MORE Electric and Power Corp. personnel are in Cebu and Bohol to help repair and rehabilitate power distribution infrastructures that were damaged at the height of typhoon Odette in December 2021.

The team includes linemen and customer care personnel and vehicles that will be used in the replacement and repair of toppled poles and power lines.

Twenty personnel are assigned to Visayas Electric Company (VECO) while 17 are with Bohol Electric Cooperative (BOHECO).
