THE Northern Davao Electric Cooperative expressed appreciation for the Office of the President's decision to extend the suspension of Davao del Norte Governor Edwin Jubahib, a vocal critic of the electric cooperative due to their subpar service in certain areas of the province.Jubahib announced in a statement on June 10, 2024, that despite his initial 60-day preventive suspension expiring, he would remain absent from his gubernatorial duties.
The cooperative emphasized that the complaint filed before the OP was independent and based on legitimate grounds.“The imposition of preventive suspension by the Office of the President against Governor Edwin I. Jubahib was a valid exercise of its power under the Local Government Code and other relevant laws. Irrespective of our opinion, the Office of the President, that is invested with the power of suspension, is the sole judge of the necessity or sufficiency thereof,” Nordeco said.
