Butuan City – The
Association of Mindanao Electric Cooperatives (AMRECO) has extended
humanitarian assistance to the Marawi evacuees.
In behalf of all the
electric cooperatives in Mindanao, AMRECO president Sergio C. Dagooc, who is
also the general manager of Siargao and Dinagat Islands electric cooperatives,
handed a check for P200, 000 to Lanao del Sur Electric Cooperative (Lasureco)
acting general manager Nordjana Dipatuan-Ducola, for the benefit of evacuees,
who fled the Marawi conflict.
Along with top
officials of National Electrification Administration (NEA), led by
Administrator Edgardo R. Masongsong, officials of AMRECO also donated to Marawi
evacuees goods and undetermined amount of cash from employees and stakeholders
of different electric cooperatives.
“Our colleagues,
employees, and workers of Lasureco who were also badly affected by the Marawi
crisis also need our support,” Dagooc yesterday said.
He said the energy
companies like National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP), GN Power
and electric cooperatives and their employees throughout the country
contributed to help in the endeavor.
AMRECO has already
donated 50 sacks of rice to affected families belonging to Lasureco; the
National Association of General Managers of Electric Cooperatives, 412 plastic
boxes containing assorted foods, rice, can goods, medical supplies including
hygiene kits; and the National Electric Cooperative Owners, a total of
P500,000.
