TACLOBAN CITY — The Leyte II Electric Cooperative (Leyeco II) successfully conducted the Board of Director election for District IV, covering Tacloban City’s northern barangays, on Sunday, June 21, coinciding with this year’s Father’s Day celebration.

According to Leyeco II, the district election provides member-consumer-owners with the opportunity to elect a director who will help formulate policies, provide strategic direction, and safeguard the interests of consumers while ensuring the continued delivery of reliable, efficient, and quality electric service throughout the cooperative’s franchise area.

After the counting and canvassing of votes, incumbent director Ronnie “Bong” Dayon, who ran unopposed, was proclaimed the winner by the District Election Committee (Decom) headed by Prospero Higinio Yazar, securing another term as representative of District IV.
Leyeco II expressed its appreciation to the member-consumer-owners, election officials, volunteers, and other stakeholders whose participation and cooperation contributed to the orderly, transparent, and successful conduct of the election.
