It was learned yesterday from Jessie Perez, Quisumibing’s district manager, said the legislator will personally hand over these CFLs to all of his 5,000 constituents in the district.

For Mandaue City alone, Quisumbing distributed 2,500 lamps.

He also intends to distribute 1,500 Monday in Consolacion and 1,000 in Cordova.

To avail of two lamps, residents must show their latest paid electric bill for the month of August.
