non-existent and most of the households use kerosene lamps for lighting.

On the other hand, electricity is available in Gala, Zambales, but not all the families avail of it. They solar grandmothers will assume the responsibility for installing and maintaining the solar panels and lamps for a minimum of 5 years.

Once the communities are solar-electrified, qualitative improvements in the communities’ standard of living are expected, as the members will be able to use electrical appliances and gadgets, enabling them to become more productive.

The children, in particular, will be able to study at night, learn to use computers and possibly access the internet. The Barefoot College will, in due course, provide e-learning modules to the children.

The Project Partners are

working with the local elders and community members in order to help them understand that the solar lighting system follows a community ownership model and that each family, regardless of how poor they are, must contribute money (i.e., what they are currently spending on kerosene or for charging their mobile phones outside the community) and time to maintaining the system.

More u rge nt ly, t he Project Partners are now raising the amount of USD58,000 (approximately PhP2,600,000.00), which need not come from any single contributor, for each community of 100 households.

This amount will cover, among others, the required number of household solar systems which consist of: 40 watt solar panel; wiring; wall-mounted charge controller; waterproof battery box with battery (sealed gel battery new technology); 3 LED wall lights; 1 mobile phone charger (universal); 1 large solar portable lantern with separate panel for charging; and share in workshop tools and supplies and spare parts.

The response to Tanging Tanglaw remains enthusiastic and the Project Partners hope they can successfully implement the project in Zambales and Tarlac, and send more trainees to the Barefoot College in the future.

the dictionary of fools and failures.”

So ask yourself: “Is the word impossible in the dictionary of my life?” Do you say “I can’t” more often than you say “I can?” Sometimes “you have to go out on a limb if you want to get the best fruit!”

We have to learn to be comfortable with uncomfortable challenges, because we can’t discover new oceans unless we’ve got the courage to lose sight of the shore.

We need to believe that the best jobs haven’t been found yet, and the best work hasn’t been done yet. But we

can’t have the life we want if we don’t change the life we have.

A successful woman said: “A bad habit never goes away by itself; it’s always an undo-it-yourself project.”

Smart people sometimes change their minds—but fools never do.

So we have to leave our comfort zone if we want to reach a new kind of success.

Don’t allow yourself to be buried alive in your comfort zone, like many people do.

It’s OK to use your comfort zone to rest in, but not to live in.

ETV project enhances pupils’ desire to study Bukidnon • Camiguin • Lanao del Norte • Lanao del Sur • Misamis Occidental • Misamis Oriental

By BONG D. FABE Contributing Editor

KIRAHON, Villanueva, Misamis Oriental — Improvement in comprehension, attentiveness and responsiveness.

These are just three of the visible manifestations of pupils’ desire to study that teachers have observed from their pupils following the introduction last December of the Educational Television (ETV) Project at the Kirahon Elementary School in Villanueva, Misamis Oriental.

The ETV Project, which utilizes the power of multimedia equipment and educational videos, has made lessons more interesting, said 12-year-old Grade VI pupil Arruna L. Ansuma.

“Makadasig sa pagtoon ang ETV kay dali ra man masabtan ang lessons (ETV encourages us to study because it makes lessons easy to understand),” she said.

Her uncle, 13-year-old Grade V pupil Raymond A. Invento said the ETV Project has made lessons more interesting for which they now like to attend classes.

“Ganahan na kaayo mi moskwela kay patan-awon man mi og salida sa TV. (We are now very interested to go to school because we can watch shows on TV.),” he said.

Because the ETV Project has perked their interest to attend classes and has made such difficult subjects as Mathematics and Science palatable and interesting, pupils don’t get bored but strive to understand the lessons.

Lessen absenteeism Since the introduction of ETV to supplement classes at the Kirahon Elementary School, teachers have noticed an improvement in daily attendance with very minimal absenteeism and cutting classes.

“ETV effectively catches

the attention of our pupils,” thus they now seldom go absent. And “because they are now interested in the subject, particularly math and science, pupils easily understand the lessons,” said Lucilyn L. Almonical, Teacher 1.

