AMID looming power crisis and the possible power rationing in the Visayas Grid, local officials here are now jump-starting the Cantakoy Falls hydro-power development at the Wahig-Pamacsalan River into Bohol’s newest clean-energy source.
Speaking to the local media at the weekly Mansion news engagement, Bohol Governor Erico Aumentado divulged the possibility of the effect of the planned power rationing in the Visayas grid as an effect of the reduced power outputs due to critical water levels to run the country’s hydro-electric plants.
This as possible shutdown for 40 days of the country’s major hydro power plans loom, reports said.
He hinted that since the Visayas Grid shares a common power source, there is a possibility of making sure that important power requirements of major industrial and commercial centers would be prioritized. That scenario leaves some areas with decreased power, which may result to rotating brown-outs or power rationing.
The governor, who revealed his intention to meet Bohol power providers and the officials of the National Grid Corporation (formerly National Power Corporation), said he wants to be assessed of the local situation by the players themselves.
He also insists he has made it a policy to come up with consultations to come up with any decision.
The governor also revealed he has met Dennis Villareal and Sta. Clara Development Corporation, who has initially shown interest in developing hydro power in Cantakoy Falls.
At present, Bohol power requirement is largely coming from the upgraded 138 KV Leyte Bohol Power Interconnection Project.
That is also complemented by three Bohol based hydro-electric power plants, each capable of at least 2.5 KV of power, separate sources revealed.
The additional capability of another 2.5 KV in Cantakoy would also increase Bohol’s power significantly.
The governor has also earlier revealed the plan to hook Bohol into the Palinpinon Geothermal Facility in Negros, to assure the needed power province’s requirements especially with the operation of the Panglao Island International Airport and the full agro-industrialization dream of Bohol.

GOVERNOR Erico Aumentado vows to unhitch the snag which has kept the Bohol Circumferential Road Improvement Project III ineligible for foreign funding.
Aumentado, who bewailed with the failure of Bohol second and third district representatives to legislate for the immediate conversion of the roads in the Anda peninsula from provincial to national property.
Representatives Roberto Cajes and Adam Relson Jala, Aumentado told the media, have failed in ironing the kinks in the legal impediment within their terms.
International funding for the project can only be used as soon as the subject proposal is converted to a national road and thus becomes eligible for national government funding.
The graduating governor and political giant in Bohol also promised he and soon-to-be third district representative Arthur Yap would make the legislation as their first official acts in the next congress.
That is, if Aumentado wins over rival and Congressman Roberto Cajes’ wife Judith in Bohol’s second District.
Former Agriculture Secretary Arthur Yap, runs unopposed in Bohol’s third District and is a sure winner.
Earlier, provincial government officials have submitted the proposed project for foreign funding.
The project entails major road works including the standard Panglao Island Circumferential Road Improvement, Tagbilaran By-pass Road, Baclayon Diversion Road and the Anda Peninsula Road from Candijay-Anda-Mabini-and then off to Ubay.
The project would add more standard concrete national roads in Bohol and is expected to facilitate the flow of traffic in the tourism highways.
Anda, Bohol’s next in line tourism ace on the sleeve has been identified by the Provincial officials as the next biggest thing to Panglao, Aumentado revealed. (PIA-Bohol)

THE Bohol Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) transfers a government vehicle without any cost to Bohol Island State University (BISU) in simple ceremonies last week.
Provincial Director Ma. Elena Arbon said the office came up with the decision as they are confident that their SAX 764, a Toyota Corolla 1982 would be in better hands with BISU.
She added that the office also believes the transfer goes a long way to help BISU auto-mechanic students upgrade their practical skills in the industry.
The government car, bearing plate number SAX 764 has been in good running until the government austerity measures prevented the office from costly repairs citing that it would even be more cost efficient to transfer the ownership of the vehicle.
Arbon added that the turn-over also makes BISU agree to rehabilitate and recondition the engine while the vehicle would be in their keep.
At the simple turn over ceremonies at the FCB carpark, BISU Tagbilaran, through Professor Fernando Restificar accepted the keys and the task of rehabilitate and recondition the vehicle through their auto mechanics students.
Aside from Arbon, also present during the turn over were Mercy Matalines, DTI Administrative Officer -Designate, Marisol Balistoy, BDD DIvision Chief, Lucille Autentico – HR Designate and Concordia Erano – Property Inspector.
Prof. Restificar, BISU – Main Campus Administrator represented BISU SUC president Dr. Elpidio Magante, who earlier met PD Arbon at DTI-Bohol. (PIA)
