MPC
Plant Manager Engr. Rubin Ramilo told Newsmen that as of September 6, 2013
Plants No, 1 and 2 delivered 58 and 40 megawatts, respectively.
Ramilo
was responding to queries about reports that one of the reasons cited by Mayor
Celso Regencia of Iligan in his letter recalling the Certificate of Compliance
signed by his Chief of Staff and issued by his Office was that MPC has not
attained full capacity.
He
said that 98 megawatts is the full capacity of the Plants.
He
said that MPC received the Mayor’s letter on October 26 recalling the said Certificate
of Compliance on the ground that the Plants were not delivering at full
capacity and that Chief of Staff Melchor Alquisola was not authorized to sign
that letter.
He
added that he personally delivered MPC’s reply on October 29 where they stated that
the Plants are now operating at full capacity and that they have no control of
who in the Mayor’s Office signed the Certification.
“There
was probably a misinterpretation of the digital printouts of the test results,”
he opined.
Asked
to comment on reports that Engr. Robert Ong said he thought he was just asked
to sign an attendance sheet, Ramilo said that Engr. Ong and Atty. Tomas Cabili
read the digital printouts of the test results and then affixed their initials
on the Certificate of Compliance below the name of CELSO G. REGENCIA, City
Mayor.
The
Certificate of Compliance refers to the Terms of Reference of the Sale of the
Power Plant by the City Government of Iligan to CONAL HOLDINGS, the owner of
Mapalad Power Corporation.
Operation
of MPC to full capacity has helped in ending the brownouts in the island of
Mindanao.
