Department of Energy Secretary Alfonso G. Cusi (center) on Tuesday (6 August) met with National Electrification Administrator Edgardo R. Masongsong and Electric Cooperative (EC) Party-list Representatives at the sidelines of the National Electrification Administration’s (NEA) Golden Anniversary celebration at the Philippine International Convention Center.
During the meeting, Secretary Cusi underscored the importance of uniting all the members of the energy family to work together in fulfillment of the Duterte administration’s Total Electrification Program.
“We in the energy family have our respective mandates to carry out. For decades, electric cooperatives have been the government’s partner in rural electrification. I encourage our ECs together with the LGUs to be creative – let us be innovative in finding ways to bring electricity to our kababayans in the countryside, most especially those living in the remotest, most far-flung areas so that no Filipino is left in the dark,” he emphasized.
