Member-consumers of Davao del Norte Electric Cooperative under the Cooperative Development Authority faction (Daneco-CDA) would be charged criminally for “illegal reconnection” of their lines at the time the faction took over management of Daneco.
The Save Daneco Movement (SADAMO) said they are mobilizing 1,000 members to oppose a law signed by President Benigno Aquino III that allows the National Electrification Administration (NEA) to take over DANECO and paves the way for the latter’s privatization.
