Mother of Child on the Autism Spectrum Expresses Gratitude to SM City Iloilo Security Guards

ILOILO CITY — A simple act of assistance and care brought immense relief to a mother who became worried after being separated from her child, who is on the autism spectrum, at SM City Iloilo. In a letter sent on October 11, 2026, the mother expressed her gratitude to two security guards, SG Jomar Bautista and LG Lee Joy Panoy, who assisted her child after the latter became separated from her inside the mall.

According to the information shared by the mother, her child approached the guards after getting lost and realizing that his cellphone had been left behind. The guards immediately lent the child a cellphone so they could contact the mother. Their assistance did not stop there. They also stayed with the child and ensured her safety and well-being while waiting for the mother's arrival. For any parent, not knowing the whereabouts or condition of their child can be an extremely distressing experience. However, through the prompt assistance and attentive care of the two guards, the mother found relief upon confirming that her child was safe. Through the letter sent to SM Customer Care, the management of SM City Iloilo learned about the incident and the exemplary service demonstrated by the guards. Although their actions may have seemed simple, they reflected a deeper meaning of service: respecting every individual, understanding their circumstances, and providing assistance with compassion and dignity. It can be noted that SM City Iloilo also regularly conducts seminars for its security and maintenance personnel, together with its tenants, to reinforce awareness and provide guidance on how to appropriately assist and care for customers with special needs.

MORE Power Bags Apex Company of the Year

MANILA, Philippines – MORE Electric and Power Corporation (MORE Power) took home the prestigious APEX Company of the Year award, held on October 13, 2026, at the Marriott Grand Ballroom, Resorts World Manila. MORE Power President and CEO Mr. Roel Castro received the award beaming with pride. Castro was also a finalist in the Asia CEO Awards. The APEX Company of the Year is awarded to companies that show significant innovation, contribute to economic advancement, demonstrate strategic leadership, and drive national transformation.

“APEX company of the year recognizes companies that have achieved something significant but more importantly companies whose success can impact beyond their own organization,” says Haidee Enriquez of Microsourcing Group. As a distribution utility, MORE Power strengthened its services in more than six years. It capitalized on rehabilitating the substations, put up new substations, put up insulated power lines, as well as a modern and centralized monitoring system for the entire distribution utility. The company also initiated the underground cabling of JM Basa Street in Iloilo City Proper District to eliminate spaghetti wires while highlighting the beauty of the heritage sites. “We are very happy that as an electric distribution utility, where customers sometimes think they don’t have any choice, we try to give our best to our customers in terms of rates as well as in terms of service,” says Mr. Roel Castro. At present, MORE Power is processing the migration of consumers in Pavia and San Miguel after it was given the Certificate of Public Convenience to operate in some parts of the Iloilo Province. Mr. Castro was grateful for the consumers of MORE Power for its support to the company citing that the true measure of success is the extent of the benefits that consumers could enjoy. Among the finalists in the same category are companies such as Acquire Intelligence, Asian Hospital and Medical Center, Concentrix Philippines, Datamatic Global Service Corporation, Pag-IBIG Fund, Magsaysay Maritime Corporation, Robinsons Malls, SixEleven Global Services and Solutions, Inc.

MORE Power employees and Iloilo City farmers harvest over 200 hybrid melons

MORE Electric and Power Corporation (MORE Power) continues to extend its commitment beyond reliable electric distribution service by supporting initiatives that create practical and sustained opportunities for communities, including Iloilo City’s urban farmers. The Harvest Festival held in Barangay Ticud, La Paz, Iloilo City, on September 24, 2026, was once again a success. The activity was spearheaded by the Iloilo City Agriculturist Office, together with the Ticud Farmers Association, under the program of the Iloilo City Government and private company MORE Power. Also in attendance at the event were the Executive Assistant to the Mayor and former Councilor Ely Estante, along with other stakeholders. More than 200 high-quality hybrid Fujisawa and Inthanon melons were harvested and purchased by MORE Power employees during the Harvest Festival. The event also featured various freshly harvested vegetables and fruits, giving employees and community members an opportunity to directly support the farmers while enjoying their produce.

