BACOLOD City – A new president took over the Central Negros Electric Cooperative (Ceneco) effective Tuesday.
Roy Cordova (director, District 4) replaced Arnel Lapore (director, District 2).
The election of new officers normally follows the Annual General Membership Assembly, which this year was held on April 30 at Tay Tung High School Gym.
It should be held during the first Board of Directors meeting after the general assembly.
Dwight Carbon (director, Murcia/Salvador Benedicto district), Joselito Gaston (Silay City) and Noel Alarcon (Talisay City) voted for Cordova, who also voted for himself.
Robert Javellana (Bago City) voted to keep Lapore. Joyce Martha Cuenca (District 1) abstained while Jojit Yap (District 3) was absent.
The new Ceneco president promised a “transparent and consultative” leadership.
Cordova first worked in Ceneco in 1982 as a meter reader.
He was later promoted supervisor and served as president of the Ceneco Union of Rationale Employees for 15 years.
In 2011 he resigned from Ceneco but got elected as District 4 director, defeating former Ceneco president Edward Gasambelo.
In 2014 Cordova tried to get re-elected as director but got disqualified — based on the new requirements set by the National Electrification Administration, a power distribution utility director should be at least a bachelor’s degree holder.
This forced him to take up Bachelor of Science in Business Administration under the Adult Education program of La Consolacion College. He graduated in 2016 at the age of 56.
During the election for directorship in March, Cordova won unopposed./PN
