The Alsons Power Group, Mindanao’s first private-sector power generator, recently turned over more than P10 million worth of medical equipment and emergency response vehicles to its host communities in Sarangani Province and Zamboanga City to help the local government units in both areas in the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic.
The group’s Western Mindanao Power Corporation (WMPC) delivered an emergency response vehicle, a utility vehicle, face masks for 7,000 beneficiaries, several laptop, and desktop computers, as well as bags of rice and other items to residents and officials of WMPC’s host barangay of Sangali in Zamboanga City.
WMPC operates a 100-megawatt diesel power plant supplying electricity to Zamboanga City and nearby areas.
WMPC plant manager Engr. Jose Marie Torrejon handed over the vehicles and other items to Sangali Barangay chairman Daud Bakil and other local officials.
Alsons Power’s Sarangani Energy Corporation (SEC) also turned over a fully-equipped ambulance to the provincial government of Sarangani.
The ambulance will be assigned to the newly-inaugurated community hospital in the Municipality of Glan.
Sarangani Vice Governor Elmer De Peralta and other officials received the ceremonial key to the ambulance from SEC community relations manager Joel Aton.
SEC operates a 210 MW baseload coal-fired power plant that provides power to Sarangani Province, General Santos City and other key areas of Mindanao.
