Visit Davao Fun Sale to boost tourism potential of Davao Region

By Joey Sem G. Dalumpines of PIA-11

DAVAO City -- Tourism officials in the region looked forward that the Visit Davao Fun Sale will boost the tourism industry that will run from March to May this year.

Visit Davao Fun Sale chair Benjie Lizada said it will be the second year when stakeholders in the tour-

ism industry converge to participate in the activities that will revolve in sports and adventure, culture and arts, party fun and leisure.

He said they will be expanding participation not only on organizations but also the local governments of the Island Garden City of Samal and Davao del Sur. “We run out of time to

deal with Davao Oriental but we intend to get their involvement next year,” Lizada said.

He said that eventually the VDFS will expand outside Davao City in the future knowing the vast tourism potentials in many areas of the region.

Solon fears of failure of elections in M’nao

By GERRY LEE GORIT, Correspondent with MARK FRANCISCO, Staff member

CAGAYAN de Oro City--Rep. Rufus Rodriguez yesterday feared for a failure of elections in Mindanao should the government failed immediately to address the spate of bombings and the ongoing road-right-ofway hounding the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP).

If unresolved, Rodriguez the Department of Energy said the continued bomb- (DOE) have done nothings of NGCP towers would ing promting him and his result in possible Mindanao brother, Abamin partylist grid collapse.

anao University of Science and Technology (MUST) in Cagayan de Oro City.

During the hearing, the committee endorsed a resolution before President Benigno Aquino III asking the Office of the President to declare a state of emergency in Ditsaan-Ramain in Lanao del Sur so the government could escort the NGCP maintenance personnel and repair the Tower 25, which was bombed and toppled on December 24, 2015.

Rodriguez said the still unrepaired Tower 25 of NGCP isolated some 260 megawatts (MWs) of supply from the Agus 1 and 2 hydroelectric plants, a government-owned generating facilities.

Aboitiz power plant under 10-day maintenance shutdown DAVAO City--Therma South Inc. (TSI), a wholly owned subsidiary of Aboitiz Power, announced on Tuesday that it has implemented a 10-day preventive maintenance shutdown on its 150MW coal-fed TSI 1 power plant from Feb. 16 to 26 that resulted in two- to threehour rotational brownouts within the franchise area of Davao Light and Power Company (DLPC).

In an emailed statement from Aboitiz Power, it only stated that the shutdown was enforced to prevent

problems from “recurring in the future” without specifically identifying what these issues are.

The 150-MW second unit of TSI has remained operational, it said.

In a separate statement, DLPC said it is left with 275 MW of available power to supply the consumers from its average daily demand of 345 MW. “The exact time when the power interruption will start in a given time frame still cannot be determined as the power supply allocation varies every hour. The number of feeders as well

to be interrupted depends on the supply deficit on a certain hour in a day,” it stated.

The TSI 1 started commercial operation September last year.

A total of 100 MW – 50 MW each from TSI 1 and TSI 2 – has been contracted to DLPC, another fullyowned subsidiary of Aboitiz Power, while the rest will be delivered to more than 20 electric cooperatives and distribution utilities in Caraga, Cotabato, Sultan Kudarat, Sarangani, parts of Bukidnon, parts of Misamis

IF we noticed, it appears Pres Noy Aquino would like to have either Mar Roxas or Grace Poe to come out victorious in the May elections. In the first place, both presidential candidates are strong contenders and it is not difficult that any of them could give VP Jejomar Binay a run around of his billions of pesos and still would eat dusts. Of course, in joke surveys, the vice president seems to be ahead, but in reality, he is lagging behind - - a thing in politics that is surely would mean defeat.

This is one survey that any high school student would keep laughing.

As far as Pres. Aquino is concerned, both Mar Roxas and Grace Poe are both loyal to him. If Roxas is elected president, Aquino will retire a clean ex-president and no one would run after him for any crimes real or imaginary like what happened to then Pres. Gloria MacapagalArroyo who until this day is under custody for various alleged offenses. Or if Grace Poe comes out the winner, she will do the same thing as Roxas thus the president will still be free from any prosecution.

Pres. Aquino is certainly afraid of the new trend in Philippine politics where the exiting president is prosecuted without mercy.

This does not occur several

decades ago and we don’t know who ever invented this political framework.

