-MAASIN CITY, Southern Leyte, Feb. 10 (PIA)  --  Residents in 31 remote sitios all over this province can expect to avail the services of the local power firm Southern Leyte Electric Cooperative (SOLECO) anytime this year because of the rural electricity program of the National Electrification Administration (NEA).
+MAASIN CITY, Southern Leyte, Feb. 12 (PIA)  --  The Technical Education Skills Development Authority (TESDA) provincial office here has undergone the necessary processes required by an audit-qualifying body for it to pass the International Organization for Standardization (ISO).
-Benson Mindajao, Member Development Officer of SOLECO, told Philippine Information Agency (PIA) yesterday that the list was already submitted to NEA before Christmas last year for implementation which he hoped to be undertaken sooner.
-Last year, also before Christmas, two sitios were energized, Sitio Mangmang and Bagong Silang, all of Macrohon town, with a total cost of P 1.2 million mostly subsidized by the electrification agency, benefiting more than the minimum limit of 30 household connections, Mindajao said.
+In previous interviews with the Philippine Information Agency (PIA), TESDA Provincial Director Rolando Juanillo has intimated that his office was subjected to a rigorous scrutiny assessing its quality services, along with provincial offices of Samar and Leyte.
-For this year 2012, the total cost for energizing the 31 sitios or Puroks amounted to P 12,165,382.80 with SOLECO shouldering the labor component, among others, while the materials costing more than P 9 million was handled by NEA, Mindajao disclosed.
-This will be under its Subsidiary Electric Program or the Barangay Line Enhancement Program that was pushed aggressively for lighting all far-flung sitios nationwide as one of the pet priorities of President Benigno Aquino III, he added.
+Aside from the TESDA Central Office, Region 8 was part of the three regions initially selected to undergo the ISO certification, the two others were Regions 3 and the Cordillera Autonomous Region (CAR), Juanillo had revealed.
-Mindajao also said that four out of the 31 sitios were located in Maasin City, the rest distributed in the 18 other towns of the province.  These were Sitio Gawad Kalinga in barangay Combado, Sitio Alpha in San Rafael, Purok Anahawan in barangay Libhu, and Sitio Upper Kandiis, also of Libhu.
-In December, City Tourism Officer Royeno Segovia informed PIA  that all farthest sitios were already reached by an electrification program initiated by the city government.
+On February 10, Friday, the mentioned areas were scheduled to receive the ISO 9001-2008 certification for having complied the requirements on quality procedures among others, Juanillo told PIA over the phone Wednesday.
-When told about this, Mindajao said new sitios kept propping up every year which needed extension of their existing lines.
-In fact, for this year, aside from the 31 awaiting NEA’s go-signal, about 40 potential sitios are longing for power connectivity, and resolutions from barangays on this matter kept coming, Mindajao further said.  (Marcelino Pedalino - PIA8 Southern Leyte)
+An agency granted with the ISO mark usually enhances its reputation as a globally competitive office recognized to deliver quality product and services to its clientele, in an atmosphere of improved efficiency and at least cost, it was learned.
+Juanillo said that as of now all other TESDA provincial offices in the region will also be undergoing a similar process.(PIA8-Southern Leyte)
