Cahigon IPS Receive Barangay Electrification

Thursday, December 10, 2015 - 16:30

Calinog, Iloilo - Kerosene lamps and torches are now articles of the past for the Indigenous Peoples (IP) families of Barangay Cahigon, this town. What used to be an elusive dream for them in the mountainous area has become a reality when their request for electrification was heed and granted. 60 IP households were initially provided with electricity by the Iloilo II Electric Cooperative (ILECO II) through the Barangay Line Enhancement Program (BLEP).

The five million pesos BLEP availed by Brgy. Cahigon was secured through the continued partnership of the National Irrigation Administration (NIA)- proponent of the Jalaur River Multi-Purpose Project Stage II (JRMP II), Provincial Government of Iloilo (PLGU), Municipal Government of Calinog (MLGU), and ILECO II. The implementation of the program commenced in October 2015 and has energized 60 out of its 180 target households.