As it is now getting elected as president will have to expose himself to a turmoil as he makes an exit after the expiration of his term. Cal it a gimmick of sorts or whatever, the fact is, it is troubling and would cause so much headache to the respondents.

We read in the newspapers that some political enemies of the president are already planning to slap him of all sorts of criminal cases possible and even the impossible. In this scenario alone, we can see clearly that the prospect of the president going to jail is obvious. Someday very few people would run for president because of the peril involved. As I have been saying, politics in our country is growing faster than we thought.

I would agree so well if the criminal cases being leveled to the leaving president have basis in truth and in fact. The problem is being based on politics would mean lies or baseless allegations to frame up the victims. Any law students would agree that maneuvers are abundant in politics.

Did we say that politics is a dirty game and the players must be smart and clever?

Above all things, I still believe the candidates who have more money to throw on election day will prevail.

The reason is vote-buying has miserably eroded our system and majority of the electorates have succumbed to the strength of cash. We know for a fact this matter is an offense but there never ever has gone to jail notwithstanding its open violations.

Anyway, I might be talking so much of speculations or guesses but the fact is the possibilities are very legible.

Thus we have to be watchful to make the scene a little bit more believable and just. It is very regrettable the appearance of our political system has tremendously changed and we have to adjust. The problem is politicians have gone smarter too. Whether we like it or not, we must be wiser and more careful of the sting of dirty politics in our midst.

Know your enemy

listen to God and who no longer obey His commands would be visited with terrible curses, and that one of them clearly points to the curse of a ruthless and voracious invader from another country.

Here is how this prophecy is worded: “The LORD will bring a nation against you from far away, from the ends of the earth, like an eagle swooping down, a nation whose language

THINK a minute.

In a war rule number one is you must know who you’re fighting. Otherwise, you’ll waste a lot of time and energy fighting the wrong enemy.

Our life’s daily struggles are like a battle. But many times the enemy we’re fighting is right inside our own mind!

Nothing can defeat and damage your life more than your own wrong thinking about yourself. If you believe that you’re not smart or don’t have any special abilities, then you’ll never succeed in life because that’s just how you’ll live.

We become whatever we think we are—even if it’s not true to begin with. That’s why the Bible says: “As a man thinks about himself, so is that man.”

Your low self-confidence will limit and paralyze you.

You may actually have many abilities, but if you don’t believe you have them, then you’ll never use them and benefit from them.

In zoos, a baby elephant is tied with a strong, thick chain to a big post. At first, the elephant pulls and tries to get free from the chain.

But finally it gives up and stops trying.

After that, only a small, thin rope is needed to tie that big, powerful elephant down and stop it from moving far. The rest of its life, that elephant believes the lie and illusion that it’s too weak to break that little rope.

You see, we all can become a bit like that elephant.

If I let myself think and believe that I cannot go any further in life, even though it’s not true, then I won’t.

That’s the power my own mind and wrong thinking about myself can have over my life.

Friend, if you realize that you’ve been holding

The unexplored option on the West Philippine sea

HAVE you ever noticed how some memories become sweeter over time?

They start off as normal, unglamorous experiences, but the greater the time that has passed the sweeter they become.

The good old days Daily inspiration Juvy Sarraga

We sensationalize them even further if our present circumstances aren’t going well. It’s easy to get caught up in nostalgia and reminisce, but it’s dangerous.

We risk losing out on the time we have at hand right now. Don’t let your current displeasures trick you into recreating “the good old days.”

Make a change to live for today in this moment.

Reflection from Ecclesiastes 7:10 “Don’t long for “the good old days.” This is not wise.”

CCS Reading Family Presents “Alay Pag-ibig sa House of Hope” On Valentine’s Day February 14, 2016

ANALIZA V. SABELLO T-III

February 14, 2016 - City Central School Reading Family presents “Alay Pag-ibig Sa House of Hope” –A joint project of CCS Bookworm Club’15 and CCS on Wheels, supported by the collaborative efforts of parents, members, Reading Teachers and Administrators in pursuit of giving and sharing graces to our less fortunate brothers and sisters in the center.

“Alay Pag-ibig” is a community service that provides club members with opportunities to become active in the community and positive contributors to society. It enables pupils to acquire skills and knowledge as well as provide a service to others that need it in some way. Psychologically, it provides life satisfaction, feeling good about oneself, and decreases stress and depression. Socially, it engages with the community, creates special bonds with the population served, as

well as increased social responsibility.

