By Fayette C. Rien

CEBU CITY, Feb 28 (PIA) -- Renting a power barge unit to address the power shortage in Siquijor Province is being eyed as a viable option amid the daily brownouts being experienced by residents of the island. 

In a recent meeting of the Regional Development Council (RDC) 7 Sub-Committee on Power, Edmund Veloso of the National Power Corporation - Small Power Utilities Group (NPC-SPUG) said two of the three power barges in the Siquijor island have been badly damaged by Typhoon Pablo in December last year. (PIA 7)
