All systems go for brown-out free elections
ROXAS CITY – The Capiz Electric Cooperative is beefing up its efforts to ensure a brown-out free elections on May 10.
CAPELCO Information Officer Kenneth Emmanuel Tipon said that “as long as there is supply of power from generation companies, all electric companies in the Philippines will distribute power to its respective franchise areas.”
Tipon said that they have already received a memorandum circular from the Department of Energy and National Electrification Administration to ensure that there would be no brown-out during the election day.
He said that as long as all the systems work well, Capiz will be having an electric power supply.
Tipon added that they will deploy their maintenance crews, linemen and other personnel for 24 hours, seven days a week to immediately respond to some problems before and after the election day.
The CAPELCO is one of the agencies that participated in the Joint Security Coordinating Center (JSCC) conference earlier held at the Capiz Police Provincial Office.
The conference aimed to review the PNP deployment and security plan during the election period. (PIA/Jemin B. Guillermo)
