The National Electrification Administration (NEA) has fully restored electricity to homes, businesses, and schools in Siquijor province, meeting the 15 June deadline set by President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. to resolve the island’s power crisis.
President Marcos directed NEA Administrator Antonio Mariano Almeda on 11 June to address the issue, which had left thousands affected by rotating brownouts.
The Presidential Communications Office (PCO) said NEA acted promptly by coordinating with the Province of Siquijor Electric Cooperative (PROSIELCO) to expedite repairs on power generation sets operated by the Siquijor Island Power Corporation (SIPCOR). A generator set from the Palawan Electric Cooperative (PALECO) was also transported and installed to support the effort.
“NEA remains committed to monitoring the power situation in Siquijor to ensure that families, businesses, and schools continue to enjoy reliable electricity in the days and weeks ahead,” the PCO said.
