Message of MNJQ for AGMA

 

My warmest greetings and felicitations!

 

This year’s theme for the Annual General Membership Assembly, "Beyond Power: Electric Cooperatives Empowering Communities, Changing Lives,” underscores the integral role of electric cooperatives, such as CENPELCO,  in building, shaping, and strengthening our beloved hometown. At their core, CENPELCO has been a dedicated electricity-provider for many families in Bayambang. Throughout the years, we have relied on them for our communities’ needs and our people’s well-being. This relationship thus makes cooperatives more than just suppliers of energy; they are catalysts for community development and progress.

 

One of the most transformative aspects of our administration’s banner program, “Rebolusyon Laban sa Kahirapan,”  is our commitment to consistent, accountable, and total quality  local governance. I hope that this kind of leadership is generated not only in the halls of our Local Government Unit but also in our trusted electric cooperative–CENPELCO. When we integrate the welfare of our constituents in everything we do, this empowers the community, brings people together and amplifies community voices—ensuring that long-term solutions reflect local values and priorities.

 

Cooperatives like CENPELCO breed communities at present by creating networks of interconnected relationships. When individuals gather to converse about mutual objectives, they build connections that make a community far stronger. Such connections also lead to resilience. In times of crisis, whether it is societal challenges, economic downturns, or natural disasters, communities with robust networks are more likely to respond effectively. To be able to deliver necessary services and support during trying times, electric cooperatives are often in the lead with regards to operations, working with non-profit organizations, local governments, and other institutions.

 

Electric cooperatives are so much more than just energy providers; they are an integral part of the communities they serve. And as we move forward, let us remain grounded on our common denominators as public servants—collaboration, local engagement, and sustainable practices. Together, we can deliver not only better access to energy but also a brighter, more promising  future for all Bayambangueños.

 

Mabuhay ang serbisyong matapat para sa mga mamamayan!

Mabuhay ang Bayan ng Bayambang!
