PAVIA, Iloilo – Two more major establishments in the municipality of Pavia have successfully transitioned to MORE Electric and Power Corporation (MORE Power) as their new electricity distributor.
The migration marks a milestone for Marlu’s Restaurant, which becomes the first restaurant in Pavia to transfer to MORE Power.
Panay News likewise made the switch, becoming the first publishing company in the municipality to migrate to the utility firm.
The transition ceremonies for both establishments were held on February 18 at their respective offices.
The event at Marlu’s Restaurant was attended by owner Joaquin T. Cocjin, Pavia Municipal Administrator Joanna Mantilla, officials from the Municipal Engineer’s Office, and MORE Power executives led by Chief Operating Officer (COO) Paul Almedilla.
On the same day, Panay News formally marked its migration in a ceremony attended by its marketing manager, Leah Fajardo, along with representatives from MORE Power and officials of the Pavia local government unit.
“We are very glad to officially be part of MORE Power, especially with its expansion here in the Municipality of Pavia. When it was reported that Pavia was included in MORE Power’s expansion, we patiently waited for it. To all consumers who wish to avail themselves of the services provided by MORE Power, do not hesitate because its service is already tested and proven. It feels good that we ourselves are now able to experience it,” Fajardo said.
The transition underscores what stakeholders described as a significant development in the delivery of improved and more reliable electricity services to consumers in the area.
“MORE Power is happy with the trust that Panay News and Marlu’s Restaurant have given us. We assure them of quality service. We will continue to expand as planned, as our projects are already in the pipeline. The distribution utility is on track in this continuing transition,” Almedilla said.
The migration is anchored on a bill filed on September 20, 2021 by Iloilo 2nd District’s Cong. Michael Gorriceta and Iloilo 4th District’s Cong. Braeden John Biron, which seeks to extend MORE Power’s franchise to ensure improved and more dependable power distribution services.
MORE Power emphasized that the transfer process was seamless, assuring stakeholders within its expanded franchise area of its readiness to support economic growth and modernization efforts in the municipality./PN
