IMUS, Cavite — June 22, 2026 — The Pentecostal Missionary Church of Christ (4th Watch) (PMCC 4th Watch) and Maranatha Christian Academy (MCA) have officially joined the Energy Regulatory Commission’s (ERC) Consumer Choice Programs through the Retail Aggregation Program (RAP), marking another milestone in the Philippines’ evolving retail electricity market.
The partnership was formalized during a ceremonial signing held at Maranatha Christian Academy in Imus, Cavite, where representatives from the energy, education, and religious sectors gathered to celebrate the collaboration.
Under the agreement, PMCC (4th Watch) and Maranatha Christian Academy successfully aggregated the electricity demand of 13 facilities with a combined load of approximately 1.2 megawatts (MW), enabling them to participate in the ERC’s Retail Aggregation Program. The initiative allows multiple facilities under a common organization to combine their electricity demand to qualify for competitive retail electricity supply, providing greater flexibility in managing energy costs while supporting operational efficiency.
Speaking during the ceremony, EvoEnergi President Julian Lao said the partnership represents more than an energy agreement, highlighting the shared commitment of the participating organizations to responsible stewardship and nation-building. “Today, we gather to mark the beginning of a meaningful partnership built on shared values, shared responsibility, and a shared mission for a better future,” Lao said. “This mission finds a strong connection with Maranatha Christian Academy’s calling to provide quality education that instills Christian values and prepares students to meet the demands and challenges of the 21st century.”
AECO Energy Chief Executive Officer Alan Jones emphasized that retail aggregation enables organizations to improve operational efficiency while creating broader social value.“We’re doing good for society for what we do. It’s our responsibility and our mission to make things more efficient and allocate capital to investments that will drive our society forward,” Jones said.
For Maranatha Christian Academy, the energy partnership is expected to generate savings that can be redirected toward educational priorities. Directress PBR Lily Ferriol said lower electricity costs would allow the institution to invest more in students, teachers, and campus development. “Every amount saved allows us to redirect precious resources to the things that matter most—our students, our teachers, and the mission of our school,” Ferriol said. “As a community service institution, our school exists to provide quality education to Filipino children, especially those who would otherwise be unable to afford it.”
She added that the savings will help fund educational materials, learning programs, facility improvements, and other services that directly benefit students.
Beyond securing competitive electricity rates, the partnership demonstrates how retail aggregation can support schools, churches, and other institutions by improving energy management while allowing more resources to be allocated toward their core missions. For PMCC (4th Watch), the initiative is expected to strengthen its community and mission-driven programs, while Maranatha Christian Academy anticipates enhanced investments in academic programs and campus facilities.
As the Philippine energy sector continues to promote consumer choice and competition, EvoEnergi said it remains committed to helping organizations maximize the benefits of retail electricity through innovative and customer-focused energy solutions. The company continues to support initiatives that enable institutions to reduce energy costs, improve operational efficiency, and create long-term value in line with its commitment to “Evolve Your Energy.”
