Unfreezing the cooperative's bank accounts 'will be the first order of business' once the interim board of directors starts its task, says National Electrification Administration chief Antonio Almeda.
VIGAN, Philippines — The workers union of the Benguet Electric Cooperative called the removal of general manager Ana Maria Rafael “an initial victory” that gives them room to work with the National Electrification Administration .
NEA administrator Antonio Almeda on Wednesday, January 11 announced the removal of the cooperative’s current Board of Directors . He also recalled the appointment of lawyer Rafael as BENECO’s general manager. Almeda likewise suspended union ally and former general manager Melchor Licoben, who had been chosen by majority of the board to lead the cooperative.“The allegations in the letter I received are skewed and whimsical. These are totally baseless,” Rafael said in a statement.
“We will not give up the fight because we are fighting for what is right. It’s a win for us today, but we assure that GM Mel will come back,” said BENECO Employees Labor Union president Jefferd Monang in a January 11 online interview.Almeda clarified that Licoben would return as assistant general manager, the position he held before the leadership row, after he serves the 45-day suspension.
“Licoben’s penalty is without prejudice of him filing again his certificate of candidacy to participate in the selection appointment process of a regular general manager,” he added.

Turning a snowless ski resort into a national park is complicated | Laura Millan Lombrana / Bloomberg NewsJosé Conesa felt no hesitation as he surveyed the bare slopes of the Guadarrama mountain range in late October. Conesa runs the Navacerrada ski resort and was certain nothing—not the lack of snow and certainly not the Spanish government’s plans to dismantle the resort— would prevent it from operating this winter.
