I want to make an appeal to the
incoming President Duterte to help IMPROVE electricity and reduce incidents of
brown-out in the country especially here in the province of Quezon. I really hope that the government can SUBSIDIZE
Quezon Electric Cooperative (QueZelCo) if HE is SERIOUS to help the ordinary
citizens. I cannot completely blame the cooperative for POOR service – it may
be attributed to lack of funding.
If you are living here especially
in Lopez, Quezon – the people are SUFFERING because of frequent brown-outs
(ranging from 8am – 5pm) as they say
most of the times as ‘maintenance
schedule ‘ BUT it does not happen once a month sometimes twice a week PLUS
hours of interruption like from around
2am till 10am on that same week. Another eight more hours of interruption the next day, whew!
Imagine how hot the weather is
and the school children wearing uniforms in dimmed classrooms and OFF electric
fans?! You might pity yourself and the kids on that situation. Consumers have nothing to complain about
BECAUSE there is no choice – where to get electricity supply apart from the
Coop? I hope President Duterte or the
Department of Energy (DOE) thru his COMMAND can PROVIDE funding –if not subsidy, a LOAN in a flexible terms to aid the cooperative. It could be used to improve QueZelCo’s
facilities and the transmission of energy to the end-users, us, the public.
I sometimes thought of requesting
them to distribute power-interruption hours to the early hours at dawn (three
hours from 1am to 3am might NOT hurt)– not so hot weather and can not largely
affect the consumers, while sleeping. And sometimes an interruption that is
like a blink of an eye happens too– power is off for just about three
seconds and back again before you can turn off the lights, refrigerator, PC, TV
if you’re watching – great chances of
damaging machines and home appliances and may become a cause of FIRE due to
instant surge of electric current., correct me if I am wrong…