Before the introduction of the ETV, pupils often skip classes to help their parents in working the farm or in doing some household chores. “But with ETV, talagsa ra gyud mag-absent karon and mga bata (with ETV, pupils now seldom go absent from classes),” Almonical said.

The Kirahon Elementary School, which was established in 1988, has a population (SY 2015-2016) of 148 students and 6 teachers.

Since the school is located some 10 kilometers from the Villanueva poblacion, teachers spend PhP150 a day to get here. But that is nothing compared to some 6 years old pupils walking a total 16 kilometers (back and forth) rain or shine just to attend classes.

“Since we implemented the ETV Project in January, we have noticed lesser absences of pupils from January to March,” she added.

More attentive Through the ETV Project, pupils as young as 6 years old are now able to relate the concepts viewed on TV to their daily lives.

And higher grade level pupils also easily relate the concepts they saw on TV to their lessons in Mathematics and Science.

Teachers also noticed a longer attention span of

moving or live butterflies doing just that.”

Aside from that, pupils also are more responsive.

Almonical says that it is now common for pupils to immediately respond to questions asked by the host/ teacher on whatever shows are shown on TV. “I think this is because they can easily connect the question to what they have seen on TV.” Makes teachers’ jobs easy And that makes the teachers’ jobs easy and more effective. “What took us an hour to explain so that our pupils can really understand now just takes minutes.

And pupils understand,” Almonical says.

Almonical also said that teachers have become more motivated and creative in teaching because of ETV. Aside from that, the ETV Project also helped teachers upgrade their knowledge and skills, especially in teaching Mathematics and Science especially since they were also trained to integrate the ETV approach in the classroom learning system.

And children’s discussions of what have been shown on TV continues when classes ends. They talked about what they saw even during recess, lunch breaks or even when walking back home. And they are having fun doing it.

Improved comprehension Almonical, who was recently appointed teacherin-charge of the Kirahon Elementary School, says that there is also a marked improvement in the comprehension of the pupils.

“They can now easily understand the meaning of things because they can see it demonstrated on TV. Before, we just show them pictures, like for example, of butterflies flying or sucking nectar from flowers.

But with ETV, they can see

Davao is a major regional center in Mindanao. What is the vision of 8990 Holdings is for our brand Deca Homes to be present in all the regions,” he said in an interview.

Atencio said its residential project is expected to deliver around 6,500 units worth PhP6.5 billion.

He said they target to start construction of the five-year project in 2017.

Atencio said the company has also acquired another three properties in Zamboanga, Bacolod and Marilao, Bulacan with cumulative area of 102 hectares which will be developed into new residential projects.

He said it will use internally generated funds to complete the projects.

He added the company will launch the remaining two projects located in Cebu and another one here by the third quarter of 2015. Its Cebu project will deliver 1,000 housing units while the Davao project will provide 800 units.

In addition to the new projects, the 10 ongoing projects will provide a total of 19 projects equivalent to 11,083 housing units with an estimated value of PhP10 billion this year.

Atencio expressed hope that the company’s housing projects will help address the housing backlog in the country.

“If the housing backlog is growing at five per-

cent, that’s 250,000 units.

We are supplying 11,000 (units), so we are like 20 percent solving the housing backlog. That’s really so many unserved demand…

So they (big companies) should come, and they should help us,” he said.

Meanwhile, Atencio said the company’s corporate bond offering was oversubscribed.

“I see the market accepting the bonds very well. On the level of the institutional buyers, it is already all taken up,” he said.

The developer intends to use the proceeds from the issuance to refinance its existing debt obligations as well as that of its subsidiaries.

36 pupils hospitalized for suspected food poisoning BUTUAN City––Thirtysix schoolchildren were rushed to the Agusan del Norte Provincial Hospital here for suspected food poisoning Friday.

The children, all pupils of Doongan Elementary School, were reported to have eaten expired candies.

“We received a total of 36 students. About five of them who exhibited the most severe symptoms were admitted to the hospital while others are still under observation. Right now our doctor and nurses are taking care of the children,” said Domingo Enciso Jr. Nurse II at the Provincial Health Office.

