The Responses of Mr. Erico Bucoy
Mr. Isagani Decena of San Jose, Antique rendered a song number in a program on Saturday, August 6, 2005 held at ASU, Banga. He sang “O Ilaw” with English translation. Here is a line he sang: “O Ilaw” translation: AKELCO. “Sa gabing madilim,” translation: FLASHLIGHT.
Mr. Erico Bucoy, Chief Executive Officer, AKELCO held presscon on Thursday, August 11 to respond to some criticism thrown to AKELCO on the matter of submarine cable by Mr. Pocholo Murillo of Boracay Foundation, Inc., on the contract between AKELCO and Mirant as jointly opposed by Hon. Ramon Gelito, Atty. Romeo Inocencio and Mr. Rudson Mayor and the dismissal of an AKELCO personnel relative to the withholding of disconnection notices for non payment of electric power consumption for nine (9) months of Mr. Chito Peralta – chairman of the AKELCO Board of Directors.
To the listeners, Mr. Bucoy sounded hurt and highly irritated by the issues hurled against the actions like the signing of AKELCO with Mirant of the Second contract on power purchase agreement and the putting up of submarine cable between Caticlan and Boracay despite the previously approved plan of Transco.
In the presscon, Mr. Bucoy sounded as if all the actions done at AKELCO were his alone. He never mentioned the AKELCO Board of Directors approving the policies, programs and projects which the Chief Executive officer implemented. He sounded as if all the actions made were his and no others. Is AKELCO his own and the actions criticized were his? It is remembered that AKELCO is consumers owned.
In the course of his presentation, Mr. Bucoy branded Mr. Murillo “mayabang, sinungaling, dishonest and hypocrite”. Mr. Bucoy advised Hon. Ramon Gelito to be “very careful because Gelito is a public official of Aklan”.
On the matter of rate computation, Mr. Bucoy said, “Hon. Ramon Gelito is the brother – in – law of a dismissed AKELCO official, Atty. Leovigildo Mationg” that probably prompted him to oppose the second contract signed by AKELCO and Mirant. Mr. Bucoy also asked what good has Atty. Romeo Inocencio done for the good of the Aklanons? This is indirectly saying that Mr. Bucoy has done many good things for the Aklanons and Atty. Inocencio has none. The consumer members are expecting from Mr. Bucoy what are the advantages for AKELCO for signing the second power purchase agreement and not his personal impression of Atty. Inocencio and Hon. Gelito.
I admire Mr. Bucoy for what he has done to the lot and facilities in Kalibo and Lezo.
He has transformed it into habitable and conducive place to work in. Mr. Bucoy as CEO has improved the dignity and personnel morale of AKELCO.
On the other hand, we request additional tact and diplomatic finesse in his response to public reactions to some of AKELCO actions and on matters which necessitate explanation to the public.

On Monday evening, August 8, Ms. Marietta Saraspi was held up at Poblacion, Kalibo, Aklan. A bag containing cash was taken from her. In the course of his escape, the hold upper hided inside the Cruztelco compound in Poblacion, Kalibo. The two (2) security guards of Cruztelco saw the hold up man, captured and recovered the bag. The police was informed of the incident and they came.
The hold upper was turned over to the Kalibo police. The bag containing cash was turned over too. After Ms. Saraspi got back her bag and counted the content, she declared all the content are in, all are recovered. Her son also announced all cash are recovered.
But not too long after, the Kalibo police went to the living quarters of the two security guards who caught and turned over the hold up man to the police. They went there to search for the alleged missing cash from the bag of Ms. Saraspi. As a result of the search, no cash was recovered, but the security guard claimed his gun was missing after the search.
This incident is a case where concerned persons caught a hold upper in behalf of the police but who were later subjected to search of their living quarters for alleged missing cash in a bag they recovered. If this is the case, who will help the police in their jobs next time? /MP http://madyaas_pen @yahoo.com
