BUSINESSMAN WESLEY Chu has found a novel way of “repackaging” his business. Chu is the proprietor of King’s Houseware, which sells a variety of items for the home.
Cashing in on the political fever, he has “fielded” his own candidate, “eKing”, as “House Representative”.

Jose Nick Mendros, regional director of the Commission on Elections, to a question of what will happen to the people’s votes if they chose more than the required number of candidates for certain positions, and if it wasn’t tantamount to disenfranchisement if it none will be counted.

Isabel SB slams move to buy TransCo assets

by EVMail News on February 6, 2010

ISABEL, LEYTE – The Sanguniang Bayan of this municipality recently passed and approved a resolution vehemently opposing the acquisition of the Leyte Electric Cooperative V (Leyeco V) based in Ormoc City, of sub-transmission assets from the Mahayag substation to PASAR and PHILPHOS in LIDE, and instead endorsed the LIDE Management Corporation to acquire the same assets.

The Electric Power Industry Reform Act (EPIRA) of 1991 provides for the privatization of certain sub-transmission and distribution assets of the Transmission Corporation or TransCo. The preferred customers are the distribution utilities operating in the area, in this case Leyeco V. However, the bundled sub-transmission assets include the 138kV sub-transmission assets which supplies power to PASAR and PHILPHOS. These companies were previously directly connected with Transco, and enjoyed a preferential rate.

LEYECO V, it was learned, has submitted its intention to acquire the sub-transmission assets which is now pending at the Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC).