Eunice Joy Gidacan, grade 4 teacher-in-charge explained that she did not notice the children eating the chocolate candies because it was break time.

“It happened during snack break, this was about 9:20 to 9:40. When I sat down back I saw candies on my table. One of my students informed me that she has given me candies sent to them by her brother from Saudi,” Gidacan said.

“I then asked for the packaging of the candy, and saw that it was already expired, dated December 12, 2014. I immediately asked my students to go out and remove the candies from

Those without symptoms were given antacids and antispasmodic. Those with symptoms, about six of them, were admitted and immediately given IVs,” Mordeno said.

“We will monitor those admitted for 24 hours to see if the symptoms would get worse or get better,” she added.

Jocelyn Bequin, the foster mother of the child who brought the candy said they received the chocolates from her son who is working in Saudi Arabia last October 2014.

“We just placed the entire package in the refrigerator.

I forgot about the chocolate One of the six children admitted for suspected food poisoning in Butuan City rests on since the doctor prohibited bed and is given intravenous fluid after suffering severe abdominal pain and vomiting.

their mouth but several of them have already eaten the candy,” she said.

She noted that after two hours several of the children were already complaining of stomach ache, headache and some even vomited.

“I could not believe what was initially happening.

About more than 20 of them were crying really hard due to the abdominal pain. Some who did not have the symptoms started to panic and cried in fear they might also be in danger,” Gidacan said.

Floods, strong winds batter Southwestern Mindanao LEBAK, Sultan Kudarat-Heavy rains accompanied by strong winds continued to batter Maguindanao and neighboring provinces as of Friday, causing floods that have destroyed millions of pesos worth of crops, government sources said.

Maguindanao’s 12 towns were submerged in flood water after days of continuous rains that caused rivers in neighboring Sultan Kudarat and South Cotabato provinces overflow.

Sultan Kudarat, mean-

while, has been placed under a state of calamity due to inclement weather that has hit the province since June 24.

Over 50,000 residents have been affected by flash floods in the towns of Lambayong, Lutayan, Esperanza, Bagumbayan, Isulan, President Quirino and Tacurong City.

Some P300 million worth of agricultural crops were damaged by flash floods, the Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction and Management

Office said.

In Lebak town, Sultan Kudarat a 13 year-old girl was killed when a coconut tree fell and hit her at the height of a downpour coupled by strong winds in this town early Friday, a disaster management official said.

Myla Canete, chair of the Municipal Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council, identified the victim as Gina Benito, resident of Barangay Kinudalan, Lebak.

Canete said Benito, a grade 8 pupil, was inside

her home when a coconut tree toppled by strong winds fell on her house at 5 a.m.

Canete said the coastal village of Tibpuan was also flooded due to heavy rain which was worsened by high tide.

Several houses were destroyed and fishermen could not go out fishing for a week now due to torrential rains.

“Nobody was hurt in the Tibpuan village and no evacuation was reported,” said Von Ballite, executive assistant of Mayor Dionisio

Besana.

Local officials suspended classes for elementary and high school levels on Thursday and Friday, Canete added.

In Barangay Nangi, Upi, Maguindanao, a baby survived unscathed after a mango tree fell on their house on Thursday afternoon due to strong winds and heavy rains.

But her sibling, Jorly Tumbaga, was hit in the shoulder and was immediately brought to Cotabato

City Hospital.

In Basilan province, 113 houses were damaged by strong winds and heavy rainfall on Thursday in Hadji Mutahmad, Maluso and Lantawan towns, according to the Office of Civil Defense-ARMM Regional Director Myrna Angot.

Thirty-six houses weredamaged in Hadji Mutahmad, 75 in Maluso and two in Lantawan. No casualties were reported. A report from Ferdinandh Cabrera of MindaNews

Watchtower in Jasaan to boost local tourism

Photo courtesy of Steag State Power Inc. (SPI)

By MARK FRANCISCO, Staff member

The watchtower is a two-storey structure with a total floor area of about 84 m2. It has an observation deck equipped with a solarpowered LED lighting system.

