GREEN Core Geothermal Inc. (GCGI), a subsidiary of geothermal leader Energy Development Corporation (EDC), will supply Capiz province with 12 megawatts of power coming from its geothermal plants in Leyte and Negros Oriental. GCGI signed a 10-year power supply agreement with the Capiz Electric Cooperative (CAPELCO) to energize 17 cities and municipalities in the province. “We’re very happy with this deal primarily because of the low rates of geothermal compared with other sources. It’s good that we get 70% of our supply from GCGI’s geothermal plants and only 30% from more expensive sources. We are able to provide both our residential and industrial customers with clean, stable and affordable power,” CAPELCO general manager Edgar Diaz said. Recommend this article... |

 ABS-CBN romped away with two awards in the inaugural Best Media-Initiated Campaign category of the Tambuli Awards 2010 in July. “ Boto Mo, I-Patrol Mo (BMPM): Ako ang Simula” and “ Bro, Ikaw ang Star ng Pasko” Christmas integrated campaign, the only awardees in the category, were cited for their successful combination of creativity, values and integrated marketing effectiveness. Robert Labayen, head of ABS-CBN’s creative communications management (CCM) division, said that “Bro, Ikaw ang Star ng Pasko” promoted the values of resilience and unity, of Filipinos coming together as one people to rise from disaster, while “BMPM” promoted the values of good citizenship and vigilance. The CCM helped conceptualize and produce both campaigns with ABS-CBN’s marketing, production, and other departments. The Tambuli Awards, given out by the University of Asia and the Pacific (UA&P), is the first and only award in the country that recognizes both the business and societal values of marketing communications campaigns.

MEDIA’S job is to tell the story, but no story is worth even one life. We will always cooperate with authorities in trying to resolve complex situations like the Aug. 23 hostage crisis. If the government had called for a news blackout, ABS-CBN would have supported it.
