Playing a key role in the province’s rural electrification program is a forestry technology called high pressure sap displacement that is used in treating electric poles on-site.

Developed by the Department of Science and Technology’s Forest Products Research and Development Institute (DOST-FPRDI), this method prolongs the service life of power and telecommunication poles.
