New NEA chief to light up more villages

National Electrification Administration (NEA) Administrator Edgardo Masongsong vowed to step up the electrification in the countryside and to push initiatives that will bring down the cost of power in the Philippines.

“Bringing light to the barrios should be our top priority because there is a correlation between access to electricity and improved incomes,” Masongsong, who assumed his NEA post on November 18.
