12/20/2012. According to our source, disconnection will take effect on December 27, 2012. This again due to ABRECO’s failure to deliver checks as agreed upon as condition for re-connection. According to the same source, NGCP (National Grid Corporation of the Philippines) has also issued a disconnection notice.
This is now confirmed by no less than Energy Secretary Carlos Petilla:
Energy Secretary Carlos Jericho L. Petilla said Aboitiz Power has threatened to cut off power supply to the Abra Electric Cooperative Inc (Abreco).
“Ngayon they are being threatened again na puputulan, nag-intervene ako, sabi ko wag December 24. Sabi ko [December] 26 na niyo putulan. Binigyan sila ng (until) [December] 27,” Energy Secretary Carlos Jericho L. Petilla said.

————————–
Here’s the official media release from APRI
AP Renewables, Inc. issues fifth disconnection notice to Abreco
AP Renewables Inc. (APRI) issued a fifth disconnection notice to Abra Electric Cooperative (Abreco) dated December 17 after the cooperative failed yet again to fulfill its commitment to the power generation company. The disconnection is scheduled at 12 noon, December 27, 2012.
Last December 10, APRI suspended its power deliveries to Abreco due to pending financial obligations amounting to P20.2 million and non‐compliance to the settlement agreement.
Power was reconnected the next day after payment for past due billing was made. An additional condition to the reconnection was for Abreco to pay its November billing via regular installment starting December 12 until December 24, and that there would no longer be any instance of non‐compliance to the agreed schedule.
However, Abreco missed the first three installments for December 12, 13 and 14. Abreco was also supposed to process their membership to the Wholesale Electricity Spot Market (WESM) by December 15, as part of the settlement agreement. This will allow the cooperative to have an option for their power supply via the spot market. Again, Abreco failed to act on this commitment.
Moreover, the required Security Deposit that should have been posted in December 2011 per contract has not been provided for.
“As much as we want to continue supplying power to the people of Abra, the continued failure of Abreco to follow its obligations has forced us to issue this 5th disconnection notice,” APRI Senior Vice President Juan Alfonso said.
“We appeal to Abreco to abide by their commitment to APRI and once and for all resolve this recurring issue so the people of Abra will have their well‐deserved security in their power supply.”
APRI operates the Tiwi‐Makban geothermal power plants in Batangas, Laguna and Albay. It supplies one hundred percent of the power needs of Abreco, which serves the whole province of Abra.

Posted by jhay | December 23, 2012, 7:32 pmI hope they are going to settle this problem as soon as possible. I don’t like to celebrate christmas in darkness. Well, ABRECO must do what is necessary to keep Abra from power disconnection.
Posted by mayana | December 19, 2012, 11:43 pmMANILA – Abra residents face a gloomy New Year, as Aboitiz Power Corp threatened to cut off their electric cooperative amid its failure to settle its bills.
Energy Secretary Carlos Jericho L. Petilla said Aboitiz Power has threatened to cut off power supply to the Abra Electric Cooperative Inc (Abreco).
“Ngayon they are being threatened again na puputulan, nag-intervene ako, sabi ko wag December 24. Sabi ko [December] 26 na niyo putulan. Binigyan sila ng (until) [December] 27,” Energy Secretary Carlos Jericho L. Petilla said.
AboitizPower, through unit AP Renewables Inc, supplies the power requirements of Abra Electric Cooperative Inc (Abreco). AP Renewables operates the Tiwi-Makban geothermal power complex.
As of last count, Abreco owed AboitizPower some P54 million.
“Ang usual na nangyayari sa kanila is they issue a notice of disconnection. After a while, magbabayad, next month uulitin na naman yan. Walang katapusan. So paulit ulit yan to the point na last December 10 talagang walang pambayad so they were disconnected,” Petilla said.
Electricity was restored to Abra after three days with Abreco’s partial settlement of P5 million.
The electric cooperative, however, still has to pay roughly P16 million in bills it incurred in October. The amount is due on December 24.
Besides its obligations to AboitizPower, the electric cooperative also owes P350 million to state-owned Power Sector Assets and Liabilities Management Corp (Psalm), and P27 million to the National Electrification Administration (NEA).
Psalm oversees the settlement of National Power Corp’s debts, while NEA supervises the operations of electric cooperatives.
Petilla said the DOE is looking into how the government can help Abreco, but admitted that current options are limited because the utility had signed up under the Cooperative Development Authority as a stock cooperative, giving up NEA supervision.
“Sana kung NEA yan, ngayon pa lang, papalitan na namin yung [general manager] if we have to,” Petilla said.
NEA can also provide a credit line to the coop to help ease its financial troubles. This however means tax payers would end up assuming Abreco’s obligations.
“We’re looking at options. Emergency powers of the President, for example, to step in kaya lang it may take time. Pasko pa naman. Baka ma-brown-out mo sila ng two weeks bago ma-resolve ito and you can’t live for two weeks ng walang power,” he said.
“What I can assure you is there will be power on Christmas day. Christmas season, no comment,” he added.

I was shock to see bangued like this.

You are free to leave anytime if you want. But here’s the thing, abrenian.com is somehow getting into your nerves and now you’re doing a FUD on the users. FUD (Fear, Uncertainly Doubt) I famous trick from Microsoft to beat the hell out of it’s competition like the Mac and Linux. This reminds me of what Gandhi said: “First they ignore you, then they laught at you, then they fight you, then you win”. Anyway just look at abrenian.com’s track record since 2002. If it’s so bias, why is it so popular? This will be my last post on this matter. I don’t need to explain my side. This site’s direction is based on how the users make out of it. We don’t make jokes, we just look at the government and report the facts…it’s up to the users to take it or leave it.

