These were adopted by SIASELCO as applicable to its operations. However, for certain distribution costs, SIASELCO developed its own classification factors for its demand and customer-related costs using the Minimum-Plant Method. I.B.2. SYSTEM LOSS Witness Mauro, in his testimony, stated that system loss in 2000 was 10.52% (April 29, 2004, TSN p. 51).

He mentioned that out of the 51 barangays, only 21 barangays were energized because these are far flung areas and the cooperative do not have enough facilities and equipment to extend their lines to said areas. He further added that the development program for reduction of system loss includes replacement of defective kilowatt hour meters, maintenance of lines and clearing of right of ways. (April 29, 2004, TSN pages. 59-67). DECISION, ERC Case No. 2001-986 Page 7 of 35 I.B.3.

COMMISSION DISCUSSIONS AND CONCLUSIONS II.A. DETERMINATION OF TOTAL REVENUE REQUIREMENT II.A.1. TEST YEAR The Commission finds SIASELCO’s proposal to use the test year 2000 in its unbundled rate application acceptable, since it is consistent with Rule 15 Section 6 (c) of the Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR) of R.A. 9136. Therefore, the discussions and conclusions that follow are based on Schedule A of SIASELCO’s unbundling application which was based on the Trial Balance for historical test year 2000. II.A.2. GENERATION COST At present, SIASELCO is buying power only from the National Power Corporation-Small Power Utilities Group (NPC-SPUG). The Generation charge shall reflect the NPC-SPUG’s generation charge as approved in ERC Order dated December 20, 2002, Case No. 2002-01 [(In the Matter of the Application for the Approval of Unbundled Power Rates and Basic Rate Increase in the Small Island Grids, National Power Corporation (NPC) – Applicant)]. A separate charge to account for the allowable system loss shall likewise be provided in the bill to end-user (please refer to Section II.B.2.b. for details). Hence, a distribution utility with a system loss that is DECISION, ERC Case No. 2001-986 Page 10 of 35 within the allowable cap can recover from its end-users the total cost of generation.

  • Some Economically Important Bivalves and Gastropods Found in the Island of Hadji Panglima Tahil, in the Province of Sulu, Philippines
    International Research Journal of Biological Sciences ___________________________________ ISSN 2278-3202 Vol. 2(7), 30-36, July (2013) Int. Res. J. Biological Sci. Some Economically Important Bivalves and Gastropods found in the Island of Hadji Panglima Tahil, in the province of Sulu, Philippines Sharon Rose M. Tabugo 1, Jocelyn O. Pattuinan 1, Nathanie Joy J. Sespene 1 and Aldren J. Jamasali 2 1Department of Biological Sciences,College of Science and Mathematics, MSU-Iligan Institute of Technology, Iligan City 2Mindanao State University- Jolo, SULU Available online at: www.isca.in Received 17th April 2013, revised 26 th April 2013, accepted 4th May 2013 Abstract The Philippines is a haven of a rich diversity of marine organisms. Unraveling this diversity had posed a tremendous challenge. The existing security threat in some areas of the archipelago had led to a dearth of information with regard to the diversity of organisms especially the islands located in the province of Sulu. Marine mollusc studies are still among those that are overseen by many researchers. To date, there is still a lack of basic information such as diversity and species checklist that make it impossible to assess the rate of population lost among existing marine molluscs. There is no published information on the actual number of marine shelled molluscan species in the area. This work assessed, described and identified some economically important molluscs in the island of Hadji Panglima Tahil, in the province of Sulu, Philippines. There were a total of 18 molluscs (marine bivalves & gastropods) species found and identified in the island. The molluscs served as food, ornaments and as source of livelihood by residents in the area, which is separated by sea from Jolo, the capital municipality of the province.

Existing Conditions of Flood and Disaster Management in Bangsamoro CHAPTER 5 EXISTING CONDITIONS OF FLOOD AND DISASTER MANAGEMENT IN BANGSAMORO 5.1 Floods and Other Disasters in Bangsamoro 5.1.1 Floods (1) Disaster reports of OCD-ARMM The Office of Civil Defense (OCD)-ARMM prepares disaster reports for every disaster event, and submits them to the OCD Central Office. However, historic statistic data have not been compiled yet as only in 2013 the report template was drafted by the OCD Central Office. OCD-ARMM started to prepare disaster reports of the main land provinces in 2014, following the draft template. Its satellite office in Zamboanga prepares disaster reports of the island provinces and submits them directly to the Central Office. Table 5.1 is a summary of the disaster reports for three flood events in 2014. Unfortunately, there is no disaster event record of the island provinces in the reports for the reason mentioned above. According to staff of OCD-ARMM, main disasters in the Region are flood and landslide, and the two mainland provinces, Maguindanao and Lanao Del Sur are more susceptible to disasters than the three island provinces, Sulu, Balisan and Tawi-Tawi.
