GENERAL LUNA, Siargao Islands – Electricity has reached Daku Island, a tourist destination in this world-renowned town of Surigao del Norte.
The R36-million underwater cable project linking mainland Siargao to Barangay Daku supplies round-the-clock power to at least 40 of the 85 households of the island which is also famous for its white sandy beach, surfing spots and game-fishing.

She said the 24-hour power service will enhance economic activity and people’s productivity.
This has ended decades of insufficient power supply that was available only from 6-10 p.m. to a few houses which could afford the costly fuel-fed generator sets.
The project, according to National Electrification Administration chief Edgardo S. Masongsong, is a result of the commitments made by their office to energize tourist islands in the country.
