Meanwhile, the DOE
highlighted the critical role of all its workers — from power supply and energy
services, down to energy transmission and power distribution.
It said they are
"backliners," who are important in ensuring the continuous operations
of frontliners amid the pandemic.
"Kung
meron po tayong frontliners, meron din tayong 'backliners' na nagsisiguro na
'yun pong mga kailangan ng ating mga frontliners, katulad ng power,
transportation, eh, nabibigyan po natin ng serbisyo," Cusi
said.
[Translation: If we
have frontliners, we also have "backliners," who cater to the needs
of our frontliners, such as power, transportation.]
"Pati
'yung mga oil station po, makikita ninyo na they continue to serve; they
continue to provide the necessary services para naman po makakilos din po ang
ating mga frontliners at ating mga kababayan," he added.
[Translation: Even
those in the oil stations — they continue to serve; they continue to provide
the necessary services for the benefit of our frontliners and citizens.]
The DOE said it is
coordinating with some players of the industry to keep the health of its
workers in check.
"We
coordinate with the industry players na magsagawa rin po ng medical measures
para sa gano’n ay maprotektahan din ang health ng ating backliners,"
Cusi said.
[Translation: We
coordinate with the industry players to provide medical measures for the
protection of the health of our backliners.]
The Energy chief lauded
the service of the backliners.
"Ako’y
nagpapasalamat sa’ting energy, transmission, at distribution companies,"
he said.
