Around 1,400 personnel from the National Electrification Administration (NEA) and its partner electric cooperatives (ECs) showed up at the Quirino Grandstand in Manila, Sunday (28 January 2024), to support the “Bagong Pilipinas” (New Philippines) thrust of President Ferdinand Marcos, Jr.

Administrator Antonio Mariano Almeda led the NEA-EC delegation at the kick-off rally, representing the rural electrification sector—a critical component in the government’s broader ambition to provide Filipinos universal access to electricity nationwide.

The National Electrification Administration (NEA) signed two separate memoranda of understanding (MOU) with the Philippine Space Agency (PhilSA) and the University of the Philippines (UP) to collaborate on various plans, programs, and projects aimed at accelerating its total electrification plan.

The National Electrification Administration (NEA) requested anew the services of educators from the University of the Philippines (UP) to provide competency training and certification programs in electric power distribution system engineering.

This was formalized in a seven-page Memorandum of Agreement (MOA ) executed by NEA Administrator Antonio Mariano Almeda and UP Chancellor Edgardo Carlo Vistan II.