MORE Power employees joined the harvesting of the hybrid melons, which were immediately weighed and purchased. Other harvested produce was also brought to the MORE Power office for direct purchase by employees as part of the company’s continuing support for the direct farm-to-market approach. The Department of Agriculture–National Urban and Peri-Urban Agriculture Program (DA-NUPAP) also officially turned over the greenhouse with a hydroponics facility to the Ticud Farmers Association. “Kami sa Iloilo City Agriculturist nagakalipay gid nga natigayon ang ini nga project although indi gid ini mahapos from the start since madamo kita gina-consider lakip na kay urban area kita. So ang pinaka-challenge gid ang vacant space. Nagapasalamat gid kami sa MORE Power sa inyo nga support sa City Agriculturist kag sa mga farmers association. Nangin possible ini nga project sa commitment man sang Ticud Farmers Association kag especially sa funding sang DA-NUPAP,” said Ms. Luna Elisel, NUPAP Coordinator of the City Agriculturist Office.

Members of the Ticud Farmers Association received cucumber and chili pepper seedlings, which will be used in their next planting season. Liquid fertilizer and grass cutters were also donated by MORE Power, helping the farmers prepare for and sustain succeeding crop cycles. “Si MORE Power ever since naga-donate gid sang mga seedlings and fertilizer. Daku gid nga bulig sa kay farmers nga ginabakal ninyo ang ila mga produkto. Nalipay gid ang mga farmers nga sa field pa lang, naka-income na sila. Bulig gid ini sa ila para maka-recycle sila sang bag-o nga crop,” Ms. Elisel added. More than a one-day harvest activity, the initiative demonstrates how steady support can help local farmers build a more reliable and sustainable livelihood. The proceeds from the sale of vegetables are reinvested as capital for the succeeding planting season, enabling the association to purchase inputs and continue production. The company has been assisting the farmers of Iloilo City since 2021, especially during the pandemic years when food security became a pressing concern for many communities.

MORE Power’s participation is rooted truly in a continuing commitment to Iloilo City’s farming communities. Beyond providing seedlings, farm inputs, and equipment, the company helps create a practical link between farmers and consumers, where the value of local produce is recognized, purchased, and reinvested in the next harvest. Through consistent collaboration with the Iloilo City Government, the City Agriculturist Office, and farmers’ associations, MORE Power supports a model where urban agriculture can become a lasting source of opportunity, food production, and livelihood for Iloilo City residents.

TMC Iloilo earns second WSO Angels Gold Status for stroke care

ILOILO CITY — For patients experiencing a stroke, every minute counts. At The Medical City Iloilo, this means putting timely, quality stroke care into action, an effort recognized by the World Stroke Organization (WSO) Angels Awards Gold Status for two consecutive years. This year’s award was presented on August 12 during the 27th Annual Convention of the Stroke Society of the Philippines at the EDSA Shangri-La Manila. WSO Angels Awards recognizes hospitals that meet rigorous quality standards in acute stroke care, including rapid diagnosis, prompt treatment, coordinated teamwork, and adherence to internationally accepted clinical protocols.

Putting timely stroke care into action For stroke patients from neighboring provinces, timely treatment depends on how quickly healthcare teams coordinate across hospitals. In Roxas City, Capiz, a patient experiencing a sudden stroke needed urgent transfer to TMC Iloilo because rtPA, a medicine that helps restore blood flow to the brain, was unavailable locally. Still within the critical 4.5-hour treatment window, healthcare teams from Roxas and Iloilo coordinated a transfer and met halfway in Dumarao, Capiz. The patient was then admitted to TMC Iloilo's Acute Stroke Unit and discharged 13 days later. In June 2026, a similar response helped a 60-year-old patient from Antique who suffered an acute ischemic stroke. Through TMC Iloilo's Rendezvous Thrombolysis Program, teams met halfway in San Joaquin, where rtPA was administered before she continued to TMC Iloilo for further care. She was discharged 10 days later with improved neurological status. Together, these cases demonstrate how established referral pathways and coordination between healthcare teams can help patients access timely, specialized stroke care despite the distance.