Cognitive aspects, it helps students enhance their knowledge, earn new experiences, and develop new skills.

Community Service is important for many reasons. Taking part and volunteering Teaches compassion and understanding. It entails difference, every member counts! It encourages civic responsibility and get a chance to give back of what has been received.

It connotes learning to discover your self-worth, learn about the functions and operation of our government and solve community needs. It strengthens community closer together. Uniting people from diverse backgrounds to work toward a common goal, building camaraderie and teamwork. It promotes personal growth and self – esteem, understanding community needs helps foster empathy and selfefficacy. Volunteers gain professional

experience and provides physical and mental rewards. It reduce stress, makes one healthy and strengthen immune system. It is fun and rewarding!

A Famous author once said “Not all of us can do great things. But we can do small things with great LOVE”. “Di man tayo mayayaman sa bulsa pero mayayaman naman tayo sa puso. What matters most is the heart that is filled up with so much love and affection. Ibang-iba magmahal ang mga PINOY, dugo‘t pawis ay ibubuwis para lamang sa mga minamahal.

Today, as we celebrate Valentine’s Day at House of Hope, we wish to extend our warmest greetings in sharing love on this special day. The accumulation of goods can be of greater help to all the respondents.

We momentarily help them ease the loneliness in their hearts and feel that they are most loved.

Happiness is found in doing- not merely in possessing. (unknown) Happiness and satisfaction can be a great source of strength. Doing all the good deeds to human life gave us all the best credits we can ever have.

Possessing all the material thing on earth without giving out makes ourselves selfish enough to enjoy life…so? We go out from our shell and share what we have!

We shared common goal among all Reading Teachers, members and parents who worked unitedly to share food stuff, used clothing including underwear’s, toothbrush, toothpaste, slippers, laundry and bath soap, shampoo, powder, comb, shoes, medicines and etc. Somehow, it made them wear happy faces on

By Jasper Marie Oblina-Rucat

CAGAYAN de Oro City--The need to use the same water not just once, but many times is a practice not only to have lower water bills but contribute in reducing the impacts of El Niño.

As presented by Elisea “Bebet” G. Gozun, USAID Be Secure’s Climate Resiliency team leader during the seminar workshop of USAID Be Secure Project with the Department of Science

He said farmers planted it in 175 hectares in Barangay Bugawas here cushioning the impact of the dry spell that has dried up rice fields and grasslands in the village.

“Our harvest production even tripled as compared to previous cropping while other farmers have, unfortunately, suffered,” Halid Daud, a farmer leader in Bugawas said in an interview Friday.

He said it was the first time that they enjoyed such good harvest amid a dry spell.

He said local farmers are no longer worried regardless of whether they experience

Maguindanao villagers benefit from rice variety that can withstand drought, flood

DATU Odin Sinsuat, Maguindanao--A drought-and flood-resistant rice variety developed by three agricultural institutions has helped farmers in a village here cope with the effects of the El Nino phenomenon that has hit other parts of the province.

The rice variety was developed by the Integrated Agricultural Research Center and Department of Agriculture and Fisheries of the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao, and Philippine Rice Institute, Saudi Mangindra, IARC research coordinator said

She also said to make use of rain water.

She explained that there is a need for Water Demand Management (WDM).

This should include provisions on water efficiency, strengthened water authorities and concerned government agencies to uphold water security especially in being resilient and adaptive

to climate change.

Water security is through strengthened resilience to climate change and increased service coverage and sustainability which results in increased access to water and sanitation, reduced risk to climate change, strengthened enabling environment for service delivery and strengthened analysis and use of climate data.

Gozun said that WDM is a short term response to the bad El Niño and a long term response to climate impacts on water.

Further, Gozun said that cases for saline water intrusion is possible and happening to some parts of the country. This is salt water moving to freshwater aquifers which can lead to See water, page A11

Daud said an hectare of the new rice variety yielded 65 to 70 sacks of palay per box area. Their previous harvest was only 25 to 30 sacks.

DA chief hands-over nearly P195M-worth of agri-assistance to Lanao del Norte Tubod, Lanao del Norte -- Agriculture Secretary Proceso J. Alcala handed over about P195 million (M) worth of agricultural assistance to more than 4,000 farmers and fisherfolks in attendance on February 15, 2016 during the conduct of a Farmers and Fisherfolks’ Forum, held in the Mindanao Civic Center Sports Complex, of this town.

