Lawmakers demand immediate resolution on power issues 0 SHARES Share it! Share TweetBy Ben RosarioAdministration congressmen on Wednesday urged the Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC) to resolve immediately its investigation into the complaint of Iloilo City Mayor Jerry Treñas against an electric cooperative operating in Panay island. In separate statements, Reps. Julienne Baronda (NUP, Iloilo City) and Jerico Nograles (PBA Partylist) reminded the ERC that unless the controversy is resolved, there will be uncertainty in the power situation in the island. Iloilo City Rep. Julienne Baronda lauded Trenas decision to file the complaint which was coursed through Malacañang. The House and the Senate both awarded the legislative franchise to operate as Iloilo City’s distribution utility to More Electric and Power Corp. (MORE) in December last year, ending PECO’s 95-year-monopoly in electricity distribution in the city.
