Electricity consumers in the Island Garden City of Samal in Davao del Norte province joined an interfaith prayer rally over the weekend to protest the continued power woes in their area.
MANILA, Philippines —
“Tuloy ang laban hanggang sa magkaroon ng tamang desisyon sa ating matagal ng ipinaglaban para sa kuryente ng Davao del Norte. Mahal na Pangulo kuryente namin sobrang problema na!” Jubahib appealed in his speech. He pointed out the urgent need for sufficient power supply because it directly affects not just the economy and tourism industry of the island, but also the water supply.
Meanwhile, the consumer group also conferred the "Gawad Konsumerante" to recognized leaders in the province for their consumer rights advocacies. Among those awarded were Hon. Edwin Jubahib, Governor, Davao del Norte; Hon. Al David Uy, Mayor, Island Garden City of Samal; Engr. Sean Gellarangarin, President, Tagum City Chamber of Commerce and Industry Inc.; Engr. Aerol Conde, Past President, Tagum City Chamber of Commerce and Industry Inc.; Lorenzo Rubinos Sr.