This gesture is in response to the Department of Agriculture (DA)’s goal of delivering more support to the key players of the agriculture sector, especially in the rural countryside.

LDN is one among the many provinces visited by the DA chief as a way of handing over the legacy of the current administration to the next.

On his third visit to the province, Sec. Alcala eyed to solicit feedback at the grassroots level for a seamless implementation of the forthcoming programs, projects and services under the department.

“Kailangan po natin baguhin ang sistema, katulad sa ibang pinupuntahan naming lugar. Hindi po ako aalis kung hindi ko maririnig ang gustong

sabihin ng ating mga kababayan.

We need your feedback…gusto po ng ating Pangulong Noynoy Aquino na sulitin namin yung magagandang programa na dala ng kanyang administrasyon at kung hindi naman epektibo, huwag nang hayaan na ipagpatuloy,” the DA chief said.

Since Sec. Alcala has taken helm of the department, Dir. Ramos reported the strides of the province, which includes registering self-sufficiency level at 139% for rice and receiving a downpour of assistance for agri-development.

“Nahatag nga ayuda, wala’y labot pa ani ang bureaus ubos sa DA, mikabat sa 1.5 billion sa LDN sukad sa paglingkod sa administrasyon ni PNoy ug kaabag nato si Sec. Alcala,” she detailed.

Dir. Ramos also thanked the Provincial Government Unit of LDN headed by Hon. Governor Mohamad Khalid Q. Dimaporo, the local chief executives and other officials for the implementation of various agri-related projects.

Included in the roster of agri-assistance turned-over are PAyapa at MAsaganang

FARMERS & FISHERFOLKS’ FORUM IN LANAO NORTE. The DA’s clienteles and other stakeholders in the province of Lanao del Norte rejoiced as Secretary Alcala has personally handed-over nearly P195 million worth of assistance in terms of farm inputs, machineries and equipment, draft animals, fishing gear and implements, among others, during the conduct of a Farmers and Fisherfolks’ Forum in LDN. In behalf of Gov. Mohamad Khalid Q. Dimaporo, Vice Governor Ma. Cristina N. Atay received a certificate of recognition from the DA chief for the province’s support in the implementation of government projects for the development of the agri-sector. Joining them is Lealyn A.

Biblical reflection

Wealth Special Gospel of the day (May19, 2015-Tuesday) Matthew 26:1425”Then one of the twelve, named Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests and said, “What are you willing to give me to betray Him to you?”

And they weighed out thirty pieces of silver to him. From then on he began looking for a good opportunity to betray Jesus. Now on the

first day of Unleavened Bread the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Where do you want us to prepare for You to eat the Passover?” And He said, “Go into the city to a certain man, and say to him, `The Teacher says, “My time is near; I am to keep the Passover at your house with My disciples.”The disciples did as Jesus had directed

them; and they prepared the Passover. Now when evening came, Jesus was reclining at the table with the twelve disciples. As they were eating, He said, “Truly I say to you that one of you will betray Me: The goodness of Jesus towards Judas was paid by betrayal. This is showing of ingratitude. I know that we have also this attitude many

times since we betrayed our friends and love ones despite they are good to us.

The worst betrayal we have done ever is done to our God since we replace him another God like money, wealth, fame and power.

We trust on these things but not to the giver anymore. We betrayed God if we give more value to the creations rather than the

creator. Who is your God? I hope not the creation but the creator of all. Choose God always for you to live forever: Printing paid by: Neneth Ranoa - Bobong Balino- Edith ranoa, PhDTony Jordan – Cagayan De Oro: My new number: 09187148435: See you in Bro. Edcel L.

LOVE WAITS: “Right Love, Right Time, Bright Future” Happy 55th Araw ng Wao, Lanao del Sur TRUE

Kitaotao National High School

How do we find these threein-one circumstances? What is really a right love? When is the right time? My dear and sweet young ones, LOVE is so complicated and so broad to define. This four-letter word is in used, overused or even misused at any time. Yet when we hear the word, it sends shiver to our bones, it tickles out young hearts, and brings our fancy minds to dreamland.

Let me share to you some definitions and quotes about love taken from St. Augustine: “Love is a temporary madness.