Posted by mayana | December 21, 2012, 6:40 amTHERE’S NO OTHER OPTION LEFT EXCEPT FOR OTHER CANDIDATES, BIG OR SMALL, TO STEP UP TO THE PLATE AND DO WHAT CONG. BERNOS DID WHILE THE GOVERNMENT still weighing to dissolve it, DECLARE IT BANCRUPT, TAKE OVER IT AND OFFER IT FOR BID IF APPLICABLE EXISTING LAWS ALLOW IT. We have many Abrenian lawyers who know the legal remedies, but why such deafening silence now when you are so impressive when it comes to lifting your own bank? Are you afraid to come out in the open even just assisting (secretly) our human rights organization/s to start the legal processes? If that public or private human right organization is also afraid, then you better ask their immediate dismantling for it’s just a waste of taxpayers money, government subsidy, and private donations.
COME ON, face the fact that consumers are cowardly and innocently divided to initiate any action against the Abreco management, why the hell you are so selfish and coward to accept that? Are you waiting for miracle solution to happen thru RIMAT TI ABRA?
Posted by brave heart | December 21, 2012, 4:06 pm@ BRAVE HEART; We should not wait for a miracle solution to happen in order to solve our problems g’yem, our dear province mates should be reminded of that. We should not leave our fate to chance; for what we become is our choice, and our choice alone. Rightly so, our lawyers/members-consumers should come forward and at least advise us as to d possible legal remedies we may avail under d circumstances. Better yet, if they’re bold or even concerned enough to initiate d necessary complaint/action for d protection of our interests in general, and d Abreco in particular.
D last time I checked, we still have 3 aspiring lawyer-candidates for SP members in d provincial board in district 2, namely; Atty. Bachiller, Atty. Alzate, and Atty. Venus – all proven and competent lawyers/counselors. Who knows, this could be a very rare chance/opportunity for them to show their mettle as future leaders of our dear province. Let us call out on them, then…
To them lawyers/candidates/members-consumers, sometimes, we really need people to stand up for what is right. We need leaders who are willing to take that necessary first step towards change…So enough of political grandstanding already, D Abrenian people need results thru action, not empty promises or lip service, and we need it NOW.
This is not only our battle, but also yours to win, thru our concerted action, never thru miracle solution…We will be watching you.
Posted by RIMAT TI ABRA | December 22, 2012, 6:48 pmIf I am not mistaken the Abreco has an outstanding balance of around 400 million pesos. How the hell could they ever pay that? Puraw ton daytoy tal-tallo nga ormot ko dipay nakissayan no di ket nanayonan.
Why don’t we just let the Aboitiz to seize or take over it if our existing laws allow them to do so para wala ng sakit ng ulo ninoman?
Then install Drunken Master as their General Manager and all the municipal mayors to be his collectors.

Posted by palileng | December 22, 2012, 3:43 amAN OPEN LETTER TO GOV TAKIT AND MADAM RUBY
For the past two weeks, Abra has borne witness to heavy artillery of statements tossed from your camp to the Abreco management.
The brownout that precipitated all of these has long been gone and electric power has been restored in all the franchise areas of Abreco in the province. Yet the blame game goes on; all fingers are pointed toward Abreco that is relentlessly demonized in the local media and in social networks. Everything but the kitchen sink has been thrown to the hapless cooperative.
Amid the alarm and confusion spawned by your bombardment, the Abreco management is furiously working round-the-clock to survive the financial crisis besetting its operations. All the attack leveled against it would not distract Abreco from the mandate of delivering quality, safe, secure, reliable, and affordable electric power supply to its 40,000 plus member consumers.
If Aboitiz’s intransigence is the Damocles’ sword hanging above Abreco’s neck, your incessant bickering about leadership change is the albatross hovering menacingly over Abreco’s back. We admire your political acumen in riding piggyback on this issue to reap maximum mileage for your re-election campaign. You parlay misery adroitly into publicity points.
On second thought, aren’t you just wagging the dog’s tail, Sir and Ma’am, in order to divert attention from your own imminent Waterloo viz the unfinished Abra provincial hospital project? Just asking. But let us not digress.
Admittedly, the financial woes of Abreco continue to fester for many billing months to come, like an open gangrenous wound that refuses to heal. Well-intentioned leaders like the Congresswoman have already offered their substantial help to salve and save this ailing public utility organization.
Aside from your maneuverings at NEA, PSALM, Aboitiz, and of late at DOE, and your collaboration with certain NGOs all geared toward leadership change in Abreco—what can the Abreños expect from you in order to address the issue on power crisis?
Do you intend to play possum indifferently until the right moment of power grab plays right into your hands? In that case, you may be correct in expecting a lot of pay-offs from this mess. That’s what you are conjugally in power for. (When in control, ponder.)
Or, you could be in for a big surprise if and when the shit in the fan flies back into your matrimonial face. The winds of change alter direction without your knowing it.
You should not wait out for the mess to run its course. Abreco needs all the help it can get, sans your obstructionist posturing, sans your blatant scheming for more power.
In moments like this, you have the rare opportunity to stand tall in exercising statesmanship above the reach of small quarrels and short expectations. You should help Abreco without setting the pre-condition of possessing it.
After all the artillery of harsh words and dubious plans, you can still emerge big in the hearts of Abreños if you can salve and save Abreco too, beyond mere lip service.
To quote Don José María Aruznendiarrieta: “Cooperativism is the affirmation of faith in human beings, in work, in integrity, in human coexistence, all of which are facing constant and progressive improvement.”
We, your constituents, hope and pray for your enlightenment.
Yours sincerely,
Juan de Abra
