NO MORE SPAGHETTI WIRES IN ILOILO CITY's CALLE REAL

What's up mga Viii! My recent visit last March 2026 in Iloilo City was always special because it is my birthplace. More than nostalgia, I felt so proud of how Iloilo's progress came into shape over the years. Grabe! Anlayo na ng naabot ng aking beloved city.

One of the most amazing developments and transformations I saw in Iloilo City was their bold move to make Calle Real FREE from spaghetti wires. Calle Real was officially named J.M. Basa Street which spans 750 meters and famous for its preserved American era neoclassical and art deco buildings. This street is a mix of old colonial buildings with modern businesses making it a lively place for shopping and tourism. 



Ang City Regulation Ordinance 2023-006 na nagtake effect noong March 13, 2023 ay inaatasan ang lahat ng pampublikong kompanya ng kuryente, mga pampublikong telecommunication carrier, at iba pang katulad na entidad na ilagay sa ilalim ng lupa ang lahat ng kawad at kable.

Bilang pagtugon sa panukala ng City Government of Iloilo, ang MORE Electric and Power Corp. (MORE POWER) ay nagsagawa ng kanilang groundbreaking ng Hybrid Underground Distirbution System (HUDS) noong January 10, 2025 kasama ang Local Government Unit ng Iloilo City.


Ang proyekto ay kinabibilangan ng paglilipat ng mga overhead utility line patungo sa isang underground system. Hindi lamang nito nililinis ang tanawin ng kalangitan, kundi pinangangalagaan din ang arkitektural na integridad ng mga makasaysayang gusali na nakahanay sa lumang business district ng Iloilo. Ang pag-alis ng mga hindi kaaya-ayang kable ay nagpapanumbalik sa biswal na karangyaan ng kalye, na nagbibigay sa mga lokal at turista ng malinaw at walang harang na tanawin ng mga kahanga-hangang arkitektura nito. Inaasahang mapapalakas ng hakbang na ito ang turismo at mga lokal na negosyo, at lalo pang patitibayin ang katayuan ng Calle Real bilang isang sentrong pangkultura at pang-ekonomiya.

This amazing development was made possible because of capital expenditures (CAPEX) of More Electric and Power Corporation (MORE Power). This was a very important factor for development and stability of Iloilo City because they fund long-term investments in electricity infrastructure, modernization and service reliability. These investments directly influence economic growth, business development and the quality of life of residents. True enough, ang swerte ng Iloilo City.

Speaking of CAPEX, alamin sa previous article ko kung ano ang naging epekto ng SYSTEM LOSS at ang mga hakbang na ginawa ng MORE POWER para mapabuti ang power distribution ng Iloio City. 

Ang Capital Expenditures (CAPEX) ng MORE Electric and Power Corporation ay mahalaga sa pagpapabuti ng distribusyon ng kuryente sa Iloilo City dahil ito ang nagpopondo sa pag-upgrade at modernisasyon ng mga imprastraktura ng kuryente tulad ng mga substation, transformer at linya ng kuryente.

Ang mga pamumuhunang ito ay nakatutulong upang mabawasan ang brownout o power interruptions, mapababa ang system losses, at mapataas ang pagiging maaasahan at episyensya ng suplay ng kuryente.

Dahil dito, nakikinabang ang mga residente at mga negosyo sa mas matatag at maaasahang serbisyo ng kuryente, na sumusuporta rin sa paglago at pag-unlad ng ekonomiya ng lungsod.

My Experience With Maya Black Express And Why It Changed How I See Credit Cards

Image
  I was always skeptical of having my second credit card because the first one was really traumatizing. Admittedly, I was kinda irresponsible in terms of handling finances during those times. Those bad decisions have haunted me and my credit score over the years. As a long-time Maya app user, I’ve always appreciated the convenience of digital banking in a fast-paced, modern lifestyle. So when Maya launched its own credit card, Maya Black , I was curious and decided to apply. I was offered Maya Black Express, a secured option where you'll need to make a minimum of ₱12,500 express deposit and 80% of which becomes your credit limit. To my surprise, the entire process was smooth and straightforward. And for the first time in a while, I was able to enjoy real credit card perks again, even with my past credit history. From being an active user of the Maya App for years, I have always enjoyed the perks of utilizing the beauty of digital banks in this modern and active lifestyle. That’s wh...
