The National Electrification Administration (NEA) held a two-day Consultative Conference with the Electric Cooperatives (ECs) from 19 to 20 May 2022 at the Philippine International Convention Center (PICC), Pasay City. 113 ECs from Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao, represented mostly by General Managers, participated in the event.

NEA Administrator Emmanuel P. Juaneza set the direction of rural electrification in consideration of the new national leadership. In protecting the ECs interests, he invited them to ensure that their competency as business entities and providers shall be at par or better than that of the private companies. This entails revisiting their relationship with the MCOs and strengthening linkages with LGUs and members of the House of Representatives.

“We must review our resources for transitioning into renewable energy, it is part of the Philippine Energy Plan”, the NEA chief adds.

Following the 09 May 2022 elections, President Rodrigo Roa Duterte has issued Administrative Order (AO) No. 47 officializing the creation of the Presidential Transition Committee (PTC) and mandating government departments, agencies, bureaus, and instrumentalities to create Internal Transition Committees (ITC) for a proper and orderly transition of government into the next Administration.

The National Electrification Administration (NEA) created its ITC headed by Administrator Emmanuel P. Juaneza with Deputy Administrators Rossan SJ. Rosero-Lee, Omar M. Mayo, Sonia B. San Diego, and Acting Deputy Administrator Ernesto O. Silvano, Jr. as Vice-Chairpersons through Office Order No. 2022-098 last 13 May 2022.

Further composed by selected Department Managers, the ITC shall oversee the formulation and implementation of systems and procedures for transition and ensure continued operations of NEA Departments and Offices during the transition period. ###

The Office of the Presidential Adviser on Peace, Reconciliation and Unity (OPAPRU) expressed their appreciation to the National Electrification Administration (NEA) for its support in the peace process with the Rebolusyonaryong Partido Manggagawa ng Pilipinas/Revolutionary Proletarian Army/Alex Boncayao Brigade-Tabara Paduano Group (RPM-P/RPA/ABB-TPG), now called KAPATIRAN.

OPAPRU commended the Aklan Electric Cooperative, Inc. (AKELCO) being one of the dozens of government agencies who converged to witness the inauguration and signing of partnership agreements. IBAJAY Peace and Development Community (PDC) Site is the first housing awarding event for the KAPATIRAN in Panay Island.
