Tabuk City, Kalinga – Vice Governor Dave Odiem assured support to the Dallac – Nanong – Minanga Indigenous Cultural Communities, saying his office is open to serve should the organization have any concerns regarding the proposed Upper Tabuk Hydroelectric Power Plant.

During the blessing of road going to the proposed hydropower plant and groundbreaking ceremony of the tramline this September 8 in Dun-ol, Bagumbayan, the vice governor cited some benefits of the hydro once it will push through which include lower power bill for the people in Kalinga.

He added that if investors will learn that the electricity cost in Kalinga is low, they will be encouraged to come and invest in the province.

He further said that once the project will operate, Engineer Daniel Peckley, the proponent, shall be paying tax to the government. This, he said, will become an additional source of income to the province.
