Electricity Market and Transmission Development Project

While the project as stated in the land acquisition and resettlement plan recognizes the importance of active participation of the different local stakeholders, the municipal, and barangay local government units (LGUs) have largely been credited only on organizing consultation meetings between Transco and the affected people. LGUs could have been likewise tapped as information disseminators and the ?first line of troubleshooters? in instances of grievance. When Transco completed the project and left the project area, it is after all the LGU that is left and is expected to continually address the needs of affected people.
