OPINYON | MOELCI-II’s Php15.4M Payment: Maayo, Pero Dili Pa Suficiente

via Bhal Abad Cabrera | June 23, 2025

Let’s not sugarcoat it — ang pagbayad sa Misamis Occidental II Electric Cooperative, Inc. (MOELCI-II) sa dugay na kaayong Php15.4 million nga utang ngadto sa City Government of Ozamiz is a long overdue act. It is a welcome move, yes — pero dili kini ang katapusan sa istorya.

This is not a trophy. This is a receipt. MOELCI-II paid an obligation nga ilang dugay na unta gibayran. That’s not a grand achievement. That’s a bare minimum of what accountability should look like.

Yes, we recognize the efforts of the current MOELCI-II leadership. Hats off to Board President Mayeth Romero Sy, Vice President Pempe Deguilmo, and Project Supervisor Cesar Faeldon. They did what their predecessors failed to do for years — and for that, they deserve credit.

Pero dili pasabot nga tungod bayad na ang utang, limpyo na tanan.

Kay let’s not forget, for years, MOELCI-II was the face of mismanagement: taas kaayo ang singil sa kuryente (over Php17/kWh!), poor customer service, frequent brownouts, delayed responses to complaints — ug ang trust sa publiko halos nawala.

Ang pagbayad sa Php15.4 million usa lang ka first step sa taas pa nga lakang padulong sa tinuod nga reporma.

On the other hand, klaro kaayo nga ang City Government of Ozamiz, pinaagi ni Mayor Indy Oaminal, deserves a firm round of applause. They held the line, insisted on accountability, and used their political capital to make sure nga dili lang malimtan ang obligasyon. In fact, under the Oaminal leadership — from the city to the province to Congress — giisa gyud ang sumbanan sa pagdumala og tinud-anay.

But now, the challenge shifts back to MOELCI-II.

Bayad na mo sa utang — good. Rates have gone down — maayo. But let’s talk real progress:
• Still too many power interruptions.
• Still complaints of unexplained charges.
• Still limited presence sa barangay-level customer service.

MOELCI-II, you don’t just owe money. You owe the people better service.

Be transparent with your billing. Invest in infrastructure to improve stability. Put systems in place that protect consumers, not exploit them. In short: act like a true cooperative, not a monopoly in disguise.

And to the local government — padayon sa pagpugos og accountability. This breakthrough should lead to long-term policies, MOAs, and ordinances nga makapugos sa tanang utilities nga motuman sa ilang obligasyon sa katawhan.

This Php15.4 million payment should not be the end of a problem — it should be the beginning of real change.

We, the consumers, are watching.
And this time — we will not forget.

Padayon ang Tinuod nga Asenso: Tatak Oaminal ug ang Ligon nga Alyansa Alang sa Katawhan

Warmest congratulations to Asenso Pinoy Partylist on your official proclamation by the Commission on Elections (COMELEC) as one of the victorious partylist groups in the 2025 National Elections!

This win is not just a political milestone—it is a resounding validation of a vision born from leadership that is rooted in genuine public service. At the core of this victory are three pillars of Asenso, three leaders whose unity, dedication, and action have created real and lasting change:

Asenso Kabataang Pilipino

Partylist Congressman-elect Atty. Indy Oaminal, the outgoing City Mayor of Ozamiz, has transformed his city into a progressive hub for youth empowerment, education, digital access, and skills development. Under his administration, young Ozamiznons gained free access to quality education, tech-driven opportunities, and pathways to employment. Now as the new representative of Asenso Pinoy Partylist, he is set to bring these youth-centered programs to the national stage, so every Filipino youth may dream, act, and succeed.

Asenso Pamilyang Pilipino

Governor Henry S. Oaminal, the founder of Asenso Pinoy Partylist, has long been the architect of transformation in Misamis Occidental. His groundbreaking programs—Serbisyong Tinud-anay ug Lubos-lubos, free hospitalization, housing projects, and livelihood and social assistance—have uplifted thousands of families. As the father of the “Asenso” brand of leadership, he envisioned a movement that not only improved lives locally but would eventually bring Asenso to every Filipino home through national representation—and that vision is now a reality.