It erupts like an earthquake and then subsides. And when it subsides you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have become so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion.

That is just being ”in love” which any of us can convince ourselves we are. Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident.” So, love is different from being in love or falling in love. It is not just a mere feeling; it is a choice, a decision, and a commitment.

Feelings may come and go, but love remains.

One of the intense crises that the world is facing today

lation. It is apparent that the greatest factor is the early marriage and teenage pregnancy.

Who and what is the culprit of the silent menace that destroys our young people? It is the pre- marital sex. Because of this, parents’ hopes and dreams are shattered. They hope for something they cannot attain because their children might not finish schooling because of unwanted and untimely pregnancies and unplanned early marriages. Some may resort to abortion with many traumatic psychological, emotional and physical complications and sufferings. All of these possibly happen because love is misused and misinterpreted.

As young as you are, let me tell you to wait for the right love, what we call the mature love, and not of the puppy love and the feeling of infatuation that you might have right now.

This mature and right love is well described in the book of 1Corinthians 13: “Love is patient and kind; love is not jealous or boastful; it is not arrogant or rude. Love does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrong, but rejoices in the right. Love bears all things; believes all things; hopes all things; and endures all things.”

It is patient and kind, because when you love you will not be in a hurry for true love waits. It doesn’t depend on emotional investment alone.

demanding. When you love someone you will offer, you will give, you will ask but you will never force your way or demand anything. When loving others you will always look for the interests of others before your own concerns. How can you say you love someone if his/her stomach is aching of hunger and suffering from financial instability? It is true that family planning is far realizing for most young couples. If love is selfish, some children’s rights are deprived. The right to obtain proper nutrition and the right to acquire better education.

It is not rude; rudeness works its way deep into the human spirit as a sharp stabbing sword. Instead, love brings the best out of a person. Rudeness sprouts along married life when the couple could no longer sustain the needs of the children, and even find hard to provide the basic commodities of the family. At the start, the couple whisper only sweet words. But when crisis arise, those whispers become yells and screams. Rudeness in words may fly and land to each other’s ears and wound the hearts, rudeness also in deeds that spoils the relationship and may even result to broken marriages.

It holds no grudges because it quickly forgets that a wrong has occurred. It rejoices in truth. Because nothing is more delightful than knowing and

Then if this kind of love is acquired, one is ready to find it at the right time. The right time is after schooling, or after landing a stable job.

If one is ready for all the responsibilities to become parent, and prepared enough for all the consequences that might meet along the way. Or even so, do not in a hurry. Enjoy and savor the sweetness of your youthful existence. Take pleasure in your job and your salary or income. Give enough time and love for yourself.

If love is not immature, bright future will follow. “Love does not consist of gazing each other, but in looking together in the same direction”. Gazing is just the feeling, but looking together in the same direction is and evidence and a manifestation of a mature and tight love. The couple must be in union with the same purpose and direction. And that is to give each other, to bring out the best of them. If one is bearing this kind of outlook in life, there will be lesser chances of encountering unnecessary troubles in married life.

To end this, let me strike again a quote for you to ponder on: “That which is striking and beautiful is not always good; but that which is good is always beautiful”.

So my dear promising youth, hopefully may you find the right love at the right time and of course with bright future.

He said it is a season to take advantage of the summer so that people around the country can enjoy Davao Region.

Alabado said the DOT gives more time to Davao Oriental to prepare for inclusion in the VDFS. “Many tourism infrastructures in Davao Oriental will be inaugurated this year,” he said.

Alabado said that the tourist attractions like Mt. Hamiguitan and the Aliwagwag Falls will be opened this year, consequently making Davao Oriental a tourist destination to be included in the VDSF in 2017.

He said the VDSF packages the whole region as a tourist destination as many stakeholders earn from the tourism receipts.

City Tourism Officer Lisette Marques assured to provide more assistance to the holding of the VDSF. She said the influx of tourist impacts on the local economy by bringing income to the tourism industry. (PIA 11-Joey Sem G. Dalumpines)

“They will devour the young of your livestock and the crops of your land until you are destroyed. They will leave you no grain, new wine or olive oil, nor any calves of your herds or lambs of your flocks until you are ruined.

“They will lay siege to all

the cities throughout your land until the high fortified walls in which you trust fall down.