What this means for patients Timely and expert treatment can improve the chances of functional recovery, including walking, speaking, and performing daily activities, while reducing the risk of long-term disability and supporting better survival and overall outcomes. At TMC Iloilo, healthcare teams and referral partners work together to support this approach. As a result, patients across Western Visayas can receive timely, specialized stroke care more accessible, even when distance is a challenge.

Iloilo City Police Office Recognizes MORE Power Among Important Community Partners in 31st PCR Month Culmination

ILOILO CITY—The Iloilo City Police Office gathered its stakeholders, partners and police personnel as the city’s top cop recognized the agency’s outstanding police stations and community partners. Among its esteemed guests and speakers is MORE Electric and Power Corporation President and CEO Mr. Roel Z. Castro. In his message, Castro recognized the significant achievement of the PNP and its collaboration with its stakeholders which resulted in the steady decline of index and non-index crimes. According to Castro, both index and non-index crimes in Iloilo City declined between 2024 and 2025. Records from the Iloilo City Police Office show a 31% decline for index crimes and 10% for non-index crimes. “This may not happen if it is not because of the relationship that police officers have with their stakeholders. It is just fitting that the ceremony that we celebrated is the culmination of the Police Community Relations Month that really highlights the effectiveness of the programs that are still being implemented. And these are very effective,” says Castro.

Castro cited one of the best examples of proactive collaboration between the police and MORE Power as the campaign against illegal connections. During the initial phase of MORE Power’s 5-year development plan, MORE Power is in close coordination with the PNP in going through every village in Iloilo City. In fact, there are some barangays whose system loss reached a staggering 60%. This contributed to the 30% system’s loss overall when MORE Power assumed the operations. The most significant impact of police community relations and private sector collaboration is during the dialogue with the individuals who were caught tampering electrical connections. Not until MORE Power, the PNP, together with the barangay officials, identified the root cause of the massive pilferage in Iloilo City and the power company sought the help of the Iloilo City Government to lighten up requirements during application has there been a huge decline in the system's loss. From 30%, MORE Power consumers now enjoy a 3.83% system loss. Far from the cap set by Energy Regulatory Commission at 5.5% A feat that Castro attributes to the effective programs being implemented from before up until today. “From somebody who really felt the effect of the program of having this effective community involvement again, as shown by the numbers from 30% systems loss down to 3.83%. The programs help and cooperate with each other. From the side of our officers in uniform, let us understand why it is happening. Those learning should come from the affected of those victims, should come from the community, and as well as sa atin,” says Castro. "I'd like to congratulate the Iloilo City Police Office for a very remarkable outstanding performance for bringing down index crimes. With that, congratulations to Col. Parilla and to all the men and women of the police force,” he added. Police Colonel Wilbert B. Parilla, City Director, Iloilo City Police Office, thanked MORE Power and its partners for the effective collaboration to help secure a peaceful Ilonggo community.

“The success of every police-community relations program is a testament to the collective efforts of our police personnel and our community partners. This recognition reflects our shared commitment to building stronger partnerships founded on trust, accountability, and genuine public service. Together, we will continue to uphold our mission of keeping Iloilo City safe, peaceful, and resilient,” Police Colonel Parilla said. MORE Power reaffirms its commitment in working hand in hand with the Iloilo City Police Office to promote a safer community for Ilonggos while continuously delivering quality and reliable service to its consumers.

