DAVAO CITY—Another tribal community in northern Davao City has been connected to the power grid, energizing 300 households of the mixed Ata tribe and non-tribal settlers, the Davao Light and Power Co., Inc. , said.
It said it conducted the ceremonial switch-on at the barangay gymnasium last May and it was participated by officials of the Davao Light, officials from the city government, the barangay council, and residents of the barangay. A resident the company identified only as Julius of Sitio Taloytoy said work productivity has since improved. “Since it becomes too dark in the evenings, we need to eat dinner by five o’clock so we retire from working in our fields at 3:00 o’clock in the afternoon. Now that we have electricity, we’re able to adjust our work hours. Now, we can tend to our fields until five o’clock.”
Marlyn, a food vendor in the nearby elementary school in Sitio KTC said they were able to earn extra money from selling iced water to students. She also said her family already bought a refrigerator to keep their ingredients fresh, when before the food they sell would get spoiled without a refrigerator.
