Youth Gets First-hand Experience Inside MORE Power Substation


31 students from a private school in Iloilo City gets a taste of what transpires inside a modern power distribution utility as the Tuburan Adventure Club of Paref Westbridge takes a tour of MORE Power.


“Very highly developed for Panay kag over-all kanami. Very good. If I would apply this, kung ma engineer ko, it would really help kung ma electric engineer ko,” says  Querubin Villanueva III.


The educational tour is part of the initiatives to expose the youth sector to more complicated processes so they may understand it at a young age.

“It’s very fun to look at our power station that runs our electricity. It’s nice, it’s good to take a look at our substations, including the ones in our school. The transformer, stuff like that. It’s good for our electricity,” says Blaise Francis Nufable.


Since then, MORE Power has opened its doors to various institutions who wish to see what goes behind the power utility’s doors. How it delivers seamless service in Iloilo City.

“Thank you so much to Mr. Roel Castro and the People here at MORE Power Iloilo for giving us the opportunity to tour their facilities at how electricity is distributed to our houses, the purpose of substations, the SCADA and how they are maximizing the efficiency of power distribution,” says Gavin Hermollata.


“Now na intindihan how electricity reaches their home from the main source to the transmission to the distribution lines to the home. Mas na intindihan how,” says Rene Tan, school moderator.


The station tour is a great chance for many students to be inspired in taking engineering courses which are highly in-demand these days in a modern and evolving landscape of the power industry.
