Livelihood electrification

Manila Electric Company’s social development arm One Meralco Foundation pledges to energize using solar power the coffee processing facility of Milalittra Farmers Agriculture Cooperative (MILFACO) in Talakag, Bukidnon. The project, which falls under OMF’s Agriculture and Livelihood Electrification, will boost production and increase the income potential of more than 100 cooperative members coming from the Talaandig indigenous peoples.
