After giving the Mindanao grid the much needed energy following its recent declaration of commercial operations for its second unit, Therma South together with the Barangay Binugao local government unit and the Department of Edudaciotn (DepEd) District of Binugao turned over a total of 18 computers and three host PCs to Binugao Central Elementary School, benefiting almost 1,200 pupils.
Therma South said through the computer donation, it aims to help bridge the gap in the school’s computer-to-student ratio from a high 8:1 to a manageable 2:1 for a class of 50 pupils.
This will also provide pupils with enough knowledge on using a computer and be at par with top performing schools in the district, the firm said.
“We can’t thank the private sector such as Therma South, Inc. enough in bridging the gap to a better public education system. Through their efforts, a brighter and better future is possible for everyone,” said Dr. Marcelo Rocco, Technology and Livelihood Program supervisor of DepEdDavao City during the ceremonial turnover.
AboitizPower subsidiary Therma South is operating a 300-MW baseload power plant on the boundary of Davao City and Davao del Sur. It currently supplies power to more than 20 electric cooperatives and distribution utilities in Mindanao.
It provides a significant portion of the power supply to the cities of Davao, Cagayan de Oro, General Santos, Zamboanga, Butuan, Kidapawan, Tagum, Koronadal, Digos, Pagadian, and Cotabato, among others.
In addition, the plant supplies power to the Davao region; the provinces of Cotabato, Sultan Kudarat, Agusan and Surigao; the Zamboanga peninsula; and parts of Bukidnon and Misamis.
