MORE Power Bags APEX Company of the Year

MANILA, Philippines – MORE Electric and Power Corporation (MORE Power) took home the prestigious APEX Company of the Year award, held on October 13, 2026, at the Marriott Grand Ballroom, Resorts World Manila.

MORE Power President and CEO Mr. Roel Castro received the award beaming with pride. Castro was also a finalist in the Asia CEO Awards.

The APEX Company of the Year is awarded to companies that show significant innovation, contribute to economic advancement, demonstrate strategic leadership, and drive national transformation.

“APEX company of the year recognizes companies that have achieved something significant but more importantly companies whose success can impact beyond their own organization,” says Haidee Enriquez of Microsourcing Group.

As a distribution utility, MORE Power strengthened its services in more than six years.

It capitalized on rehabilitating the substations, put up new substations, put up insulated power lines, as well as a modern and centralized monitoring system for the entire distribution utility.

The company also initiated the underground cabling of JM Basa Street in Iloilo City Proper District to eliminate spaghetti wires while highlighting the beauty of the heritage sites.

“We are very happy that as an electric distribution utility, where customers sometimes think they don’t have any choice, we try to give our best to our customers in terms of rates as well as in terms of service,” says Mr. Roel Castro.

At present, MORE Power is processing the migration of consumers in Pavia and San Miguel after it was given the Certificate of Public Convenience to operate in some parts of the Iloilo Province.

Mr. Castro was grateful for the consumers of MORE Power for its support to the company citing that the true measure of success is the extent of the benefits that consumers could enjoy.

Among the finalists in the same category are companies such as Acquire Intelligence, Asian Hospital and Medical Center, Concentrix Philippines, Datamatic Global Service Corporation, Pag-IBIG Fund, Magsaysay Maritime Corporation, Robinsons Malls, SixEleven Global Services and Solutions, Inc.
