ILIGAN, Philippines – In this day and age, one would be surprised to find an entire town in the country without electricity.
Nunungan, the largest town in Lanao del Norte in terms of land area with a population of more than 18,500, has a local government that operates by using small diesel-powered generators. Dimaporo succeeded her father Abdullah or Bobby, son of the late congressman and governor Mohammad Ali Dimaporo. Her brother Khalid is the representative of Lanao del Norte’s 1st District while her mother Imelda is the province’s governor.
“We have been dreaming of electricity for years. I was born and grew up here without electricity. We have been neglected,” Dimak said. Mamay, who was elected on September 29 as the national vice president for external affairs of the League of Municipalities of the Philippines , said local officials, the Dimaporos included, had to work on providing a better road first to make Nunungan accessible to the rest of Lanao del Norte.
