CALAPAN CITY, Oriental Mindoro, November 15 (PIA) -- The Divine Word College of Calapan (DWCC) in cooperation with Calapan Cable Center,Inc. and Apostolic Vicariate of Calapan’s (AVC) Commission on Family and Life will conduct a reproductive health forum on Friday, Nov. 18, 1:00 p.m. at DWCC gymnasium.
MANILA, Philippines — The island-grid of Mindoro will have its power supply shored up with the kick-off of commercial operations of the 6.4-megawatt power facility of Ormin Power Inc. a subsidiary of publicly-listed Jolliville Holdings Corporation.
The forum titled ‘Ang Dalawang Mukha ng RH Bill’ will focus on medico-legal aspects of the bill with guest experts like Ms. Risa Hontiveros-Baraquel, spokesperson of AKBAYAN Partylist; Fr. Vicente R. Uy, AVC’s Judicial Vicar; and medical advocates from Pro-life Manila and Center for Women’s Health, Inc.
 
This will be participated in by the students and teachers of DWCC, heads of the national and local government offices, private schools, NGO’s and other religious groups in the province of Oriental Mindoro.
The project sponsor’s parent firm also announced via the Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE) that the facility had the first day of its commercial operations on Friday (November 11).
Prior to the forum, there will be a press conference at 10:30 a.m.with the local media, campus writers and editorial staff of DWCC
 
Gazette at DWCC Basic Education Centennial Hall.
“OPI will supply generated power to Oriental Mindoro Electric Cooperative,” the company has noted. The facility is sited in the capital city of Calapan.
The coverage of the program will be aired live over Calapan Cable Community Channel 8 through the television program dubbed ‘No Holds Barred’ produced by Mr. Don Stepherson V. Calda, External and Alumni Affairs Officer of DWCC and Executive Producer of the program. (Louie

The company emphasized that it was able to secure its license to operate the plant last November 8, via the certificate of compliance (CoC) issued by the Energy Regulatory Commission.
 
The facility has been designed to run on bunker fuel. It has four modular units – with the three to be utilized as main generating units and the other one taking on the function of heavy fuel oil (HFO) treatment system.
 
The project was propelled into construction phase immediately after the approval of the P275.889- million loan for the project by the Development Bank of the Philippines.
 
Considerably, Mindoro is one of the island-grids with vast potential for economic growth – with it already hosting various tourism facilities as well as some mining projects.
 
In fact, given the area’s growth potential, proposals have already been advanced by system operator National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP) to have the island get connected eventually to the main grid so it can draw more competitive power from other Luzon providers.
 
The longer term prospect for the grid operator would also be to link the other islands to the main grid, including those sprawling close to Mindoro.
 
Meanwhile, after the completion of the oil-fired facility, Ormin Power is exploring investments next in the renewable energy sector.
 
The firm already made previous announcement that it has been working on a project design for a proposed 10-megawatt hydropower project in the municipality of San Teodoro, also in Mindoro province.
