CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY –
President Rodrigo Duterte is set to inaugurate the FDC Misamis Power Corp. (FDC
Misamis) 405-megawatt coal-fired power plant in Villanueva, Misamis Oriental
Thursday afternoon.
The President will join
FDC (Filinvest Development Corp.) officials in the unveiling of the marker and
in the ceremonial switch-on. He will also give a keynote speech during the
program.
The power plant, said
FDC Misamis vice chairman Andrew Gotianun Jr. in a statement, is “in line with
the Duterte’s administration’s thrust to promote regional growth most
especially in Mindanao.”
The company said the
power plant, although it uses coal to generate electricity, employs the latest
in clean generation through the circulating fluidized bed boiler (CFB)
technology.
“Considered as the
cleanest process to burn coal, the technology (CFB) is also known for having
higher steam generator thus lowering carbon emissions,” it said.
After the inauguration
ceremony, the President will then proceed to the Philippine National Police
regional headquarters in Camp Vicente Alagar to talk with the police forces,
and to preside in the command conference with the police officials in Northern
Mindanao.
Chief Supt. Noel Constantino, the
regional police chief, will present to Duterte their accomplishment in line
with the government’s anti-illegal drug campaign.
