MANILA, Philippines – Without SIPCOR in Siquijor, will there be no more brownouts? The answer is anything but simple.

Since Siquijor is not connected to the country’s main power grid, providing electricity is a complicated and sometimes unpredictable process. Unexpected increases in power consumption and rogue power suppliers can plunge the island and its residents into darkness.

Revisiting the past can help Siquijodnons find the most reliable way to brighter future. Their story can also ring true for others served by the Villar family’s companies — from CAMPCOR in Camotes Islands to PrimeWater in different parts of the country. – Rappler.com