They will besiege all the cities throughout the land the LORD your God is giving you…”

-oooIT MAYBE WELL TO CONSIDER GOD’S POINT OF VIEW: Why is this particular curse going to happen? The Biblical reason is simple, and let me quote it likewise: “However, if you no longer listen to the LORD your God and no longer carefully follow all his commands and decrees I am giving you today, all these curses will come on you and overtake you…”

From where I sit, this particular curse is now happening. Some may retort that the invasion is occuring because it is desired by China, for its own economic purposes. And they are correct. But who puts in the heart of China’s leaders the desire to do what they are now doing? God, of course.

Perhaps, our own Filipino leaders may want to consider this point of view next time!

back from living the successful life God created you for— because of your own wrong thinking about yourself, your own fears and lack of self-confidence, you can change your mind about yourself today.

Just ask Jesus Christ to take full charge of your thinking and way of living. Jesus is the One Who can show you the abilities and potential He’s given you. He’ll give you the power to actually start changing and living your life to the fullest.

Gozun said this can have a permanent effect to the drinking water of the communities that is why it is important to monitor ground water.

WDM is getting the most from the water we have and includes any action that reduces the amount of fresh water we use, or that keeps water cleaner in the course of a particular use than it otherwise would be.

She said that everyone can make a significant contribution by knowing water footprint, implement and advocate for water efficiency measures, water conservation measures, rainwater harvesting and storage and reuse of treated wastewater for agriculture.

WDM also includes the use of public policy, laws, rates, measures and practices

to reduce water use for the goal of securing long-term, reliable, affordable and safe supply of water for the benefit of society and the environment; maintains public health and safety and provides equal importance to supply-side water management.

Gozun said we need WDM because population and economic growth adds to a growing demand for water, fresh water. Also, fresh water supplies are limited, seawater desalination is very costly; over abstraction of ground water and surface waters supplies can have permanent detrimental effects. Further, WDM can greatly mitigate the effects of emergency water shortages and droughts. (JMOR/PIA10)

2015 per request of Governor Adiong to the Department of Public Works and Highways of the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao. It has a total length of 61.36 meters and a width of 7.32 meters.

According to Engr. Ote Macabando, who supervised the project in behalf of the provincial government of Lanao del Sur, the DPWHARMM released the amount of P12.3 mfor the Ramain Bridge from their 2014 infrastructure funds. He added that a Memorandum of Agreement was entered into by both parties in 2014.

Governor Adiong said it would now be easier for the residents of the first district of Lanao del Sur to go to Marawi City and the other parts of the province with the rehabilitated bridge.

The residents of the towns

located in the first district had to take a farther detour with limited space just to get to Marawi City when the slabs and riprap of the bridge became dilapidated due to time. This caused inconvenience to motorists that included traffic and a longer route to their destination.

Regional Governor Hataman said it is the commitment of President Benigno Simeon C. Aquino, III that ARMM becomes a progressive region with developed provinces and cities.

Last January 23 to February 2, the second unit of TSI was under a corrective maintenance shutdown, just more than two weeks before the inauguration of the 300-MW Therma South Energy Project in Binugao, Toril on January 8.

“For the past weeks, Davao Light was able to avoid the implementation of the rotating power interruptions despite the continued Mindanao-wide grid deficiency due to the El Nino and the bombings of transmission lines,” it said.

The power utility is optimizing supply contracts from Therma Marine Inc. with 30 MW, Unit 1 of TSI coal-fired power plant with 50 MW,

Hedcor Sibulan with 38 MW, Hedcor Talomo with 3 MW and the Western Mindanao Power Corporation with 15 MW. The diesel-fed Bajada Power Plant will be tapped to fill in the supply gap of 70 MW. The Interruptible Load Program, a measure wherein the industries and companies would de-load from the grid and run their own generator sets, will still be “activated to help mitigate the impact of the very tight power supply situation.”

During the “Wednesdays” forum at Habi at Kape in Abreeza of the Ayala Malls, Mindanao Development Authority (MinDA) chair Luwalhati Antonino said that the island is not supposed to have brownouts after having a sufficient power supply.

“We were successful (in adding more capacity) but it’s not being seen right now due to natural and not-so natural causes,” she said.

The major plant shutdown has affected the supply situation in other distribution utilities, DLPC stated.

The rotating power interruption is implemented to prevent Mindanao-grid collapse, which might result when demand exceeds supply.