M

ISAMIS Oriental Gov. Yevgeny Vincente Emano announced over the weekend a plan to put up a tourism package exclusive to Jasaan municipality alone.

Speaking during the inauguration of the P6.6 million watchtower constructed by Steag State Power, Inc. at Agutayan Island last July 3, Emano said he foresees a future where tourists go to the sandbar early in the morning, stop by at Kimaya fishport to buy fresh catch and grill the seafood at any of the numerous spring and beach resorts in the mainland.

This, even as Emano said that the installation of the watchtower to help preserve marine life within Agutayan is just the first step for this tourism package.

During the event, the governor likewise disclosed that many marine fauna species previously undiscovered were spotted at the waters surrounding the island bar which is two kilometers north of the Mindanao mainland, directly fronting Jasaan town.

Emano said the presence of thresher sharks and certain species of rays distinct to these waters will help boost marine ecology efforts as well as diving and other tourism activities in the area.

The project is a joint undertaking of the provincial government of Misamis

Oriental, the Department of Energy (DOE), STEAG State Power Inc. (SPI) and the local government unit (LGU) of Jasaan. Misamis Oriental Governor Bambi Emano, together with SPI President and CEO Dr. Bodo Goerlich lead the inauguration rites.

The watchtower is a two-storey structure with a total floor area of about 84 sq.m. It has an observation deck equipped with a solar-powered LED lighting system.

Project cost of P6.6 million was taken out of the Misamis Oriental provincial government’s share in a social fund that accrues from the electricity sales of energy-firm STEAG State Power Inc. (SPI) pursuant to ER 1-94 of the Department of Energy (DOE).

Virtually a sandbar surrounded by green waters teeming with marine life, Agutayan Island is located some five kilometer off the

coast in Jasaan, Misamis Oriental.

It is one of the Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) in Misamis Oriental, with approximately 5,000 square meters of white sand that sits on a 4.5 hectare marine sanctuary that provides a favourable bre e ding ground for endangered marine species.

As an MPA, Agutayan Island is essential for the attainment of a healthy balance of marine biodiversity for the entire expanse of the Macajalar Bay. It is home to several giant clams and other endangered marine species.

C o n s i d e re d a s o n e of the priorities of the provincial government’s eco-tourism development programs, the Agutayan Watch Tower Project is an affirmation of a vibrant partnership between the government and the private sector geared towards attaining a more balanced

development in the Macajalar Bay area.

SPI President and CEO Dr. Bodo Goerlich reaffirms the company’s commitment to responsible business practices at the same time supporting efforts in community development and environmental conservation. “ We r e a f f i r m o u r commitment to help improve the quality of life of the people especially in our host communities in Misamis Oriental not only through the electric power that we supply, but also through our various community development and environmental conservation programs,” Dr. Goerlich said.

SPI owns and operates the 210 MW (net) Mindanao Coal-Fired Power Plant located along the coast of Villanueva in Misamis Oriental. It currently provides around 18% of Mindanao’s total electricity supply.

VALUES FORMATION: A CHALLENGE TO ALL TEACHERS

By MILAGROS P. RECAMADAS

Purveyor of truth, light bearer, model in character, values-oriented, modest, meek and reserved, etc…. were just few of the descriptions shaped into one------“A Teacher”. A teacher has established a reputation of being almost if not perfect inside the four-walls in her classroom. Everyone looks up to her with high regard and respect. Teacher plays a critical role in the life of every learner. Therefore, it is a challenge to all workers in the field of teaching; a strong values foundation is entrusted to us to help a person become better and develop his full potential to be an asset to his community as well as to the country.

Studies reveal that a person’s experiences during his early years have a greater impact on how he behaves on the latter days. This is one of the reasons that K to 12 Curriculum gives emphasis on the integration of values in all learning areas and the subject itself have been modified to suit the needs of a Filipino learner.

It aims to develop the character of an individual so that he may be able to compete globally armored with knowledge, skills and attitude that will prepare him for life.

The positive and negative attitude and approaches exhibited by a teacher determines to a great extent her effectiveness in the classroom and ultimately the impact she has on the learner’s achievement.