MORE POWER MAINTAINS HISTORIC LOW ELECTRICITY PRICE IN ILOILO DESPITE TAX-INCLUSIVE RATES

ILOILO CITY — Rising generation and transmission costs continue to push up power rates across the country, with distribution utilities affected whenever the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP) places the Visayas under yellow or red alert. Manual load-shedding during these alerts, caused by supply shortfalls, has disrupted normal operations. Limited supply amid high demand has driven prices higher, forcing many distribution utilities and electric cooperatives to raise their rates. In June, MORE Power relied more on bilateral suppliers because prices in the Wholesale Electricity Spot Market (WESM) surged. Sixty-two percent of MORE Power’s supply came from bilateral contracts and 38 percent from WESM. Spot market prices climbed from ₱4.45/kWh to ₱10.30/kWh. Overall, the generation rate rose by ₱2.10/kWh, reaching ₱7.735/kWh. Meanwhile, MORE Power’s average distribution charge remains unchanged at ₱1.85/kWh and has been stable for more than three years. This June, MORE Power’s rate reached ₱13.91/kWh, up ₱2.04 from May. Historically, the said distribution utility has the lowest rates from January to May of 2026, tax-inclusive, while many other distribution utilities publish tax-exclusive rates. To avoid bill shock to consumers, the implementation of staggered payments to suppliers was postponed for the month of June. This will ensure that bills do not overlap in the coming months. It also means the increased electricity costs will go directly to the power suppliers, and no added cost will go to the distribution utility. NGCP reports a shortage of supply in the Visayas grid caused by outages at large coal-fired plants. On July 10, NGCP said 15 plants experienced forced outages while 11 others were operating at derated capacity, leaving about 1,031 MW unavailable. Transmission constraints also limit the flow of power from Luzon through the Leyte–Cebu interconnection, reducing the ability to support the Cebu–Negros–Panay grid. These facts indicate that MORE Power did NOT contribute to the increase in electricity prices this June. The company reiterated that all its electricity rates since beginning operations in Iloilo have been tax-inclusive, ensuring no hidden charges on consumer bills.

NEW TUBURAN STUDY CENTER BREAKS GROUND IN ILOILO

ILOILO CITY—Under the midday sun and hopeful clear blue skies, shovels pierced the ground as a significant step toward expanding educational opportunities in Iloilo City marked with the site blessing and groundbreaking ceremony of the New Tuburan Study Center, a project developed by Daguiao Foundation Inc.

On June 27, 2026, the ceremony was attended by Most Rev. Midyphil Billones, DD, Archbishop of Jaro; Governor Arthur Defensor Jr.; Mr. Roel Castro of MORE Power; Mr. Antonio Jon, President, Daguiao Foundation, Inc.; Engr. Rene Tan, Director, Tuburan Study Center, and various personalities. Located along General Luna Street, Barangay Villa Anita, the Tuburan Study Center is envisioned to become a multi-story learning facility designed to provide students with spaces to study, mentoring, reflection, and personal growth spiritually. More than just a building, Daguiao Foundation Inc. seeks an answer to the growing needs of students for environments that encourage discipline, focus, and values-centered spaces. This project reflects the broader reason of the Daguiao Foundation Inc., which has long supported educational and community-based initiatives since 1991 that uplift young men by being grounded both academically and through moral formation. Mr. Antonio Jon, President of Daguiao Foundation, Inc. shared that the foundation has remained consistent in its mission to empower the youth by providing a safe sanctuary where they can learn, grow, and strengthen their moral values. By investing in the potential of young people, the foundation helps shape future generations capable of building a better and more compassionate society. As the ceremonial shovel struck the ground and the time capsule buried underneath, the atmosphere carried both celebration and anticipation of the future. For most, the ceremony represented more than just a groundbreaking ceremony; it was laying a foundation for the future generations. This is set to be constructed in two years time under the project development of RBJR construction services. In a rapidly changing world, Daguiao Foundation Inc. believes that this Tuburan Study Center will stand as a reminder that investing in the youth remains one of the ways to build a better and morally conscious community.

