Davao Light and Power Company extended five electric posts providing electricity to 15 households at Barangay 76-A Purok 22 in Katunggan and Kabacan, Davao City.
Brgy. 76-A is one of the biggest barangays in Davao City. Unfortunately, not all of its residents have access to electricity. Electric posts are too far from them and residents are not capable of financing extension of poles.
But through the project Oplan Kahayag, electric poles were installed free-of-charge to lit up the said community.
The project Oplan Kahayag is a joint venture between Davao Light and Congressman Karlo Nograles of the 1st Congressional District. It aims to provide electricity in areas of urbanized barangays which still do not have access to electricity. And more importantly, it aims to avoid illegal tapping of power which is prone to accidents such as fire.
After the necessary installation works were completed, the barangay council headed by Punong Barangay Rolando Trajera initiated a ceremonial switch-on last August 29. Around 100 constituents together with brgy. officials attended the simple ceremony.
“We are very happy that our barangay was chosen to become a beneficiary of this project. In behalf of my constituents, I thank the local government and Davao Light for making these all possible.” said Brgy. Captain Trajera.
Congressman Karlo Nograles, Oplan Kahayag Coordinator Allan Linao, and Davao Light’s AVP for Special Projects Rey Cabalan, Safety Manager Edelito Fernandez, Safety Supervisor Dado Gonzales and Engr. Charlo Deniega were also present to grace the event.
Residents in Purok 12 Brgy. 76-A and in Purok 10 Brgy. Gumalang in Davao City had also been beneficiaries of this project. Energization of power lines to these areas was made on December 21, 2013 and May 30, 2014, respectively.
