“Castro brought MORE Power to its current status as a reliable and consumer friendly power supply distributor, a viable private enterprise, and an exemplar of corporate citizenship”
He is an alumnus of the University of the Philippines in Los Baños, the Asian Institute of Management, the University of Asia and the Pacific, and the IESE Business School in Madrid, Spain. However, it was in February 2020 when MORE Power took on its legislative mandate, after the Supreme Court dismissed with finality the petition of PECO challenging the constitutionality of R.A. 11212.
Under Castro’s management, the cost of electricity in Iloilo City went a low P7 per kilowatt hour, a lot cheaper than the original P13.
