Perspective
The electrification of the Philippines was a key national development goal in the mid-20th century, aimed at improving living standards, boosting economic growth and connecting rural communities.[3] Prior to this initiative, many areas, particularly in rural provinces like Misamis Occidental, lacked access to reliable electricity. This lack of access hindered economic development and limited access to basic services. Recognizing the importance of electrification, the Philippine government, through the National Electrification Administration (NEA), launched a nationwide program to establish electric cooperatives across the country.[4]
Following the launch of this national electrification initiative, the province of Misamis Occidental was divided into two distinct service areas, each managed by a separate electric cooperative: Misamis Occidental I Electric Cooperative (MOELCI-I) and Misamis Occidental II Electric Cooperative (MOELCI-II). MOELCI-II was officially organized, registered, incorporated and began operations on June 2, 1976, becoming the 77th electric cooperative to be established in the Philippines.[2] This division aimed to provide more efficient and localized electricity distribution to the residents of Misamis Occidental.
