The Senate of the Philippines approves the bill granting Romblon Electric Cooperative Inc. (ROMELCO) a legislative franchise, enabling it to expand its electric distribution services to three additional island municipalities within Romblon province.
The bill passes smoothly, with no objections from any senators, on May 20.
The expanded franchise is expected to bring reliable and improved electrical services to the residents of these municipalities, fostering better living conditions and potential economic growth.
