SOCOTECO II lowers brownout hours June 14 but power rates still UP
On June - 11 - 2010 - 160 views
Now that La Nina is upon us and that summer is officially over, SOCOTECO has again come up with a Power Curtailment Adjustment meant to make everyone (their consumers, at the very least) happy.
Effective June 14, 2010 to June 27, 2010, the area of coverage of the whole of SOCOTECO II will experience ONLY 2.5 hours brownouts ONCE A DAY!!!
Below is their letter containing SOCOTECO II’s New Brownout Schedule:
Now, if they could only do something about the VERY PROHIBITIVE POWER RATES which has increased our household’s power consumption bill from P3,000 monthly on the average to P6,000 last April and now up to P9,000 this month!
STILL A TWO THUMBS DOWN FOR SOCOTECO II AND COHORTS
Because of this, BARILES is still giving them and their cohorts at NGCP two THUMBS DOWN rating.
How about you? Tell us your POWER CONSUMPTION BILL HORROR STORIES below….. NOW NA!

suprinsingly…..ang taas ng bill namin. ..mga GENERALS: we succesfully made sosocteco change/lessen the brownout…now is the time we should boycott or do something sa taas ng singil nila. we should put an end…tulong tulong tayo. Calling mr willi ramos…yong nag organize ng rally sa harapan ng socoteco. i guess may epeckto din pala if people will air their sentiments sa kinauukolan.

dapat nating tandaan, ang mga kuntador kinabit ng socoteco sa ating haus. . . maluwag yung meter dahil dyan sila kumikita. sinadya nilang luwagan ang kuntador dahil kumikita sila sa bilis kaya laik ng bayad natin.
kumikita ang socoteco dahil ginagamit nila ang napocor, ngcp para makasingil na mataas na rate.
need nilang taasan ang rate dahil dyan kumikita ang socoteco para sa kanilang perks. . . at mag enjoy ang mga board members. . . . mag enjoy lahat ng empleyado . .

the problem in gensan is the officials…
in leadership,they are reactive not proactive….
power shortage had been an issue long enough that our mayor should have found solutions…
sadly they are busy doing other things than what they can do for the people of gensan, worse, **** now in congress….
people should be wise voter next time….
there are far better personalities than those in position today…

@saint, you are barking at the wrong tree. It’s the Department of Energy’s call to answer the power needs of the populace. LGU’s are as helpless as the next Tom, Dick and Harry when it comes to these things. The whole Soccsksargen experienced the power outages and not just GenSan. Thanks for commenting though.
