 load curtailment requirements. Power supply curtailment has been imposed by NGCP in Southern Mindanao since August 2009 due to power generation deficiency, ranging from 20 MW to as high as 40 MW, daily.
As per recent NGCP advice, water elevation at hydroelectric power plants reaches below critical level. Power crisis is expected to continue until rainy season arrives or until power generation deficiency is addressed.
SOCOTECOII management implores for public’s understanding since this power crisis is beyond its control and is experienced by Mindanao and the Philippines, as a whole. The management also finds difficulty in coming up with load shedding schedule due to the erratic curtailment demands required by NGCP from SOCOTECOII, which varies at hourly basis.
Energy conservation activities are requested from all electricity users, especially during 5PM to 9PM, through the following:
1. No ironing of clothes on above-mentioned time;
2. Limited use of air-conditioner and other electrical appliances;
3. Unplugging of refrigerators/freezers from 6PM to 8PM;
4. Use one television set only for the whole family;
5. Sensible use of lighting facilities at home
Thank you.

Pacific Seas Seafood Market’s quality frozen tuna
There is a good number of stores in Gen. Santos City specializing in frozen tuna and tuna by-products but when it comes to quality, no one beats Pacific Seas Seafood Market.
Before they opened more than a year ago at their branch at Fauni Building, along the National Highway, locals and visitors alike had to contend with buying frozen tuna in loose packs from existing suppliers. Loose packaging is actually vulnerable to mishandling, and as any tuna connoisseur know… the tuna meat inside is more likely to be exposed to bacteria causing easy spoilage.
Pacific Seas Seafood Market is the first to come out with vacuum-packed frozen tuna products thus ensuring their freshness and quality, much like the way they have been exporting to the US and EU through their mother company, Frescomar Seahelm Corporation for quite sometime now.
In a city known as the Tuna Capital, its denizens are obviously becoming more conscious on how their favorite delicacy is handled and packed and are most likely to demand that they get only the best-quality tuna, whether for themselves or for pasalubong and pabaon. An outsider would be less aware on the differences of the quality of the frozen tuna “panga” (jaws) or tuna belly being offered to him but the “general” (as a local would call himself) would know good from bad.
Compared to its competitors, Pacific Seas Seafood Market’s products may be premium-priced but there is no discounting the fact that they definitely raised the bar when it comes to selling export-quality seafood products.
Other than frozen tuna parts and its value-added tuna products like longganiza, tapa, embutido, ham, nuggets, siomai, and the like, Pacific Seas Seafood Market also sells diana, pompano, pink salmon, milkfish (bangus), blue marlin and others. For more inquiries, and for FREE DELIVERY to your location within downtown GenSan, call them at telephone numbers (083) 3015678. Look for Marz.
Pacific Seas Seafood Market also has branches at Matina, Davao City (nearNCCC Mall) and Aparente Avenue, City Heights, GenSan.
Bariles is a Filipino word for “Tuna”, the primary source of income of the people of General Santos City which hosts 6 of the Philippines’ 8 tuna canneries and more than 80% of its tuna processing plants.
