MANILA, Philippines — About 200,000 members of the South Cotabato II Electric Cooperative (Socoteco II) will decide next month whether to approve a proposed joint venture with Razon-Pacquiao-backed Ignite Power, as the former faces P2.1 billion in financial losses and an aging network.

On Wednesday, the power cooperative announced it will hold the plebiscite over four weekends: Sept. 5-6, 12-13, 19-20, and 26-27, 2026.
