Garcia to Cebeco: Solve power outages in Tabogon town

CEBU Governor Gwendolyn Garcia Gimando has instructed the Cebu Electric Cooperative II (Cebeco II) to address the spate of power outages being experienced in Tabogon town, northern Cebu.

The governor and Cebeco II general manager Engr. Lowell Belciña and Tabogon Mayor Francis Salimbangon met at the Capitol on Tuesday, October 3, 2023, to talk about the issue.

The power firm attributed to the ongoing maintenance operations done by the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines as the cause of the problem.

This did not, however, convince the governor, who asked Cebeco to produce a thorough report on its scheduled and unscheduled power interruptions as well as a timeline for when the problem can be resolved.

The Cebeco II serves the cities of Danao and Bogo, and the municipalities of Medellin, Daanbantayan, San Remigio, Tabogon, Borbon, Sogod, Tabuelan, Tuburan, Catmon, Carmen, and Compostela.(ANV, TPT)
