Who will be the next general manager of the Aklan Electric Cooperative (Akelco)? Melecio Sauza Jr., consultant for operations, said the management is looking for a qualified general manager for the next three months to oversee Akelco’s operations." Applicants have to undergo the process of selection, interviews and examination with the National Electrification Administration (NEA)," he said. Sauza denied he is interested in the post after NEA dissolved the position of executive officer (EO) and chief operating officer (CEO). He said former Makato mayor and ex-CEO Wayne Malilay has signified his interest for the managerial post.
This was also confirmed by Akelco Board President Augusto Tolentino over DYRU Super Radyo Kalibo yesterday. He said another member of the management team - Sylvia Quinesio from Numancia, Aklan — is also interested to head Akelco. According to Sauza, Erico Bucoy, Akelco’s former executive officer, resigned on September 5 and opted to assist ailing electric cooperatives in Mindanao, including Basilan and Bukidnon. Akelco, an A+ category electric cooperative, held its Annual General Membership Assembly last Saturday, September 16, in Lezo, Aklan.Bucoy, under the new management team, took over Akelco in April 2002 after NEA suspended then Akelco general manager Leovigildo Mationg over management issues." At least five candidates should be listed by the board of directors to NEA. From that, NEA will endorse the short-list, at least three, for the Akelco board to select the general manager," Sauza pointed out.
Akelco, established on April 25, 1972, is the sole power distributor in Aklan province, including the famous Boracay Island, and the towns of Libertad and Pandan in Antique. Akelco has reduced its system loss to 13 percent, Sauza said. /MP mailto:madyaas_pen@yahoo.com