Asenso Bawat Pilipino

Cong. Ando Oaminal, the current Representative of the 2nd District of Misamis Occidental, continues to serve with unmatched accessibility and responsiveness. Through medical and burial assistance, infrastructure projects, and programs that reach the most remote barangays, he proves that every Filipino deserves government that listens and acts. His legislative experience and heart for public service make him a vital force behind Asenso Pinoy’s national mission of inclusive progress.

Strength in Unity: Congressman Jason Paredes Almonte

Completing this strong alliance is Congressman Jason Almonte, Representative of the 1st District of Misamis Occidental, whose leadership further reinforces the province’s unified front for development. His coordination with Governor Oaminal, Congressman Ando, and Congressman-elect Atty. Indy has been vital in harmonizing programs and delivering consistent, people-first governance throughout Misamis Occidental.

With these four leaders—Gov. Henry, Cong. Ando, Cong. Jason, and Cong. Atty. Indy Oaminal—Asenso Pinoy stands not just as a partylist, but as a movement rooted in action, unity, and public trust.

Mabuhay ang Asenso Pinoy Partylist!
Mabuhay ang Tatak Oaminal!
Mabuhay ang Misamis Occidental—modelo sa tinuod nga Asenso!
Para sa Kabatan-onan. Para sa Pamilya. Para sa Matag Pilipino.
Padayon sa Serbisyong Tinud-anay!

Congratulations, Asenso Pinoy Partylist!

Dako nga pasalamat ug garbo ang among ipaabot sa Asenso Pinoy Partylist ug sa Asenso Leadership led by its founder Governor Henry S. Oaminal and to the 1st Nominee, Congressman Atty. Indy Oaminal Jr. sa inyong opisyal nga pagproklama sa COMELEC isip usa sa mga napiling winning partylist sa bag-ong eleksyon!

Kini nga kadaugan usa ka lig-on nga ebidensya sa pagsalig sa katawhang Pilipino sa inyong baruganan ug mga adbokasiya alang sa Asenso Kabataang Pilipino, Asenso Pamilyang Pilipino, ug Asenso Bawat Pilipino. You have captured the hearts of the people by pushing forward inclusive programs—education and jobs for the youth, support and welfare for Filipino families, and opportunities for every hardworking citizen.

Gikan sa kabatan-onan nga nangandoy og maayong kaugmaon, sa mga ginikanan nga nagtinguha og malinawon nga kinabuhi, hangtod sa matag Pilipino nga naningkamot matag-adlaw—you are their voice and hope in Congress.

Padayon sa pagserbisyo nga matinud-anon ug makatawhan! We look forward to your meaningful contributions and pro-people legislation that will truly bring Asenso to every Filipino.

Para sa Kabatan-onan. Para sa Pamilya. Para sa Matag Pilipino. Mabuhay ang ASENSO PINOY!

EDITORIAL | When “Home Court Advantage” Means Absolutely Nothing

By Bhal Abad Cabrera | May 14, 2025

It’s one thing to lose in politics. It’s another to be rejected in your own turf.

In the latest electoral showdown, Governor Henry S. Oaminal didn’t just win — he steamrolled his political opponent in Bonifacio, Misamis Occidental. The twist? Bonifacio is the hometown — the supposed stronghold — of none other than Mayor Samson Dumanjug, one of the most vocal and visible allies of the opposition.

The numbers didn’t just tilt towards Oaminal. They buried the competition.

This wasn’t a close fight. It wasn’t even a respectable showing. It was a landslide in enemy territory, the kind that makes you question whether there was ever a real base of support to begin with. Because when you can’t win the votes of your own neighbors, your own barangays, and the very town where your political ally holds office — what does that say about your credibility?

It’s easy to put up tarpaulins, gather crowds, and make noise online. But electoral support? That’s earned on the ground — not declared in press releases.

Bonifacio’s verdict was deafening: they don’t buy what the opposition is selling. Not even with local leadership backing it. Not even with the mayor on the front lines. Not even at home.

That’s not just a loss. That’s a reality check.

Because in the game of power, no matter how many titles or alliances you stack up, the people still hold the final say. And in Bonifacio, they said it loud and clear: enough not this time and not in our name.

"When even your own hometown votes against you — that's not just defeat, that's a full-blown rejection."
