Unity Forum to oppose holding of Ceneco’s AGMA

Electric consumers in Bacolod City and in other areas covered by the franchise of the Central Negros Electric Cooperative (CENECO) will hold a “Unity Forum for Consumers in the Power Industry (UFC-PI)” today, Aug. 19, 2021 at 10am, Negros Press Club at San Juan St., Bacolod.

In a press statement, the forum, composed of three organizations – Power Watch Negros, Alliance of Concerned Transport In Occidental Negros, and Consumers Alliance for Reforms, along with other consumer groups in Talisay, Silay, Bago, Murcia and Don Salvador Benedicto “have consolidated themselves to launch the Power Advocates Consumers Council (PACC) which is an alliance that will promote the solidarity and empowerment of all member-consumer-owners (MCOs) of CENECO.”

“PACC will present its position paper to articulate their rising tide of discontent against some officials of CENECO who are not protecting the rights of the MCOs whom they had sworn to serve. They will pass a resolution to express their vehement opposition against the holding of the 43rd Annual General Membership Assembly (AGMA) as proposed by management. They are planning to conduct a signature campaign to postpone the AGMA due to pandemic,” the statement signed by Power Watch Secretary-General Wennie Sancho added.*
