To formulate policies and implementing tools for short and long-term solutions to the power crisis that Marinduque is experiencing now, a Multi-Stakeholder Summit on Energy will be held on October 9-10, 2009, at the Marinduque State College (MSC) Covered Court in Boac, Marinduque. The summit is organized by the Provincial Government of Marinduque through the Sangguniang Panlalawigan.
The forum includes a presentation of the Current Situation by MARELCO, Napocor and 3i Powergen and "Presentation of Solution to the Problem" by speakers from the National Electrification Administration (NEA), Cooperative Development Authority (CDA), Department of Energy (DOE) and National Power Corporation (NPC). Also invited are Gov. Jose Antonio Carrion and Congresswoman Carmencita Reyes.
Meanwhile, a mass rally participated in by multi-sectoral groups is set on Monday, October 12, 2009, in front of the Marelco building in Brgy. Ihatub, Boac. Black shirted rallyists are expected to gather en-masse in front of the capitol building and other sites before proceeding to Ihatub.

Eli,
Thanks for keeping everyone up to date on what's happening, we would be even more in the dark without you.
I do hope something positive will come out of this meeting. On another subject of positive note is the news that SEAIR will start air Service from Manila to Marinduque and back beginning October 17. Now, Marinduque will have daily air service from Manila. This will indeed boast tourism in the province and also a convenience to business men and women and to some residents. Allelujah!
Sure will a better access to the island encourage tourist and business man/woman to come over. Provided that the power is there.
Anyone knows about the results of the summit? Pitty I did not know enough of it, I surely would have stayed a bit longer to put forward another solution. I know of a petition requesting for another power solution.
Please blog on..
