BONTOC, Mt. Province, Jan. 13 (PIA) -– The Sangguniang Panlalawigan(SP) here passed a resolution strongly supporting the proposal of Batangas Congressman Hermilando I. Mandanas for a P500 Billion increase in the Internal Revenue Allotment (IRA) of local government units (LGUs) for 2012.
QUEZON CITY, Jan. 17 (PIA) -- The Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC) has approved the Certificates of Compliance (COC) for generation facilities located in the provinces of Romblon, Palawan and Marinduque.
The SP stated in its resolution that it is but proper that LGUs throughout the country obtain their just share from the 2012 IRA so as the basic services for the deprived municipalities and provinces will be addressed and attended to.
The ERC amended the COC of KW Hydroelectric Power Plant in barangay Taclobo, San Fernando, Romblon under the Catingas Hydro Power Plant Corporation. Eleven power plants from Palawan and three power plants from Marinduque under the National Power Corporation (NPC-SPUG) were given a renewal of COC. A power plant from Palawan and three power plants from Marinduque under the National Power Corporation (NPC-SPUG) were also issued COC.
The SP was informed of Mandanas’ proposal through Resolution No. 449, S. 2011 of the Sangguniang Panlalawigan of Marinduque strongly supporting the proposal of the congressman and urging all other local government units in the country to support the same.
The ERC found merit in the granting of renewal or amendment of the COCs of power plants in Palawan, Marinduque and Romblon after complying with the technical, financial and environmental standards set in ERC’s Rules for the Issuance of Certificate of Compliance (COC) for Generation Companies and Facilities (COC Rules). The generating units were also found to be compliant with the Philippine Grid Code (PGC) and Philippine Distribution Code (PDC), the WESM Rules, and environmental and other applicable laws.
It is mentioned in the Marinduque SP resolution that the LGUs have 40-percent share from the total taxes collected by the national government, including value- added tax, excise tax and documentary stamp tax. However, in an inquiry and study conducted by Congressman Mandanas, it revealed that the LGUs are not getting their share since 1992.
A COC is a pre-requisite to the commencement of the commercial operations of a power generating plant. It is valid for five years and must be renewed six months prior to its expiration. The issued or renewed or amended COCs will be valid for five years or until 2016.
Since 1992, the LGUs have been deprived of their respective share in national internal revenue taxes amounting to no less than P500 billion, it added.
A total of 32 COCs has been approved for generating companies/facilities which will cover MIPAROPA, North Luzon, Quezon, Siquijor and Cotabato City.
The resolution also mentioned that with the additional P500 Billion, LGUs will be able to expedite the delivery of long delayed and urgently needed basic services, it will help create jobs, stimulate the economy, and enable the implementation of the public-private partnership programs nationwide.(JDP/JBS-PIA CAR, Mt. Province)
“The issuance of these COCs for NPC-SPUG gives assurance to the consuming public of a sustainable, viable, safe and reliable supply of electricity,” ERC Chairperson Zenaida G. Cruz-Ducut said. (TBO/JAC/PIA-MIMAROPA.Quezon City)
