Davao Light Issues Safety Tips for Jolly, Thrifty Christmas Holiday

Davao City (PNA) –- The Davao Light and Power Company (DLPC) has again issued safety tips for its consumers as Christmas is around the corner.

“We all know that Pinoys smell something magical about these ‘ber’ months. Aside from the fact that the longest Christmas season unfolds in our country and TV programs begin their usual early countdowns, everyone, no age group or gender, has started to spread the good vibes of the season thru Christmas songs and colorful decorations,” Davao Light said in a press release.

DLPC said the holiday season is commonly a period where there is big energy use, but it doesn’t have to be that way all the time.

Davao Light has offered easy tips on conserving energy and saving on Christmas bonus. These are:

1. If you’re planning on replacing your old Christmas lights, consider LED holiday lights. Even though they are a little bit more expensive than the ordinary one, they use less electricity, won’t burn your children’s hands, and they last longer, saving you money in the long run.

2. There is a lot of free e-cards in the internet, yet it is better and efficient to give handmade ones. Use your old stationery or your old school supplies to make a lovely card.

3. The Holiday season can be a time for family trips and night outings. In times like these, turn the lights off when not at home and/or when asleep.

4. Wait until dark to turn on your Christmas lights, but don’t forget to turn them off before going to bed. To avoid unnecessary running up of electricity bill, set a timer on your mobile phone to remind you of switching those lights off.

5. Turn off air conditioners when not badly needed. Open windows to let the natural breeze of the season cool down your home.

6. Don’t put too much food in the refrigerator. Pack food to give away to friends and relatives. (PNA) LAP/LILIAN C. MELLEJOR/LDP
