“A rally of resoluteness
in the face of the portents of privatization.” This is what Vince Casilihan of
Karapatan-Bicol has to prompt as a battle cry to fellow Bicolanos amidst
renewed threats of electricity disconnection in Bicol.
The human rights alliance spokesperson expresses the
organization’s censure of the permanent threats of power disconnection confronting
electric cooperatives in the region. Casilihan reiterates that these are “deceitful
maneuvers that shove the people’s electric cooperatives against the wall in
order to force them into privatization”. “Aquino’s lackeys in the Department of Energy,
along with energy industry powerbrokers and crooked officials of electric
cooperatives, rack their brains on how to insist privatization and deprive the
people of their economic rights and extort them of hard-earned money,” he
further protests.