FIRST-EVER UNMANNED SUBSTATION IN THR REGION VI TO SERVE ILONGGOS

ILOILO CITY - MORE Electric and Power Corporation (MORE Power), the sole electricity distributor in Iloilo City, has taken a bold step toward securing the region’s power future. This landmark initiative for the Western Visayas energy sector introduces the area’s first fully unmanned 30MVA substation. This historic milestone stems not from hasty planning but from years of intensive assessment and careful forecasting of consumer needs. The achievement represents a major advance in modernizing the region’s power infrastructure, underscoring MORE Power’s commitment to efficient, reliable, and innovative service for Ilonggo consumers. The facility is remotely controlled from MORE Power’s Control Center via an advanced Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system. Fully automated, it is operated and managed entirely from the center, with real-time data delivering all essential information.

State-of-the-art design allows monitoring of load flow, voltage levels, and equipment conditions without on-site human supervision. Expanding SCADA systems and Intelligent Electronic Devices (IEDs) forms a key part of MORE Power’s five-year development plan and grid modernization efforts.

In a statement, Engr. Wilmar Gonzaludo, PSPD Manager, attributed the success to “long and meticulous planning, plus a deep understanding of the system that Iloilo consumers need. ”It can be recalled that in 2020, during MORE Power’s launch, substations were nearly overloaded, frequently knocked out, and in poor condition, some were not even upgraded for 30 years. MORE Power promptly began repairs, addressing substations, distribution lines, aging poles, high systems loss, and rampant illegal connections. “In other places, SCADA and automation are already in use. Advanced technology exists, so why not leverage it, especially with MORE Power here to deliver the same high-quality services to consumers? ” said Engr. Mark Anthony Molano, Substation Projects Manager. Engr. Molano also emphasized strengthening the distribution system’s foundation to better serve consumers, particularly during peak demand. MORE Power assures tight security, with personnel still guarding the substations—vital installations amid surging electricity needs driven by Iloilo City and the province's economic growth.

MORE Power's electricity rate for May, DECREASED by P0.27/kWh

ILOILO CITY — MORE Electric and Power Corporation is passing on relief to Ilonggo consumers with a reduction in electricity rates for May, despite upward pressure on global commodity prices stemming from the ongoing crisis in the Middle East. The residential rate for May is ₱11.8710 per kWh, down from ₱12.14 per kWh in April. The commercial rate falls to ₱11.00 per kWh from ₱11.27 last month. The movement in retail rates is primarily attributed to a lower transmission charge, which declined to ₱0.26/kWh versus the previous month. The system loss charge was also trimmed by ₱0.027/kWh, reflecting the transmission adjustment; overall system loss improved from 5.37% to 5.20%. On the other hand, the generation charge rose by ₱0.05/kWh due to higher coal prices and increased freight costs associated with imports. Inflation (CPI) and foreign exchange fluctuations also pushed generation costs upward. Prices in the Wholesale Electricity Spot Market likewise climbed to ₱4.47/kWh. Despite the uptick in generation costs, MORE Power managed to lower final consumer rates by sourcing cheaper power under bilateral contracts. “We strive to provide our consumers with the best electricity rates despite the challenges we are currently facing,” said Roel Z. Castro, President and CEO of MORE Power. “MORE Power remains steadfast in ensuring the welfare of Ilonggos by delivering quality and affordable electricity to every household and establishment. As the heat index rises this summer, consumers are encouraged to practice mindful electricity use, since greater appliance demand can lead to higher bills,” Mr. Castro added. The rate cut provides welcome respite as residents contend with rising prices for basic goods and services. MORE Power said the move reflects its ongoing efforts to ease financial burdens on families and businesses in Iloilo City. The company is monitoring price and supply conditions heading into June after the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP) issued several yellow and red alerts, signaling potential supply shortages relative to demand. MORE Power reaffirmed its commitment to maintaining reliable service and affordable electricity for Ilonggos

