CABARROGUIS, Quirino, Feb. 7 (PIA) -- The National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP) has announced that there will be a temporary shutdown of the  Quirino Electric Cooperative, one of the grid’s distribution utilities, on February 8, 2012 from 8:00 o’clock in the morning to 6:00 o’clock in the afternoon.
TUGUEGARAO CITY, Feb. 11 (PIA) -- The Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) 2 aims to implement eight Community Enterprise Projects (CEP) this year in the provinces of Cagayan, Isabela, Nueva Vizcaya and Quirino.
 
North Luzon Corporate Communication officer Lilibeth P. Gaydowen said the scheduled shutdown is for the NGCP’s annual preventive maintenance and testing of transformers and the associated equipment at Santiago substation.
DOLE 2 director Atty. Sixto T. Rodriquez Jr. said that under the program, P500,000 will be provided by the labor department to each of the projects to be determined by the different field offices.
 
   
Gaydowen said normal operations will immediately resume after work completion as she advised  NGCP customers and the general public to take the necessary preparations and precautions for this scheduled interruption.
Director Rodriguez said the fund that comes from the DOLE will be used to enhance the existing business of the proponent-association in a community.
 
Meanwhile Quirelco General Manager Fidel Pascua said that all the municipalities of the province will be affected by the scheduled power interruption. “If NGCP will be able to finish its work early, normal operations will resume even before 6 PM,” Pascua assured. (TCB/PIA-2 Quirino)
“This initiative of the DOLE is done with partner agencies like local government units, Department of Science and Technology, Department of Trade and Industry, Department of Agriculture and Technical Education and Skills Development Authority,” Rodriguez further said.
Last year, the department had funded three projects in the provinces Cagayan, Isabela and Quirino such as the coconut processing in Sanchez Mira, Cagayan, mongo processing in San Mateo, Isabela and banana chips processing in the province of Quirino.
“There were also pending projects for Solano, Nueva Vizcaya for its Bio- Organic Fertilizer Production and Lallo, Cagayan for Lubeg Wine Production. These, however, are assured to be implemented this year as included from the target number of projects,” Rodriguez assured.
CEP aims to transform community livelihoods into sustainable business. It was conceptualized to help disadvantaged and vulnerable workers who have inadequate income, limited access to productive resources and no social securities in a community. (TCB/RBE/IS/PIA 2)
