 NEA Administrator Emmanuel P. Juaneza welcomed the more than 300 participants from the 102 ECs.

The National Electrification Administration (NEA) attended the National Commission on Indigenous Peoples (NCIP) National Summit of "ICCs/IPs Unification with the Government Nation Building" with the theme, "Building Families, Building AD/AL Communities and Building the Nation" held at the AFP Commissioned Officers Club House, Camp Aguinaldo, Quezon City on 16 November 2022.

The summit was led by its Chairperson, Secretary Allen A.

Attorney Marlon A. Bosantog, Chairperson of Indigenous Peoples Rights Act (IPRA) Center, discussed the 13 Drivers for Nation-Building – Economic Recovery, while Director Gillian S. Dunuan of NICP Legal Affairs Office shared the Collaborative Framework of Agencies with the ICCs/IPs – Call to Action and Ways Forward.

Amidst the pressing issue of high power rates mainly attributable to the price of fossil fuel and peso exchange rate to US dollar, the National Electrification Administration (NEA) conducted the 2023 Strategic Thinking with the Electric Cooperatives to address the requirements of the changing environment and satisfy the heightened expectations of the stakeholders towards a clean energy future.

Board Presidents, General Managers and other officials of the electric cooperatives (ECs) from Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao attended the event held at the headquarters of Peninsula Electric Cooperative, Inc. (PENELCO) in Bataan last 15-16 November 2022.
