The Malinao School for Philippine Craftsmen and Numancia Integrated School are the first schools oriented on the said info drive. AKELCO Training Unit of the HR/IDD department prepared a Video documentary showing the harmful effects of Climate Change. They will also orient teachers and students on the AKELCO History, Current Power Situation, Electrical Safety and Energy Conservation.

The drive is part of the national activities on the forthcoming International Convention on Rural Electrification (I-CORE) in August as AKELCO’s way of celebrating the 40th Foundation Anniversary of the National Electrification Administration (NEA) with the theme “Kuryente Ay Kailangan Para Sa Maunlad Na Sambayanan”, in partnership with the 119 electric cooperatives that continue to light up homes by pursuing the mandate of total electrification.

NEA’s grand com-memoration also coin-cides on the National Electrification Awareness Month declared recently by virtue of Executive Proclamation No. 1743.
