Hand-held radios from Hedcor boost peace and order in Sablan

[OTHER INTERVENTIONS] In its effort to help strengthen peace and order in its host communities, Hedcor helped its stakeholders invest in radio communication as an important asset in responding to urgent situations.

Last August, the hydro company turned over 10 hand-held radios to the Municipality of Sablan and seven to Brgy. Bineng in La Trinidad to help police compacts, Bureau of Fire Protection, and police mobile units to improve each office in monitoring, reporting, and response to urgent conditions and overall peace and order.

Sablan is one of the major gateways to Baguio City and home of the 8-MW Ampohaw hydropower plant built in 1990s. Brgy. Bineng in La Trinidad, meanwhile, is host to the 11-MW Bineng hydropower plants. For almost two decades, Hedcor has been nurturing its partnership with the municipality and the barangay through shared values.