Effective teaching combines the essence of good classroom management, organization, effective planning, and teacher’s personal characteristics.

So true with what Henry Adams said: “A teacher affects eternity, no one can tell where his or her influence stops.”

This is our calling, to go extra-mile, to nurture every learner, to help them feel that learning is comfortable. Thus, personal values of a teacher will surely influence a successful learner with good manners and right conduct.

Learning Math at Ease through Modern Technologies

By Jennifer A. Cordova Teacher II Lazaro MES Bonifacio East District

Mathematics is a school subject that encourages more research and exploration. Thus, computer, being a machine which prime use is to provide information is a great use to teaching Math.

If asked what is the most challenging subject in elementary and

high school, surely most students will say its Mathematics.

It is not because Math could be the toughest. It is just another subject that encourages skillful and critical thinking. Student should analyze each lesson, because one is very much different from the other.

In order to totally solve problem lessons under it, research and thorough understanding are required.

The good thing about 21st century, however, is that a lot of studying materials are already available through modern technologies, such as computers and internet.

In a book written by education researcher Seymor Papert, he said that computer is a device used to further put more understanding to what a teacher has introduced before his class. Computers develop

learner’s intellectual skills through writing their own programs to direct the computer.

Through computers, students could also conduct review and track back on their lessons, such as surfing on how a solution has been done, and what are the basic steps in doing such.

Technology has indeed made student life less complicated.

Day of judgment Special Gospel of the day (July5, 2015-Sunday) Matthew 25:31-46” All the nations will be gathered before Him; and He will separate them from one another, as the shepherd separates the sheep from the goats; and He will put the sheep on His right, and the goats on the left. “Then the King will say to those on His right, `Come, you who are blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. `For I was hungry, and you gave Me something to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave Me something to drink; I was a stranger, and you invited Me in; naked, and you clothed Me; I was sick, and you visited Me; I was in prison, and you came to Me.’ “Then the righteous will answer Him, `Lord, when did we see You hungry, and feed You, or thirsty, and give You something to drink? `And when did we see You a stranger, and invite You in, or naked, and clothe You? `When did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?’ “The King will answer and say to them, `Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did it to one of these brothers of Mine, even the least of them, you did it to Me.’ “Then He will also say to those on His left, `Depart from Me, accursed ones, into the eternal fire: The most fearful day for all us is the Day of Judgment.

So after you’ve recharged your energy, leave your comfort zone to move on to your next challenge.

Remember, God never puts limits on your faith, so your faith should never put limits on Him. Faith is not afraid of failing; faith is afraid of not even trying.

So why not ask Jesus Christ to give you His faith and power to step out and start changing your life today?

If you ask Him to take charge, then He will help you fully live your life—before you leave it.

He said that each of the 1,490 towns in the country will have one police patrol jeep as a concrete demonstration of the government’s “Daang Matuwid” (Straight Path) philosophy.

“I hope the patrol jeeps will help the police fulfill its mandate to have a stable peace and order condition in the countryside,” Roxas said. CD/ERCEL MAANDIG/MARK FRANCISCO

Summit... from page A1

Mindanao Photo Summit slated from July 31 to August 2. “ The participants should expect to learn a lot from the summit. The speakers themselves are masters of their trade and who’s passionate enough to share us their techniques in photography. Registrants should expect to broaden their knowledge of the different fields in photography. And soak their minds with each different technique, hoping that with these shared techniques they can come up with their own in the near future,” Oro Photographic Society (OPS) Past President Architect Ranke Lim enthused in an interview.

Ranke Lim vice chairs the 1st Mindanao Photo Summit, Ms Nathalie Agopra is the chairperson.

Master travel and under water photographer Annaliza Barrera will discuss “Basic Photography,” while Canon ambassador Ibarra Deri will talk about “Portrait Photography” and “Product Photography”.

Another Canon ambassador, Edwin Martinez, will lecture on “Landscape Photography,” to be followed

by Francisco Mark Floro, also a Canon ambassador.

