can u be decent enough to even google?
POWER
For now, Cebu is relying mainly on the geothermal energy that is being supplied to the Visayas-Panay grid to which the island is part of. The grid has three main power baseloads with a capacity of over 2,200MW of electricity. Other sources of power are thermal and diesel generating plants.
These sources provide Cebu island with 220V AC electricity.
Power distribution companies for the mainland are the VECO for Metro Cebu and the CEBECO for the rest of the mainland. Island municipalities, meanwhile, are being served by the Bantayan Electric Coop (for Bantayan island comprising Sta. Fe, Bantayan and Madridejos) and the Camotes Electric Coop (for the Camotes group of islands composed of Tudela, Poro, San Francisco and Pilar towns).
However, construction is well on its way for Cebu to have home-based power plants in Naga City through the Korea Electric Power Corp. and Toledo City through the Global Business Power Corp.
The two new projects combined will provide an additional in-land capacity of 436 megawatts of power for Cebu by 2010, which should be more than enough to meet Cebu’s sustained growth in the coming years.
ACCOMPLISHMENT REPORT:
* Distributed some 2,800 electric poles in the barangays
* Energized 81 sitios in 17 municipalities, making it close to achieving its target of 100-percent electrification of every sitio in the province
* Completed the electrification of Hilantagaan island in Sta. Fe
* Signed an agreement between KEPCO-Salcon, National Power Corporation and Transco to ensure an additional power supply to sustain Cebu’s growth
* Supported in the construction of new power plants in the cities of Naga and Toledo
WATER
Distribution of water in Metro Cebu areas is being handled by the MCWD. Water distribution facilities in the towns beyond the metro are being operated and managed either by local water district cooperatives, or their respective municipal governments.
The Cebu Provincial Gov't, however, has begun the process of bulk water supply development to supply the whole island and plans to tap private-public sector partnerships to realize this.
ACCOMPLISHMENT REPORT:
* Completed 22 Level III water systems in the province, which means bringing water through faucets in thousands of households, including major island towns like Bantayan, Sta. Fe and Madridejos
* Finishing 15 more Level III water projects in 2008
* Advocated for, and assisted local government units, in taking over inefficient and non-performing water distribution systems ran by cooperatives for the sake of transparency, accountability, and improved services
* Laying the groundwork for the development of a bulk water supply
* system to supply the entire island of Cebu, through public-private partnership, from water sources in Carmen, Sogod and Badian
TELECOMMUNICATIONS
Cebu is host to major telco companies, whether landline or mobile phone networks connecting all of the island: the PLDT Company and Globe Telecom, among others.
Whether on business or holiday anywhere in its 44 towns and seven cities, one would not have to worry about connecting with loved ones or the office.
Internet cafés also abound, and several establishments in most places are already making use of wireless internet connections.
LAND TRANSPORT
Around Cebu’s 44 towns and seven cities, the public can ride on Vallacar Transit’s Ceres Buses, Philippine Cebu Bus Liners and Rough Riders’ Bus Co., among others. There are also several taxi companies and vans-for-hire servicing the riding public.
ROADS
* Paved 68 percent of the 825 kilometers of provincial roads, targeting 534 kMs by end of 2008 and with an aim to have “not one inch of provincial road unpaved” by 2009
* Concreted 81.67 kilometers of barangay roads through the BRGY Road Concreting program, where a total of 294,000 bags of cement distributed to barangays
