For the people of Tagubanhan Island, a dream was made into reality with the electrification of the said off-grid island.
On June 6, 2024 (Thursday), ILECO III successfully conducted the Symbolic Energization of Tagubanhan Island. According to Atty. James G. Balsomo II, General Manager of ILECO III, the organization believes that access to power is now considered a basic human right, and ILECO III is committed to provide excellent service to MCOs to meet their power and electricity needs.
ILECO III’s goal is to electrify every household within its franchise area. With the support of the National Electrification Administration’s Barangay Line Enhancement Program (NEA-BLEP), ILECO III secured a budget of almost Thirty Nine (39) Million pesos for the fulfillment of the energization of around 1,477 households in Tagubanhan Island.
Special thanks to our National Leaders, including Cong. Raul “Boboy” C. Tupas, the 5th District Representative, and Secretary Raphael Perpetuo M. Lotilla of the Department of Energy, as well as Administrator Antonio Mariano “Nani” C. Almeda of the National Electrification Administration, for their invaluable support towards this project. Local Government Officials such as 5th District Board Members Binky April M. Tupas and Carol-V S. Espinosa-Diaz, along with the Municipal Mayors of Concepcion and Ajuy Hon. Milliard S. Villanueva and Hon. Jett C. Rojas, also played vital roles in the project’s success. The cooperation of Barangay Officials and volunteers from Bagongon, Maliog-liog, Dungon, Punta Buri, and Tagubanhan, as well as the dedication of our Member-Consumer-Owners, have been crucial.
Engr. Frederico P. Villar, Jr. conveyed a congratulatory message on behalf of NEA Admin. Almeda during the event, which was attended by the Board of Directors led by Board President Engr. Vincent H. Belita, Management under Atty. James G. Balsomo II, employees and other municipal officers from Concepcion and Ajuy.