DOE Honors MORE Power and Negros Power for exemplary Compliance

Taguig City, April 24, 2026 – In a testament to operational excellence and unwavering commitment to transparency, the Department of Energy (DOE) awarded plaques of appreciation to MORE Electric and Power Corporation (MORE Power) and Negros Electric and Power Corporation (Negros Power) for their timely and full compliance with critical reportorial requirements. The recognition highlights the two distribution utilities’ adherence to DOE Department Circular No. DC2023-03-0005. This circular provides supplemental policies for the systematic management of DOE reportorial requirements in the electric power industry, ensuring accurate data flow for participants - distribution utilities, for the year 2025. Plaques, signed by Undersecretary Rowena Cristina L. Guevarra, Ph.D., were presented at the Energy Center in Bonifacio Global City. It underscores compliance’s vital role amid rising power demand from industrialization, renewables, and climate risks, enabling better grid monitoring, outage prevention, and policy reforms. MORE Power serves Iloilo City and nearby areas in Iloilo, while Negros Power operates in Central Negros as the sole electric power distributor. Their efforts support DOE’s data-driven Visayas grid, which is critical post-El Niño and during electrification pushes. “Full compliance equips DOE with important insights that may contribute to accelerating projects like grid modernization and renewables rollout,” said Roel Z. Castro, President and CEO of both MORE Power and Negros Power. “Timely reporting helps streamline DOE approvals, cuts delays, and aids in advancing national electrification targets,” he added. As the Philippines aims for full household electrification by 2028 under DOE’s program, such compliance sets a standard for sector reliability.

PHINMA UI expands student support amid uncertain times

ILOILO City – In response to the rising cost of daily expenses and the challenges faced by students, PHINMA University of Iloilo (PHINMA UI) reinforces its commitment to “making lives better through education” by expanding its Student Support Programs. The enhanced programs are part of the “Kaupod sa Pagpadayon” campaign, a university-wide initiative that encourages students to continue and complete their college education despite economic and social challenges. As part of this campaign, PHINMA UI recently signed a Memorandum of Agreement with the Department of Social Welfare and Development Region VI (DSWD-VI) to strengthen the Hawak Kamay Scholarship Program, which is specifically designed for incoming first-year students from 4Ps beneficiary families. Under this partnership, eligible students will receive up to 80% scholarship grants, providing crucial financial support for their education.

“The Hawak Kamay Scholarship is our way of ensuring that deserving students can continue their studies without being hindered by financial difficulties,” said Martin Benedict Perez, PHINMA UI Chief Operating Officer. “Through this initiative, we hope to empower students to focus on learning while we help address their challenges.” Present during the event was DSWD-VI Asst. Regional Director for Operations Katherine Lamprea, who represented DSWD-VI Regional Director Joselito Estember during the Ceremonial Memorandum of Agreement Signing. She expressed strong support for the program, highlighting the tangible benefits it provides to 4Ps beneficiaries and their families.

Providing the right support For the upcoming Academic Year, PHINMA UI is intensifying efforts to support students’ daily needs through several key initiatives. To address the students’ need for safe, accessible, and affordable spaces, especially those who originally came from outside Iloilo City, PHINMA UI has partnered with boarding houses near the university to provide discounted rates for PHINMA UI students. With the rising prices of transportation, PHINMA UI is also piloting its Transportation Allowance Program, wherein 200 students will be initially selected to ease the burden of commuting. Meanwhile, working students can now continue their education without sacrificing income, with evening programs available for Hospitality Management, Tourism Management, Education, and Business Administration students.

Quality education made affordable Aside from the Hawak Kamay Scholarship, PHINMA UI provides flexible financial schemes, interest-free student loans, and flexible payment terms to make college more accessible. Additionally, the university has lowered its all-in fees for the incoming Academic Year, the lowest among private universities in Iloilo, to ensure that no student is left behind. “Lowering our costs does not compromise the quality of our education. PHINMA UI continues to deliver excellent results, as seen in our recognition as the Top 1 Criminology School in the Philippines in the February 2026 Criminology Licensure Examination,” Perez added. Other than Criminology, PHINMA UI also maintains high board passing rates across other programs, including Education, Nursing, Psychology, Pharmacy, Accountancy, and Engineering, producing hundreds of board passers since 2009. With these initiatives, PHINMA UI remains steadfast in supporting its students not just academically, but financially, ensuring that education remains a pathway to opportunity even in uncertain times.
