00:00Target ng Energy Department na may balik sa normal ang supply ng kuryente sa Siquijor sa susunod na buwan.
00:07Sa ngayon ay binawi na ng DOE ang Certificate of Compliance ng Siquijor Island Power Corporation.
00:15Si Jesse Atienza sa Centro ng Balita.
00:21Mag-iisang linggo ng tenga ang generator set ng restaurant na ito sa bayan ng San Juan sa lalawigan ng Siquijor.
00:28Ibig sabihin, unti-unti nang naayos ang power supply sa kanilang lugar.
00:34Nagsisimula na rin magsibalikan ang kanilang mga lokal na customer.
00:58Medyo mahal yung prudo.
01:00Matinding dagok ang pinagdaanan ng mga negosyante.
01:03Umabot sa punto na tatlong beses kada linggo, sarado ang kainan dahil sa wala ng masyadong customer.
01:10Doble pa ang gastos kung may generator na umaandar.
01:13For one week, supposed to be, isang araw lang yung day off, naging gawa ng tatlo.
01:20So, pati mga employees, nagsasuffer din.
01:24Kasi hindi ma-provide namin yung salary nila.
01:28Kumbaga, lost talaga ng previous two months.
01:31May ilang lugar sa lalawigan ang nakaranas pa rin ng rotational brownouts.
01:35Paliwanag ng provincial government, may abiriyah ang ilan sa mga generator sets
01:40na siyang tumutulong sa pagbigay ng supply ng kuryente sa lalawigan.
01:44Essentially, what happened was, the existing of the existing lazy plants,
01:51sa lazy plants, sa titignao plant, the regular gen set there,
02:00na preventive maintenance.
02:05So, generally, we have two backup gen sets.
02:10Of the two backup gen sets, one was already being used,
02:14the other one is, I wouldn't say inoperational,
02:20but they didn't use the machine because they chose not to renew
02:24because they already had the backup one,
02:27and then perhaps maybe the gen sets were working fine
02:33until just this morning, I mean, just the other day.
02:38Kaya when the machines bugged down and they didn't have another backup,
02:42wala silang N-2,
02:44then they had no choice but to renew their contract
02:49with the rental power provider.
02:55Sinabi ni Energy Secretary Sharon Garin
02:58na nagpadala na siya ng liham sa Energy Regulatory Commission
03:02sa pagbawi ng Certificate of Compliance ng SIPCOR.
03:06Last week, late last week, I have issued a letter to the Energy Regulatory Commission
03:13that we are retracting, withdrawing our endorsement of SIPCOR for their COC.
03:21Sikihore is not alone.
03:22There are more Sikihores in the country.
03:24And we will do this in all the islands that we have problems.
03:27If the generation company does not prove their capacity to deliver what they have promised
03:34per contract with the electric cooperative,
03:38then we will ask for the cancellation of their COC.
03:42Hindi daw dapat maranasan ng mga taga-SIPCOR
03:45ang mga perwisyon ng dahil sa power interruption.
03:48We cannot afford to have this kind of service
03:52in any of our islands.
03:56We cannot afford to have a generation company
03:59deliver this kind of service.
04:02Kaya po, with the directive of the President,
04:04who is concerned about the livelihood
04:07as well as the lives of every Filipino
04:11affected by Sikihore problem,
04:13come September,
04:17the DOE is determined to make sure
04:19that Sikihore is back in business.
04:23Bula sa lalawigan ng Sikihore,
04:25Jesse Atienza para sa Pambansang TV
04:27sa Bagong Pilipinas.
