Iloilo City’s distribution utility MORE Power certified houses that were cleared of illegal connections through the “jumper-free sticker” that was launched recently.
The program was rolled out at Brgy. San Pedro, Molo alongside the launch of the MORE Protek project.
The effort aims to certify 391 households as legitimate consumers in San Pedro by placing the jumper-free stickers.
MORE Power President and COO Roel Castro and barangay officials recently led a house-to-house inspection at San Pedro.
MORE Power spokesman Jonathan Cabrera said the move is part of the utility’s commitment to protect legitimate consumers as long as they help curb power pilferage.
“We expect the legitimate consumers to take pride in their jumper-free status and set an example to their neighbors. If they don’t have the sticker, they will be considered jumpers and they could be held liable for that,” Cabrera said.
To facilitate the application for legal connections, MORE Power personnel bring application forms to households and assist the residents in processing their applications in tandem with the City Engineer’s Office.
As of now, 311 households at San Pedro, Molo need new connections and meters.
Earlier, Castro said they will make San Pedro a model and jumper-free barangay. He also promised to fix the tangled distribution lines and replace dilapidated poles and obsolete meters in the village.