All lectures will have workshop or hands-on sessions. All five lectures can be had for only P2,500 (standard rate), P1,500 (early bird rate, good until June 30), or P1,000 (student rate, with current ID).

The official registration form and other details are available at our Facebook website “1st Mindanao Photo Summit”.

Themed “Island Interlinks,” the Summit will also showcase photographic equipment, gears, accessories, and other related

BUSINESS . northmin . caraga . davao Your Mindanao-wide Community Newspaper

products will be on exhibit.

OPS President Engineer Lauriel Dela Cruz says “the Mindanao Photo Summit is about gathering of photographers and sellers of photo accessories. There will be seminars and we are hoping to bring sellers of photo accessories here and sell their products at a cheaper price.”

Parallel to the Mindanao Photo Summit is the 2nd “OPS Kagay-an Photography Contest” to spice up the fiesta celebration from August 1 to August 31. “ The photo contest started last year and the response from the contestants were enough to convince us to do it again this year. Photography is a way to promote our city fiesta activities and the city itself. Many still don’t know the other activities of our city fiesta. The photo contest hopefully will change that. Most city fiestas have their own photo contests to enhance their tourism growth. Hope we can sustain this yearly” adds Dela Cruz.

Ranke Lim also said that during the seminars - video recording (in anyway) is prohibited, “I would suggest that participants should take down notes.

We are just hoping that participants open their minds for these new techniques, don’t hesitate to ask questions after each seminar.”

“Just a note, there are different techniques in fields of photography; you should be akin to their differences. All these knowledge will be put to test during the fiesta competition. Show them how much you’ve learned and leveled up. Go Mindanao!” Lim enthused.

The Oro Photographic Society has partners with Centrio Ayala Mall, the Philippine Center for Creative Imaging (PCCI), Department of TourismNorthern Mindanao, Bombo Radyo, Magnum Radio, Mindanao Daily News, BusinessWeek Mindanao, and ABS-CBN Northern Mindanao to bring this event to the city.

100 MW to Manila Electric Co. (Meralco) in the November to December 2013 supply months despite having a rated capacity of 234 MW. “Although our rated capacity is 234 MW (net), we could not export as much because of the condition of our engines and the limitation of the 115kv transmission line,” Jovy P. Batiquin, TMO president and COO, said in a statement posted on Aboitiz Power’s website.

Batiquin pointed this reporter to TMO’s statement on the website after he was reached for comments on reports quoting outgoing Energy Secretary Carlos Jericho L. Petilla as urging the PEMC to stand by its decision to impose penalties against TMO and other power firms who allegedly violated the Must-Offer Rule.

He also refused to comment citing an ongoing dispute resolution that prohibits both parties from speaking about the case to the media. “[PEMC] must stick it out and to reconsider kung merong pwedeng lusutan ang Aboitiz.

PEMC had earlier imposed a P234.9 million penalty against TMO after its investigations found the Aboitiz Power unit to have breached the Must-Offer Rule during the period November and December 2013.

But PEMC could not imposed ts decision after the Pasig Regional Trial Court Branch 157 issued last April an injunction in favor of TMO. Under the Must-Offer Rule, generation companies registered in the Wholesale Electricity Spot Market (WESM) must declare and offer the maximum generating capacities of their power facilities in the spot market.

Batiquin said that TMO could not, at that time, produce and supply Meralco more than 100 MW because “forcing the engines and the 115KV line to produce and deliver more than 100 MW at that time could cause a collapse of the line and could trigger a much bigger problem for the Luzon grid.”

er-generating facilities in Navotas and its 115kv transmission facilities, which it acquired in May 2011, were undergoing rehabilitation during the supply months in question since these have not been operating for at least five years when it was acquired by TMO. But despite the rehabilitation, TMO was still able to “safely, reliably and consistently” supply 100 MW to Meralco in the November to December 2013 supply months.

Batiquin said that this temporary limitation of the power plant “was confirmed during a dependable capacity test conducted in November 21, 2013 and in subsequent tests.”

Because of the low supply of power, WESM prices spiked resulting to recordhigh generation charge of Meralco to P9.10 per kilowatt-hour in December 2013. (Bong D.
