GUIMARAS Province lies a tale of frustration and discontent.
Netizens have taken to social media to voice their grievances about the erratic brownouts plaguing the province, courtesy of the Guimaras Electric Cooperative (Gamelco).
"Presidente, tabangi kami!" cry out the people to the president of Gamelco.
"Bayad kami sing husto sa inyo pero opisyo nyo patay-sindi sang kuryente. Indi kami dapat paantusan sa kaadlawon nga wala kuryente. Ngaa ginapaantos niyo kami?" they plead.
The frustration runs deep as the people recount their struggles. "Indi kami kabayad utdan dayon. Kada ulan ukon bagyo, nagakulang sa kuryente. Dugang pa, mahal pa ang bayad namon kumpara sa iban!"
A Glimmer of Hope
But amidst the darkness, a glimmer of hope shines from the windmills of San Lorenzo.
Netizens wonder, "Ngaa mahal pa man ang kuryente diri sa Guimaras? May windmills man kita!" They raise a valid point indeed.
Windmills, not just picturesque landmarks but potent symbols of renewable energy, hold the promise of cheaper electricity.
Look no further than Ilocos Province, where windmills dot the landscape and electric bills are notably lower. The advantage of wind turbine technology lies not just in its environmental benefits but in its economic ones too.
Guimaras can break free from the shackles of expensive electricity by harnessing the wind's power. Imagine a future where every gust of wind brings not just relief from the heat but also relief from high electric bills.
So, to the powers in Gamelco, heed the call of the people. Embrace the wind, harness its power, and pave the way for Guimaras's brighter, more affordable future. The time for change is now, and the wind whispers its support.
