Davao Light and Power Company

Around 700 households from Purok San Vicente in Barangay Talomo now enjoy electricity service from Davao Light and Power Co., just in time before the Christmas celebration. This project is in partnership with Congressman Karlo Nograles of the 1st District of Davao City.

 

Davao Light has installed 66 poles, free-of-charge, to extend service to the said community.

 

Last November 22, a ceremonial switch-on was conducted to signify that the purok is now electricity-ready. Present during the ceremonial switch-on were Congressman Koko Nograles of PBA Partylist, Davao Light EVP and COO Rodger S. Velasco, Davao Light's Senior Project Engineer for Rural Electrification Engr. Charlo Deniega, Davao Light Community Relations Manager Fermin Edillon, barangay officials and residents of Purok San Vicente.

 

This endeavor is part of Davao Light's aim to provide electricity to urbanized communities within its franchise that still don't have access to electricity. This is also a way to avoid illegal tapping of power, which is prone to accidents such as fire.

 

“We would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to the local government of Davao City and to Davao Light for making all these possible. This will surely be a brighter Christmas for us as we will now enjoy the benefits of having an electric service connection.” said Brgy. Captain Bendor A. Calamba of Brgy. Talomo.
