ILIGAN CITY ELECTRICAL WIRE MANAGEMENT PLAN and STREET LIGHTING UPDATE. Details:
The City Government of Iligan is in talks with top officials from Iligan Light & Power, Inc., PLDT, and other companies that play a crucial role in the present and future of our city's electrical wiring management, to resolve this growing problem.
As we can see, there is a large amount of visible and poorly positioned "๐๐ฝ๐ฎ๐ด๐ต๐ฒ๐๐๐ถ ๐๐ถ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐" in the city from previous installations and due to the weather. This is a common problem among urbanized cities that create cable-related hazards and unwanted accidents.
To stop this issue from getting worse, we are to further discuss and plan with all stakeholders about how to handle these cables moving forward, including how to manage and install new electrical wiring.
During our surveys for the installation of our city's new street lights, a major issue was the already existing messy electrical wires and telephone cables of the city especially in the most populated areas, which may have an impact on the positions of the new LED/Solar street lights to be installed. The wiring for several main roads that will make use of new LED street lights were planned and will be installed with this in mind to avoid adding on to the poor wiring management.

In the coming weeks, a large number of ineffective and obsolete street lights are to be removed for replacement of new LED/SOLAR lights and lots of ๐ฎ๐ฑ๐ฑ๐ถ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป๐ฎ๐น ๐๐๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฒ๐ ๐น๐ถ๐ด๐ต๐ ๐ฝ๐ผ๐น๐ฒ๐ ๐๐ถ๐น๐น ๐ฏ๐ฒ ๐ฝ๐๐ ๐ถ๐ป ๐ฝ๐น๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ฒ. Most of the ๐ ๐ฎ๐ถ๐ป ๐ฅ๐ผ๐ฎ๐ฑ๐ are to be installed with new ๐๐๐ ๐ฆ๐๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฒ๐ ๐๐ถ๐ด๐ต๐๐ as they are brighter, last longer than the existing traditional incandescent bulbs around the city, and use up less energy. Our ๐๐ก๐ง๐๐ฅ๐๐ข๐ฅ ๐๐๐ฅ๐๐ก๐๐๐ฌ๐ฆ will make use of new ๐ฆ๐ข๐๐๐ฅ ๐ฆ๐ง๐ฅ๐๐๐ง ๐๐๐๐๐ง๐ฆ as there is no additional wiring and energy costs, and it is more noticeable in interior barangays that streetlights are broken or non-existent.
The 18th Council, headed by Vice Mayor Dodong Alemania, has also passed a resolution requesting DPWH to ๐ถ๐ป๐๐๐ฎ๐น๐น ๐ถ๐ป๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ป๐ฎ๐น๐น๐ ๐ถ๐น๐น๐๐บ๐ถ๐ป๐ฎ๐๐ฒ๐ฑ ๐๐ผ๐น๐ฎ๐ฟ ๐ฝ๐ผ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฑ ๐ฝ๐ฎ๐๐ฒ๐บ๐ฒ๐ป๐ ๐น๐ฒ๐๐ฒ๐น๐น๐ฒ๐ฑ ๐บ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ธ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐/๐๐๐๐ฑ๐ flush type in the national highway from Barangays Buru-un to Dalipuga.
Even though the new administration, headed by Mayor Freddie Siao, has only been in operation for around 50 days, his vision and the progressive changes it has brought about are already starting to materialize. We will wholeheartedly support the efforts to restore the magnificence of our beloved Iligan City.
