National Electrification Administration This is the official FB page of the National Electrification Administration (NEA) of the Philippines. Pelaez thought about it after collaborating with Atty.

The National Electrification Administration (NEA) was created on August 4, 1969 by virtue of Republic Act (RA) 6038 signed by former President Ferdinand Marcos that boldly declared as a national policy objective the total electrification of the Philippines on an area coverage basis. It was considered as a brainchild of the late Senator Emmanuel Pelaez of Misamis Oriental who authored Senate Bill No. 1136, which called for a program on the total electrification of the country especially in the rural areas. William “Bell” Crisp, counsel of the National Rural Electric Cooperatives Association (NRECA) of the United States, who shared his expertise in customizing the American rural electrification model to fit the Philippine situation. In the sponsorship speech delivered at the Senate floor on May 21, 1969, it was pointed out that only 22.9% or one-fourth of all the households in the country had access to electricity. Out of these, 62.8% were in the cities and only 5.8% in the rural areas. On this account, President Marcos certified the enactment of the proposal as urgent alongside House Bill No. 17025, its counterpart in the House of Representatives filed by Congressman Frisco San Juan. On August 31, 1969, the US government granted the Philippines its first loan for a rural electrification program amounting to $3.5-million that helped finance two pilot electric cooperatives (ECs), the Misamis Oriental Rural Electric Service Cooperative, Inc. (Moresco) in Mindanao and the Victorias-Manapla-Cadiz Rural Electric Service Cooperative, Inc. (Vresco)—now known as the Northern Negros Electric Cooperative, Inc. (Noneco)—in Visayas. These served as models for future ECs in the country. Currently, there are 121 ECs nationwide under the supervision of NEA.
