STA. MONICA (SAPAO) Way lain naglabaw, kung di SAPAO! The Municipality of Sta. The latter was named after the people called “Calagans”, believed to be of Visayan origin. Monica.

Monica formerly known as “Sapao”, is part of Siargao (“Sidargo”) Island, that belongs to Surigao which is part of the old territory that existed in Northern Mindanao called “Caraga”. They were the inhabitants of the Province of Surigao at that time. Historically, in 1538, the Spanish Expedition led by Francisco del Castro, a Portuguese-born Spanish, landed in what is presently Surigao del Norte pr

ovince, and therein baptized theinhabitants to Christianity. The legendary name “Sapao” originated from a native fisherman, who threw his net to catch a school of fish that exclaimed “Sapao-sapao” whenever it was full, meaning the catch was so plenty that it overloaded the net. Hence, the name Sapao was given to the place. As early as 1683, a Spanish settlement and development was established in Tandag by the Recollect Fathers who had residence at Tandag, Butuan, Bislig, Linao-an in the interior of Agusan and Siargao Island. The stone arched gate of the old church of Sapao is the strong permanent legacy of this early Spanish settlement in Siargao Island. After the Spanish-American War, the American military governor issued an Executive Order to revert Sapao into a barrio under the municipality of Numancia, until October 1, 1953. In March, 1947, a massive activity of revision and division of tax declarations at the Provincial Officer were undertaken between Numancia and Sapao in an effort to create Sapao into a municipality. The revision was completed in March, 1952. In the succeeding year, on October 1, 1953, His Excellency, President Elpidio Quirino issued Executive Order No. 624 officially creating Sapao into a municipality. A few years later, House Bill No. 7233 which became RA 4998, duly approved by President Ferdinand E. Marcos, changed the name Sapao into Sta.

As we diligently work to resolve the power interruption affecting the entire Siargao and Bucas Grande Islands, SIARELCO reminds everyone to exercise extra caution when installing and using backup powers or generator sets to prevent incidents that may cause damage to property or endanger lives.

Please observe the following safety measures:

𝐔𝐬𝐞 𝐚 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐟𝐞𝐫 𝐒𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐜𝐡:
Ensure your generator is connected to your home’s electrical system through a proper transfer switch installed by an electrician. This prevents power from flowing back into the distribution lines.

𝐀𝐯𝐨𝐢𝐝 𝐃𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐖𝐢𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠:
Never connect your generator directly to your home’s main electrical panel without a transfer switch, as this can endanger linemen working on power restoration and pose a serious risk of fire or electrocution.

𝐔𝐬𝐞 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐀𝐩𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐬:
If a transfer switch is not available, use the generator only to power specific appliances by plugging them directly into the generator using appropriate extension cords.

𝐓𝐮𝐫𝐧 𝐨𝐟𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐜𝐢𝐫𝐜𝐮𝐢𝐭 𝐛𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐫:
Turn off the main circuit breaker or any connection to SIARELCO's distribution line before operating your generator to ensure complete isolation from the grid.

𝐅𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐰 𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐮𝐟𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐫’𝐬 𝐈𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬:
Operate the generator strictly in accordance with the manufacturer’s safety guidelines to prevent accidents or equipment damage.

𝐑𝐞𝐠𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐫 𝐈𝐧𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬:
Check all connections and equipment regularly to ensure safe operation and compliance with electrical safety standards.

Safety is paramount when dealing with electrical systems and equipment. By following these guidelines, you can safely take advantage of the benefits of a backup generator set without compromising lives or causing electrical issues.

Let us work together to ensure the safety of both our lineworkers and the community.

Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.
